The drunk Solo pumped a remix onto our drive that aches for living in your living-room, too! Solo is an Italian living in London, friends with Riva Starr, Mowgli (who he also shares his studio with and they both run the labels Deadfish/Freshfish). Rumors say, that you couldn't meet a nicer guy, so if you dig the remix then please show some love on his space . Neil, the kid sending that track told us: "I was with Solo the other week and he passed me his remix of Cornershop - [...]
i guess our friend wiz doesn't own a tivo, cause he can't seem to get enough of these two commercials from adidas & nike...he says they both had him reaching for "forgotten" tracks from pilooski & cornershop...honestly, i had never heard of either of those artists, but that probably explains why wiz would be in the middle of that adidas house party & i would be left outside...anyway, i dig 'em, especially that frankie valli cut, so thanks wiz...oh, & bron bron totally lifted that chalk thing from mj...that's kind of annoying. [...]
Freshly nicked from my trip to Solo's studio at the weekend, this beauty was planned for compilation releases but as Solo says "it's been a while now and no one has been back to me, fuck them!" (them weren't his exact words but they were along them lines)... So here it is, this track is BIG and to be very honest I want to keep it to myself :( but this baby needs to get played!! So give your support to the mighty Solo and thank him for the massive remix, who I guarantee is gonna [...]
Barometric reading taken from here Alright, let me try to get this thing restarted... Yes, yes, I've been away from here for a bit. Life. Rats. Leaky windows. Plumbing. Global financial meltdown. Kids. That's why... But enough of that - what better way to get restarted than with me waving the flag of Contrast Podcast , which this week experienced Change thanks to Dearest Adam 's theme. There's certainly much about metamorphoses on offer, but what [...]
Another couple from a charity shop rummage yesterday lunchtime. Something from the US and something from the UK. From the US, The Flaming Lips. Much loved by the music press, almost unknown by me. But from their "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots" album, a remix of the "Do You Realise?" track. It's mournful lyrics given a dose of West Coast psychadelic dance by Scott Hardkiss. From the UK, Cornershop. Much loved by the UK indie music press, Cornershop went massive with Norman Cook's remix of "Brimful Of Asha". This only sent the band into its shell [...]
That's four you idiots, learn some culture. Its time once again for soquitcherbitchen's pseudo-monthly collection of electro that's either too old to post as new, too good to miss, or simply too good to have actually been submitted to me. Whichever way you feel like seeing it, all these tracks are hotter than sex. Alternative content Mp3: Walter Meego - Forever ( Van She Tech Remix) (right-click to save) [start things off with some chitown love, the seemingly ELO [...]
-1998- Cornershop - Brimful Of Asha (Fatboy Slim Remix)
There is a sign outside the venue that reads 'Cornershop live tonight...yes, that Cornershop'. It shows the abyss of public awareness that Tjinder Singh and his merry band have fallen into of late. After all, it's been six years since Handcream For A Generation graced the album charts back in 2002. However, with the promise [...]
There is a sign outside the venue that reads ' Cornershop live tonight...yes, that Cornershop '. It shows the abyss of public awareness that Tjinder Singh and his merry band have fallen into of late. After all, it's been six years since Handcream For A Generation graced the album charts back in 2002. However, with the promise of a cracking support from London-based French duo John & Jehn, the trip was made to my original London stomping ground. The gig is a warm-up for their Wireless show the next day, and their first gig seemingly since a mini-tour [...]
