The Gang Bang Deejays-Light Sound Dance


By Conan The Destroyher


When I started listening to CD1 of the new Bang Gang mix cd "L.S.D",I personally didn't care of it because the selections were somewhat slow for my tastes. plus I wanted to get to the core of what the Bang Gang Deejays are really about....Making your ass shake!!

So it was jettison to CD1 for this review and it was time to slip into CD2 for this one.



The Bang Gang Deejays are from Australia, and it consists of members Dangerous Dan, Doom, Gus Da Hoodrat and Ajax (Australia's number 1 DJ), and these guys are no joke when it comes to both track selection and getting you to party like a rockstar! Truth be told, I rather have these Aussies come over , than the shit djs from Australia who have toured here (T.V Rock I'm looking at your general direction) over the past couple of years!

The name "Bang Gang" is a host of premier parties that the Djs run from time to time.

Now with this review, I will show some favoritism towards The Bang Gang Deejays, because I've been fans of theirs since their wonderful remix of NYPC's "Ice Cream" was firstly downloaded into my hard drive! And unlike the Steve Aoki review, this CD packs a whooping 70 tracks!!!!

As always this CD is geared towards the hipster, alternative, indie scene fanboy and fangirl, which like the Pillowface CD share some similarities for audiences they're aiming for.

The mix compilation is spread over 2 CDs. CD1 as stated earlier is track selections that are around the 99 to 116 Bpms and of course gradually progressing to 120 Bpms for the later to last selections. As said earlier, this wasn't the favorite for me personally because it was too slow to digest in one sitting. There were some stand-out tracks on CD1 (which will be highlighted in red at the conclusion of this entry) that I liked, but to each their own.


CD2 is pretty much a straight no chaser deal. It goes directly into party mode the minute the intro is done, which is promising seems as how I had to bare the brunt which was CD1's selections.

Now with CD2, this is where the gang really shines with their intended selections, which is what I was attracted to when their mixes were released on the blogsphere! Modular Recording artists are present in both compilations such as MSTRKRFT, Kim, The Avalanches, The Bumblebeez and Wolfmother! However there was no sign of The Presets anyway, which is shame........


I only got one gripe with this compilation, and that is the fact that yet again its another Mix CD, which in this day and age feels redundant and not justified because of the Internet making mixes available online for people's conveniences, but that 's only one gripe I had with Mix CDs overall.


However this should not deter you from getting this wonderful mix CD, its worth it. And if this Cd is a clear indication that these guys are next big thing to look forward to from Australia....then go with that gut feeling!

Highlighted in red are the Favs!

TOMMIE SUNSHINE ONSTAGE AT ULTRA MUSIC FESTIVAL


This man deserves our respect! I hope he and his fine ass wife heads down under some time this year!

In fact some time ago, Daniela M left us a comment on the Blah Blah Blahs myspace page


So here's hoping!

Lisa Lewis (Tonight on FALT TV!)


By Lisa Lewis's Pimp

In celebration of Lisa Lewis first (and hopefully the last) television debut, we have obtained a interview from her myspace page in which we will interpret on her behalf!

Nicola Peat Interview for Auckland University of Technology Magazine (AUT)

What made you want to audition to be a naked news-reader?

I applied initially for the position as Marquis Condoms Naked News Flash reader on ALT TV, because I felt i could represent what they were looking for. I made the effort in the audition simply because once in the studio I realised this could be a bigger opportunity than what I had first thought. I now want to succeed as New Zealand's first Naked News Reader because it's not everyday an opportunity like this comes along..., and who knows where the journey could take me.

(Translation) I wanted to be a famous honky on TV. And this journey will certainly lead me back to collecting the DPB and becoming a very bad parent to my crack-riddled 3 year old kid who will be picked on at kindergarten by the other kids simply because I'm a whore with a flappy pussy!

What did you have to do during the audition?

When I first came into the Alt Tv Studio's, I was introduced to a Team that i speculated were the deciding whether I got this job or not. I was then asked why I wanted the job. I replied honestly that I am 27, a mum to a three year old and am guessing I probably have about 3 years peak left on this body and wanted to do all i could to use it!


I was then told the pay package to which I agreed upon. They sat me down at a mock-up news-reading desk where I read a 5 minute news piece that had been prepared earlier. I admit i stumbled on my words and when corrected by the judging panel I listened, wrote notes and corrected where I needed to.., and would try again, moulding together proving to them that I could be the face of Alt Tv's Naked News Flash.


When they were happy with hearing my audition fully dressed, they requested i moved onto the next stage.I speculated because the shows name was the NAKED NEWS FLASH that i was required to audition nude. I came out of the toilet only wearing my heels, and the dressing gown they handed me over one shoulder.

