Wrathful deities – Moloch – Don Mudra’s suitably Germanic setting of that celebrated section of “Howl” kicks off our regular “Friday Round -Up” this week. Auf Deutsch and with pile driving relentless back-beat, it may be listened to here. Also on his site is a recording (sans beats, but with the requisite backing of Allen’s rhythmic Aboriginal songsticks) of “Put Down Yr Cigarette Rag”, a.k.a, “Don’t Smoke”, morphing nicely into Kurt Schwitters‘ classic avant garde (Dada–ist) composition, (the) “Ursonate”, (not to mention, recordings of the late, much lamented, Rolf Dieter Brinckmann – and even, Klaus Kinski) – all courtesy of SoundCloud
