Naomi Bedford featuring Justin Currie "My Love Is Deep"

Are you kidding me? How can it be? This is a great piece, painting with textures and moving into many nook and cranny, you just have to love this.....

Velvet Underground-Venus In Furs [original take]

While the Moon did what it did tonight, up in the sky we could clearly see two other bright stars. The lower on being Venus. Reminded me of this song......

Jansky Noise - Escaping Earth (Alpha Centauri Orbit Edit)

We were recently bombarded by a massive Solar Storm, one of the strongest in many years. As a result many amazing times lapse films have been released recording the Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights in splendor. The footage here, is from Nasa, it was recorded before these recent Solar Storms, during this Nasa footage we can enjoy time lapsed magnificence of the Aurora Borealis and much more! The Music on the original version of this film was light years away from this re-score which comes charged (I think), with a magnitude and illumination, much more appropriate for orbiting in space. My edit as you hear here, typically picked up some radioactive particles and interference. Look, listen and imagine yourself, when our beautiful planet is exhausted escaping to another planet like Alpha Centauri! More wonder soon, JN.

Akio Suzuki on Walthamstowe Marshes 1.

A memorizing and beautiful piece of work both from performer and producer, I love the place, the stage the light, aesthetic and of without doubt the performance.

Amorphous Androgynous (Future Sound Of London) - Mountain Goat

Almost a year to the day, I mailed this to someone, special. When I first heard this over 1o years ago, it was loaded with depth and as open as the sea. It´s nice to know it still is!!

Perfume Genius - No tear

Another one from the album titled Put Your Back N 2 It. Good to see this one has had 200 views, not many today, but let´s see where it is in a year! Some spellbinding songs from balladeer Mike Hadreas

All Waters - Perfume Genius

Some great ideas here from todays man in the spotlight, this track gives you an idea about what´s on the album but the real gem is the track titled Awol Marine. Currently not available via Spotify nor Youtube, but soon to appear on the Tube, as they always do. When it does check it, for that matter check the album...

Solex - Honkey Donkey

I remember the first time I heard about this lady, I just wanted to work with her straight away! Her early doodles were growths, which at the time I likened to those meanderings of my good friends at the time Stock Hausen, and Walkman or Vicky Bennet. The Solex stuff however had another tinge, quite brilliant and not British. I defiantly have some tracks on my hard drive which I prepared for Solex in order for us to collaborate, but we never got round to a full collaboration. Shame...

Tom Waits - "God's Away On Business"

Echaskech - On Your Mind

Really lush piece of electronica here from Echaskech, hitting the right chords, sailing off with plenty of life. You could cruise with this anytime, anyplace, anywhere. Turn it up, and glide...

【PV】あふりらんぽ 『ミラクルラッキーガールズ』 AFRICAMPO

These kidz really have not crossed my mind for the last 5 years, but it´s always good to remind ourselves about the brilliance of Osaka´s Afrirampo, this video for me is by far the best mutant psychedelic piece I have seen them do. Really stunning....

How to Prepare a Michelada one of the best long drinks in the World

Probably the greatest beer I have had in the the last year. I have done them all from Belgium, Germany, Holland, Canada, Pirate, Duval, wheat, dark and light, this one the Michelada blows your taste buds into orbit, if you get it right, or rather if your barman is from Mexico! Try it, I promise you the most explosive taste in your mouth since Fizzy Gum!

Julia Holter - Try To Make Yourself A Work Of Art

Love the title, love the sound, love where it takes you and I love what it asks us to do. Maybe I will do just that!!! Thanks Julia.. X

Aphex Twin - Dream Scape

We have the Ddamage crew in from Paris, it´s been about 8 years since I last saw them was nice to talk with them.....They play tomorrow at our club in Madrid El Perro, should be good. Old memorys have lead me down a path and one of the tracks I have arrived at now is this one!!!

Conlon Nancarrow, study no.11 for player piano

What a finale, really this one deserves a round of applause, simply inspired!

Jansky Noise - Slow Order V2, (Into The Light).

