Add Date: November 16
Artist: Various Artists
Album: Dedicated to John Heartfield: Metal Postcard 2005-2010
Label: Metal Postcard
Genre: Compilations/soundtracks, rock
Comments: An incredibly eclectic compilation from Metal Postcard Records, dedicated to John Heartfield (German photomontage artist--Wikipedia tells me one of his works was the inspiration behind Siouxsie and the Banshees' "Metal Postcard (Mittageisen)", which leads right back to the album and record label name...). Everything from a cover of a '60s Cambodian hit (track 3), to the web-famous mashup of John Lennon's "Imagine" as "read" by George Bush by Australian mashup artist Wax Audio (track 1), to "underground digital punk" by Brooklyn group Never Heard of Brooklyn--this album is literally a juxtaposition of a whole bunch of obscure groups and genres. Read the album's inside cover, where each track and band gets a sentence or two (but watch for the DNPs--1, 4, 11, 14).
