Best Foot Forward Hit Futuresonic
Manchester’s electronic music festival Futuresonic is coming to town this week, and as the theme this year is “The Social”, and networking butterflies that we are, we’ve been invited to a few shindigs to show off our musical prowess …
Beef 2.0 @ Common, Saturday 3rd May, 9pm-2am
For one night only the surprisingly good companion blog […]
When Your Body’s Telling You You’re Too Old To Party
Bon Iver - Re: Stacks (MP3)
Sam Amidon - Saro (MP3)
As I sit here in my jim-jams at half four in the afternoon I’m certainly feeling the consequences of the first proper night out dancing I’ve had in literally years (Best Foot Forward doesn’t count). It was a fine evening though and the only-just-realised-he’s-getting-old Kev and […]
And When The Lamb Opened The First Seal…
Aphrodite’s Child - The Four Horsemen (MP3)
I’ll continue the Vangelis love-in with this fine Friday-afternoon face-melter from Aphrodite’s Child’s 666, the album that split the band thus allowing Evangelos Odysseas Papathanassiou to become the Vangelis we know, and Demis Roussos to become a master weakener of many a mum’s knee.
This must be played a good […]
Me Listen, Me Looky, Me Lykke Li
Lykke Li - Breaking It Up (MP3)
Spent an enjoyable evening being enchanted by Swedish chanteuse Lykke Li as her tour hit the Republic of Mancunia last night, with ‘Breaking It Up’ being a particular highlight, delivering the strange vocals through a shiny megaphone. If someone would have told me a while ago that there was […]
I Am Vangelis, The Greek God Of Great Fucking Music…
Vangelis - Blade Runner Blues (MP3)
Vangelis - Rachel’s Song (MP3)
Vangelis - Blush Response (MP3)
There is not much more i can say about Vangelis’s Blade Runner score that hasn’t already been said by thousands of other blogs, music critics and fans. So I won’t (much)…
It’s amazing to think that this didn’t get an official release until […]
I Want You Each And All To Switch Your Tiny Mind On
Cornershop - Good Shit (MP3)
Gotta keep chipping away at that list, even if it takes 11 years. Now just don’t anyone even think about mentioning THAT remix: no song deserved that.
From Heart To Hate And Back Again
Letroset - Arcade Hater (MP3)
More house music, this time from Letroset’s Herz Aus Glas EP released in January on Glasgow’s Point. One label. Less fey indie-disco camp and more staccato synth stab techno than my last post, but just as good for getting your groove on to (or however you like to put it).
Don’t hate: […]
And Not Just Because I Heart Erlend Øye
Whitest Boy Alive - Golden Cage (Fred Falke Remix) (MP3)
Ohmygodohmygodohmygod… this is sooooooo good!
Rubicon co-making Frenchman Fred Falke remixes one of the best bits from the yet another can-this-man-do-no-wrong Erlend Øye project that is Whitest Boy Alive and IT’S EVEN BETTER THAN IN YOUR WILDEST DREAMS (I’m not sure that even putting it in capitals […]
Space Survivor…
Network feat. Rik DeLisle - Space Survivor (Instrumental) (MP3)
‘Space Survivor’ was released back in 1981 on the German label Hansa. Nestled away on the B side to ‘Walk On The Wild Side’ (a terrible cover of the Lou Reed classic), this is somewhat of a hidden gem (mid-tempo disco with a vocoder, space effects and […]
