Gillesy P talking to Four Tet about his career and playing key tracks for two hours?
I'm there with bells on.
This is an excellent retrospective of Kieran Hebden's winding musical path, with loads of insights and info. It also serves as a fantastic introduction to one of the consistently great producers of the last 10-15 years.
One of the many things I learned of was his connection to J Dilla and how this remix came about (about 58 mins in) ...
I've been listening to Football Weekly (and Football Weekly Extraaaaaaaa) from The Guardian for years, pretty much from it starting in 2006.
Yet I believe Tuesday's special edition (moved back from Monday to accommodate Leicester City's Premier League title) was the first time Devo have been mentioned on the podcast (about 22 minutes in).
My only question is around the use of QR codes. I see and understand their purpose, I like the look of them (naturally) but how many people actually use them?
Wikipedia says they're being used on everything from headstones to coins but as QR readers don't seem to come as standard on a lot of phones, or they're not obvious to the user if they're on there already, how many people go out of their way to use QR codes? Especially when we can all type a URL pretty quick?
There's still a lot of work to be done bridging the offline and online worlds, but well done Mermaid Quay for an innovative use of space, and doing some that integrates music as a fun activity in Cardiff Bay.
And thanks for putting Kim Wilde's best song on your music wall...
A Llantwit Major-based music blog for things post-punk, electronic and a little bit left of centre, with second-hand cultural musings, third-rate sociological stabbings and very rarely the odd mp3.
I also write the odd album review for Buzz Magazine and used to present Amser Electroneg on Bro Radio.
