Don't be a miserly loser; buy stuff from bands you like.
Don't know too much background at all about this Russian band, except that I think they share members with the previously posted USSSY / Kruzer Ken and maybe also WJW.
Anyway, on this (2002) album, Foojitsu were playing some kind of noise rock/hard-core/electronic admixture (later releases are more or less straight up noise rock), long on eclectic, short songs, blasts of guitar noise, electronic effects & spoken world samples. Mostly on the noisier side of things despite the somewhat poppy tune below.
Pretty busy and no special recent enthusiasms to put up so here's a miscellaneous post of stuff I'd upped and forgotten to, or decided not to post, or upped for somebody, etc...

Some more oddities from Finland:
Short drones & noise experiments from the NWOFHM :
DHR released (but nonetheless slow) german 'rap'/noisy electronics from '99. Weird fractured rhythms and odd FX (and surprisingly anticipatory of later grime stuff). Grew on me:
Mostly instrumental post-noise rock agitation from Russia; Appealingly spare, frantic and occasionally rather catchy. Songs range from the short and sweet (below) to extended feedback drones. Related bands include I Am Above on the Left & Kruzer Ken.
Let's party like it's 2003, and the plurality of morons whose votes run this country is still consumed with fear of brown men with Korans, bombs & secret powders instead of health care reform and whatever the fuck they think socialism is.
Hidden in Buildings married airy post-rock with ninties era Dj-shadow type spaced-out break-beats and extensive samples relating to the great war on terror etc. Morose but appealing stuff, interesting beyond the musical content for its attempt to take a snapshot of a somewhat insane moment in a culture running on pants-pissing fear and ignorant rage which most people would now rather forget all about.
Dissipated Israeli lo-fi garage/punk/rock from the same label as the somewhat similarly raw and echoey Los Kikes. An excellent shambling mess of fuck-off lyrics, lurching guitars and drug retard vocals. I didn't really like this at first but a few listens convinced me of its weird charm.
Going Down was released in 2006, and was the band's first full-length after 2 eps.
They split in 2007.
note: (I couldn't tag the songs which have Hebrew titles, but the titles are in the scans which are in the .rar - there are lyrics too, but I didn't feel like scanning everything so if you need to know then purchase here)
And here are one and a half excellent 7-inches from ORdER, of Japan's Aichi-ken. Their recently re-released full-length is solid, but their singles and splits my favorites. Space Junk from the Warhead (whose song is also good) split is an overdriven romp, while the Sex 7"'s songs are hookier, less distorted and include a slammin' Japanese language version of 'Stepping Stone'.