In this new video from Jansky Noise we are taken on a voyage into the light, during the visual dipslay, you are encouraged to think about mankind, standing on the step of the 21st Century, how or will we evolve? Go to the light see and question yourself.......

Cesaria Evora - Petit Pays

Just reading all the comments on Youtube about this song, lot´s of people from all over the world writing wonderful messages to Cesária Évora, who sadly just passed away. Recorded Music always with us and in our ears, minds, heart and soul for as long as we desire and live.X.

Don Quijote Marijuana and The Brujeria

Sometimes things just sit in odd places. Brujeria or Witchcraft rattled this one out sometime ago. It´s an oddity that just has to be heard. The melody is so early Acid House, so much, but then again it´s not, maybe that´s because it came from Mexico, clearly it´s and odd piece, but none the less, it´s impaled with attitude, stupidity and youth. These boys went on to do many a thing in Mexico under other alias, navigating mostly no the extreme metal front. Lyrically and visually stupid, Mexican New Beat, perhaps? A parody and joke, imagine Farley Jackmaster being a metal head and playing guitar and you may get close.... Sitting in a strange place having real stupid, smoke machine, metal acid house fun, coupled with story telling, Don Quijote, and drugs!! Class?

Nora Keyes - Look At You, You're Ugly (/w Lyrics)

Yes, I love Nora. She was over this side in Madrid a while back. It was a real pleasure to hang out with her and witness first hand what she does. I do have several photos from the event, perhaps one day, they will come from within the treasure chest and see light.

Modeselektor feat. Otto von Schirach "Evil Twin"

My mate Otto Von Schirach with Evil Twin have come up with a nice video here. Good to see the way they are just breaking down the visual basics and ripping things visually. Some great ideas here and the tune is not bad either!!!

Sombrero Giorgio Conte

Come on! Que lindo...

Billy Cotton & His Band - Friends And Neighbours ( 1954 )

Friends and neighbors! What happened to songs like these? I couldn't agree with this any more. Maybe then, I am the richest man in town!!!

The Blue Notes (McGregor-Moholo-Pukwana) - Funk Dem Dubu / To Erico (1987)

What more can I say?

3 Five (Butch Morris)

Jazz has driven the 20th century literally from one end to the other, and it has given birth to many offspring, reinventing itself time and again. No matter how many times it has changed, however, it has always been a medium for individual expression and collective interaction with it´s own characteristic spirit, which is swing, or rather the essence of swing. Born from the element of spontaneity, momentun combustion, ignition, propulsion ( a sense of continuity), interation, transmission and commuication this essence has been called the extra dimension. Butch Morris, gives us some of this here but what you really want to be checking is his Conduction 28, if you can. ARRRGh..

Sven Kacirek - Kayamba tuc tuc (lawrence edit) [pingipung]

No justice in this world. This song by Sven Kacirek - Kayamba Tuc Tuc (lawrence edit), is enchanting, sensitive and i´d even say from another world, yet here, it is with just 300 views on Youtube. Real shame no-one wants to know, and another jewel, another treasure, brought to you with pleasure!! ARRRGH.XXX

y

As I said earlier, love these videos which touch on so many things. Love the nature aspect and messaging that comes through. Real nice to see that video and music have reconnected and now both walk hand in hand, the imes of slapping one ontop of the other are melting away. Who ever this girl/band is, Joanna Lee or not, I think that i´d happily crown her alongside Kate Bush, were long overdue a new Bush! Little hope? X

9.20.19.13.5.723378

I have to thank the brilliant, team, brains and artists behind this wonderful little series of songs and videos. It seems like this batch posted by a yet to be confirmed group or artist, is doing very well and arousing zones which have not been tickled for sometime. I have to admit, the viral marketing and lack of info tactic, coupled with brilliant visuals, production songs and a mystery woman, really help push this to another level and polish it off, elevating it, beyond trees and up to the stars. Rumors are circulating that these videos posted on Youtube by - iamamiwhoami or rather I am? Am I? Who am I? Are coming from a certain Joanna Lee from Linköping Sweden. Sooner or later the mystery lady, Joanna or not, should come clean. In the meantime everyone wants to know Who am I? I suspect some serious planning, record label and producers are working here, but I hope it´s a duo or small team of brilliant minds making it, and not the other. What ever the outcome, they have done a marve

MEGA PARTY

Sometime you have to admit that things work, this video really mixs two elements and flips it all on it´s head. Rock it!!!

