the dishwasher got swing... (not the washing machine, martin)

"what? you can't be serious?!"
"yeah, and then he kinda shambled on like this..."
"shambled?"
"exactly."
"oh."

so i was listening to the dishwasher the other night (not my dishwasher, i don't have one - the main reason being that dave [still not my cat] insists they're bad for the general feng shui of my place), and i have to admit it was one of the coolest dish washers i've ever heard...

its a lot cooler than that dishwasher the eastender's writer's had martin dancing to when he was hiding out, off his box, in the laundrette sometime way back in y2k...

personally i reckon they missed a trick, i reckon they should've put martin in joe absolom's tin-foil covered room for his own shiny uber-disco experience... but i may be getting confused with time.

let's face it though, washing machines are only really good for percussive sounds... you can get some lovely bangs and booms out of a washing machine that'll nicely compliment any sampled 'kitchen drum kit'... but the noise they make in operation (as it were) is uhm,... much less good.

but this dishwasher... it was proper jazzy. it was layin' down a lovely bit with just a slice of swing... we're talkin' proper groovy... took less than a minute to get me humming a bass line over the top of it, and swingin' my hips...

i was dancing better than martin (scienceFAKT)

got me thinkin' though...

if different brands make different noises, and should i ever be in a position to buy a dishwasher...

will the people in the shop let me load them all up and set them off to establish which one has the best groove?!? i'm thinkin' now that i have heard the swing-jazz-no-washer i'd be proper pissed if ended up with the techno-viking of the dishwasher world...

would it be wrong if you ended up buying the worlds least efficient appliance (in some real cack colour) because it played a better song?

and while we're on the subject, does anybody know of a hoover that's in a more musical key than the 'one-wheeled-"the-boss"' that lurks in my cupboard?!