One of the female judges was the only individual in the Audition Room at the time. She blushed and laughed out loud stating the others that auditioned left their underwear on. I suddenly realized I had no undies.

I quickly shared this with her - where she said I could put my pants back on, so as i pulled my black nana-looking tights back on as the rest of the judges came back into the room catching a glimpse of me fumbling clumsily to get my pants back on over my heels.


Once reading the news with less clothes on - i felt more comfortable in my own skin and read it better than before.When they had seen and heard enough, they thanked me for my time and said they were on their last day of audtions and would know who the face of Naked News Flash the next day.

(Translation) After the judges had their way with the other girls, it was my turn to put that flappy saggy pussy to work! Its not like I got nothing better to do than shoot the wind with my crack riddled 3 year old! So Oliver was like "How much do you want this job?", and I replied "So much that I would fuck you sideways till Tuesdays, and your fat friend too".

Do you know if there many other people who went for the role, if so how many and were there males and females?


Haha, I tried to get this inforamtion myself out of the Alt Tv Team in the Sunday Star Times Interview conducted by Emma Page, but their response was each individual that auditioned for Naked News Flash reader signed a piece of paper which protected their privacy (unless they got the job of course).

(Translation) Most of my friends from showgirls! Oliver Driver frequents there, hence my Preverbal backdoor through the auditions


Are you nervous about your new role Lisa?

I have days (where like yesterday) I was stressed thinking the worst that Journalists could come out and sell a story which pitches me out like a bad person. But then i wake up like today, and realise that if it happens it will take place.

And it doesn't matter what I do, I wont be able to destroy their papers they print, i wont be able to control one's concluding thoughts of who I am as a person and how I choose to live out my life.So I just have to relax and focus on my own ways to do the best I can with the opportunity I have been given. Because it is not LIVE, I have an advantage over the typical newsreader who has the heavy duty of reading live so in reality I shouldn't need the rescue remedy herbal medicine sprays! After all - my new career name is "mother of the nation"-and a mother is supposed to be the calm type who knows what to do in a stressful situation!


(Translation): Off course not!! What kind of stupid question is that you peon!!? I'm Lisa the serious naked journalist for Alt TV!!!! Now taste my wrath!

Will you be behind a desk or just standing in front of a Camera?

I start my job in two days for Marquis Condoms as Alt Tv's Naked News Flash Reader, so I havent even seen my desk yet! But from what I have heard - is that I will be seated like a regular NewsReader.

(Translation): We were originally going to shoot at my boyfriend's P lab in Hamilton, but that idea was later axed by the producers of Naked News, and with good reason...(sniff)

I will be reading for the Naked News Flash on Alt Tv Monday-Friday (5days per week) at 10pm for 5minutes to embark on and we will see how much more our viewers want to see as we go
(Translation): Hopefully until I relapse into another "P" induced coma which will be televised live to air and via our streaming thanks to Orcon Internet and Marquis Condoms!


7: Naked newspresenting has become somewhat of a phenomenon around the world, how does it feel to be the "pioneer" for naked presenting in New Zealand and Australia (first for NZ and Australia)?

Going into it, I aim to simply be myself on television while reading the news. There was a beekeeper who shot to global fame by becoming the first New Zealander to climb atop Mount Everest (Sir Edmond Hillary).

Then another icon was an easy to read "humour in adversity" cartoon comic strip written by New Zealand cartoonist Murray Ball. It ran from 1975 until 1999 in newspapers around the world, and resulted in a series of 27 books (collecting the newspaper strips, with additional material), a stage musical, and an animated feature film called Footrot Flats: the Dog's Tale.

And finally -if a gigantic L & P bottle from the town of Paeroa can be tagged as a New Zealand icon and classed as "world famous in New Zealand," - then sure enough, I feel I too can be a New Zealand Icon.


(Translation): I will be an Icon to all who would want amount to the nothingness which is my accolades in life! Yes you too can be like me and ruin a good game of rugby by streaking on the field in my nickers, have a calender that has fugly pictures of me in it before my pre op sex change, and become the embarrassment of the nation!

I want to brainwash little girls into my lifestyle because its all too seductive!

You are an aspiring Journalist arent you? Have you done any other journalistic work?

Yes I aspire to be a Journalist along with alot of other things. It is interesting over all the interviews i have conducted myself in - you are the first to ask me this.


The majority of my interview requests, i ask to be e-mailed the questions they wish or show interest in (like your one), and then I answer in my own words written. I prefer to write before i speak. I then can see my words in front of me giving me a moment to re-consider my answsers before i have in fact sent them or answered them. This saves regrets!This gives them an unlikely odd to change what i have aready written like Media can so easily do when you are just talking in a relaxed environmented interview. Or the tone could come out wrong - giving the Journalist an opportunity to twist that.