Bernard Bonnier - I can't sing

Nothing to not like here. Bernard Bonnier, it´s alright, it´s bonnie alright..Check the giggling chuckler groove. Bernard was on something here, it´s not so distant from a recent remix from Animal Macgregor for Rock Gods Fast Lady... I say it´s similar, in the sense of fun within. When listening, the song glistens down a toy town train lane, yes, memory's of a child's train set, clunked in my mind, but it´s not clear where this train song is or was going, all I know is, somewhere and no-where. Tonight the song above arrived at my station. Infant and fun acidic grunt funk or laugh acidical grunk pop. If your not into mini acidic rides, then you may well find this journey unimportant, but tonight, I enjoyed listening before I went to sleep..

Julianna Barwick "Vow"

The year starts with commitment, or at least some kind of resolution. I´d like to think I will make a vow. One vow which is making it´s way around my head, and has been for the last few months is this one here. Real nice to see Julianna Barwick is getting some recognition finally for her enchanting, delicate musical wonders!! X

My name is Zoom - Erica is 25!

I have seen alot of videos on Youtube but this is just so wrong!!

Luke "It's Your Birthday"

What an unbelievable track and video. Truly amazing how Luke and his crew managed to pull in so many people to make this video. The song is real poor, real bad, it´s amazing it has 150,000 plus views on Youtube. Real trash, but you have to see it to believe just how low things can go!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Jimi Hendrix - Happy birthday (rare)

Everybodys wishing me a Happy Birthday incluing Jimmy!!!

Johnny Kemp - Birthday suit (house mix)

Something went wrong, but I love this one, I am wishing myself a Happy Birthday with this, Its not even about Birthdays but the suit. Non English speakers may not know what the deal is with the Birthday suit, right now, I have mine on!! Love this wack, ACID!

Mamacita donde esta Santa Claus.

Andy Macgregor Allright Mamacita, I go sleep now!!! To all of you I know, respect. To all of you I love, I love you! To all of you I dont know, when we meet, more than a glass will be raised. I hope that all of you are enjoying your days, your downtime, your loved ones, music and life. Be sure that in the next 24hr. I will raise a glass for you!!! In the meantime, where is Santa?? OK Mamacita, voy a dormir! A todos ustedes me conocen, respetan. A todos ustedes que amo, ee amo! A todos ustedes, no conocer, cuando conocemos, más que un vaso se levantó. Espero que todos ustedes están disfrutando de sus días, el tiempo de inactividad, con los queridos, la música y la vida. Asegúrese de que en la próxima 24 horas. Voy a levantar una copa para usted! ARRGh... Entremedios, donde esta Santa____ x

How II House - Lift The Nation (Underground Nation Mix)

Yeh, fucking shit amount of named and not so much named, impersonators and supposed House DJ´s everywhere, crawling out of DJ booths in every crevis like viral termites, many of which seem to be people or DJ's playing ACID HOUSE, playing it then may be, but they dont know it, they never saw it, never lived it, yet somehow they are getting paid to represent it. It just feels so wrong, I mean, it's awkward and I think the people can feel that too. The music is as it was, but it really kills me that shit. When it was played in the past it came loaded with so much passion from the booth, these kids never knew it, yet now they spit it out, it's so diluted. The nation has gone. Of course, so many of those that play will not link you to this track, I ask while listening, how can we lift the Nation?

