Shabba!

Finally it has returned. It's felt pretty lonely saying this out loud over the last ten years. But now it's back.

All together now... Shabba!



Bonus points for the appearances of Shabba Ranks and Snoop from The Wire in the video.

Todd Terje Essential Mix

On Friday night (well, it goes at 1:00am on Saturday 27th July 2013), Todd Terje is doing BBC Radio 1's Essential Mix.

Pretty sure I saw a C120 when I was tearing the flat apart looking for my Mario Kart 64 game cartridge last night. Now I just need to remember how I set the record timer on the Philips MC-200. Screw iPlayer, this should be a keeper.

And I'm still absolutely loving Inspector Norse (#3 on my Top 10 Things I Heard 2012).



Edit: It worked!

Bleeping Hopkins

I've been catching up on some of the Bleep podcasts this week and had to stop everything when they dropped Jon Hopkins' One Eye Signal during #80. Could seriously lose my shit if I heard this out... if I ever went out... and went to places that played buzzing building techno like this...

Hair Jack

Think I've found my favourite video of year in Jack by Breach...