I have written a book before - it just has not been published.



I really have been given an opportunity. Some people study Journalism, get a Degree and have to do the crap behind the scenes jobs before even getting on the list to be a News Reader. Every interview i have done involving television for the Naked News Flash in the last week, i have questioned the Interviewer how long it has taken them to get where they are today - in front of the camera bringing current affairs and the questions answered to the people. They all had a range from 6-25 years. And to think.., all i have done is a 5 minute topless video audition.


(Translation): Don't take me seriously! In a couple of years, I will fade into nothingness. I might end up doing a stint in rehab!

New Zealand Music Month (End it already!)




By The Angry Music Reviewer nerd

What were our contributions to this festive month of musical crapness?.......We outed singer songwriter Anika Moa!.........But for the love of god end this nightmare already!


Well we're shy away from 3 weeks till New Zealand Music Month ends, 3 agonizing weeks!


We were going to review Disasteradio's Debut, but we've gone fat 'n lazy with other reviews......Verdict on the Disateradio's "Visions" album......Fantastic! Go get it now!!!!!!!

Oh yes we would like to add that New Zealand Music Month supports capitalism! That is all!

Nu Nu features of nerdy-frames.org (sam old shit!)

By Abortion Boy

Despite having a readership of 3 (you know who you are), we at the Frames are going to introduce some new features to our beloved site over the coming months!

Seeming as how Ms. Jane Yee can warrant 50 or so comments on her blog talking about her horrific nightmare stories on shitty flat mates from the past, we will keep on networking the old fashion way, by spamming the fuck out of people.....only kidding! We're seriously not like that here at the Frames



Instead the answer was right in front of our eyes the whole time, tags!

Okay not to come across as idiotic and predictable but apparently when you place a certain person's name or something that relates to them, it gets picked up by google! For example this entry contains Jane Yee as a tag.....Yeah I know we should have caught on to this when we first signed up with blogger, but hey BFD!



So to that extent we've removed the Labels page element because it was something of a design decision...Okay it looked ugly on the side okay!

Plus we will put a link above the authors page which will have "Reviews", "Interviews" and.....well we'll have to think of the last category for now....Oh yeah adverts! WE WANT ADVERTS!!!!!!

Please give us some adverts (banner sizes please)! Contact us!

nerdyframes@gmail.com



Overall we will still deliver the Non Sequitur randomness which is the Nerdy Frames! More reviews, more geek, more hidden truths behind the facade which is Auckland, more disses, less misses, right on the mark entries for your reading pleasure!



So we will now leave you with a picture of Jane Yee's piggys! This little piggy went inside my mouth!

Steve Aoki-Pillowface And His Airplane Chronicles


By Conan The Destroyher


I personally don't like the concept of Mix Albums at present right now. I mean whats the point of buying a mix album when you can get it from a dedicated dance music fans blogsite instead, which is where I got my copy from. Its not that I personally don't want to buy the CD, its just in this day in age mixes are easy to find thanks to free server sites such as rapid-share, Zshare and mediafire (yes these are my favorites FYI)

The way that the media has view Steve Aoki is that you either love him or hate him, in which case I'm kind of on the fence with him when it comes to his associations with certain celebrities.



Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton,Joel Madden and Danny Masterson from "That 70s show" are personal and close friends of Steve Aoki. And bearing in mind that he also runs indie label Dim Mak Records which is home to such artists as Datarock, Bloc Party and Mystery Jets!

Now lets get to the review of this Mix Album. The track selection is fantastic, thats off course if you're partial to the music thats on offer from Aoki. The starter is Refused "New noise" which is a classic punk track to get things moving.

It also may have a dual meaning to some who are excepting a sissy like house selection.........NOPE NOT A CHANCE IN HELL!!!!!

Expect tracks such as Klaxons "Gravity's Rainbow (Soulwax Remix)", Justice's "Waters Of Nazareth (Erol Alkans Durrr Durrr Durrrrrr Re-Edit)",Green Velvet "Shake And Pop, Does It Offend You, Yeah? " We Are Rockstars " and Erol Alkan's remix of Franz Ferdinand "Do You Want To"


So basically this album is geared towards the Hipster sub-culture, Nu ravers ravers, and many a alt indie crossover fanboy or girl for that matter.





Now for the Cons about this album. First of all I should stop referring to this as an album, but a mix CD. However the way that Steve has been promoting it on his myspace page makes it like he's got a debut album. So to shatter those perceptions, its not an Album!




Another annoying thing about listening to this mix is the fact that there are Adlib moments from some of Steve's music friends such as Kid Sister (on "Shake 'N' Pop"), Spank Rock (on "Waters Of Nazareth"), Har Mar Superstar (on "Element Of Danger") and Hip Hop artist Mickey Avalon (on"Wet n Wild"), which at first works on some levels, but it just ruins the overall listening experience for me personally.

