Mitch Tennant’s Track-by-Track Guide to Head Noise’s Debut album, Über Fantastique
Tumblr media
Mitch Tennant, singer/songwriter & keytarist with electro art-punks Head Noise, was kind enough to write this guide to the band’s recently released debut album Über Fantastique, especially for redsoapbox.
1. KINGDOM OF CROOKED MIRRORS
We had a lively debate at Head Noise HQ over which song to open the album with, either this track or the one that follows. We eventually decided on “Kingdom of Crooked Mirrors” to kick-start the debut as we think it encompasses all things Head Noise and has a great splattering of our influences in a catchy, oddball pop song. The title of the track comes from a 1963 Soviet fairy tale film and is loosely inspired by Lewis Carroll’s “Through the Looking Glass”. The song reflects our own mantra for creative passion and is also a look at an outsider’s perspective for abstract art and trying to make sense of the senseless. It’s like Alice In Wonderland without the drug references. Ignore the evils of the world and just let the childlike magic speak for itself. 
2. 200,000 GALLONS OF OIL
I was on my lunch break one day surfing the web and a pop-up article came on-screen about fuel, oil refining and other industrial processes that I had very little interest in. However, the title of the piece “Pipeline Spills 200,000 Gallons of Oil” really jumped out at me. I wrote it down and put it aside with my collection of other alphabetical oddities that I type up on Notepad. A little while after, Wayne sent me an electropop demo with a bouncy, squelchy bassline which I felt matched up to this wording perfectly! The title of the song has some sort of political or eco-warrior ring to it but it’s always a surprise to people who question what the song is about, and we say “Uhh… It’s just about oil?” What kind of oil do you want it to be? I’ll leave that up to you, but here are some suggestions: vegetable oil, or maybe oil to slick back your hair.
3. JAPANESE BATTERIES
One Christmas, my partner gifted me an Otamatone, which is basically a screwed-up Theremin/Stylophone synth-like device that is in the shape of a musical note, however it looks more like a giant sperm! It’s become a popular instrument on Youtube for fashioning unusual sounding covers of songs, such as Boney M’s “Rasputin” and A-ha’s “Take on Me”. I was totally amazed by the packaging - it had a little Japanese man with fluffy hair, the inventor of the instrument, looking off into the distance, not unlike some surreal propaganda poster art. The song is, basically, a homage to this strange instrument, and it’s played on the track, not long after the first chorus, just to show off the unusual noises that it makes.
4. ANATOMICALLY CORRECT SHUFFLE
This is a song where I feel the bassline really helps to give the song a danceable bounce, that’s why the title of the track has “Shuffle” at the end of it. This is the first of the collaborations that we have on the album. Wayne sent me a demo he was working on with some bass being played by his friend “Monkey” (who I still haven’t met yet) under the working title “Monkey Jam”. When we started putting the album together, we were coming out of that mad scientist stage persona from the Microwave EP run of shows, so I had a whole lot of science stuck in my mind. I thought we’d go gung-ho as a farewell to the bygone days of false nerdy scholarship with a classic Head Noise sound to it. The lyrics for the song are like an amalgamation of a botched surgery, unusual ailments and chronic nightmares. Luckily, we have Brill onboard to give it that fun little jaunty undertone on the synth, to help keep us sane and avoid any potential lobotomies.
5. MYSTERY LIQUID
This is another Notepad scribble title that I just had to make into a song! When you hear songs about drinking, it’s usually either a fun affair (a drunken pub singalong) or a dark, cautionary tale (alcoholism), so we were looking to meet in the middle between jolly and sombre. I was influenced by Spike Jones & His City Slickers and their song “Clink! Clink! Another Drink”, especially for its humorous look at binge drinking from a 1940s perspective. It seems so harmless and funny, but it’s much more morally twisted if you look at it from the outside. With a bassline from our good friend Connor Llewellyn of Math Rock band “Common Spit”, the song turned into more of a fast-paced rocker with some added spoken word and Dada inspired lyrics from Cat Daczkowski who also plays in Rock band KASIA. I really liked her vocal style as it reminded me of Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth’s unique and unbothered singing approach, so we NEEDED it on the album somewhere.
6. AIRSTRIKE 4000
When I was young, I used to love my Sega Megadrive games console! I played games like Streets of Rage, Golden Axe and Desert Strike, but I got bored easily with Desert Strike because I wouldn’t always know what to do. I wanted to write lyrics that broke the fourth wall too, so the song starts out as a homage to a made-up Sega game in the style of Desert Strike. Then I get bored about halfway through and changed the theme of the song, just like when I was 8 years old and trying to play the bloody game before turning it off to play Sonic & Knuckles instead. It’s a Lo-fi retro Rock vs Synth song with some amazing guitar wobbles/shrieks from Brill and some wicked retro sounds darted across the duration of the track.  
