You could have been a goalkeeper.
Christ, what an ordeal Switzerland vs Ukraine was. Even the penalty shoot-out was boring.
It made me feel rather like this in fact:
Hopefully this might help you recover from that dreadful match. It's a new remix by Alan Braxe. Yay!
It starts out like some kind of German trance record from 10 years ago (think: Eye Q; Sven Vath; Platypus; 2 Full Moons & a Trout) and then segues into some massively distorted synths sounding rather reminiscent of Vitalic - with a radio-friendly vocal over the top. Braxe really does have that popular touch, and if it wasn't for all the distortion you could imagine this hitting Top of the Pops. Thankfully, however, it remains just fucked up enough that you can enjoy it without alcopops, a Hackett shirt and a scrap outside the kebab shop.
Well the Vitalic comparisons are apt, since it turns out that the record is released on Vitalic's own label - Citizen Records. Perhaps Pascal leant his chums some machines or something?
JOHN LORD FONDA - SO FAR AWAY (ALAN BRAXE REMIX)
You can hear the original version on John Lord Fonda's myspace page. It sounds even more Vitalic-like than this remix. So go check it out.
I've just watched the first episode of Saxondale, the new series by Steve Coogan. It was pretty funny I thought. He does come across as part Alan Partridge, part Paul Calf - but as the characters develop I can see this turning into a good little series. Steve Coogan does have an incredible skill of bringing characters to life, and i'm already intrigued about what's gonna happen next in this. It's about time there was something funny on the telly.....
