I will never forgive you for saying that.

There's no excuse for liking a Mark Ronson song...

Whatever, Beefcake.

New radiohead album.

A bit lovely.

Curiosity · **Posted:** Sun Mar 20, 2011 22:57

Just listening to some old 'Green' and 'Document' era REM.

Darn tootin' they were quite a fine band.

'Pop Song 89', 'Turn You Inside-Out', 'Finest Worksong', 'The One I Love'.

Aaaaah, memories...

download this for free.

It's remixes of lots of different stuff.

Feed the animals is also very good.

I was listening to Marc Riley's show the other day and he had The Phantom Band in session. Never even heard of them before but they're fucking brilliant, Checkmate Savage is an amazing album.

One huge downside of working for the NHS is that you are never more than a few feet away from housewives talking about absolute shit.

Thankfully I have my iPod with me and am listening to the sadly-missed Luscious Jackson and I think that might be the reason why the sun is shining today.

I was sent that in 2008, but never listened to it. I kept telling myself I should, but then disobeyed myself.

Listen to it. It's my favourite new thing I've heard in ages. So much so that I was moved to actually buy it with cash money.

Zardoz · **Posted:** Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:55

I meant to check it out last night but was too busy.

Blucey · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 1818

Everything Everything's new single is the best thing on the album. An amazing album made by freakishly talented bastards.

What a peculiarly interesting band. That song is probably the least strange on the album, too. Cheers!

Curiosity · **Posted:** Wed May 11, 2011 11:33

Which 'Everything Everything' video is it? I love that band. Really great album.

'Photoshop Handsome' was my favourite song of last year.

Blucey · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 1818

it's Final Form which is one of the darker tracks on the album.

Curiosity · **Posted:** Wed May 11, 2011 11:36

Ah yes. I seem to recall it involves a box or a package or something, as well as them singing. Vague memories from watching it a while back on Virgin Music On Demand.

Either way, great band, and you can pick up the album off Amazon for about 4 quid. Well worth it.

DUBSTEP IS DEAD TO ME NOW

Dubstep was dead to me in 2008. /smugface

Bear or Bust · **Posted:** Sat May 14, 2011 14:42

Never ever liked dubstep, too slow, now Dubspeed that's pretty awesome.
Been listening to this free mixtape, Doormouse 100%Wisconsin Cheese thats also a free download from Addict Records, was expecting the usual Doormouse Breakcore but this is more miami bass style.

If dubstep's too slow there's always drumstep.

Dubstep eh?

Can't say I'm a fan. Apart from this because my mate made it and it's hilarious.

Bear or Bust · **Posted:** Mon May 23, 2011 16:15

That wasn't half bad, still a little annoying but very funny.

On a side note we picked up a Kenny Larkin album yesterday (Metaphor) and its probably the best techno, that I've heard, in a while.

Bear or Bust · **Posted:** Thu May 26, 2011 18:03

I don't know if anyone will like this, its more of a can I do this and get away with this in Goldwave than anything.

Massively slowed bassless dubstep. With a fuckton of effects added.

Original track, Skream Darkside Of Life, before we got our hands on it.

nickachu · **Posted:** Thu May 26, 2011 20:02

Hah one of the first things a guy at work said to me was "you're english, you must like dubstep"

I figured I'd look at the plays stats on my iTunes. Figured Propagandhi would do pretty well, but damn. Here's my top 50, for anyone curious/bored enough to look:

Hehe, yeah, got a stack of Horsepower Productions records from way back when (I even bought that B****n S***d record they remixed) and stuff by Ghost, Darqwan, Menta, and loads of that garage/breaks stuff that kinda turned into dubstep (before it went all half-speed). I wish it would make a comeback

Spent I while on YouTube last night watching some acid / old school vids/tunes and grinned immensely when I rediscovered this beauty.

Bear or Bust · **Posted:** Sat May 28, 2011 16:47

Theres a weird coincidence I'm listening to some Kerrier District (Luke Viberts disco offshoot for the uninitiated, here).
Its worth checking out his albums on Planet Mu and especially his Ace Of Clubs offshoot if you love yer acid (I know I do).

Saw DJ Shadow last night. Well worth seeing even if my love of his recordings has tailed off a bit over the years.

Hard to describe but he's basically in a giant ball with two projectors onto it, which creates some pretty amazing visual effects such as a baseball being hit into space. Still absolutely amazing on the turntables/drums too.

This video completely fails to do the spectacle justice but the best i could see...

Zardoz · **Posted:** Fri Jun 24, 2011 9:18

Saw him back in my Uni days at the Cockpit in Leeds. Awesome indeed. He's on at Glastonbury too this year.

Zardoz · **Posted:** Fri Jun 24, 2011 9:22

I saw LFO there too. I never heard them as they're gear wouldn't work though. That was a shit night.

Yeah, i think this was a warm up for that to check the gear worked. If they show it on TV as part of the Glastonbury coverage it will be worth a watch.

It's going to be awesome to see this finished, but right now I'm enjoying seeing it as it comes.

The animated covers in the Introversy mix are incredible, all 420 of them.

Here's their explanation of what they're up to

That's been my favourite so far. Seen the last 5 minutes & the first 10 or so.

kalmar · **Posted:** Fri Jul 01, 2011 12:10

Just to reiterate - that is possibly the best thing in the world!

The animations are Python-esque. It's very cleverly done, the transitions usually take place on both image and sound, it's quite surprising.
I was laughing at quite a few of them. Won't bother to describe them, just watch

And the music! I am not a music-y person, but I recognised well over 90% of the clips here, and it's all excellent. Even recognised a few of the album covers.

Only downside to this sort of thing is that every few tracks there is one that you MUST HEAR NOW, but then the mix moves on. Still, at least you can identify them!

DO WANT. Go and watch it when you have an hour free.

After watching it through once, I keep dipping into it & every time I do I notice something new. Usually the sly wordplay.

I mentioned that they added a few more mixes on twitter a few days back, but this is the first I've had a chance to sit & check them out. The current mix, "Under The Covers Vol.1", has Sepultura's "Roots" complete with a heidbanging sleeve & that mixes into Teenage Kicks, then a bit of techno & somehow they still bang in the 'stones & some reggae in amongst it. In short it's what Soulwax/2manydj's do best & I love it :DD

EDIT: I'm kinda gutted that they never mixed in the Who with Nirvana & had Keith Moon crashing a Cadillac into the pool (You'll know what I mean when you see it).