11/11/11 Full Moon & Slow Order

Exactly one month ago today, I started work and put hands to the musical voyage - 'Slow Order'. The drive behind the album(s) V1. & V2. was a personal one. A flash moment and breakage in life which compelled me to move. Motivated by how twisted reality can get, I went onto create. Many a sleepless night has passed between, finally both versions are ready. Now I can rest, as the two albums V1. & V2. and their dripping, textures roll out within a strange lost odyssey. Both versions walk translucently into the darkness, at the end of the end...Your walking bold at times, while at others the whole things folds back on itself like a jellyfish. It's painful in it´s discovery and reform, lost, without direction, but not long after that your made to ask. Am I glued to the underbelly of this time-frame? What´s holding this together? Where is the safety net? I hope not all is shattered here. Actually during some moments you rise high, up to vice and virtue and glide int

Paddy McAloon - I Trawl The Megahertz (Edit)

I couldn't quite understand why this track was not already up here on this blog. No more hot dog jumping frog but Paddy McAloon has trawled and created something here which demands your attention, I seek to do the same.

David Michalek's Slow Dancing

Slow Dancing something to be seen!

Jansky Noise - Slow Order

Here is the link and sneak preview to the new album Jansky Noise - Slow Order. This album will be available 11/11/11. The album explores slow motion and attempts to blend old Masters with classic 80's synthesisers.

Portishead - Machine Gun

Definitely one of the best Portishead tracks ever! The combination of 808 delivered raw with simple vocal. The addition here combined with Tetsueo - Iron Man visual works, although I expect this is not the official film for the track, nevertheless the combination is worthy.

Creamy!

So dense, so creamy, so full, so rich, so much more than your average, really really, no end to this. You just have to believe it. All and more under your nose, smell the cream and lap it up, baby!x

Don't Let Them Kill Your Imagination *Free Download*

Yeh, this is real special, you should probably play this one from time to time. I love it, a gesture and a mashed gift with a message for someone young but really for all of us! Dont let them kill your imagination. Dance just like a tornado, spin the world right out, till you filled your cup! Cherish every single day..

Mechincal Bride - Umbrella

Amazing how music sometimes just gets lost. This is the best example of a relatively recent cover version which saw no light of day. Nothing, just came out and got lost in the endless wave of new musics. This is a shame for Mechanical Bride as I am sure that millions would indeed enjoy this cover version. Well, while it rains in Madrid myself and Rebecca have enjoyed this track today. ARRGh. X

Duke of Iron Loving woman is waste of time

Dont get too many lyrics of this nature in the charts!!!

Isabella Rossellini's - Green Porno Snail

Green Porno indeed! I put a link to Isabella Rossellini's hilarious interpretation of sex from the natural world, a long time ago on this blog, but that link got pulled, so here she is again exploring the mating habits of snails. Top job!

Tramp & Tom Waits / Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me Yet

It's amazing what you can do with a loop, here this vocal took on a new dimension. Bringing a poor soul with faith, Tom Waits and a certain Gavin Bryars together. Once you have heard this song it should never leave you. Nice to see that at least some of you are lending an ear as this video currently has more than 47,000 views.

Secession - "The Magician"

It's time for the Magician. An empty sky, a violent sea. When I was a lad in Manchester the 12'' version could be located within my Fathers record collection. This song without doubt is one of my all time desert island disks, an inspiration, in my tender years and even now. Real treasure..

Parno Graszt - Sehol se talállak (Quimby cover)

Plenty of Gypsy Music this way in Spain, however Parno Graszt or the White Horse in Romani language play with purity and freedom. Authentic Hungarian Gypsy music, a wonderful source. I love their instruments and the spirit, so humbled and real. This particular song is cheerful, vigorous and beaming with vocal splendour. Certainly caught my ear. Try it, then try deny it. You wont be disappointed.

Leyland Kirby - Polaroid [Re-upload] [H.D]

The prolific James Leyland Kirby has several videos up online via Youtube. Most of which I see and hear with some frequency. This track in particular was one which caught my ear. Seems that this has not only caught my ear but it has also caught many others. Take a listen and walk it's gentle path. Have a good weekend, I know I will try.

Only In Russia - Crutch Dance

There I was thinking my dancing times are over, having just spent the best part of 6 weeks on crutches after a recent knee operation, only to discover this wonderful visual crutch dance.