7. NITRO
When we were lucky enough to support “Public Service Broadcasting” last year at the Muni Arts Centre in Pontypridd, we wanted to go all out with a wacky elaborate stage show. We roped in our good friend Mark Strange to help us put together some surreal extras in the set such as a puppet show and a battle royale with Mark dressed up as a Ninja Turtle. We wanted to create our own little ‘introduction song’ for this show for when we walked onstage akin to Devo’s “Corporate Anthem” instrumental. So, Wayne put together our own track to help introduce the band as Mark walked out dressed in a lab-coat to inspect the equipment before we came on. There isn’t much else I can say about this track really other than performance is key! We decided to give the song a promotion from introduction song to intermission song which now sits about halfway through the album. In fact, that’s why it is called “Nitro”, it’s just an anagram of “intro” but with some dynamite flair! 
8. SHRUNKEN HEAD
We used to open the live set with this song. It’s a song about idiocracy within the musical world, not too far off “Cherub Rock” by Smashing Pumpkins. The song is stacked with surreal imagery, which also includes a reworking of the “I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream” phrase from Science Fiction writer Harlan Ellison as a pre-chorus. I think it’s important to have passion in what you do creatively, and you shouldn’t allow others to mistake that devotion for egotism. I went to “Ripley’s Believe it Or Not” oddity museum in Blackpool a couple of times over the years and I got to see a real (or ‘real fake’, you be the judge?) shrunken head in a glass case. Rhys Jones plays some cool guitar lines on this track which is like a mix between Egyptian rhumba and the live dissection of a squirrel. It is an interesting song and we like it very much.
9. INTRUDER-ESQUE
Have you ever had those nights when you’ve gone to bed and looked over at the other side of the room in the dark to see the blurred black outline of a wardrobe or a hanging coat? In a sleep-addled state, this can be terrifying and can lead to “sleep paralysis”. I thought it was an interesting subject to pick up on. We gave the outro to Lloyd Markham of Psych-Electro band Deep Hum to use as his personal synth playground and we love it! I think the entire track captures the vibe of uneasiness that you can get in a sleep-deprived state when you don’t entirely feel safe, with an unknown threat lurking in the shadows.  
10. I EAT CANNIBALS
An old friend of mine said the Toto Coelo song “I Eat Cannibals” sounds like something Head Noise would cover, so we just went off and covered it. I think it goes a little hand in hand with “Shrunken Head” and its voodoo vibe. The track features fantastic backing vocals by Miss Cat Southall, singer extraordinaire! I’m a fan of bands who re-work covers to suit their own sound. We always have an unusual cover in our back pocket if things start to go pear-shaped! We’ve previously recorded songs by Sonic Youth and The Bangles.
11. MR. EVERYWHERE
This is a Rocker Wayne had been working on for a little while until we decided to give it more context and “beef” so to speak. It’s basically a punk song that’s been shaved down to a shouty rock song, with a little bit of synth here and there. The song’s lyrics simply reflect how busy we felt after we released the Special Effects EP and how being in a band can be a lot of stress as much as a lot of fun. 
12. NO PHOTO | NO FILM | NO TELEPHONE
On a trip to Venice, I stopped by St Mark’s Basilica to see the famed “Horses of Saint Mark”. There was a sign near them saying “No Photo, No Film, No Telephone” which made me laugh. Anyway, the track was inspired by a warning sign, but is about the overuse of modern communication technology and the brief escape that we get from these devices. It’s crazy to see how much the world has changed in 20 years, so we summed it up quickly with a fully Electronic Pop song featuring a fun shout-a-long chorus.
13. COMPLY
Someone said to me recently “music has been intrinsically linked to politics since like forever!” and even though there is some truth in that statement, I refuse to believe that it is the most important reason for someone to enjoy listening to music. This is my own attack against people who like to moan and whine until they get what they want, whether it is logical or not. It’s our own protest song which protests protest songs. We’ve made sure the song is happy and upbeat, because ignorance is bliss, eh? 
14. GAMMA GUTS
The spiritual successor to our single “Microwave”, in fact, it’s a loose sequel of sorts. I have a fear that there isn’t enough science behind the use of microwaves. I imagine that there are some harmful side effects, but it scares me to think that we might not have a clue. The song is split into two parts - the first is a goofy little Electro Rock song about the digestion of nuclear materials and then the second part is an electronic instrumental, orchestrated by the band Massa Circles. There are some beats donated by John Barnes and some shouts by Anthony Price too. The song reminds me of Eric Clapton’s “Layla” because it starts off as a fun Rocker and ends with an emotional instrumental akin to side 2 of David Bowie’s Low album. This is one of our favourite songs to play live at the moment because it gives us free rein to experiment musically.

