THIS WEEKS HITS – WEEK ALMOST ENDING 28TH MARCH 2007
Current mood:REGULAR GOOD
Category: Music

Blimey there's a mountain of work chasing me, so this is gonna have to be double quick which'll be hard because this week there are many many hits...

FRESHERS

Let's start with The Hand. This is some kind of folk electornica cross over. Both genres are undergoing a renaissance just now and thank the blue sky for that. I particularly like the way The Hand utilises that juddery jumpy effect that seems to be all the rage. It's a quality blend, pour yourself a mug...

Terry Toe is another good citizen of electronica utopia. Mr Toe's trick is brass which reminds me of being young and naive and I like him for that and for many other reasons. Brasstronica anyone??

Bible College have also pitched a tent in the fertile floodplains of electronica utopia. There's only one track up at the moment but it's a good one. Go listen and don't forget to read the good book every night b4 bedtime or you might wake up and find a fucking great big cross outside your window...

Acousticly speaking Laura Burhenn has come up with some sublime numbers on herspace. If the track Just for the Night's splendid mix of the acoustic and electronic doesn't open you up, you might well find that you're not quite human..

Metamoderne takes this weeks prize for originality. I have no idea what you call this, they call it Experimental/Tropical/Gospel. I call it freakin good....

Lastly here's a special mention for my old mate Hijackalope who's suffered the indignity of having a bunch of his gear nicked this last week. The song about chipmunks (Straight From The Heart) is depraved (and fucking hilarious) Mr 'Lope. The militant animal rights people are probably onto you. Be doubly careful to look under your car next time you drive it...

STAPLES

There's not much to go here this week. I've been mostly sorting through the archive to make it easier to DJ which has meant I've been listening to beginings and ends, so I think i'll just leave this blank....

LIVE

For a review of the Eugene Machine / they came from the stars I saw them gig at Gingliks watch this space - a full review is bubbling up later on today..

As is a full review of last nights Scroobius Pip and 6ft 2" Pianist gig at The Strongroom...It was a blinder. Mr Pip is a fine, fine orator. Get along and see him quick before Elton John starts wanting to work with him..

The second Pull Up A Chair in Mornington Crescent was a little sparsely attended, but was nevertheless a decent way to spend the dregs of the weekend. There was some shit hot DJ playing a mixture of electronica, reggae and easy listening. He was called Paul Giovanvandriver - something like that anyway

MIXES

My favourite this week has been a cd mix by Mr Mike Paradinas aka U-ziq. It's called Amunition and it's on the Planet Mu label.. It's a quick bang crash wallop mix with some lighter moments and is generally blinding. It's pretty new, but old enough not to be infected by the rancid plague that is dubstep....

OK, that's it. I'm off to get drunk and watch some more bands..Last night was my first on the booze for 3 weeks. It ended badly. Tonight I will do better..