Luis Delgado - Cielo Profundo

Jansky Noise - Slow Order

An excerpt from my forthcoming album exploring new music and old romance. The full piece will be available soon. The base of the album evolves around - 80's sythn classic. It's a slow momentous ride, slowed electronics, coupled with romance. A blown fuse point where an end arrived and those epic structural harmonics and old masters before go off the edge. Fluidity get´s lost and melts into contrast, while color collides and swaps itself into expression. In the struggle of sound a blurred new form attempts to emerge, uncertain and without direction. Modulated music, both diminished and expanded. More about this forthcoming release which will be available in several parts on different platforms very soon.

LANA DEL REY-VIDEO GAMES

My long standing friend, vocalist and collaborator T.T or 10/10, has just sent me this wonderful link. Real nice to wake up with Lana Del Rey. The production here is stunning, love the mix, yeh, it's commercial, but it's my idea of fun, the effects on the vocals, the harp, the percussion and the slices of video injected into the mix. Heaven is a place on earth with you. Lana Del Rey - Video Games and Blue Jeans. Much better than I ever knew. They say the world was built for two, play and enjoy. Loving you...x. Yew, you it's all for you!!!

Shri Chamunda chalisa

Looking into what constitutes a - lullaby and stumbled across this hallardu, designed for children of India and speakers of Gujarati worldwide. The slower percussion and melody are pleasing, not sure how much I could sleep listening too this but it's certainly sweet.

Petra Jean Phillipson - Tubeophany - Notes on Death

After looking around on line for Petra Jean Philipson, I could not find a song from her new album titled - Notes on Death. I therefore decided that it was time to upload a taster for you to hear. Petra is touching on a raw nerve with her experiments. This Tubeophany track actually runs at over 13min on the album. I have uploaded a reduced version for you. The album is a mixed canvas of experiments which could well help her land other more theatrical works. Not quite as dark as the new tracks from Passing Yew, but interesting nevertheless.

SPACE CADET - Remember the Future

The legendary Glagsow/Manchester based DJ and Father to myself and James Leyland Kirby Acid Alan used the term 'space cadet', to describe many a person more than I care to ever remember. I like to think of this song as perhaps the music equivalent of what he was referring to. Take advice from Acid Alan and the Space Cadet - be a space cadet, escape reality, move inside walls, go out and eat a meal on Mars, let Robots do the work, live amongst the stars!!! Remember kids the future is to escape reality or at least that's what the Space Cadet believe. Too stupid and too good!

Eager To Tear Apart The Stars by LEYLAND KIRBY - CD - Boomkat - Your independent music specialist

Eager To Tear Apart The Stars by LEYLAND KIRBY - CD - Boomkat - Your independent music specialist My, my, yes, the brilliant creative talent, my V/Vm right hand man and long standing whisky drinking companion - James Leyland Kirby has just released another wonderful set of lucidly, slow, haunting musics. Sure to be fine in company or alone with a good bottle. Get it while you can, it's available in your region as it has proper distribution however like all good things, it shall not be available for long. Check, listen adore, buy.

Andrea Parker - After Dark

I was never a fan of Andrea Parker, but my old mate Marco P. from Italy - has highlighted this one for me again, time and time again. It has a darkness which strikes a chord, simplicity in electronics. I will also put some old stuff to the Nature Records myself and James used to buy many moons ago when shopping in London, when electronic music was exciting, way back in 1999 and before!!

Los Sampler's descars manbo brillantehd manbo

Yeh, this has a future! We need more of this!

Los samplers- La vida es llena de cables

Yeh, this is stupid but I agree - The World is full of cables. Without them we would be in a real mess, we should thanks Los Samplers for the reminder... Hasta pronto!!!

Cornnell Campbell - Under The Old Oak Tree

Under an Old Oak.. Under an old tree? I am loving trees at the moment, but the tree I am interested in is actually the Yew. Soon, something will appear with a Yew in the title which may or may not put a shiver in you...Mmmh..

