Dr Buckles Does It Again

Green Man kicked off on Thursday with A Best Of BUG show from Adam Buxton and amongst the guffaws and bad frizzles were some stunning videos and some bangers, the best of which was this stop-animation video for Delta Heavy's Get By.

Swag.

Hidden Pink

So Four Tet released an album yesterday? And where was my Amazon recommends thingy? Pah!

Romney Up The Wrong Way

I like Devo... and dogs.

Mansfield Mann's Earth Band

Somehow it's the start of the football season this weekend, which means it's time to come up with a name for my Fantasy Football team.

Appallingly they only allow you twenty characters, which means that my team cannot labour to mid-table mediocrity under the moniker of Mansfield Mann's Earth Band.


Ray Parlour-vous Anglais? was also denied.

[Right-click and "Download Document" for an mp3 of Blinded By The Light by Manfred Mann's Earth Band]

I settled with The Prodigy inspired Chamakh My Pitch Up. For shame Sam, for shame.

Nothing New

Earlier today, on the train back from Falmouth to Cardiff and as I struggled with comme il faut (8) and fiddle-faddle (8) on The Guardian quick crossword, I listened to a track by New Order that I had not heard before. Turns out it was a new song by Wild Nothing.


P.S. Correctly and nonsense.

Yesterday's Supernatural

I heard this weeks ago but turned it off.

It took a spitting DAB, an interesting interview and the space of a Sunday morning to change my mind.



Still think the album artwork is shit, mind.

VEL - OOO - DRRROME

Missing it yet?



P.S. Does anyone know if there's a handball club in Cardiff?

Shlohmo's Benji B Mix

Apt name.


Still not bored of this syrupy bass sound. Another bangin' mix from Benji B's Radio 1 show, pretty much the only decent thing left on the station.

Liquourice

No reason.

Well OK there's many reasons.

One being - as has been pointed out elsewhere, well by Jonny anyway - is that it sounds a bit like Aphex Twin's Pulsewidth.

Another is that it's a fucking tune.

4AD Widget

You know the score. Supply an email address and get six MP3s, including a fantastic David Byrne and St. Vincent collaboration, Ariel Pink sounding a bit like The Byrds and the ubiquitous Genesis by Grimes.

Paprikyeah

Remember when I posted MP3s? Anyway I watched Paprika recently and while it was visually stunning, Susumu Hirasawa's soundtrack should not go without mention, especially the parade music.


That doesn't really do it justice, here's a snippet in context

Just A Little Agein'

It was my birthday this week and I regressed. Dug out a couple of old MUZIK mixes, DFA's Disco Punk and Erol Alkan's One Louder, both from 2003. 2003! I was horrified but then I danced and didn't care.

Another thing from 2003 popped into my head as I was going to bed, out of nowhere came Ifrane's Just A Little Lovin', a Sarah Vaughan sampling broken beat belter that Gilles Peterson used to hammer on his midweek Radio 1 show.

I'm getting old but I don't care.
