Fun Lovin Criminals Huey Morgan is one smooth, smooth man. The first main stage act of Oxegen Festival 2011s front man can entertain an entire field of people with nothing more than some comic on-screen facial expressions. Of course, Fun Lovin Criminals are about far more than that, and their eclectic take on New York life delivered in Hueys unique, silky, bordering on spoken word style has something for everyone. Early single Scooby Snacks is, as always, the highlight, and FLC are certainly not afraid to trawl the more aged end of their back catalogue, with King Of [...]]]> text/html 2011-07-08T16:54:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3570480/setlist-fun-lovin-criminals-oxegen-8-july-2011/

One word can be used to sum up the Fun Lovin Criminals, and that is cool. Their best known track, Scooby Snacks, samples Quentin Tarantino films possibly the coolest director with undoubtedly the coolest fi...

Overall, the only teams that have dazzled me in the World Cup 2010, have been the Germans and Argentinians. Other than that, the titans of soccer have fell flat and the relative unknowns have held their ground. I'm just excited that both Team USA and Team Mexico are undefeated. The horrible officiating has brought up an interesting possibility for instant replay to be implemented in match play. How it would be incorporated is another story. On a side note, these early games aren't so bad after all. I think I can get use to the idea of [...]]]> text/html 2010-04-06T11:15:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/2456006/fun-lovin-criminals-academy-dublin/
Wow, Fun Lovin Criminals have some following. When the enigmatic three-piece step on stage, the atmosphere inside the Academy is not dissimilar to the rap battle scenes from Eminems 8 Mile (though perhaps a tad older and more middle class), with those down the front slinging their arms at the stage and whooping as every track flies past. The genre defying funk-rock stars treat a gig like a celebration, and when you have the kind of party-pushing music they do, why on earth not. From the opening chords or in Fun Lovin Criminals [...]]]> text/html 2010-04-06T11:15:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/2456158/fun-lovin-criminals-the-academy-dublin/

Fun Loving Criminals new album Classic Fantastic dropped on March 1st, I really like it and have reviewed it on the site.I jumped at the chance to put some questions to Huey and Fast. Although time was limited, I think I pretty much got the main questions in! #1 Is artistic content and staying true to your music more important than commercial success? Frank - Integrity and having fun is everything! I think that so many bands these days put limitations [...]]]> text/html 2010-02-23T16:40:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/2356792/vdeo-classic-fantastic-fun-lovin-criminals/
Se acuerdan de Fun Lovin Criminals ? Esta banda salt a la fama a finales de los aos noventa con sus dos primeros discos y su mezcla de rock y hip hop, aunque despus ya no tuvieron tanto xito. Sin embargo, el tro ha seguido en activo y regresar el prximo marzo con una nueva produccin titulada Classic Fantastic . El primer sencillo de este lbum es la cancin que le da nombre al mismo y fue lanzado, al igual que su vdeo promocional, el da de ayer.

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 [...]]]> text/html 2010-02-03T09:36:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/2307305/fissunix-i-love-rocknfun/

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, [...]]]> text/html 2009-08-31T17:30:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/1956855/the-diggers-union-local-1200-you-call-that-digging/

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 wouldnt be Oxegen without the Followill family.

Vu Rob Swift ce week-end, le turntablist qui officie au sein des trs cots X-Ecutioneers, un mix pas vraiment transcendant mais plaisant, dans la ligne de ses nombreux albums sortis depuis une quinzaine d'annes. En 1999, je le dcouvre grace son album "The Ablist" o l'on retrouve le single "Dope on Plastic" et ce titre assez original et part dans la mesure o le New Yorkais ne se contente pas de prouesses de crossfader mais dialogue sa manire avec des [...]]]> text/html 2008-11-14T08:35:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/1353217/rollo-grady-jive-five-volume-18/