Tom Lehrer - The Masochism Tango - now on DVD

I just rediscovered Tom Lehrer comical Tango, seems like the right day for this song. Yesterday there was a mascot, no massocar on the drums in El Pero Club Madrid with our man from - The Ruins. I took Yoshida for dinner at ''Jin Jin'', a Chinease restaurant in Madrid, I have a story to tell you about that, after the food, with our bellies full, we laughed about my favourite bar in Madrid 'Palentinos', and the staff who work in it, if you add the age of the two staff that work behind the bar you get a figure of more than 200 years! This strange fact tickled Yosida, but more on that another time. After our giggle, Yosida hit the the drums with mastery loaded with a belly of duck. Tom tom mashing, slashing skills, a tutti pleny.. Jolt, talking of Tom but another one - Tom Lehrer, I was reminded of his song due to another Latin project I have in motion. The future tango mix, will make it's way into a CD or download. The mix will be full of rumba, and the jolli

Ruins - Bupphairodazz

Yeh, this one would be good tonight. Doubt it will happen but you never know. Madrid in Ruins come on!!!

John Zorn - Invitation to a suicide

Yoshida Tatsuya is in town. On my way to meet him now, I have just been informed that he's looking to shower and eat. Hoping to chat with him a little about some of his collaborations with People like John Zorn, my mate Mike Patton, KK-Null and the countless others he has worked with. Wounded by the days events and hopping like a real pirate, or should I say limping. Let's if this old peg leg can convince Yoshida Tatsuya to do more than adventure with me. What-ever happens Yoshida from The Ruins, will be playing at our little club tonight,,,nice!!!

Mi Ami - African Rhythms (White Denim, 2008)

It's amazing what you find with a little searching. Really like the way Mi Ami has pieced this little racket together. Thumbs up and tom toms down, post tribal punk noise jam. Will be attempting some more rhythmical stuff probably with more noise sooner or later. ARRGh

FTS: English Journey 1

Good combination here, real shame I wont be able to attend the show. I am sure it will be quite special.

Jaap Blonk performance - installation Messa di Voce

My old mate Jaap Blonk you have to love him. He really is special. Here in his installation Messa di Voce Jaap is encapsulated and bound with a special visual which helps extend dimensions and fuel experimentation. Really great that these types of pairings happen without doubt something wonderful and an audio-visual delight...

Lost (Held Under) - KK Null / Jim Plotkin

Good to see this track up on Youtube. It's fair to say that this is a classic with distinction. My old mate James Plotkin and KK Null really getting into some deep space and ambience here. Hit's the spot. Classic dark ambience at it's best. Up with the best!

Rank Sinatra - Greatest Hits

After almost 10 years of sitting on a hard-drive somewhere deep in the Australia bush, the old Rank Sinatra, T.T and Animal cover version of the classic 80's love ballad - Love lifts us up where we belong, is out! This version has been electrocuted, shot and hacked to death, not sure if it's a medley or just meddling, either way we didn't as yet get a meddle for it. Amazing how these experiments get lost and resound. The road indeed is long and certainly mountains are in the way. Check the disk, it's Rank Sinatra at his best and Animal in Test!! Check the link and download now

Animal Macgregor - Cavern Tavern Fast Lady Remix

Not too long ago, I was down in Bristol with my old pirate chums a couple of Dutch ladies and some Ethiopian dog walkers. The Slautery Arms is a very multicultural place indeed! So after a few barrels of ale things got interesting. Alot of the night is not clear, but I do recall the young bar staff being very helpful and lending me a microphone. Next day on my hard-disk I found this song which is a real cracker. I expect more than skulduggery was at hand and hook here but that's how it goes sometimes. I am after all an authentic pirate. I shall be heading down The Slautery again next time I am in blighty, it's the best Tavern that side and I recommend you go soon. Who knows if the winds blow me right, we might able em to put this there disk onto the local juke box. I say, 70 ARRRGH...x

Larkin Grimm - Blond and Golden johns

Intimate, charming, enchanting, playful. Take in regular doses..

Jean Michel Jarre - Happiness is a sad song (1969)

Yeh, the title. The main man Jean Michel Jarre with a more experimental moment, certainly influential. Pushing the knobs, hitting pitch shifter and dropping the octaves! Is this a sad song?

