So, previous posts have examined the postmodern relics of
drive-in theaters, as well as the ruins of punk-scene landmarks. Now for some appropriate music to complete this rather odd thread.
Perhaps you have noticed how some of the guitar and synth
work on early 1980s post punk recordings (for instance some of the stuff on the
Cherry Red label, or even a few of Wire’s early melodies) had a jingle-esque
sound to them? No, you probably didn’t. Well, right or wrong, we did notice....
This new song (link below) recycles and artificially mutates old drive-in intermission relics, while
incorporating/grafting some choice riffs from the Golden Age of post punk. As
camouflaged as they may seem, all guitar melodies on this track are actually
from the world of rock and roll, not hot dog retailing. Test your Hi-Fidelity quotient,
and see how many you can identify.
The track is from our as-yet-unreleased album The
Day 1982 Contaminated 1971. Meanwhile, be sure and check out the new 25-year
retrospective of Fossil Aerosol’s work, Decades of Fake Resurrection, available NOW at the iTunes concession
stand….
