Lo-Fidelity Allstars - Battleflag Here's a fact anyone I've ever met (also: everyone, everywhere) almost certainly doesn't know: "Battle Flag" (or "Battleflag"; Wikipedia is non-committal or, more likely, all-encompassing), the only song you might recognize as Lo Fidelity Allstars, isn't theirs. Pigeonhed, a Seattle-based, Subpop-signed collaboration between Shawn Smith and Steve Fisk, penned the original, and the duo released its version on 19972s The Full Sentence . (If you're so inclined, you can pay Steve Jobs $.99 to confirm what listening to iTunes' 30-second clip will hint: it sucks. I come at this discussion from [...]

Well, today is more on the guy who is sometimes taking the moniker of the Thin White Duke. It's Les Rythmes Digitales . I thought of it when I was listening to the On The Floor At The Boutique by Lo-Fidelity Allstars . I have had that album since it came out back in '98 (or at least that's when I first laid eyes on it) and I still crack it out every so often. Hell, those of you who dig through our blog posts will find the Jackson and His Computer Band track "Makin' It Happen" on [...]

Meat Puppets photos, McNally's hip hop diploma program & local album reviews.
The UK remixer called IDC makes the sort of unruly, dastardly tracks and treatments that are sort of your kid brother who you feel is annoying and not right in the head--a snot-nosed brat who doesn't care for what you...
It was the Camden Crawl at the weekend. I wasn't much interested in this year's festival, but it's the perfect time to mention a CD I found the other day when clearing out a bunch of old stuff. The free Camden Crawl compilation from 1997. Things were different then. No big-name ...

Apparently Brazil's President or PM or whoever the fuck is in charge has recently gone on record as stating that the global financial crisis was caused by people with 'white skin and blue eyes'. Whilst a little bitter racism does tend to amuse me in the morning, I think he is only half right. White men, perhaps, but actually I think you'll find it was green eyes that were the problem. Sometime this week I published my official thousandth post, which was cause for not all that much rejoicing at all really. It looked cool on [...]

Some of you probably remember the early to mid 90's, when acid break beat groups ruled electronic music. There's the no-brainers, like The Chemical Brothers and Fatboy Slim, both of which reached the status as electronica pop-kings. But what about the lesser popularized acts such as, Crystal Method or Lo Fidelity All-Stars . Sure both groups had their individual successes, but never quite to the stature of others. They always managed to somehow stay in the so-called 'underground', failing to acquire the attention they deserved here in [...]

In the summer of 1998, my friend Tom and I went to see the Lo-Fidelity Allstars at the Astoria in London, and it was all kinds of fantastic. Their singer came out holding a firecracker, Tom got clotheslined out of his shoes by a crowdsurfer, and things were blissful. A few months later, we went to see them at the Shepherds Bush Empire on the day that their singer had quit the band, a fact that we didn't know til after the gig. It remains one of the most disappointing gig nights I've had. [...]