Music Inspired by Murder Ballads and Lovecraft

I spent the whole weekend locked away like a bear in a cave. I was experimenting with various structures and researching -The Murder Ballad theme. One which has quite some history, alot more milage, yet on the surface we find the blood of Nick Cave splattered everywhere and very little more mentioned below the surface. The gist of the Murder Ballad is that it tells a story of just that - Murder. Seems that mankind has a morbid interest in blood. The music I am preparing has Frankenstein or Dr. Jekyell orientation, whilst remaining smoky cold with shivers in a H.P. Lovecraft way. The main theme from a forthcoming release has been hung on the Tube here for you. This is an edit of the rather long track which formed the backbone of my first experiments. A developed version of this along with others coving the chilling theme will be available in 2012.

Jansky Noise - I draw The Line Today

Do you remember the first kiss? A line taken from PJ. I dedicate this version to someone special, as I look up into the stars and out to deep space. I hope you enjoy. Drawing the line and putting an end to things today.

Homenaje Tracks up on Youtube

I finally managed to upload some of the tracks from the Homenaje Album I released sometime ago. The album was inspired by the oneness of the people shortly after the terrible attack here in Madrid 11M. Some of you were asking for the songs as the disk is impossible to find, so now you have the majority of them. One of my old time favourites was this one by Difra. The track from Difra pretty much sums up how I am feeling today. Timeless track, love that effect on the guitar. Falling, like something from a David Lynch film that was never made....Hope you enjoy this and the other tracks up...

Chet Baker,"I'm a Fool to Want You".

Enjoying this smoke filled version of the track...

Mick Harris & Martyn Bates , The Cruel Mother

Def Poetry Jam - Saul Williams (Coded Language)

FATCAT and FISHFACE CRACKAAR!

Crossfires - Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

This is nuts, what were these guys taking. Love the way this just changes from straight to not! Real horror fun, real double lives and playing. These guys apparently recorded on the White Whale Label for a spell the suddenly turned into turtles. So that's what happens when you play this way!!!

The Iron Man! Cristina has gone!!

All gone, she's gone, decided it's best, No longer together, now just a past tense. A lack of sharing time, not inviting to stay, An eclipse happened, emotions in disarray. Out of the blue, she said it's not what she wants, During the eclipse, the words cut like sharp taunts. I warned her that July would be tough, But I promised her Canada, that should be enough. Now she can't wait, and I'm stuck in a bind, I need to work in July, but for her, I'm all aligned. It's crazy how it ended, I'm left in shock, She dropped off my camera and flip-flops, like ticking clocks. I still want to take her to Canada, show her the sights, But now it's too late, she's gone without any fights. I'll always remember the love shared, But now it's time to move on, to show I'm not scared. Life goes on, memories fade, But I'll always cherish the love that we made.

suave!

Dont cry!

I may have a reason to cry, but I wont, not now, but speaking of crying, Toecutter long term collaborator with V/Vm Test Records, brings his brilliance to the showroom.. Out, in direct it must be a bomb!

Teebs, Bern Rhythm, this video works!

A song from the Deep Blue here.

Specially trawled out of the sea for Valentines day. A deep sea recording with aquatic vocals by senor Elephant Fish. Indeed our fish here does sound like he has the bends or maybe he's just missing company to swim with, either way this tune could well be from a submerged island close to Atlantis.

Carolina Chocolate Drops is having it on the Kazoo - at WDVX's Blue Plate Special

Carolina Chocolate Drops' live cover version of "Hit 'Em Up Style" is nothing short of incredible. From the moment the song begins, the energy is electric, and it's impossible not to be swept up in the excitement. The band's performance is truly captivating, with vocalist Rhiannon Giddens delivering a powerful and soulful performance that is both braw, raw and refined. The addition of the violin brings a unique texture to the song, adding to the overall vibe and making it grassroot, raw and to the bone. What's truly remarkable is how they make the song their own, infusing it with their unique southern style and flippy energy. While the original version of the song is catchy and upbeat, the Carolina Chocolate Drops take it to a whole new elevated level, this performance is something special. Overall, Carolina Chocolate Drops' live cover version of "Hit 'Em Up Style" WDVX's Blue Plate Special is a must-see for anyone who appreciates gre

Desert Island Dicks at Bandcamp

Yes, love will do many things including bring all those torn apart back together again. At least that what seems to have happened on this Desert Island Dicks album. Name your price and download at Bandcamp...

