That's Plenty

Forgive the impromptu logo. Hopefully. Cover
Trap by The Pop Group / Covered by Gogogo Airheart!
This is a nice little piece of spastic anyway you slice it. The Pop Group were a somewhat amazing and horrible band that crawled out of the wreck of '77 punk rock, but didn't fall quite into the arms of 'sound system ragga post punktronix' but still ended up sound like a dance band, but via funk. Like James Brown. One thing that was interesting where their political lyrics. Part of the band wanted to go more and more abstract, the other half was wanted to go more concrete. Trap is from their demo takes and rarities album We Are Time and sits its behind in the abstract column. So WRT and Trap both soundy-feely disconnected, but there other stuff is titled things like "We are all prostitutes" and "How much longer will you except mass murder?" Whatever, it's on Rough Trade, so it's canonical. Anyway, I found out about the Pop Group, which is a great name, it's a big 'oi! fuck you' to The Band, because of the Go go Go Airheart cover. Also, Sharon Singh didn't know who The Pop Group was when I asked.

Monsieur GGGA!'s cover mos def sat in a studio for a bit, despite the delightful tape hissies, and sounds pretty swell. Lot's of echo. Or is it reverb? It's nice to Airheart putting in so much energy, unlike their lazy cover of Queen's Death On Two Legs, but that's for another day. It's a typical cover, but brings a bit of GGGA weird and mixes it with some earnest nostalgia. And they prolly won't ever do a Misfits cover.
