The Shock World Service is a 100 episode collection of painstakingly assembled audio collages of soundtracks, electronic oddness & spoken word.

Started in 2007 by Jon Averill as a way to further explore & expand musical horizons beyond the mainly dance floor-centric music he was playing at the time  &  as an antidote the cheapening of the mixtape format by the glut of .mp3 mixes online with no track listing, no artwork & no real attention to detail applied to them. 

"A provider of collage-heavy, loosely hauntological soundscapes" – Fact Mag

"One of the most enlightening and entertaining track lists we’ve ever been sent, nay of all time" – It's Nice That

Bresson wrote: "Make people diviners. Make them desire it." An audio diary and mixtape of Masha Tupitsyn’s quest for love, The Tarot Diaries consists of two parts and mines a personal 10 year archive of Tarot and astrological divination. Soundtrack, autobiography, and cartomancy, Tupitsyn turns to the stars and to the power of intimate dialogue for questions & predictions about belief, love, expectancy, loss, crisis-masculinity, and, above all, the role of fate and futurity in late capitalism. Part II of The Tarot Diaries features clips from various thinkers on love—Nina Simone, bell hooks, Jean-Luc Godard, Kathleen Hannah, Derek Jarman, Esther Perel, James Baldwin, Kathy Acker, the pastor Toure Roberts, Audre Lorde, and LA writer Johanna Hedva with her own Tarot love story. Musical cameos by Mooval, PJ Harvey, Blondes, Pete Rock and CL Smooth, Craft Spells, E.D.G.E, High Powdered Boys, Rufus Wainwright, The Carps, Thomas Newman’s Desperately Seeking Susan score, and Gwen Stefani.

An equivalent to dandyish big city weltschmertz, beat poetry, ingenious melody and haunting riffs and influenced by a.o. The Doors, Morphine, Captain Beefheart, Jethro Tull and Nick Cave. The result is an adventurous music that combines elements from jazz and the blues with the raw sound of punkrock. A unique flavor is added by the prominent feature of the flute (we haven’t come across a great band using this instrument since Jethro Tull in the seventies).

Solanas Cunts are a anarcha-feminist riot grrrl-band from Gothenburg, with influences of punk, grunge and hardcore who played together since the winter of 2012. 
Our driving force is our rage, and we do everything in the spirit of Valerie Solanas.


SOLANAS CUNTS MANIFESTO:

We are here to bring back Valerie.
We are here because we refuse to let our sister’s die as a result of  cis-men’s inferiority dick complex and greed for capital and monopoly of violence.
We are here for the battle and the music.
We are here to smash a patriarchal, racist, hetero-sexist fucking society and tear down every wall.
We are here to bring your hatred and unleash your fury.
We are here because we refuse to stay quiet,to incite and bash back.

We are here to smash homophobia
We are here to smash patriarchy
Long live the feminism
Long live the anarchy
