I suppose you could say we at L'Amour Electronique HQ are something close to avid followers of Luke Haines - we have copies of the majority of his records under various guises, from the earliest Auteurs ' albums, through his terrorist-funk Baader Meinhof project, the chart-bothering, sugar-coated/acid-tongued Black Box Recorder , and his later acerbic, and mostly 70s-obsessed, solo material , not to mention his memoirs firmly stating his part in Brit Pop's downfall , and the years following ... Which brings me to his latest release, of which [...]
The Bioshock Infinite team have released the second part in their series of videos revealing the new 'Heavy Hitter' enemy class. First revealed during the initial teaser trailer for the game back in August 2010, the Handyman enemy has become the Big Daddy of Bioshock Infinite in the eyes of many fans. However, in contrast to the Big Daddies from the original Bioshock, who always trod the line between gentle giant and deadly monster, there has been little question raised of the role the Handyman will play in the upcoming game. A horrific mix of exposed [...]
A little piece of wintery themed bizarreness courtesy of Cosmonaut Grechko . The sort of music that will put a smile on your face. The second half is especially lovely. Big Daddy - Eye Of The Tiger (Cosmonaut Grechko Version) [ Download ] Tweet This Post
I've been busy enough to miss a deadline here, with the start of a new school year taking up all my time and energy. But happily, a luxuriously long Labor Day weekend leaves room for a mid-morning run-down of the newest stuff to hit my ears. Here's the best previously-unheard artist coverage that's been making me happy as Summer spins to Fall; take a taste between the barbecues and parties, and - as always - don't forget to follow links to purchase and support these new and still-rising artists if you like what you [...]
Denny's has introduced the 1,690 calorie "Mac 'n Cheese Big Daddy Patty Melt". The mac-n-cheeseburger consists of "a hand-pressed beef patty topped with new creamy Mac 'n Cheese, melted cheddar cheese and zesty Frisco sauce on grilled potato bread." Order one with their new frosty nacho cheese and bacon bit shake...no, I made that up but you kind of believed me.
I afraid it's a day late, and I don't have any real clever reasoning behind today's OSM, which features some songs from the legendary Big Daddy Kane's 2nd album It's a Big Daddy Thing , other than I was listening to some BDK at the end of last week, and Kane is, you know, kind of the best. I mean just have a gander at that cover for the 123 version of The Wrath of Kane right there, you know you're an old school bad ass if you had a t-shirt with an airbrushed likeness of yourself on [...]

The second mix of Beatles covers comprises songs from the group's 1967-68 period, ending rather abruptly in the middle of the White Album selection. So the third mix will carry on with songs from that double album (leading with the Beach Boys doing Back In The USSR). There are some quite unexpected covers. Ella Fitzgerald singing Savoy Truffle? Soul group The Moments singing Rocky Racoon, of all songs? Some performers are also surprising. Bill Cosby, for example. The stand-up comic did an album of covers in 1969, including Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. It's not mugging for [...]
Sharon Jones is the sparking turbine powering most of the best new funk records from the Daptone camp. She speaks now moments after returning from the hospital to comfort a sick relative, but wouldn't consider postponing the interview even for a few minutes. This interview by Chris Ziegler.
Typically, I leave the wacky, zany 50s/60s-style rock 'n' roll nostalgia to my colleagues on and off the air, but this LP, which originally belonged to my Mom, has had a substantial impact on my life and the lives of those I've shared it with. Terry Folger in particular was obsessed with several songs from Big Daddy's Twist Party , most memorably "The Persians Twist"—probably my favorite of the collection, too, as it's über-catchy and mentions "Paramus, NJ" in the chorus. Anyone who's done some garage-sale/record fair-type vinyl digging is familiar with the [...]
So some new things are coming to Tallahassee and I just wanted to keep you good people abreast to these trends. Just a little back story - Andrea Grant, Steve Lurkel , and myself, DJ Mannes , have been doing the DJ Duo thing around Tallahassee for quite some time now, going way back to October 2007 when we first teamed up for a party at our good friend Dan Morales' house. We didn't have any prior practice together but with very similar styles and tastes, we quickly blended (and quite nicely) into this DJ Dance Party unit. [...]
Big Daddy MP3s Cutting Their Own Groove Big Daddy was a favorite of Dr Demento , going back to an early incarnation with "Hamster Love" in the 1970s, but they got more interesting coming into the 1990s with their big high concept. Story was that they were a band from the 1950s captured by the Soviets and held prisoner for 25 years, released in the mid 1980s. They went back to playing the hits of the day- but having missed out on the musical [...]
