After many hours (nee days) of praying, gesticulating, prostrating and
bleeding, the VS team have finally been convinced that it is our holy
duty to make another show. Each time, after the pain and suffering
that comes from making such beasts with three backs, we head into the
desert to contemplate. We reflect on our sins and our relationship
with the Lord Jebus (it was a difficult one, we were never really
happy, we only stayed together for the sake of the kids). And after 30
days and 30 nights, we return to the village to spread word of
deliberations and vacillations. And this time, after must vacillating
(We think that means tooling off, big words aren’t out speciality
like), we have returned to the fold with Show 4. Praise be!

With start the show with a traditional mash-up between sex crazed porn
pop and demons being expelled from a possessed servant of God. Really,
the kind of thing you hear every day on the radio and from the pulpit.
The really music starts with Minny Pops, a Dutch post-punk band from
1978 with their track ‘Footsteps’, we follow this with some French New
Wave courtesy of Comix. In her final show (before she morphs from a
caterpillar into a flutterby) DJ SCSI cranks out three tracks of
modern genius. It is a truth well known amongst VS cognoscenti that
both Ringfinger and Kurac were born in the year of our Lord 1894 and
that modern music interferes with both our dialysis and reiki therapy,
so we leave it to Scuzz to keep it real, for da kids. This time she
cracks it dub-step style with Burial, New York crazy motherfucker
style with Fiona Apple and Radiohead supporting style with Caribou.

Soundtracks are a passion of ours and this show is not different with
the French soundtrack maestro, Jacques Denjean kicking it old school
with Psychomatic and from Argentina, the Adolfo Waitzman Orchestra
with Montecarlo Beach. From the recently released compile of Polnareff
soundtracks the formerly very rare and now not so much sound track to
Lipstick. Finally, related to but really completely separate from the
previous three we have some space disco from 1977 off the much sought
after classic album by Herman’s Rocket.

Christian music is one of the mainstays of both versions of VS.
Certainly in our early days, we liked nothing better than to sit
around the piano and sings hymns of solemnity and exultation, Two such
hymns come from Christian in-breeds Robyn and Crystal Bernard who pose
us the question, are we really related to monkeys? Then an unknown
Morman prepares us for the day all the heathens die in a fire-ridden
hell and all the Mormons ascend to heaven in the magic underpants…it
will be a heavenly party.

DJ SCSI returns a slight overture of tracks that will mark her exit
from the collective. Next month we welcome the birth of DJ SCSI-b.
Anyone who argues that they are the same person will get their face
smashed in with our elbows. Choice. KI: Theory can be described as ‘I
dunno’, a particularly insightful critique. When pressed she added
‘guitar heavy bass trip hop’. Can you see why we asked her to leave?
Next we have DANISH atmospherics (attention our beautiful and sexy
hosts at whatyouwant radio).

Two more phat set of beats courtesy of the stylus that can only be
cleaned by Dr Kurac’s records spunk round out the show. Henriette
Coulouvrat is a whacked out Frech synth artist from 1979. And then we
have the band Anus. The less said the better really. In between those
two pieces of Francophone magnificence we have the latest track from
DJ Ringfinger and his incredible shrinking quintet. Entitled, ‘The
devil is coming (out)’ this track is inspired by the chilling tale of
Rev A.A Allen and his attempt to remove books and the stains of Jesus
from a young woman, who does not like blood. As always, please send
