Earlier this week, Dinowalrus dropped a track from their upcoming LP, Best Behavior , which is set to be released on March 6th, 2012 via Old Flame Records . Best Behavior was recorded over the past two years with Nadim Issa and Matt Walsh (of The Forms ), and features drumming from The Depreciation Guild 's Anton Hochheim. On this, their second LP, band has narrowed their focus in order to create synthy jangle rock in the vein of the Madchester sound. This track has a brief cameo [...]

Homme ju Printi, eksole. A Certain Ratio - Shack Up (Work Mix) ( mp3 )
![A CERTAIN RATIO – Tumba Rhumba [Soul Jazz Records]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3403963_lg.jpg)
Imagine hearing one of the most random and homely sounding tracks in the background of your neighbours BBQ or at a full blown, hows-ya-father wedding reception... Well.. this track by A Certain Ratio may well be it with its part Latin and tribal roots, but it's certainly not missing any good old fashioned funk needed for those dodgy Uncle/Granddad dances we may always tend to see. Deeeelicious work from this seminal Manchester, England band. A CERTAIN RATIO – Tumba Rhumba

We encountered Caribou and their Rough-Trade-album-of-the year, 'Swim', earlier (see ABON 0120 ). 'Swim' is a wonderfully original mixture of thought-provoking ideas and left field dance rhythms. Written and performed by a genuine Dr of Mathematics, it - very appropriately you may think - sets out to prove that music can make you dance and think at the same time. Whilst it's not the first record to do that, 'Swim' doesn't have many obvious historical reference points. In fact it doesn't sound much like anything that has gone before. Except of course for A Certain [...]

StrayDogCafe From: Manchester, United Kingdom At the risk of turning having this weeks blog overrun by stray dogs tonight's post features Manchester post punk trio StrayDogCafe following on from last night's post on Russia's Stray Dogs. They don't conform to the man in the streets stereotypical sound of a Manchester band. They hail from the more obtuse, angular, uncompromising side of the Manchester family. The side of the family that gave birth to The Fall , King Of The Slums , A Certain [...]
Can there possibly be another record label that has written about as much as Factory? Over the past few years a number of books have been published, all offering their own slant. Anthony Wilson himself made an attempt at the time the film 24 Hour Party People was released, a rushed affair, lacking depth and at times leaving the reader to distinguish fact from fancy fiction. However Shadowplayers – The Rise and Fall of Factory Records is by far and away the most comprehensive account. This book by James Nice, whilst daunting at just under 500 pages of [...]
Back in 2003, it seemed as if the new wave sound was really starting to resonate with the indier-than-thou culture. While electroclash fell by the wayside, the damage had already been done. The innovation, style and expressive sounds that made the 80s the most dominant decade in music was back in vogue. Indie bands simply had to find a synth-geek and a drummer who at least heard Shack Up by A Certain Ratio and the arms race. Two records that owned my second half of 2003 were Open Season by British Sea Power and this...the [...]
It's the underlying element that lifts a track up to a monster groove. It's the spine of the song. It can be deep and dark, or it can be grinning right along with you. It's the slap bassline. 1. Move On (Mutant Dance Move) - Fashion A B-Side from one of the 80's best forgotten dark New Wave albums, Fabrique by Fashion . Actually an instrumental/alternate version of the single 'Move On', I absolutely adore this track. Once it hits 2:34 things start to get fun. [...]
Many moons ago Glasgow popsters Bis knocked out an EP of cover versions on OSCARR, amongst them this wonderful reinterpretation of Barrabas' 'Shack Up'. Also worth checking their version of 'Love Will Tear Us Apart' as it's been referred to as 'the finest cover version i have heard'! Bis - Shack Up

This 1975 breaks classic by Banbarra , Shack Up , probably would still be gathering dust in a record crate somewhere if it weren't for Factory Record's flagship A Certain Ratio digging it out of rare groove obscurity and giving it a good cover (ironically enough could be later applied to ACR themselves!) So, besides the ubiquitous ACR cover we have a few other Banbarra fans; obscure 80s synth-funk Thirteen At Midnight and even more obscure funk/soul acts Blackbuster and Rokotto who at 1978 probably [...]

Great Factory/New Order documentary, many thanks to Plaid Music blog.
I receive links to articles of this type almost daily, but it's important to reiterate some facts when considering just what star to hitch your retirement wagon onto. From an ABC News article from this past April, "Though vinyl sales account for less than 1 percent of sales, Rollingstone.com reports that the number of records sold last year jumped to 1.88 million from 988,000 in 2007. The Recording Industry Association of America officially acknowledged a resurgence of vinyl records when statistics proved it in 2007. That year, the American music industry saw a 46.2 [...]
