Medium Medium - The Glitterhouse
October 1981
Medium Medium
The Glitterhouse
Genre: Funk Wave
2.75 out of 5
Highlights:
Hungry, So Angry
That lead off track is the nexus between Talking Heads and Red Hot Chili Peppers. It’s terrific and angsty and delicious.
And that should have been it. That song, remix it 5 times and put it out as a 10”. Because, after that it’s reply much tribal beat new wave funk with little to no purpose.
Find a rhythm, play it over and over and over and add some lyrics you scribbled in your poly sci class when you weren’t paying attention.
What? That’s how I wrote “I’m An Artist, You Don’t Believe Me? (I’ll Draw On Your Fucking Face)”.
If an exercise in post-punk funk fusion is your jam, this will give you 40 minutes of that. It won’t change your life. And you really don’t need anything more than that opening cut. It’s kind of weird how much “Mice and Monsters” call to mind Beastie Boys, tho.