A fishy Tail to watch.

AAA AAA - ARRGh.

Great piece from the past. Real tension towards the end. A revisit in order?

8 Tack Remind

We have the artwork for the previously mentioned Various - 8 Track Remind (DVR064 8-track). Artwork was created by Jennifer Baxter, and the album compiled by Lee Ashcroft for Digital Vomit and Dead Air Recordings. Jansky Noises ambient track is like earlier works from Aphex Twin. Selected ambient works slide over field recordings of an Osprey made by Mr Noise himself. Available soon via Digital Vomit. Link

Bob Dylan the DJ does electronica

Great to see so many people upset with Bob Dylan and his recent DJ sets. Even better to see that Bob is playing electronica! According to this article posted today in the Guardian bob played "an electronica set composed of atonal drones, hyperactive drumbeats".    http://www.theonion.com/article/rock-fans-outraged-as-bob-dylan-goes-electronica-17699 Those who apparently came to see the  "authentic Dylan", the one with the Stratocaster guitar and signature wild blues-rock band where somehow short changed? They didnt see him, mmh! My argument would be, we are talking about Bob Dylan, being courageous, how many decades has Bob been doing this?  Isnt he known for his transformation? Didnt Bob Dylan make leaps with electronic instrumentation? Isnt Bob Dylan a man of progress? I´d say, those who were upset might want to think about progress while asking the question of how many roads must a man walk down? Respect to Bob,

The first 8-Track in 22 years?

8-Track , never heard of it? The magnetic format, it has come back to tempt you. In order for something to 'come back', it has to have gone, right? Have you ever had an 8-Track? Now is your chance to get one. As you might expect a machine like this is 100% retro. A 70's sound and deeper. So wrong there right! Don't take our word for it, check this if the machine tickles your whistle, in August 2010, you will be able to buy a new 8-Track, the 1st in 22 years which includes a track by Mr Jansky Noise and other creative birds. The cartridge has bee compiled by Lee Ashcroft for Digital Vomi t and Dead Air Recordings, it will cost £20. The 8-Track contains a series of 4 programs, each program contains spanking new songs for playback on an old machine. We have just obtained a preview of the work and especially loved Al Duval's contribution. Mr Duval (as ever), hit the spot perfectly, lifting spirits, he's truly a wonderful man!

How Fortunate the Man With None (Remastered) - Dead Can Dance

You saw sagacious Solomon You know what came of him To him, complexities seemed plain He cursed the hour that gave birth to him And saw that everything was vain How great and wise was Solomon The world, however, did not wait But soon observed what followed on It's wisdom that had brought him to this state How fortunate the man with none You saw courageous Caesar next You know what he became They deified him in his life Then had him murdered just the same And as they raised the fatal knife How loud he cried "you too my son!" The world, however, did not wait But soon observed what followed on It's courage that had brought him to that state How fortunate the man with none You heard of honest Socrates The man who never lied They weren't so grateful as you'd think Instead the rulers fixed to have him tried And handed him the poisoned drink How honest was the people's noble son The world, however, did not wait But soon observed what fo

The cosmological evolution of flat-spectrum quasars what is V/Vm and V/Vm Test Records?

The V/Vm equation is found within the record label V/Vm Test Records from Manchester and the North. V/Vm is a critical tool for measuring the evolution of quasars, here we discuss and compare what V/Vm is and stands for and try to provide ractional for the selection of V/Vm Test Records and it's name: Volume Consideration:  The V/Vm equation originally takes into account the volume in which quasars are detected (V) compared to the maximum volume (Vm) they could be detected in based on their observed properties. This volume comparison is essential because it helps researchers assess whether quasars are distributed uniformly across the universe or if their distribution changes over time. Redshift Dependency:  Quasar redshift (z) is directly related to their distance from Earth and, indirectly, to their cosmic age. As quasars emit light that travels through space, it becomes redshifted due to the expansion of the universe. By incorporating redshift into the V/Vm equation, scientists c
