The multi-platinum funk soul brothers, with 4 Top 10 albums to their name, return for the first time in five years with the first classic party album of the decade! Featuring collaborations with Roots Manuva and Paul Kaye. Huey, Fast and Frank have been missing in action for 5 years, caught up in an acrimonious legal battle with their first manager who they fired in 2003. 'Classic Fantastic' bursts out of that gloom like a glorious sunrise shooting infinite rays over a range of shadowy mountains, as spectacularly life-affirming as the last five years have been [...]

Fissunix - I Love Rock'N'Fun [ mp3 ] Joan Jett - I Love Rock'N'Roll Fun Lovin' Criminals - The Fun Lovin' Criminals we <3 rock'n'roll we <3 Joan Jett we <3 dis mash FUN!

You may point and laugh, people, but I am currently lying in my bed, a mere sneeze, twitch or yawn away from unspeakable agony. I fucked my back playing football on Monday and at the moment any kind of movement is like a wild gamble. Do it wrong, and my lower back spasms to extent that it can take me ten minutes to focus on the individual muscles one by one and try and relax them. It's bloody crap. On the plus side, my doctor has prescribed me Diazepam which, according to the Daily Mail, [...]

1. THE KILLERS , Main Stage, Sunday No strangers to Oxegen, The Killers are guaranteed crowd pleasers, finishing off the last night of Oxegen '09 with a bevy of hits from their three albums. 'Mister Brightside' alone should be worth the price of admission. 2. KINGS OF LEON, Main Stage, Saturday Oxegen just wouldn't be Oxegen without the Followill family. Just don't expect lots of leaping around and audience interaction: this is no-nonsense, heads-down southern rawk, which should turn an entire field into a mosh [...]

Vu Rob Swift ce week-end, le turntablist qui officie au sein des très cotés X-Ecutioneers, un mix pas vraiment transcendant mais plaisant, dans la lignée de ses nombreux albums sortis depuis une quinzaine d'années. En 1999, je le découvre grace à son album "The Ablist" où l'on retrouve le single "Dope on Plastic" et ce titre assez original et à part dans la mesure où le New Yorkais ne se contente pas de prouesses de crossfader mais dialogue à sa manière avec des [...]

Here at the Ripple office, despite the fact [...]

I gotta admit, when this album first came out, I avoided it like the plague. Here at the Ripple office, despite the fact that the vast majority of what we listen to is rock, that doesn't mean that we're closed-minded to other styles. The Pope and I are just as open to a great rap vibe coming our way as we are to some extreme metal. The thing is, it has to be a good vibe. When the Fun Lovin' Criminal 's debut, Come [...]

"We were a motley crew of individuals who essentially wanted to sound like a band from Venus or Mars!" – Daniel Ash A bit of a delve into the past here so bare with me . . .some of you were probably not even born when this group formed. I know I wasn't . . . After Bauhaus and before Love and Rockets , Daniel Ash formed Tones On Tail with fellow Bauhaus member, Kevin Haskins, and Bauhaus roadie, Glenn Campling. Experimenting in sound innovation and re–creation one could argue [...]
I remember painting houses one summer back in the mid 90's and listening to a lot of Luniz, Bone Thugs, and Beastie Boys. Good times indeed. MP3 | Blind Melon - No Rain MP3 | Veruca Salt - Seether MP3 | Luniz - I Got 5 On It MP3 [...]

Sorry Alyk and you fine Bostonians. I love the Celtics, and I love Brady's stunning chin, but the next week, at least, is all about New York. New York: the greatest city in the world. And a city in desperate need of something to repair the damage Isiah Thomas has done to sport in the city. So, celebrate New York. I know you will. MP3: Ray Charles - "New York's My Home" (from Genius + Soul = Jazz [...]
mp3: fun lovin' criminals- we have all the time in the world this cover comes from one of my favorite albums back in my middle school days. come find yourself . my bloody valentine also covered this song around roughly the same time and, due to the band's popularity and commercial marketing, theirs is the cover you're more likely to recognize. but personally, i prefer the fun lovin' criminals., although it's probably just because of the album's sentimental place in my childhood memories. louis armstrong- "we have all [...]
This was written by me sometime in 2002. It was featured at my writing website until I took everything down. I read it recently, and feel it needs to be shown again, though I did rewrite parts here and there. Let`s talk for a moment about love, and risk... Love is not a rose to be looked at. Love is a sledgehammer. Love is not gentle. Love kicks down doors in blind drunken rages. Love is art, and Love does not care about the artists involved. Love takes what it wants, [...]
Who here remembers Fun Lovin' Criminals? Oh come on, think harder! The band had a quintessential hit in '95 with 'Scooby Snacks'! OK, maybe 'quintessential' is pushing it, but the guys did have a true buzz growing for themselves in the mid-90s. The video was even banned by MTV for being 'too racy' (it surely would've been played today, incidentally). While the Brooklyn-based band faded into obscurity here in the States, they have had a [...]

We focus so heavily on what's "now" or actually what's a month or six months from "now". I don't revisit the past much. I figured we may start a hopefully ongoing series of what I was listening to ten years, five years or just one year ago. It will probably be bad as I believe my tastes probably weren't quite as "indie cultured" as they are now. They've been refined over the last five, but definitely not ten years ago. Actually, like now, my tastes were still all over the map. So, one album [...]
