Not sure if this is old news and I just missed the boat on it, but I just found out about this guy Tonetta777. Apparently he was a brief internet sensation in 2008 before YouTube suspended his account and took down all his videos (many have since been re-upped by his fans). That’s a shame. He’s incredible! A highly talented, highly prolific, highly WEIRD middle-aged gay songwriter who accompanies his lo-fi jams with videos of himself three-quarters naked, sweaty, dancing, and lip-synching. Sometimes he’s bizarrely costumed, sometimes he surrounds the videos in day-glo diamond borders and applies odd digital effects, sometimes he merely films himself in his unadorned, poorly lit living room. The music is diverse and well written, and the lyrical topics range from slightly sleazy homoerotic love songs to enthusiastic odes to scat. I’m not joking. Check out the lyrics to “G & B Showers”:
I love what’s yellow, warm and runny
I love what’s dark and thick and chunky
I love what pours into my mouth
so that’s what life is all about
yeah that’s what life is all about
let me be your drain tonight

Few of the other songs (or videos) match that level of insanity, but after listening for a while, it’s not the ridiculousness of the lyrics that sticks with you. These actually are catchy, well written pop tunes, resting comfortably somewhere between Serge Gainsbourg and Ariel Pink (but with a higher signal to noise ratio than the latter). Really though there’s no point describing it, you just have to listen (and watch for yourself)…

No clue where this came from (I found it on a message board), but if you’ve enjoyed what you’ve heard so far, you’ll be happy to know there’s an (unofficial?) 6 CD anthology available of his collected materials (I wasn’t joking when I said he was prolific!) called The Godlike Genius of Tonetta777 - Anthology Vol. 1, which you can download here:

DOWNLOAD CD 1
DOWNLOAD CD 2
DOWNLOAD CD 3
DOWNLOAD CD 4

DOWNLOAD CD 6

I can’t remember if I’ve even mentioned this here yet or not, but I was and still am planning on making a zine on the topic of “internet outsider art” this summer, and this guy will definitely have to be a part of it. If anyone has any suggestions for that zine, or wants to help out or submit some writing (or do an interview), let me know!

My friend Ben’s recent tumblr post reminded me that a while back I discovered a gold mine. Some kind soul had unloaded onto Youtube a batch of vintage videos of the B-52’s performing “at the Downtown Cafe in Atlanta, Georgia in 1978, about a month before the release of their first album”:

“Rock Lobster”
“Hero Worship”
“Devil’s In My Car”
“Downtown”
“52 Girls”
“Runnin’ Around”
“Dance This Mess Around”

The sound quality of these is astounding. And it’s interesting to compare the versions of the songs here to the versions on the album (two songs: “Runnin’ Around” and “Devil’s In My Car” wouldn’t appear on record until their second album, Wild Planet). In a certain sense, they’re just as polished and full sounding as the album versions, but live, they also have a wild punk energy that totally surpasses the album versions (or maybe it’s just the accompanying visual that gives that impression). “Dance This Mess Around” is probably the highlight, as we get to see Cindy Wilson literally screaming the lyrics at the top of her lungs (although this slightly more recent live vid is a nice treat in that respect, as well). And it’s cool to see Fred Schneider, thin as a rail, sporting a wife beater and a face full of stubble, in full on gay southern punk glory, doing the Coo-ca-choo and the Aqua-velva.

Finding these got me all excited about early B-52’s material - does anyone know if there exist even earlier bootlegs floating around out there? The band was around for a full 3 years before releasing their first album, so surely there’s at least a few documents of their beginnings, no? I’m super curious. What did they sound like? Were they more punk rock? Were they more surfy? More girl groupy? Having something akin to the Hardcore Devo comps for this band would really blow my mind.

This is the most awful shit ever made.

My friend Ben posted this on his blog, asking the question “Is it just me, or is America a cultural backwater all of a sudden?”

I just found an even better description. August Brown of the LA Times writes, “The ‘Albucrazy’-based band has done for MySpace emo what some think Soulja Boy did for hip-hop: turn their career into a kind of macro-performance art that exists so far beyond the tropes of irony and sincerity that to ask ‘are they kidding?’ is like trying to peel an onion to get to a perceived central core that, in the end, does not exist and renders all attempts to reassemble the pieces futile.”

Other fun facts about brokenCYDE:
They have 21.7 million total song plays on MySpace.
Their name is a truncation of “broken inside.”
They are signed to the same record label as fellow musical abomination Wicked Wisdom (Jada Pinket Smith’s metal band).
