Rock and roll music: You like it. We like it. Essex, UK-based noise rock trio Fashoda Crisis plays it. You will watch their video --populated as it is with various perversions of your dreams as a seven-year-old in stop motion with much yelling -- and for the first two-thirds of it you will wonder what the hell is going on. We took this as a sign that Fashoda Crisis are on to something (or at least on something). "Animals" is a single from the band's forthcoming sophomore set Him Make They Learn Read , [...]]]> text/html 2011-06-21T03:55:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3536049/hell-on-wheels/
Hell on wheels - Fu Manchu This song and band will be forever linked to those school holidays where all my friends went to the Offshore(?) festival in Victoria, had a whale of a time, had all kinds of age-appropriate experiences, and brought back so many road stories, new bands to like, and merchandise. Meanwhile i sat at home, alone, playing Majora's Mask or Perfect Dark or something. It was one of the first instances where my prudishness and unwillingness [...]]]> text/html 2011-06-20T02:19:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3533178/sunday-mix-tape-number-222/
Kid needs some rest. I promised myself early last week that I was going to take it easy for a while and then I fell back into the habit of going out and staying out late for too many successive nights. Maybe this week we'll see some laid back nights. Starting tonight.

If you're anything like us, you've been slouching around in the sun all weekend, pretending there aren't any deadlines for next week, and generally enjoying the fact that this weekend the UK's been having a premature mini-Summer.

It warms my heart when youth gets corrupted. ------------------------------ ------------------------------ ------------------------------ ---------------------------- This is what happens when unsupervised youth is allowed to fester in a basement of cheap beer, dirt weed and Cathedral tapes. Groan are a 4 piece doom metal outfit with members spread out across the UK but close enough to Stonehenge absorb some of its triptych wicked powers. The Sleeping Wizard is their debut. 7 songs in 26 minutes makes it either a short album or a long EP, take your pick. Musically, Groan is in the tradition of Black Sabbath influenced bands like Candlemass, Electric [...]]]> text/html 2011-02-01T12:45:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3161936/a-perfect-circle-avenged-sevenfold-head-rock-on-the-range/

After a month of procrastination I have finally finished a list of tunes which I felt had the biggest impact in Dubstep for the year 2010. My choices for this list are based on a number of random criteria. Searching through hundreds and hundreds of tunes (and a few Serato crates) I found myself asking: How often did this track make its way into a live set of mine? How many times did I see it in track-lists for other dj's sets or hear it out at parties? How popular was it online and amongst music retailers?

One of the most unique, fantastic voices in the history of rock 'n' roll, Don Van Vliet (Captain Beefheart), passed away yesterday. He was 69 years old. There's nothing funny about his death. He did write some funny songs, though. If you don't own one of (if not all of) the following, your record collection is incomplete: Safe As Milk , Trout Mask Replica , MIrror Man . I'm sure Paris Hilton was devastated. According to FoxNews, quantum physicists in California have designed a machine that is capable of purely quantum-mechanical motion.

This one is going to take over. After hearing it in the Magnetic Man Essential Mix I have been searching high and low looking for more info about a release date.
