The final part of Kris Needs Fifty Outiders list for Clash magazine's Outsider issue includes such musicians as Mark Stewart, Daniel Johnston, Underground Resistance, MF Doom and more. 41. MARK STEWART Emerging from punk’s maelstrom fronting the fearsome Pop Group, Mark Stewart charted an idiosyncratic collison course with hip-hop, funk and dub reggaes; one of the most volcanic but subversive creative minds this country has produced. 42. JEFFREY LEE PIERCE After screaming into the Eighties with his Gun Club, Pierce blazed a kamikaze trail of incendiary gigs, epoch-making albums and hell-raising behaviour, claiming his life when he died ...

Here's the thing about Son of Salami. It takes a certain kind of person to think this kind of thing is brilliant. Prerequisites include: a fascination with similarly bent solo crazies, like R. Stevie Moore, Daniel Johnston, Wesley Willis, and so on; an interest in unique and inventive neo-Luddite recording techniques; patience. But if you possess these qualities, consider yourself blessed, because Son of Salami is one of the best Vermont hippies since Ben OR Jerry.  Using his eraserhea...

Welcome to the first edition of The 405 Record Club ! No, we haven't started some sort of mail-order record shop, though that would be pretty sweet, right? No? Ok. Basically 'The 405 Record Club' is about analysing an album over a two-week period, then discussing it with the other members of the group. Essentially it's a book club for music, minus the cheese and wine (though that's not a rule set in stone). If you fancy joining the club, please email hello@thefourohfive.com with '405 Record Club' in the title. Name: Daniel Johnston Album: 'Continued Story ...

Doom metal opuses are a quite rare breed. It's not to say that they've become obsolete nor extinct – the first in Ufomammut's ORO series ought to attest convincingly enough to that – although there undoubtedly aren't enough hour-long songs indebted to doobies out there concurrently. San Jose stoners Sleep's   Dopesmoker  of course can't exactly be classed an A-grade example within such a context – this remastered edition was originally released back in April 2003 – although especially if indulged in when under the influence of heftily scented narcotics, even now it sounds no more dated than that ...

Since the release of 2010’s Causers Of This , Toro y Moi ’s output has become increasingly sleek and sophisticated. In just over a year, he shifted from distorted, synth-driven shoegaze towards a unique brand of funk and jazz-infused pop, as exhibited on his sophomore full-length, Underneath The Pine . September’s Freaking Out EP saw Chaz Bundick arrive at a distillation of the two albums, augmenting his already burgeoning paintbox with an exploration of disco and all-out, four to the floor dance music. So, while a journey into the annals of most artists of a similar vintage might not be ...