Head Noise / Uber - Fantastique
For the best part of 18 months Aberdare’s Electro Art-Punks Head Noise (Mitch Tennant Vocals & Keytar), Wayne Basset (Synths & Guitar) and Jordan Brill (Synths & Guitar) have been working away on their debut album Über-Fantastique, a record which they describe, in typical Head Noise fashion, as a ‘bombastic, electropop fever dream’. In a detailed, track-by-track guide, Mitch Tennant talked to Kevin McGrath about the record they are about to unleash on an unsuspecting Welsh public.
1. KINGDOM OF CROOKED MIRRORS

40 Reasons Being Single Beats Being In A Toxic Relationship (Or ANY Relationship)

40 Reasons Being Single Beats Being In A Toxic Relationship (Or ANY Relationship)
By January Nelson Updated April 14, 2019
Ieva Urenceva
Ask Reddit has listed out all the reasons you should celebrate being single!
By January Nelson Updated April 14, 2019
Ieva Urenceva
1. I can do whatever I want, whenever I want. I can spend money on myself with zero regard for what anyone else thinks. I don’t have to factor anyone else into my plans or life decisions.
It can be lonely sometimes, but it’s also delightfully selfish.
2. Everything in my car and apartment is exactly where it should be.
3. Being able to sleep diagonally across my bed, so much space!
4. I don’t have to chose between hanging with my friends or my SO.
5. Not getting dragged into lame events with her family that essentially ruin my weekend.
“Oh no, I totally want to drive three hours and hangout with your family this weekend. I had these crazy plans to relax, maybe go for a bike ride, have some beers by pool, go to a movie with our friends, etc. But you’re right, lets drive three hours away to listen to your family argue about politics, eat bland food, and sleep on a futon. Sounds great.”
6. I never have to laugh at unfunny memes found on FaceBook, or explain why I’m laughing so hard at anything.
I never have to justify my joy.
I’m my own person. Full, complete, and content.
And no one can drain that from me.
This is what I love about being single.
7. That stuff can just happen. If I want to change my entire weekend plans, bam – done. If I stumble upon a thing that happens and want to participate, boom – done. If I don’t want to talk to anyone, ka-blam – done.
8. The main thing is that I can live my own life. No drama, fights, etc.. I have my friends which are the same thing, and are reliable to talk to.
9. Nobody is cheating on me.
10. I enjoy not worrying about their success. Life can be difficult, so supporting an SO and putting personal struggles on the back burner to do so can be exhausting.
11. What I liked most about the single life vs. living together with my ex, is getting solid alone time. I like hanging out with people, but I need one or two nights a week just being by myself to keep sane.
12. You don’t wake up because someone else is snoring…
13. One less person to please. One less person to disappoint. One less person to make my heart ache.
14. No relationship problems. I’m a lot happier as a person as it always seemed a relationship would drag down my mood.
15. The fact that I can just talk to my (female) friends and no-one gets jealous or gets the wrong impression.
16. I can masturbate to anyone I want.
17. Not having to have unnecessarily long discussions on where to eat.
18. I’m free of the constant anxiety of if I’m being a good girlfriend/boyfriend.
19. Not having someone constantly upset with me.
-Home from work early? Angry because he couldn’t have had dinner ready earlier. (It’s okay; I can do chores while you cook. I don’t need to eat the instant I walk in the door.)
-Home from work slightly (20 minutes) later than normal? Dinner ruined, inconsiderate and selfish.
-Did the laundry, but didn’t include his stuff? Selfish.
-Did the laundry, included his stuff? Did it wrong, now he needs to do it again, complains the entire time.
-Didn’t have an opinion on what to watch? Not engaged in relationship, made him feel unloved.
-Asked a hypothetical question about which character in a show was the sexiest? Obviously accused him of cheating, don’t trust him. 15 minutes of shouting followed by storming out and door slamming.
Yeah, I’m wayyyyyyyy to tired and old for that anymore. My cats love me unconditionally, and hopefully will eat my body once I die, suitably lowering funeral costs for my loved ones.
20. Being able to move to another city and state as I please for work and/or hobby related purposes.
21. I can flirt with every cute person i met (and there are MANY).
22. So much free time. I spend 6 hours a week at a club at my school, 9-11 hours a week working out, spend Sunday’s playing DND with friends and spend several hours playing guitar on various days. I have time to cook my own meals and do stuff on weekend nights. It’s great!
23. Not having to text “good morning” or “good night.”
You know what time it is. You are not my coworker and I don’t want to feel obligated to make small take when I hate small talk and I’m supposed to be enjoying being with my SO.
I really hate that shit, in future relationships I will be upfront about not wanting to do that because once it starts it takes an argument to stop it.
24. I finally have time to focus on myself instead of worry about what I should do to make his mood better. I have so much time for myself, it’s so nice to be able to do what I want when I want it and didn’t have to plan things around. Fuck social duties and family in law. It’s so liberating.
