Who is
Aleister X and when is his debut CD ever going to come out? His hybrid mash-up of
Stiff Records-era
Wreckless Eric,
Ian Dury and the sloppy/slappy disco of
Captain Sensible is a 4/4 rock 'n' roll rave-up and a New Wave pogo party at the same time, all the while never removing some of the most ghostly pancake make-up ever affixed to a face. (Bonus points for the couplet,
"That friend of Pete's is a fucking twit/That creepy cunt tosser is a real tom tit.") You'd think being linked with
Andrew WK would have given him a dozen hits three times over but, so far as I can tell, nothing is yet available for purchase. Join me, then, as I offer these ultra-lo-fi rough-mix downloads of a few of the better tracks at
his MySpace page:
Tom Tit,
Bangers 'n' Beans and
On Yr Todd. Something tells my gut I will be forced to remove all of them within a few days time, so grab them before Aleister kicks my butt for posting them. I don't mind telling you I'm afraid of what a guy who dresses like
The Baseball Furies might do to me.
[Update: Aleister X now has all of his
should-be-hits on iTunes, all of them waiting for you to take them home and make them your own.]

This is some seriously righteous shit. I'm on the X.
His stuff is great, isn't it? So why isn't this guy already bigger than canned ham? I predict, when his album eventually comes out, bloggers like me will be all over that shit (the music-buying public, not so much).
well, not to toot my own horn, but i'm considering myself a member of the music buying public, and i'm already a fan and "all over that shit", as you put it. SWEET!
I Like.
Mike H.--I like that you like.
Love this. Thanks for introducing me to Aleister x. Any idea where we could find more info about possible releases? All I've seen is a mixtape called DAMN.
Sorry to be a music tease, but I have no more information about him than the links I provided. My assumption is that he's going to be releasing something in the near future, and when he does, I'll be posting it all to hell, believe me. I think his whole act--his sound, his look, everything--is very cool.
JUST FOUND THIS!!!!!!!!
aleister x interview
ALEISTER X SPEAKS
I located the above Aleister X link on Google. It's AX being interviewed here by London magazine Disappear Here. A lot of interesting details revealed, but I now have even more questions.
If that Aleister X stuff doesn't come out soon, I'm going to hold my breath in protest. Starting right...NOW!
Awesome, thanks for this post. Aleister X is such burnt, damaged goodness!
