Steve Lacy - Guide

Despite giving one of the dullest interviews I've ever heard on Benji B's show a few weeks back, this is mighty fine...

Spacey acid stuff yeah.


Floating Points - Coorabell 

B-side to LesAlpx, more driving heady techno mate.

Did you know that this month marks the 50th anniversary of man going to the Moon? Did you?


Radioactive Man - Goodnight Morton

Stunning ambient work from your man Keith Tenniswood...


Cerrone - Love In C Minor

Filthy disco from the French don, as sampled by The Avalanches...

Top line-up for Homeless World Cup


The Homeless World Cup kicks off today (Saturday 27th July 2019) in Bute Park. The first game is Wales v Denmark at 12.30pm, yet it's tomorrow at 7pm which is really catching my attention. That's when the music stage strikes up, with Euros Childs headlining... and it's free, all free!

The week's music schedule is...


More details on the entertainment, including the debate tent, can be found right here. There's also a load of band profiles, and the fixtures list is updated daily.

It's a good cause and it's free entry, so get on down there. The Homeless World Cup is in Cardiff from July 27th to August 3rd.

Blanck Mass Buzz


This month I had the pleasure of reviewing Blanck Mass's latest for Buzz Magazine...

BLANCK MASS
Animated Violence Mild (Sacred Bones)
****

Blanck Mass by name Blanck Mass by nature. Album number four from Benjamin John Power, one half of Fuck Buttons, is big, bombastic, and bizarre. Swaying between sounding like the soundtrack to a Chilean wonderkid’s goals and tricks YouTube compilation (House Vs. House), fight music on a MMORPG (Love Is a Parasite), and the kind of stuff that pumps out of a Cyberdog stall at Download (Death Drop), Animated Violence Mild is utterly bonkers. Fun though if Screamo-EDM-Goth-Trance is your bag. SE


Blanck Mass - Animated Violence Mild is out August 16th on Sacred Bones.

All 4 Amen


Plus One Loo decided to ditch Netflix a couple of months ago as we just weren't watching it. Don't worry we got it back in time for season three of Stranger Things. And they've got Neon Genesis Evangelion on there now, which is nice...

Anyway, during our Netflix-less days, I decided to go all-in on All 4 and I found some top stuff. None more so than my go-to Sunday morning chill TV that is Abandoned. Now stick with me, it's a show about a Canadian pro-skater called Rick McCrank who goes around weird abandoned places in North America. He talks to some local cranks and then has a... skateboard? Ride? Wheely time? I don't know what you call it.

I find it super relaxing and the cinematography is superb. Desolate malls, abandoned fishing villages, and poisoned lakes never looked so pretty.

The show's theme tune is Amen by Spacemen 3.


Get on it.

Pegging It


Yo, so this is a super quick post before it leaves the iPlayer. As I write, you've got till the early hours to watch episode one and then seven days to watch the second show of I Can Go For That: The Smooth World of Yacht Rock.

What's Yacht Rock? Well, it's a little contentious what gets thrown into this retrospective genre, none more so than Steely Dan with the below the line warriors on The Guardian. Best just to watch it while you can...

But if you're a little late then just enjoy Peg by Steely Dan and you'll be OK...


And I'm sure you know already but yep De La Soul leaned heavily on Peg for the brilliant Eye Know.

6 in 1 (Yet Again)


We've loving the list, I say we're loving the list...

Here's a few things I've been enjoying recently.

Trash Kit - Horizon


Highlife-flecked post-punk from a band with links to Electrelane. 100% approve. Bit gutted I missed out on reviewing the album for Buzz last month TBH.

J Majik - Hold You


Old skool jungalism in 2019. Yes yes yes.

LSDXOXO - Freakquency


More throwback vibes in this twisty house bumper from New York's LSDXOXO.

Kanye West feat. Rick Ross - Devil in a New Dress


He's insufferable but lord he's good.

Yellow Magic Orchestra - Firecracker


No way was this released in 1978 without the use of a wormhole.

Tyler, The Creator - Igor's Theme


Album of the year? Prolly. So many cuts so let's begin at the beginning.
