I'm not a man i'm a machine
First thing's first... I need a job. Before I commit myself to further years being an uninspired salaryman, I thought it was probably worth sticking out a plea for employment here.
I have many skills doing many things. But what i'd really like is to use my ears on a daily basis. And preferably at least some of my brain also. Please apply within.
So then.
Blamma! Blamma! WANK!
Hot in the headphonesex inbox is a remix of Maximo Park's SIZZLING! 'Our Velocity' by cockney rebels Blamma! Blamma! Do you like glitchy SebastiAn style electro, and would you like to hear Paul Smith's voice pulled through a razor-laced mangle? Well in general i would answer yes to the former and no to the latter, however this is undeniably brilliant. Go on, deny it. I dare you. Ha! See! Brilliant.
MAXIMO PARK vs BLAMMA! BLAMMA! - TERMINAL VELOCITY
Last weekend I had the good fortune to DJ (albeit for an exhausing 5 hour marathon) at Reading's lovely Oakford Social Club, after which they myspaced me with this fantastic video. It's by Scroobius Pip and Dan Le Sac, and the track is called 'Thou Shalt Always Kill'. Music Like Dirt (as often happens) hit the nail on the head by comparing it to 'Losing my Edge', but it's far more endearing and engaging than that world-weary masterpiece.
The messianic beard, the ill-fitting suit, the hilarious lyrics, the cutting social commentary, the banging gameboy beats... is there anything not to adore about this T.U.N.E???
I was going to post the mp3, however I believe you will fall in love with this more by absorbing the video rather than the audio. And i'm here, I hope, to make you fall in love.
My favourite bit? The repeated 'Thou shalt not make repetitive generic music' whilst photocopying his face. This is a future classic.
Scroobius & Dan are playing at the Oakford this Sunday. If you're anywhere within commuting distance of Reading you may want to check 'em out. The live show sounds interesting to say the least, and if i'm not suffering too much of a hangover (i'm going to the first match at LateWembley tomorrow... which involves hitting the pub at 11am) I may well nip over.
More raw meat booming out of the hps soundsystem are a couple of new records from French re-edit kings D*I*R*T*Y Edits. Both are dangerously hot. The first, volume 6 in the re-edit series, features Pilooski and new kid on the block Krikor taking on The The and Q Lazarus. The second record - entitled 'Dirty Space Disco Vol. 1' - sees Joakim (yes, Joakim!) and Pilooski jazzing up JJ Cale and Yellow Power.
It's very hard to pick a track to post since they're all excellent, however the one that's got me hitting 'repeat' the most is the Joakim re-edit of JJ Cale. I know very little about JJ Cale or this song, however it seems to have received the re-edit treatment in the past. I originally though that JJ Cale was the Welsh fella from the Velvet Underground. However wikipedia has re-educated me.
I have also learnt that the original comes from this album
Joakim of course is the French wizard responsible for one of the year's best albums - 'Monsters & Silly Songs'.
When they got together, it was MURDER
JJ CALE - RIDE ME HIGH (JOAKIM EDIT)
For more Joakim could I recommend the Tim Goldsworthy mix of 'Lonely Hearts' at xxjfg?
Comic book hilarity comes from here
I heard the full version of D.A.N.C.E. by Justice on the wireless tonight.
Phwoar!!
