Being a DJ primarily involved with experimental music, I have
the opportunity to hear a lot of strange recordings. I’m not so full of
myself that I will say “I’ve heard it all,” but I will admit
that as I move forward, it gets more difficult to hear something new. Thankfully,
there are discs like the Little Ricky’s House of Chankletas release “27
New York Antisonnets,” that remind me of how incredibly weird music can
be.
In fact, “weird” is the best description I can come up with at the
moment. I can imagine this even being the guiding principle– “Hey
guys? Let’s make a disc that is just completely WEIRD, okay?” Seriously,
I doubt it was anywhere near this simple– the worthless results of self-consciously
weird musicians litter the experimental landscape. No, Little Ricky’s
is more than just weird; they’re marvelously original, seriously talented,
and delightfully comic to boot.

Little Ricky's House of Chankletas tore the roof off of the proverbial "sucka" with a blistering and hilarious set, merging Lightning Bolt-styled noise, Stefan's operatic vocals, Yuletide cheer, a little Super Mario, and banana clad, uh, guys. I suggest adding witnessing a live LRHC set to the list of things you need to do before you die.
