After All Recovery

Well done to Geoff McQueen, who won t-shirts beyond his wildest dreams in my competition. Hurrah!

I've just been hit by this in my inbox & feel it's worth sharing... a remix of 'Windowlicker' incorporating cut-up dialog from the video. I'm not usually into all that cut-up hip hop stuff, but probably because of the high quality ingredients, this is hot.

APHEX TWIN - WINDOWLICKER (MAC 3000 REMIX)

I'm also thrilling to the Depeche Mode-isms of this Midnight Juggernauts remix of Cut Copy. It's a bit of a sensory assault, with some pretty crazy
Moby-style arpeggios & an insistent twanging bass. Good stuff!

CUT COPY - HEARTS ON FIRE (MIDNIGHT JUGGERNAUTS REMIX)

That's all for now... i'm off out. Before I do, check this Pivot video... an entertaining remix of Jaws!

Fly me Away

I will get round to a proper post eventually, but in the meanwhile I have some clothes & shit to give away. I will never be well dressed but you could be.

So I have a £100 clothing voucher from fly53 (a fashionable clothing label i'm told) available if you can email me an answer to the following question:
  • How can flying be made less rubbish?
Personally i'd like a silver space suit & a cosmic disco soundtrack... but let me know your ideas & i'll pass them on to BA customer services. Closing date is about 10pm ish tomorrow (Tuesday).

This competition is kind of to promote the Stag & Dagger festival, which happens in Shoreditch on Thursday & which looks pretty awesome. Quiet Village, Das Pop, Diplo, SebastiAn, The Shoes, Pivot, Jimmy Edgar & loads of other good music for only £14.




In case you'd like something to astonish you, here's the latest wall animation by Italian artist Blu.



He's one of the artists being let loose on the front of Tate Modern at the moment. Seems that Nunca has already got things started though:

A Bit Late

This is tomorrow. Should be good...