It's been ages since I posted a soundtrack. Mostly because none have nabbed my attention. Enter Mike Myers and his many funny voices. Not to mention his singing voice. Mike takes the lead as The Love Guru on a few tracks. (Stream Steve Miller's The Joker below.) The soundtrack has a party vibe. The kind of music you might play this very weekend as you're BBQing some burgers and corn on the cob. It hits record stores June 17. But you can get it NOW from [...]
the original appeared on like every mixtape i made in college. and When I Was Born for the 7th Time is easily one of the best albums of the nineties. this is just okay. Cornershop "Brimful Of Asha (Much Macho Bolan Boogie Mix)"
As promised, here are the unmixed originals to go along with the tunes I posted in Even Better Than The Real Thing a couple weeks ago. Every once in a while I revisit these mixes, with Cornershop's half-speed "Brimful of Asha" and A3's more rambling "Woke Up This Morning" getting the most work, but for the most part, I seek out the superior remix. Enjoy the before/after effects! Download: Primal Scream, "Higher Than The Sun (Original)" (mp3) (Right-click/control-click link to download) [...]
When I began combing through my collection for my most-loved remixes, I realized that a host of them had become the de facto version of the song that you and I know and love - somehow, the second stab at these tunes was universally a step up (next week I promise a list of the originals so you can appreciate the transformation yourselves). Here, then, is a list of remixes so good that they've supplanted the original mixes in my library: Primal Scream, "Higher Than The Sun" I loved [...]
Alt bilinçten beynimize zerk eden melodileri zaman zaman berbat bir kafede, bakkaldan ekmek alırken veya kolpa radyo yayınlarında kulaklarımıza ulaştığında; heyecanla adını hatırlamaya çalıştığımız, lakin hayat akıp geçerkene kendilerinden bi haber yaşamaya devam ettiğimiz saman alevi gibi yanıp sönen "one hit wonders" - Türkçe meali tek şarkılık mucize olsa gerek- her zaman ilgimizi çekmiş bir mevzuattır. Bir parçayla meşhur olup sonradan bir daha göremediğimiz şahsiyetlerin hayatları, birden yıldız olup etraftan kaybolmaları ve bir bakıma müzikal bakımdan üretimsizlikleri ve unutulmuşlukları ilgimi çekiyor ve üşenmeden hepsini hatırlamayı kendime görev biliyorum. Cefakâr bir müzik dinleyicisi olarak çoğunluğu gençlik yıllarımın özeti olan [...]
Ha! You think you know DJ stylee?? See here!! What day is it? Sunday?? Then I must be home. Hang on a sec, let me check... Yep, this seems to be my house, and those seem to be my kids. And the lovely lady pottering about the garden bears a resemblance to my Dearest Wife. But I'll examine her more closely later, just to be sure... Dearest Readers, I've been on the road (or more accurately in the air) [...]
Of Montreal "Feminine Effects" - Kevin Barnes' character in "Feminine Effects" feels entirely powerless, to the point that she feels that she owes her identity and happiness to her rich boyfriend, who took her out of the country and brought her to the "real city." The song is a rather gutting mixture of emotions -- there's tenderness, love, and gratitude, but also a deep sadness and this unarticulated, barely conscious guilt and resentment. Much of Barnes' recent work has tended toward the abstract and purposefully gaudy, but he's extremely successful in conveying a great deal of [...]
Cornershop - Good Shit (MP3) Gotta keep chipping away at that list, even if it takes 11 years. Now just don't anyone even think about mentioning THAT remix: no song deserved that.
Here's the final purge of single-track reposts. If you're request isn't here then you most likely are not getting it unless I already planned on reposting it on my big "you should have asked for these songs" post. If you made a request and it's not here it's because you touch yourself at night. More tomorrow...or something, April is in full effect for me already. ABC - Poison Arrow (Trevor Horn Remix) Fear - Hoochie Coochie Man Husker Du [...]

ABC Family (I know, I know, but it's there and I stumble upon it sometimes, shoot me) recently reran one of my all time favorite movies, A League of Their Own. Now, it's not the same on ABC Family, of course, because Tom Hanks' amazing performance as Jimmy Dugan is highly edited (meaning the film's best bit -- when he's introduced to the crowd for the first time, tips his hat and drunkenly mutters "This is bullsh*t, you can all kiss my ass, yes you can!" through a phony smile), but [...]
