Bummer in the Summer
So i'm just back from catching the awesome Justice live show, and reeling a bit from 5 nights out on the trot. But i'm also feeling rather guilty about neglecting the blog whilst frugging away in various enclaves of London. So let's see if I can't knock something out before crashing for the night.
The latest thing that i'm going to be overly obsessed with for about two weeks, before doubtless never listening to again, is this new single by Scout Niblett. This, I must say, is mainly to do with the hilarious lyrics penned by David Shrigley, and taken from his 'Worried Noodles' book - a kind of concept album without music.
We've all been in Scout's position before... you're getting set for a big party at the weekend, but your Dinosaur Egg hasn't hatched; your robot slave is showing no signs of sentience, and the entertainment (a tortured spirit) is nowhere to be found.
Bummer.

Incidentally the other two tracks on the single (Just do It & Just What I Needed) are extremely good also. You can & should listen to them on Scout's myspace.
I'm a massive fan of Shrigley's twisted brand of humour, and neglected to mention his first foray into 'music' last year - a primarily spoken word album called 'Forced to Speak With Others'.
Many of the tracks were compiled from the b-sides of those 'Late Night Tales' 7"s - backing tracks by Flaming Lips; Belle & Sebastian; Four Tet & Nouvelle Vague (I think). And i've posted what's probably the best track, 'Don'ts' already. However with festival season upon us, the relentlessly cheerful 'Rock Festival' seems appropriate....

Unique 3's bleep anthem 'The Theme' was a huge influence on early Warp records, and thankfully out of a new batch of remixes one was coaxed out of Autechre. Warp's bleep sound had largely come to an end by the time Autechre released their first record for the label, however they have clearly remade this with a great deal of affection for the original.
It starts off reasonably faithfully, before morphing into some low down analogue acid. As the track evolves the bass takes over and emits some terrifying frequencies that I can only assume would be emptying bowels if played over a system with a bit more guts than mine.
The best thing Autechre have done for years....
UNIQUE 3 - THE THEME (AUTECHRE REMIX)
Luckily I ordered my copy on Friday, but there are only 500 & it seems to be sold out on Boomkat already. Good luck finding one!
Right that's yer lot for now. I need sleeeeeeeeeeeep.......
