Found this old note in a draw over the weekend:
It has somehow survived at least five house moves since being written in 2003. And I'm sad to report the Blackberry trial is no longer available, so let's lift our spirits with some early 00s "Tunes"...
Eberg - Plastic Lions
Glitchy winsome folktronica. Icelandic too. Big early-naughties vibe. 100% not a "Tune".
I found the first cLOUDDEAD album for a £1 once in Dig 'n' Delve in Falmouth. I wonder what happened to it? I mean if a scrap of paper can survive 17 years then surely a nerdy experimental hip hop CD on Big Dada can too? That doesn't really make sense, but then neither does cLOUDDEAD. Tune.
Tune. Obvs.
Tune. Obvs.
I got this down as (Output), so this must've come out on Trevor Jackson's label before the whole DFA thing then?
Googled it. Looks like it was a promo. Wait, Wiki says "Output Recordings also co-distributed releases from DFA Records in Europe."
'king Sherlock over here.
cLOUDDEAD - Dead Dogs Two (Boards Of Canada mix)

Jay-Z - 99 Problems
Tune. Obvs.
LCD Soundsystem - Yeah

SFP - Happy House (Peel 14th)
Nothing coming up for this. Looks like this list is from January 2003, so I found a tracklist for John Peel's show from the 14th of that month. Nothing. Lost like tears in rain :(
MIA - Galang
Tune. Obvs.
Iz & Diz - Mouth (Pépé Bradock Mix)
Here's the first one on this list I've already posted about, and not that long ago either. I did it get it slightly wrong it that previous post though. Mouth (Brad Peep's Remix For Friends) came out in 2002 rather than 2006 as I said. But the timeline holds! Anyway, Mouth is like proper amazing deep house music that is made up entirely of vocal samples.
Tune, scratch that, CHOON.
Diamond Desmond - ? (Session in Wales 15/1/03)
Yeah, I've got nothing again. But I do have 2 more on the back of the sheet!
Jimmy Edgar - No Static
This is much closer sounding to Prefuse 73 than I remember Jimmy Edgar being, but I get why I wrote this one down. Kinda glitchy boom happy hip hop kinda yeah? Whatevs, Tune.
Sex In Dallas - Everybody Deserves To Be Fucked
Genuinely don't think I've thought of the Kitty-Yo label in like 15 years. Cheap, trashy electro that still fucks. CHOON.
