Wax on wax off
fujiya + miyagi - cassettesingle (mp3)
(thank god for job club computer classes or this would’ve been a very quiet week on the beef blog)
unfortunately i can’t post either of the 2 new tracks from this week’s new 7″ from the krautrock inflected punk-funk (or is that punk-funk inflected krautrock) beef blog poster-boys fujiya + miyagi […]
Outer space woman…
la belle epoque - miss broadway (mp3)
herman’s rocket - space woman (mp3)
picked up ‘miss hollywood’ earlier today from my local cancer research boutique. my la belle epoque knowledge is pretty minimal - it means ‘the beautiful era’ in french - but any sleeve that has the words ‘discoteca’ on the front will always […]
He flutes, he scores…
pierre dalmon - jungle melody (mp3)
due to a severe lack of activity over the last few days, i thought i had better rectify this with a quick track…
‘jungle melody’ is a smooth jazz flute tune courtesy of your main man pierre dalmon. appearing on his self titled lp from 1977, monsieur dalmon calls in pierre-alain […]
What the bleep?
nonostar - day follows night (mp3)
mixing a few of our current loves - balearic and bleeps - here’s something from the on-form and on-fire earsugar jukebox seven inch collection. this is some chillin-out-maxin-relaxin-all-cool german electronica from nonostar, invoking the spirit of dabrye or a re-imagining of a lost track from portishead’s ‘dummy’.
the earsugar jukebox top […]
Moonboots & balearic mike - sat 7th july…
Come one, come all…
The funk soledad brother
brian olive - seeme mariona (mp3)
a blast from the past, from the sounds of tomorrow - this comes off like pop levi with amy winehouse’s backing band, releasing a nuggets homage on behalf of the chicago transit authority … ex-greenhornes guitarist and current soledad brother, this is brian rocking out on a recent killer […]
French kissin’ in the bff
rob - de la musique (mp3)
rob - power glove (mp3)
in general people seem to enjoy giving the french a hard time. okay, so they’re not particularly good when it comes to wars and whatnot but, whilst they may be happy to put up with occupying forces, they would never put up with bad food, bad […]
You make me feel so alive…
the micronauts - the jag (mp3)
on inspection of the fantastic cosmic disco website, i came across a fairly recent interview with mr monier of the micronauts. (actually, thinking about it, maybe ‘the micronaut’ is a little more apt, especially since george issakidis departed back in 2000. anyway, that’s a mere technicality, and no one […]
It’s crystal clear…
spacepimp - k9-law (mp3)
doctor rockit - tape measure (mp3)
jedi knights - may the funk be with you (mp3)
clatterbox - montis (mp3)
after digging out those nova nova tracks yesterday, i was overcome by a sudden bout of nostalgia. so, as a wave of inspiration hit me, i decided to look that little […]
Group hug - bjã¶rk
We’re quite proud of the many strings to our muscial bow here at bff, what with those horses for courses decreeing that we can all have different things we love. but once in a while, the stars align and we can all agree one something that is unarguably brilliant. this is where our new, and […]
I still haven’t heard them all but big ups for ‘la...
