9 in 1 (39)

Super glitched image


Calling it on number 39 with this design process. The 39 steps. The same image glitched and glitched again. It might have been more interesting if I could find the original image to compare and contrast. But there we are.

So, something new for the next list. It'll still be glitched and based on an image nabbed from Wikimedia Commons though. So not that new. But a change of sorts.

But for now, there's the image and here's a playlist of things I've enjoyed recently...

Herbie Hancock - I Thought It Was You

You can hear where Daft Punk got it from, can't you? Robolovin' goodness.


Hudson Mohawke - Escape

Talking of Daft Punk-y vibes this came up on shuffle on the short drive back from the beach this week. Turns out it's basically John Carpenter's Escape from New York theme with a few tweaks. Still good though. Escape is on the 2015 edition of LuckyMe's free Advent series. Gotta see if they're still doing those (edit - looks like it ended in 2018). And where I can watch Escape from New York. Love Kurt Russell.


Aphex Twin - Hexagon

One of the advantages of shuffle is hearing stuff with fresher ears. I usually zone out by disc two of Selected Ambient Works 2, and definitely by the time #19 (Hexagon) comes on. But up it came as I walked through the car park to the library last week and it caught me. Lovely stuff. 

Still, it's another reason not to stretch to the £40 they're asking for the cassette re-release of SAW II.


Louis Culture - Babe ft. Tora-i, Richie

Time for something from this year, here's some laidback... r'n'b? Only uploaded 10 days ago, it's got a way too low play count for something this good. Kind of a shame this didn't come out in the height of summer, the vibes are on point for hazy sunny days.


Laurie Anderson - Let X=X

Laurie Anderson doing Laurie Anderson things. I vaguely recall buying Big Science from a stall in Camden Market about 20 years but lord knows where that's gone in all the house moves since.


Ovlov - Grab It From the Garden

Switch hit now, I've always had a soft spot for this kind of shoegaze-y post-rock. I don't even know if that's the right term for this distortion-heavy guitar sound, but come autumn, it fits.


Stereolab - Come And Play In The Milky Night

Another list, another Stereolab track. God, this band are good, so annoyed it took me so long to get hooked.


Little Simz - 101 FM

Best ever UK MC? Does it matter? And where's that sample from? Is it Mortal Kombat? Or am I just thinking that as she mentions it in the track? Am I asking too many questions? Absolute bumper? Yeah?


Kneecap - Parful

Should've known this was a Toddla T production. Another bumper to finish.

Byeeeeee.
