“Memoria polaroid” – un blog alla radio S25E25

“Trasforma il lunedì in un giorno di vacanza” cantano i Gula Blend nella canzone che apre la scaletta di questa sera, e suona quanto mai appropriato per una puntata che va in onda proprio a Pasquetta. Lasciate riposare le braci delle vostre grigliate, non dimenticate di portare fuori il sacco con le bottiglie vuote, e godetevi il giusto riposo per i prossimi sessanta minuti, come sempre pieni di…

This is only the slightest of exaggerations of how much I hate my fingernails... and why... particularly in the colder months. (Such as when this was drawn, last month. lol)

What Kind of Human Have I Become is one of 3 projects from Oamaru, New Zealand musician Matt Plunkett. We've posted about Cuticles a couple of times. Apparently there's another project called The Trendees.

"Avoiding The Diggy Diggy Dogs" is a 2024 7" released on Minneapolis label Soft Abuse. What Kind of Human Have I Become have recently released a full length - "Memory Gut".

What sets this band apart from other Plunkett projects is the presence of Stefan Neville of Pumice.

So, not only does this post celebrate some great modern New Zealand noise rock, it is yet another reminder of an outstanding, unsung label - Soft Abuse. This label has brought us Donovan Quinn, The Bibs, Human Television, Matthew De Gennaro, and Fortunato Durutti Marinetti. What an astounding run.

I've been listening to Scrabbled "Plough Through The Rust" on and off for the past couple of weeks. It's released through Hobart, Tasmania label Wormwood Grasshopper. The Bandcamp sidebar states that the label has been "sporadically releasing antipodean skuzz and clatter since 2011". There are only three releases available on Bandcamp, so I'm assuming the catalogue has more, but I can attest to two releases fulfilling the description. Scrabbled are based in Brisbane, Australia, and an earlier release from the label is from Cuticles, and they are from New Zealand. Both are scuzzy and clattery.

Each time I listened to Scrabbled I thought of Al Montfort. I actually thought this sounded like the type of music he would have made during his heyday (Russell St. Bombings, Total Control, Terry, UV Race). I also like that the Bandcamp page for the release mentions that the band sounds "like [the] Velvet Underground if they had been subject to the unrelenting heat, everyday abuse and suburban sprawl of heartland Australia".

Should You Remove Your Cuticles? – Beautiful With Brains

Should you remove your cuticles? Let’s get one thing straight: I love a good manicure. I love fresh polish, glossy top coats, and the satisfying feeling of perfectly shaped nails.
