I've made if safe to sunny L.A., so now's the time to celebrate. Porno Porkchop is a perverse, semi-guilty pleasure, a drums/acoustic guitar/acoustic bass setup that reminds me of a much more profane, filthy Violent Femmes (and I mean that in the best way possible, of course). Praxis was, at this recording, a supergroup consisting of Bill Laswell, Buckethead, John Zorn, Bootsy Collins, Yamatsuka Eye, and god knows who else, making hellacious clatter before settling into the creepy dub that Laswell and Zorn would master with Mick Harris in Pain Killer. Splodgenessabounds was a bizarre hanger-on in the London oi punk scene, but to my ears they have a kind of goofy vaudeville revue sound that seems totally out of place among the too-serious oi kids.

The guy from Porno Porkchop has, you guessed it, a bandcamp.
Not much info on Disque 9's creepy collage, but you can find their album on Amazon, surprisingly.
And for the addendum this week, let's all clap hands and sing along to Metro City Ransom:
