Monday, April 16th, 2012Ben Lapps was in his mid-teens when this was made. There’s a few things I really like about it. The first is the way he hears the request, pauses, thinks about it, looks down at the guitar and kid of shrugs his shoulders and begins. The second is the fun he’s having, most guitar wankers [...]

Got two turntables and two iPhones? You’re a scratchin’ demon DJ!
Saturday, May 14th, 2011From the clever folks at Stanford: A novel method of digital scratching is presented as an alternative to currently available digital hardware interfaces and time-coded vinyl (TCV). Similar to TCV, the proposed method leverages existing analog turntables as a physical interface to manipulate the playback of digital audio. Share
TV On The Radio – Nine Types of Light
Wednesday, April 13th, 2011Andrew S says: “Not sure if you have seen this, but it struck me immediately as Poopworthy. TV on the Radio’s hour-long “film,” basically a music video of their new album in its entirety. Pretty f*cking cool.” From the blub: “Nine Types of Light is as much an album as it is a movie by [...]
Rusko new “single” shows two sides of one artist
Tuesday, April 5th, 2011Rusko’s new “single” arrived digitally today. While he has been in LA for almost two years now, some prominent members of the dubstep scene have been throwing no so well disguised darts at him, accusing him of foisting “brostep” on us. With this single’s A-side “Everyday”, he continues the move towards the summer festival and [...]

Saturday, January 15th, 2011In french, with subtitles. Hearteningly, one kid figures out turntableism right quick in a hurry… Share
A remarkable song deserves a remarkable video: Jamie Woon “Night Air” – Official vid.
Wednesday, November 24th, 2010Jamie Woon collaborated with Burial on parts of this record. One critic thinks that it is “late-night-bus soul”. That’s facile but true. Full LP due in 2011, looking forward to it. Share
The Streets coming back to life?
Wednesday, October 27th, 2010Mike Skinner, aka the Streets, has been very quiet for a year or more. Over the last month or so there have been stirrings from him. He released this song over a year ago and now there is a new video for it. This seems to confirm that the song will be on the new [...]

Robyn covers Bjork (with Bjork watching) and makes it work!
Monday, August 30th, 2010One of our all-time fave Bjork tracks. Here performed by Robyn, our new favourite pop diva, on Swedish TV. That takes balls. That’s Bjork herself watching, dressed in a christmas ornament of some kind. And what’s with the audience dressed in best bib and tucker? It’s because this is the Polar Music Prize presentation. This [...]
OT: The most disingenuous TV spot ever?
Sunday, August 22nd, 2010I saw this spot during the Fulham / Man U match on Fox Soccer Channel today. I think it ran next to the ubiquitous Katy Perry ProActive spot. Anyway, the point is that there are plenty of youth oriented ad buys on the English Premiere League on FSC. And we know that soccer is a [...]
Katy B “Katy on a Mission” prod. Benga
Thursday, August 19th, 2010I think that I should like a little more bass on this one. That’s rather odd, given that Benga is usually not at a loss for bass. There is certainly a suggestion of it, perhaps the plan is that later remixes will boost the bottom end. This track may be the biggest crossover UK Funky [...]
You can help fund a film about Graham Parker
Friday, July 23rd, 2010He is a diamond geezer. When I would ask him to sign records for me he was always simultaneously surly and gracious (two of my favourite things!). My signed copy of “Mercury Poisoning” on coloured vinyl is one of my greatest fetish objects. Kickstarter provides an easy and transparent way to fund projects. Projects ask [...]
Note to ourselves: Keep an open mind
Thursday, July 15th, 2010Over the years, I’ve had my issues with Beck (check that great tartan backgroud!) and quite a few more with NPR’s generally bourgeois coverage of music (unabashed Radiohead fanboi-ism), but now it’s time for a hat tip or two. Via the NPR All Songs Considered (sic) blog comes “Five Great Cover Songs From 2010 (So [...]

“Hold On” by Rusko w/ Amber Coffman gets official vid!
Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010Unlike the earlier vid for “Woo Boost”, this one pretty much straight ahead. Featuring our hero on the decks and standard pix of kids having a good time at a rave. Ho-hum, but still a reeeeaaallllyyyy good track from his new LP. Features Amber Coffman from Dirty Projectors. What really makes it for me is [...]
Official vid for Rusko “Woo Boost” – @MadDecent blows it again?
Wednesday, March 17th, 2010Mad Decent just posted this, the official vid for one of our favourite choons from the last 14 months, “Woo Boost” by Rusko: They are readying release of his first full length “O.M.G.” for May 2010 and this will be the first single. As is the norm these days (and especially at Mad Decent), there [...]
NSFW – New Massive Attack vid
Saturday, February 27th, 2010Massive Attack (feat. Hope Sandoval) “Paradise Circus”. The video is directed by Toby Dye and features Georgina Spelvin discussing her part in the notorious “Devil in Miss Jones”. Her remembrances and insights are intercut with scenes from the original film and the soundtrack is the MA song. The overall effect is fascinating, alternately haunting and [...]
People who died… NYT disses Lux Interior
Sunday, January 31st, 2010NYT has a good musical video necrology of 2009: But Lux Interior is missing. Wonder if the Grammys one will include him. Wonder how the Grammys one will match up with this one. I suspect that there will substantially more MJ in the Grammy one, what with his kids showing up and all. You’ll have [...]
