SMARTY / REVIEW / CASETTE GODS

This is the kind of autistic rap music I wish people would make more often. Correction: this is the kind of autistic rap music people make in my nightmares. "Super Android," Smarty's first tape, sounds like what all the kids will be listening to in 2033. You see, by that point we're all going to be physically deformed and mentally challenged, but our access to technology will have increased tenfold from it's dangerously high current levels. Mutants, like the lady behind this tape, will huddle in their conapts, covered in kibble, reading their homeopapes and channeling god knows what kind of perverted obsessions into their digitunes. Well, pull out your mood organ and set it to "sexy dance party," cause Smarty is like M.I.A. on bath salts, and I should know because of taken LOTS of bath salts. Very unique stuff going on here and we're left with something that will please even the surliest of miners in the off-world colonies. Stream or download the whole album here, but you should order the tape proper (from same site) because it's got amazing double sided full color fold-out artwork.

KID ROMANCE RECORDS Scared of Outside (LP) From whispery mind-scramble to speakermelting blow-out, Kid Romance's WFT-approach to song-sculpting and recording have caused known music connoisseurs to proclaim "brain-damaged arm pit farts" about their sexy and confrontational artform . "Our intentions do not always translate into physical form like sounds or images the way that we want them to. They also tend to need translation from one mind to another because minds change meaning. The work "punk" to me may not mean "punk" to you", says Lucy Watson, Kid Romance front-woman.

Anthony Greaney, maybe more than any other commercial gallerist in Boston, keeps up with the young artists nurtured by the local art schools. Recently, he’s been staging performances featuring some of them, and now he’s mounted an exhibit with work by Dead Art Star and Lucy Watson.

Watson starts with stuffed animals and dolls. She’ll stitch many of them together into plush totems that for all their smiley faces, big eyes, and bright colors, can sometimes feel strangely violent. Some are wickedly effective, others just look like a pile of toys on a 6-year-old girl’s bed.

Watson’s “Dora” is simpler and more open-ended: She garbs a giant Dora the Explorer doll in a fuzzy ladybug outfit made for a toddler. Dora’s hair is a mess; she has a smudge of white paint on her face. She holds her pudgy little hand in a welcoming gesture above a puddle of blue plastic, like a baby shaman inviting us to jump down the rabbit hole.
