Arab Strap- Afternoon Soaps
That's right, folks. I've actually done enough listening on my PC using my Itunes and Winamp Audioscrobbler plugins this past week to warrant an actual last.fm Top Track Chart. Ergo... I'm too lazy to upload some MP3s, and the typing is hell tonight do to my having to take my contacts out, so some YouTube Vids will have to do. There are no easily searchable vids for the #1 song this week. However, "Dream Sequence" would provide a nice alternative: [...]

Mixtape: Remix!

Aug 16, 2006, 8:23pm Another Form of Relief
Up until the last few months, I hated remixes. I don't say that lightly either. I really, genuinely despised them. It's hard for me to equate that feeling into words, but it was something to do with the destruction of an original work. I know that remixes are usually done with the consent of the original artist, but it always just seemed wrong to me. Kind of like another director re-editing someone else's film. Recently though, something has changed, and I don't know what. I started getting hold of remixes of songs I [...]

Turbulence

Jul 31, 2006, 2:11pm 2 Many Scenes
Turbulence Arab Strap - Turbulence (Bis Remix) [mp3] The weekend's raving has been done and its time to return from the day-glo world, via some Turbulence from Arab Strap. I have a real thing about drum machines in indie music - it sounds lovely. Before The Postal Service and No Twist popularized that format Arab Strap were already mixing plenty of synthesized sounds with their acoustic guitars and indie vocals. Turbulence off of The Red Thread album is a good example of that. Bis twisted the original version into a post-club [...]

Top Five Friday - Break-Up Songs

Jul 28, 2006, 9:49am Mainstream Isnt So Bad...Is It
Top Five Friday - Break-Up Songs Poor George Michael... caught messing around with some other bloke in the bushes . No wedding bells for you. Today's top five list is for you George. It's never easy. As least if it was ever any good that is. And if it wasn't ever any good, were you ever really "together" in the first place? Breaking up. Whether it's after a whirlwind romance or 20 years of trudgery, the pain often seems insurmountable. Life is over, or at least that's how it feels. Here are my top five songs expressing painful endings. I'm not talking [...]

Best 10 Of The First Half 2006 Ok, everyone seems to be on a list for best-ofs during the first half of 2006.

Sitting eating Pringles with Paula and watching the wildlife

Jun 23, 2006, 4:34pm to die by your side
Sitting eating Pringles with Paula and watching the wildlife What a day. Or rather what a morning! Today started well but events (or rather a particular arse of a client) soon dragged me down to the level of raging employee. It still amazes me what utter twats there are in the world today and how it seems that I have to deal with every single rude, miserable, mother fucking one of them. Is a little bit of common courtesy too much to ask for in this day and age? Seemingly so. Still, if ever there was a day to believe in the world [...]
