| J-ME SMITH "Danghead" |
| Danghead | Nounsville CD The newest bunch of music from Colorado transplant J-Me Smith, Danghead is a wonderful psychedelic living room offering not entirely unlike his work as member of the Lords Of Howling or Granfaloon Bus-Somewhere between the Flaming Lips playing Souled American or vice-versa! Very damn cool! Cameo appearance by Kris Langan (Fibulator/GrndNtl Brnds) | 2000 Dang Headquarters |
| Best dang recording Nounsville by Dang Head Folk-grounded exuberance with startling elements of random noise might best describe Nounsville, the fifteen-song offering from Montana transplant J-ME Smith, aka Dang Head. Fans of musical deconstruction could argue that the ornery fella is merely skippin' down the junkyard path of poetic stray animals with a butterfly net -- and they'd be right. But the critters, duly nabbed (with the help of a few long-lost members from Questa, New Mexico's Lords of Howling), deserve a zoo of their own, and they get one on Smith's homegrown Discobolus imprint. It's an arresting batch of enjoyable songs, all right, strewn with dadaist humor, the occasional broken instrument and that unique mix of blessings and curses that can't help but glitter in the dust. - From the Best of Denver 2000- |

| Happenings: Right now the Dang Headquarters are in the process of moving. With some luck many of the old recordings will resurface and make their way out of obscurity. Lots of stuff is piled into the Dang Headquarters and it should all start to make it's way out of the nooks, crannies, cracks and crevices as things are moved out and into the new fancy, high-tech, covert location! Just for the record, there are about 4 Jamie Smith tape-only recordings. Maybe down the road we'll have some of these rarities for the collector but we'll let you know soon. Keep in touch and email Discobolus Web Operations at [email protected] for the an update on the skinny! |
