BLOOD ORANGE, MY TIGER MY TIMING plus KANYE & JAY-Z
July 29th, 2011 by admin
Ole Dev Haynes is a talented lad, well that’s the nice way of putting it, a musical skitzo is the other. Man he’s had more incarnations than Greece has had loans. Latest look is the BLOOD ORANGE one and based on its first outing (‘Sutphin Boulevard’) I’m really feeling it. MY TIGER MY TIMING are [...]

That’s One Very Expensive Swimming Pool!
July 28th, 2011 by admin
I am well up for the Olympics, indeed I got up earlier pretty much than I have ever got up in my life to try and get tickets (Beach Volleyball here I come! What dya mean my tickets are for the men?). But I have got to say £269MILLION POUNDS IS A F*&KING LOT [...]

THEME PARK, WITH U plus THE RAPTURE
July 26th, 2011 by admin
I love ‘Wax’ by THEME PARK, love it. Never heard of the band before, know jack about them, absolutely love the track. It’s a unique song with quite an affected, almost ‘Antony and The Johnsons’ style vocal (at times) which is close to being really annoying but I really like, most of all I’m adoring [...]

DJ SHADOW, TINARIWEN plus CHROMEO and HERCULES AND LOVE AFFAIR
July 22nd, 2011 by admin
DJ SHADOW’s new material is incredibly sick man/ blowing up real big/ destroying dancefloors etc I’ll let you choose your musical cliché of choice. Cliches aside the underlying sentiment is accurate, as new track ‘I’m Excited’ shows. On a slightly different tip, okay humongously different is a track called ‘Tenere Taqqim Tossam’ by TINARIWEN. Hard [...]

I love MRS Murdoch
July 21st, 2011 by admin
Hundreds of thousands are struggling for life in and around Somalia. Our whole economy is under threat with the financial shenanigans going on in and around the Eurozone. And what are we obsessed about? Voicemail. Life and death matters taking second place to some nosy parker antics by a few journalists. Not any old journos [...]

HEDONIACS, CEREBRAL BALLZY plus WRETCH 32
July 19th, 2011 by admin
‘Can’t Tie Me Down’ by HEDONIACS is an explosion of sound, the equivalent of the money shot, sonic brilliance all over your face. You may hate it marmite style, that just makes me love it more. Speaking of musical money shots CEREBRAL BALLZY’s ‘Cutting Class’ is equally as Punk-Gasmic. Intense, wild, ferocious guitar music that [...]

JILL SCOTT, SBTRKT plus TRICKY BRAND NU TOP THREE 16 07 11
July 16th, 2011 by admin
More than an element of the ‘dog-ate-it’ about my continual excuses but with internet not working and all what can I do? There is so little New Music on FM radio these days it’s all about getting out to gigs and listening online, at the moment I’m down to what I’m hearing out live, you’ll [...]

BRAND NU TOP THREE 09 07 11
July 9th, 2011 by admin
Sorry about the continued lameness, having loads of internet problems which is affecting both my ability to listen to bizarre internet radio stations in Fiji (where of course I find most of my New Music booty) and to post about that booty. Maybe my ISP’s been fiddle with by Murdoch and Co? I was feeling [...]
