One Minute Wanda’s tracks have been played several times on BBC RADIO 6 INTRODUCING’S FRESH ON THE NET and in a number of festivals and venues. TOM ROBINSON (BBC Radio 6) recently said of Wanda’s track ‘Classish’: ‘Not the oddest track you’ll hear all year but it’s pretty close… one minute 20 seconds of completely perverse weirdness‘.Work has also been featured numerous times on experimental netlabel CLASSWAR KARAOKE compilations. Wanda began her sonic sorties and making ‘outsider avant pop-beat messed up stuff’’ from the depths of South Yorkshire c.2007. Enjoy!

Tonight (Sunday 17 July 2011) the wonderful TOM ROBINSON played another JO PERSONA/ONE MINUTE WANDA track CLASSISH on his BBC Radio 6 show Introducing Fresh From the Net. Tom says it’s ‘Not the oddest track you’ll hear all year but it’s pretty close… one minute 20 seconds of completely perverse weirdness’
And if you want to sing along, here are the lyrics:
this is mataland killed and dead to me and over the road old neighbours who i don’t know in the working men’s club cry they are dead they don’t like me but i hold my head high and they clock me and they clock in their cards are primarked they drink but they don’t work any more in the dark and here are you with your all your co-op fair trade carrier bags all the baggage you can carry but you don’t live here any more you don’t make any sense to the assistants and you need their assistance but you don’t live here any more…
Here’s a collaboration recorded in Spain and UK with ANTHONY DONOVAN and JEAN MONTAG for experimental sound netlabel CLASSWAR KARAOKE 0013 survey entitled FARO H WIND H CHRIST MANWATCHER

lyrics
I thought you were just the ticket… then he told me the end would be fairly tough I knew I’d gone far enough every day I meet my maker he’s a bit of a faker a bit of a fakir Jesus forgive me I think that this might be blasphemy he said: ‘do what’s best for you’ so I said: ‘I’ll carry on watching: man, it’s such a blast for me even when it’s shocking’ (he was winding you up all along)