25. Being able to watch as many episodes of a series you want and not having to rewatch them again while pretending to be surprised.
26. Not feeling anxious about being on my phone too long. (I like idly scrolling through social media, and my ex would get anxious that I was talking to someone.)
27. Not being asked 21 questions about something trivial that they try to pass off as casual conversation when you know it’s interrogation.
28. Not having an empty wallet.
29. Feeling like a real person again, not an enmeshed duo.
30. I have a crippling unrealistic fear of being cheated on. Quite simply, I don’t have the ability/confidence to “relax” in a relationship so it kinda ends up being another stress in my life, which is easy to avoid when comfortability and maximizing my opportunities is what’s most important for me right now.
31. The knowledge you have no relationship to fuck up.
32. Every day is pretty much my day. Zero planning required.
33. I can go a week without texting anyone and they won’t get offended.
34. Recently discussed this with a friend: I don’t have anyone to report to. Usually if you want to do something huge like change the apartment, go on a trip, etc. you have to talk to your SO but I just do what I wanna do.
35. Don’t have to worry about kids.
36. I have never seen a Madea movie. I will never have to see a Madea movie in order to please a significant other.
37. Not having to worry about how my actions might effect my SO. It’s fun to be selfish.
38. I can fart whenever. No guilt.
39. Not having to worry about texting someone back.
40. Main takeaways: can wake up early or sleep in without have a moody person to deal with. I can eat anywhere and it’s always affordable because it’s just me. The weekends are exciting because I’m not obligated to attend SO’s brothers daughters birthday party etc. I can listen to the music that I love at all times. Can go see any movie I want and it’s cheap when you go by yourself. Ultimately I feel that I’ve learned so much more about the world and how to live in it because I’m not waiting or depending on another person to accomplish tasks.

JUST HOW MUCH Does BarkBox Cost a Month?
dog chew toys
There are several more exciting things which are possible to teach your dog to do. If your dog will be outside in sunlight then you ought to take that extra steps to safeguard them from the sun’s ultraviolet rays. Your dog demands special services to be sure it stays healthy and happy. Dogs are thought of as man’s best friend. Other dogs could be excitable or superior strung. Aging dogs will need to have brain games to keep to keep their thoughts sharp merely. About everyone loves to see a cute dog simply. Following the dog is former its typical lifespan, it shows almost all of the signs of human later years normally. The pup has to learn how to have the more compact toys out. Folks who say that it’s expensive to adopt pet dogs has experienced the problems related to an ill puppy. There are certainly likely to be a lot of ways that you may get your pet dog to avoid the behavior. I’ve always loved buying Klaus toys because his excitement is so apparent really. This is a pup who truly appreciates some of the fact that I purchased something for him, or at least it would seem like it. Unlike my cats who literally couldn’t care less about getting presents that aren’t edible. Needless to say, when Barkbox reached out to see if Klaus would like to do a review I jumped on the chance.
Tumblr media
Let’s do a quick run down of what BarkBox is and what they offer; BarkBox is a monthly subscription box for dogs of most sizes. Each box includes two hand bags of treats, one chew, and two toys. Everything is tied with a style together. All of the treats are natural and organic and made in the Canada or US. BarkBox monthly is billed, and decreases in cost if you invest in 6 or 12 month plan. You additionally have the option to become listed on the Extra Toy Club for an additional $9 per month. The first box ships straight away and subsequent boxes ship on the 15th of each month.
interactive dog toys
Klaus getting a whole box of things was the absolute cutest! He would take a toy, run over to the other side of the living space, arranged it down, and operate back to discover what else we'd for him. The package he received was NEW YORK themed. “Poo York City actually! ” I must say i enjoyed all of the silly takes on words within the package. “Pawsonalize. ” “Guaranpeed. ” “Barkefeller Middle. ” So cute! He’s not really picky about treats in order that it was no real surprise that he liked those (As observed in among the photographs above, Professor was very thinking about the bag of treats also. A couple of days later he would rip open the bag and try to steal them. The toys were a huge hit too. I’ve mentioned in the past how much Klaus loves squeaky toys so I was stoked to find that both of the toys in his box had squeakers. I was a little bit worried about the toys not supporting for lengthy though. Klaus can be a selective plaything destroyer meaning there are playthings that he shreds quickly but something of an identical quality might last for weeks for no particular cause. Been in regards to a couple weeks it’s, and surprisingly plenty of he hasn’t destroyed either plaything. Better fresh is that he discovered a fresh favorite toy even, a ball shaped just like the statue of libertyHe literally bears it everywhere, and is continually placing it on my arm in hopes that I’ll try to steal it from him. Mmm. I love soggy toys. He is currently laying beside me on the couch with that ball under his chin. When he finally does destroy that toy I could purchase him another from the BarkShop actually, which is a real way to buy toys and treats without the subscription.
