Dickish is the loinchild of guitarist John Dickey and drummer Michael Pukish (get it?). An infrequent one-off collaboration born out of the Oakland, CA-based collective Immersion Composition Society, Dickish makes even the most outrageous buttrock bands seem rather prudish. Fucking King of the World is the perfect post-rawk anthem, assaulting rock and roll like a parasite and swallowing, ingesting and eating it’s host from the inside out all in the space of 1 1/2 minutes.
Nicholas Dobson is a super genius. But most people don't know it because his prolific compositions toil away in relative obscurity in basement studios, private screenings, and traded on mix tapes by those who's accomplishments are a bit more public. This track, Headache, is among my favorites because it demonstrates the power of recording a song on the fly and how the raw emotions captured on the first take simply cannot be reproduced or synthetically created by even the most advanced studio technology in pitch processing, overdubs and endless vocal comp trickery. By the end of the song you don't even care that you didn't understand the verses. it's the overall delivery that kills you dead.
Dobson is the co-founder of a renegade band of speed composers based in Oakland, CA known as the Immersion Composition Society. For more information, visit www.ics-hub.org

The murkiness of the production & background hissing I found to be really distracting from the lyrics and music. I can hear he's got the talent but better production values would make a world of difference. Thanks for the headsup!
