Mums Of Death

Pretty much everything about this rules. Apart from some over-zealous asterisking.

In case you're wondering Mumdance + Drums Of Death = Mums Of Death

Girl Talk Steppin' Out With Joe Jackson

I don't really need an excuse to post Joe Jackson's awesome Steppin' Out, a track that's somehow weirdly timeless yet indubitably 80s. I think it's that bassline. No it's definitely that bassline. And the xylophone. Can never have too much xylophone.

Anyway, Girl Talk - the bane of copyright lawyers everywhere - has included it in amongst the oooh thirty odd tracks he's used for his new minimix/track/sampling game Triple Double. Fun though it is I'd rather listen to Joe banging away on the ivories.

The Final Tron Post

As Tron: Legacy slides town the UK Box Office Chart, I solemnly vow, that this will be my final Tron related post.*

Electro producer Joakim goes back to the original film's score by electronic pioneer Wendy Carlos and chops and screws it in to 2Kwhatever.

A curio rather than a belter, but still worth a download.

GWTF:7.0 Adele & Jamie xx

Man of the moment Jamie xx performs an actual miracle.

He's made an Adele track not only listenable, but proper good. Melancholic and warm, it really has fuck all to do with dubstep instead it delves deep into trip-hop territory. In a good way.

XL have locked it down ahead of its release on Monday, so the video below will have to suffice.

On My Radio (And Buzzcocks)

I've noticed once again that while I purport to be a post-punk blog, it has been months since I posted anything in that field.

Well inspiration has come from The Identity Parade on last night's Never Mind The Buzzcocks, where Pauline Black from The Selecter appeared.

I'll take any excuse I can get to post the brilliant On My Radio. A stone-cold classic example of 2 Tone Ska.
