Drum 'n' tape

"This is peak hipster. And i'm here for it."

I couldn't put it any better - Cassette-Only Drum & Bass Set by BOP | Live at SK1 Records.

I've got nothing.

SOPHIE - Is It Cold In The Water?

This week, I finally finished Songs In The Key of MP3: The New Icons of the Internet Age by Liam Inscoe-Jones, while sitting in the Hotel Le Plaza Brussels. It was the final kick over the line I needed to get Oil of Every Pearl's Un-Insides. Long overdue. Had a bit of a moment listening to Is It Cold In The Water? Goosebumps.

Looping back, it may sound like I was a little negative on Songs In The Key of MP3, but it's well worth a read. It's good, it just starts with the sections on Dev Haynes and FKA Twigs, who I'm not really into, before cracking on with Oneohtrix Point Never, Earl Sweatshirt (more on him later), and SOPHIE, so slow start before I ripped through it like.

M83 - Run Into Flowers (Midnight Fuck Remix by Jackson)

Richard Sen dropped this recently on his Do!! You!!! show, and I'd not heard it in years. Not since 2009, when I first posted about it, probs. And it's not Jackson as in Trevor Jackson, but Jackson and His Computerband Jackson.

Suzi Quatro - Warm Leatherette

Well, there's a cover I wasn't expecting. Not sure what's more surprising, covering The Normal or this being Suzi Quatro's second appearance on this blog.

XTC - Making Plans For Nigel

I try not to repeat songs in these lists, but I'll make an exception here because:

1. It's been a few years
2. It's a great song
3. It sounded great when it was covered by a band at a recent beer festival down The Old Swan
4. It's my blog, and I can do what I want

The Stranglers - All Roads Lead to Rome

Deadpan weirdo synth-pop from 1982, inject it. Was very surprised to learn it was The Stranglers when Flo played it on her NTS Breakfast show the other day.

Bran Van 3000 - Drinking in L.A.

Another Flo banger, think it was a request at the end of the Wednesday show. Ah man, what a vibe. Rolling Rocks all round.

Earl Sweatshirt - 2010

As mentioned earlier, there's a whole section on Earl Sweatshirt in Songs In The Key of MP3, and this addictive little nugget is picked out. That loop is something else.

Flying Lotus - Never Catch Me (feat. Kendrick Lamar)

Just a straight-up banger that is somehow over 10 years old.

Rufige Kru - Goldikus (feat. Cleveland Watkiss)

New Goldie sounding like old Goldie. Yes mate.

Bok Bok - FADEMIX003

Just how many posts can I get out of that old USB stick I found in April? Content is content is content.

Next up is Bok Bok's FADEMIX003 from March 2013.

FadetoMind · FADEMIX003 - BOK BOK

Is this deconstructed club? Industrial grime? UK Bass? I dunno, pal, but it sure does bang.