Also with the track selection it feels somewhat dated due largely to many blogs breaking in these tracks prior to the release of this mix CD. So this maybe a downer to people like me who have already heard the majority of these tunes from other mix compilations!

Now with what I've read from Pitchfork's scathing reviews on this CD, I would recommended this mix cd to anyone who are not familiar with Nu Rave or Nu dance as I would've coined it .

As it turns out there are other DJs who are at first not as mainstream as Aoki, but are in the same arena in terms of playing underground dance and Nu Rave within their Dj sets. And no we are not hoping this is the last mix from Aoki, but in the near future he should consider podcasting via Itunes for those who can't get the experience which is Steve!

So its a keeper. As for Steve, if the Blahs ever got to DJ'ed along side with Aoki at a hip LA club, we would not say no to it...........that's of course If Lindsay Lohan is thrown in as an incentive package (Hmmmmmmm blowjobs!)

An open letter to a guy named Gerome

By Conan The Destroyher



This is how far that the Blah Blah Blahs are willing to go to get themselves fresh tunes!




Hello Gerome Sportelli and greetings from Auckland, New Zealand.

We have been looking for one of your tracks entitled "Growth", which we believe is a popular track Miss Kittin has been dropping on your behalf.

We've looked everywhere! Beatport, Junodownload, Bleep.com, Turntable lab. You name it, we couldn't find it!

Is there anyway that we can get you to send "Growth" through an email instead (320 Kbps preferable)? We would love to drop this beautiful gem at our next gig. I know you want us to pay for it, but as said earlier we couldn't find it on any paid MP3 site.

Let us know if there is another option as we will pay top dollar for the digital track of "Growth"


Thank you and love
The Blah Blah Blah DJs



Ouch! Wish us luck on that front.

The track in question that we're looking for is "Growth" which has been a record box favorite of the Blahs favorite Dj and all rounded woman Miss Kittin!



Check this video with Alter Ego and listen to the very first track she starts off with





As for the Blahs, this is probably the lowest they've stooped to!

NZ Youtube Awards. WINNERS!




Oh sweet jesus! These NZ you tube awards are crap!

Ho Hum. Another stinker of a weekend

By Fancy A. Uppercut



Wow there must be a blogging bug going around Blogsvile, because this weekend is a stinker.


I would blame "His whoreness" for his recent entry, but I have no one to blame but myself!

I guess you may have read that Conan wanted to go see the hype which was "The Thursday Night Tea Party", but was turned down at the door because of a dress code violation, which was sad because I know that he is a very passionate DJ that loves his dance music! He also said that he was going to write something good about it, but he is left with nothing but regret....Poor guy!

But you know what they say about the underdogs, they'll have their day.....Keep at buddy!

In fact just try tonight to stream his broadcast on Fleet FM with the Blah Blah Blahs, and you'll see why clubland needs guys like him!

I've checked my gmail inbox and got a Fwd from a close friend, and here we go again with more stinkers to weep over in clubland! I mean look at this!




Have we fallen into a repeat dimension of heavy branded parties with all the regular scene whores who come, pay $20-$30 Dollars to see a DJ fingerbanging his hands in the air, piss off back to Australia, come back in a months time and repeat the whole thing again!





Someone just bring Erol Alkan already...He's our god! That man can make us quiver and quake in our boots! I just hope to dear god that a certain Promotion company doesn't dip their dirty hands into our Erol, otherwise I'm screaming blue murder!

Hmm I'm still writing...............



On Thursday I went into Real Groovy........Man what a good feeling! Some time ago there was an industry rumor floating abouts That our beloved homegrown franchise was going to be bought out by JB's Hi Fi.



Image if you will JB Hi Fi's logo slapped on the side of your beloved Real Groovy store all up in your grill.........Not visually pleasing is it? Now that would have been the scenario if the sale of the Groovy were to happen, the deal fell through, so kudos to Real Groovy!


As always I can never say anything bad about the Groovy, it has it all and more of more! The cool thing about the Groovy is if you're a big electro fan and you can't be fucked asking the banging female hot assistant at the counter to slap your nuts...I mean slap on a cd for you, you can always go to the vinyl section of the store, pick it out and just play it on the Turntables!

Vinyl will always be king! Expensive I know, but its the little things that comes with vinyl, things such as sleeve designs, artwork, the fidelity of the audio and various colored pressing of vinyl which gives it that extra value!

Its a shame that I gave away a full album from Madonna's "Confessions on the Dancefloor" to a friend, and it was pressed in pink!! I know stupid!

As for my fucked weekend, well nothing a good book can't fixed!

So to all my readers...have a good one!
