Trust me, there's probably nothing funnier than hearing George Bush's favorite senator, Droopy Dog Lieberman, say "I'm not going to let them get away with it."

Someone needs to work this into a club song.

Sounded like a good idea at the time, so I wrote one. You can download it from Mperia (I'm not gonna leave it up there too long - Lieberman cramps my style - so get it while it lasts) or listen to it using the Mperia player on the right. The song is called Joementum [Nedrenaline Mix]. Let me know what you think.

Update: Greetings, Eschatonians. The comments for permalink are fucked up. So if you want to leave a comment, you can go to the home page (jsff.carvedangel.net) and click "say it."

Update 2: So we've gotten almost 4000 hits from Atrios. Very cool. But no comments! If you like/hate the song, let us know. Also, you can download or stream all of our songs for free from music.download.com/junksickfuckfest. There's also our Mperia player/artist page (though they force me to charge for songs there) and our MySpace page. All our songs are political in nature (we've got songs about terrorism, New Orleans, corruption, the villification of liberals, etc.). So if you're a left-leaning political junkie and into industrial/electronic music, you might enjoy them.

Junk Sick Fuck Fest now has an artist page on Mperia. Mperia is a neat service that let's you put a player on remote Web sites containing all your songs. You'll now see a nifty Mperia player on the left side nav bar that you can use to listen to all of our songs while you read the blog. There is also a link to the JSFF Mperia artist page and a buy now link. Now, regular readers will know that JSFF is Open Source Music - meaning we don't charge for our stuff. Well, Mperia won't let you give tracks away (they want to make some money in exchange for all the bandwidth they're giving away), so I set the price at the lowest available - $0.25. There's no reason you need to pay this though, because all JSFF songs are available for free on music.download.com/junksickfuckfest. But if you want, you can consider your payment as a donation to help keep the truly useful and novel Mperia fiscally solvent. They get 30% of everything we make, which is pretty generous actually. And they are providing a great service for many musicians out there. Hope you enjoy the new player.

After months of slogging through Tu2's piano roll editor and formulating the keyboard parts mostly through trial and error, we finally got ourselves a real keyboard! Amazing, I know. It's a Casio WK 1300. We bought it used - the model is out of production now. It cost only $170 and included the stand, AC adapter, and gig bag. The WK 1300 is (was) one of Casio's high end models. It actually has far more features than I suspected it did. It has a synth programmer, loads of built-in sounds, reverb, drum machine, pitch bend, touch response, MIDI - loads of good stuff. It's nowhere near as powerful as a Korg or Roland professional synth, but it will work for our purposes. Mainly, we want to use it to sound out melodies (which we'll then transcribe in the piano roll editor) and maybe record it for some lead synth parts. The preset sounds are actually pretty good, so I won't mind using them (after requisite application of distortion, filters, and delay).

Gish is very excited and is learning to play as we speak. I've just finished goofing around on it for about 2 hours. It doesn't have a manual, so I'm trying to figure out all the functions (especially the song memory, which is killing me).

Who knows how much we'll actually end up using the thing. But it's good to have one (finally). And if worse comes to worse, we'll at least be able to use it as a MIDI controller. So enough carrying on. Listen for the Casio's appearance in a song sometime in the near or distant future.

Terr0r [Godless Mix] is now up on music.download.com/junksickfuckfest for your streaming/downloading/rating/reviewing pleasure. Check it out.

On another note, I just watched "The Handmaid's Tale." It's a sci-fi movie about a future where right-wing fundamentalists take over the country and relegate women to second-class citizens. It's a perfect theme for a new song I'm working on - an experiment in downtempo inspired by Merry Go Down and tranquilatwist.

Finally! We've posted a new song. It's a remix of our first song, Terr0r. The word "remix" doesn't really do this version justice. We've learned a lot since Terr0r's first release. It's gotten a major facelift, with a new bassline, new drums (including some sweet reverbed snares), extra vox, new structure/progression, new parts, different media samples, the works. It's really quite different and worlds better (IMHO) than the original version. The godless mix is heavier, harder, longer, faster, and more danceable. If you listened to Terr0r [Heresy Mix] and liked it, then you've definitely got to give this new mix a listen. If you hated the last version, then give the new one another chance - I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. In case you can't tell, we're really proud of this mix and are psyched to share it with you. We think it's our best work to date.

P.S. I had some trouble with volume leveling issues, so you might need to crank up the volume a little. Oh, and if you miss the old version, it will be appearing on the b-sides page shortly. It's also still posted on http://music.download.com/junksickfuckfest.

Two Minutes Hate [Goldstein Mix] is now up on music.download.com. Check it out and give us some good ratings.

I have a new mix of Terr0r that I'm itching to put up. Terr0r was our first song, and very primitive, so it was due for a major facelift. But it's just not quite ready yet. The synths, drums, and vox are all done, but I want to get some new samples (the old ones were taken with a T.V. and PC mic instead of sampled directly from the sound card, so the quality sucks).

Samples are great and all, but it can be damn torturous to sift through all those clips from CSPAN, speeches, and cable news to find good stuff. You've got to suffer through all the bloviating right-wing gas bags to find those few delicious sound bites. The worst part is their snide little jabs at liberals. They giggle and titter like little school girls. Makes me want to renounce non-violence and smack their stupid faces.

Sorry, just rambling now. Original point was that I can't wait to share this song with you all, but I'm just going to force myself to hold off. I jumped the gun a little with Two Minutes Hate - I wanted to put some final touches on it but never did because once it was posted I just sorta forgot about it. And now I'm afraid to post it on our music.download.com page due to the fact that it's a pain in the ass to delete stuff. But what the fuck, I'm gonna do it anyway.

Thanks for letting me waste your time. And check back for the new Terr0r [Godless Mix] any day now. Gish is going to find me some samples tomorrow I hope. Be sure you've got that subwoofer cranked when you listen ;-]

As you probably know, MySpace only lets you put up 4 songs on your artist  page. So in order to scam this system and further the radical left-wing agenda of Open Source Music, I've set up a second MySpace page where I've posted what I'm calling our "B-sides." These are experimental, unfinished, or special-purpose songs. There's four songs there now. Two are unfinished pieces (of...), 1 is JSFF's entry in the Adult Swim Bump Contest, and the other is Corruption [Neo Mix] which was posted here on the main page up until a few days ago.

Check out JSFF's B-Sides page on MySpace

Enjoy!
