For those unfamiliar with the denomer Sex Is Disgusting, we are Andy & James and we are a record label based in Brighton. We put out records, put on shows, put out zines and drink beer. Due to our status as two men who decided to press their own records it has been deemed by those at Vice that we should be offered a platform to tell you what music to like once a week. On a Thursday. Works for us. The less people listening to Friendly Fires and the more people listening to The Gories the better. You can go read our blog or our MySpace for information on upcoming records, shows and activities etc etc blah blah. This is the only time we’ll reference the label here, to do otherwise would be a bit crass.

Anyway, enough with the chinwag, here’s the music stuff. Contrary to the plural nature of the name Dum Dum Girls is a solo project involving a girl named Dee Dee based in L.A. Reverb-drenched melodies, jangling guitars and sparse percussion coalesce into something that transcends the sum of its parts due to the fact that this girl knows how to pen a seriously infectious jam. The example I’ve provided however is not a Dum Dum Girls original but in fact Dee Dee taking on GG. Yep, GG Allin’s “Don’t Talk To Me” is reworked as a spacious and haunting hymn, all echo and fuzz. If Allin played the role of a pirate, travelling around raping, pillaging and destroying then Dee Dee is the siren he sails past co-opting his shanty. Mesmerising, look out for releases on HoZac, Captured Tracks and Art Fag Records soon. BONER JAMS ‘03.
