Low Red Moon
ギター弾いてる時だけは、なんか無敵になった気分でさ！！
Still available in the especially collectable First Edition* due to the legions of proof readers missing an error with the dates on the CD.
Also to be found in the Aether.
Never explain your jokes… but
A gig begorrah!
* Only Edition
** Standard Disclaimer: Yes, it should be ギッツ but I over ambitiously attempted Kana as Kanji, or at least ideogram – guitar headstock ギ & smile ツ
The eagle eyed will spot that the screen capture is from a few days after the post as originally there was just a link to the Firestation Records website.
Our Record Company now sponsor Tennis Borussia who peaked in the punk era & have been steadily relegated since the dawn of indie pop.
I certainly don’t see it as a metaphor.
Back in the mists time, or July 2008 I think it was, the good burghers at Firestation Records of Germany kindly asked us to appear on one of their volumes of indie music of the eighties for which we stuck together a couple of different recordings of J.K. Rant to create a previously unheard version.
After some years in the making this volume has ultimately been included with the Firestation 15th Anniversary box set ‘Still Mad At Me?‘ with the title lost in translation as ‘JK Rent’.
The following are the CD liner notes for the originally planned release as transcribed from the vernacular.
[derivation: worm divided by tonka toy]
“You git!”
[origination: ‘orsham ‘ere ’tis]
Formed in Seattle in 1986 the ill-fated punk band known for their fiery live performances are nothing to do with this motley collection of reprobates from deepest darkest Sussex. Same time, different place, singer tragically moved to Brighton.
[motivation: like the Beatles, but better]
Wanted to be ‘The Misunderstood’ which proved to be far too difficult.
[explanation: pure pop for pop people]
Kings & Barnes Brown & Bitter. (Damn you Hall & Woodhouse, damn you to hell!).
[recollection: À la recherche du temps perdu]
Rob is 6ft 2cm tall, whereas Ben, who isn’t, takes a size ten shoe or boot. Ironically Jim weighs a fantastic 11 stone when lying down. By a strange coincidence neither of them are related.

The answer was Gods.
For one of the occasions the CD was ‘coming soon’ I knocked out a promotional short with commentary idea pinched from the video for the song Zusammen Verschwinden by a band I was listening to a lot at the time Karpatenhund. They continue until this very day as their alter egos Locas In Love.
Errors & Omissions: it should of course have been ‘clench your buttocks’. Sorry for any confusion caused. (The Gits are not liable for any injuries caused by following ambiguous advice).
Probably a bit previous but the word on the web is that The Sound Of Leamington Spa Volume Seven could be out soon. 1
So I’ve knocked out a video for The Gits track included on it, JK Rant. 2
A combination of different recordings to create a new version of this popular vaudeville standard for inclusion in the Firestation Records release ‘The Sound Of Leamington Spa Strikes Back With A Vengeance Part Deux’. This is one of a series of compilations gathering British indie pop releases of the 1980s.
This video takes the kitchen sink approach and tries to fit in all the sorts of things we did on our cassette releases such as using out takes and ‘humorous’ interludes. These were generally funny the first time and profoundly irritating by the third or fourth listen.

Commentary idea half-inched from Karpatenhund’s Zusammen Verschwinden.
