Soundtracked: Matthew Young by Olivia Rafferty on Mixcloud I have been away from the internet for the last couple of days, largely due to spending all afternoon in a restaurant with Mrs. Toad on Sunday and then yesterday lying curled up in a ball of tears fending off the ravages of an almighty hangover. To the untrained eye it might even look like I have been entirely slacking off, but that isn't entirely true On Saturday I managed to find time [...]
Band'its At Ten O'clock is another 101 release that came out the same year as Live Letters . Unlike that album, this record is a collection of studio cuts and not live records. But it's equally, if not more so, impressive and well worth the listen today. The Scene All People Go Mad You like mod music? These guys sure did. This album came out in 1980, but this song sounds like it was ripped straight out of the late-60s. Great stuff, very [...]
Check out Man Man 's adorable new music video for "Piranhas Club" from their latest album Life Fantastic . It premiered recently on Pitchfork.tv . We love the use of John Waters' "Cry-Baby" as inspiration for the adolescent destructive rampage. Oh, how it reminds us of our misspent youth (minus the hair gel)! Enjoy! (Photo by David Turcotte)
This is about as main stream as my interest in hip hop extends. Grammy Award-winning producer 9th Wonder just re-released The Wonder Years, and it's tasty. The album includes cameos from many big names in hip hop (Blu, Mac Miller, Murs, Raekwon, and Talib Kweli to name a few), all sown together over Wonder's amazing beats. I definitely suggest checking the album out if you like "Piranhas" (below)
Mezzala, voce dei Numero 6 , se ne esce con il primo videoclip estratto dal suo debutto solista su Urtovox previsto per settembre e intitolato Il problema di Girarsi . Nella vasca coi Piranha viene diffuso insieme ad un comunicato stampa "fake" dove si parla di tre mesi di lavorazione, duecento persone coinvolte e via dicendo. Di seguito il video e il comunicato stampa integrale. Clicca qui per vedere il video incorporato. E' un Mezzala raggiante quello che parla del [...]
I happened across that fascinating little video this week sometime, and it's a really odd mixture of hypnotic, fascinating and really quite unsettling. The video is simply a plot of nuclear explosions over time, and despite being ten minutes in length, is nevertheless really difficult to turn away from. What's particularly disturbing is watching how a flurry of test detonations in any one country seems to trigger a retaliatory fit of posturing in another. It's also kind of chilling to watch the increases in activity triggered by events like the Cuban Missile Crisis. It's easy to [...]
Nouveau Palais - Drama (Piranha Piranha Rethink)*FREE DL by Dan Solo I've raved about these boys and their epic Modern Math night , and their solid crew of attractive and talented DJs (especially the super sexy Typist and Crimson.) , and even posted a remix or two , so here is a little more. Straying from the current hype of what is now known as 'Brostep' (that didn't take too long) and in to the much [...]
As far as music styles go The Watcha Clan's album Radio Babel can definitely be ranked amongst one of the most eclectic I've listed too. The Marseille based trio's soulful funky ensemble of songs such as With or Without The Wall and We are one combined with the more dancey uplifting numbers such as 'Hasnaduro', songs going deep into their Jewish and Algerian heritages like 'Im Nin'alua' and a slamming drum and bass number like Fever is Rising. The beauty of this album is that despite the combination of all these [...]

Piranha Why do major studios spend big money to make B-movies? Attempting to recapture that "it's so bad that it's good" appeal which certain B-movies have is rarely achieved by today's standards. Sure there have been exceptions, most notably Black Dynamite and, to a lesser extent, Machete. Yet more often than not the films end up being plain silly. This is evident when you watch films such as Drag Me to Hell , My Bloody Valentine 3D and the recent release [...]
Torrent di Ottobre The Loved Ones, Sean Byrne (2009) E tipo un anno che film gira i festival di tutto il globo portandosi dietro tanti commenti positivi e negativi e leggere in giro sembra che nessuno abbia visto lo stesso film, il che è un bene (credo). E' un film australiano e già vi ho detto che gli australiani sono PAZZI e che i loro film sono bellissimi anche se brutti, quindi figuratevi quando un film australiano è bello per davvero. Non so se rendo l'idea. Forse è il caso [...]
MR. GEOGRAPHY and DAN SOLO make PIRANHA PIRANHA . They make dubstep, dnb, and hail from Calgary, Alberta, Canada. You dig? Of course you do! I always blah blah blah about how great they are, and how shocked I am that dubstep and bass music has taken off in this town. On CJSW or in the clubs, a wobble or a n amen break is not such a shocking appearance. This remix mashes the moody slow-down of Fever Ray with the JUMP UP sound of Drum [...]
This is the beginning of a themed series of posts, starting with the 2010 FA Cup Final. The theme ? Ska I love this music and when I posted an England/World Cup song by The Skatoons the other day, I started to look for more footie & ska music connections. Then with some perfect timing... I received an email about another England/WC/Ska song, which I'll be posting in a few days. Let's get started [...]
My eternal gratitude once again goes out to dear friend Jason Willett of the True Vine. Exposing me to yet another instant favorite, in early December he introduced me to two valued recent acquisitions for the store: Jean-Pierre Massiera's Psychoses compilations spanning 1963-1978 and 1976-1981. Massiera is a French renaissance man and cult favorite who has worn the hat of producer, engineer, comoser & musician, and charted his own unique career in music. Massiera cut his teeth as an instrumentalist, forming his first band, instrumental surf-rock peddlers Les Milords, in 1962. By 1967, Massiera switched [...]

We all have a musical mentor. Our parents always play a big role I think, and I've already given my pal James Strath quite enough praise on these pages already, so it's time to mention someone else: my cousin Steve. Steve is quite a bit older than me - about twelve years or so, I [...]
A quick glance at the shorter Oxford informs us that this is a voracious South American freshwater fish, just the sort of thing you expect to find as guest star in cheaper horror films. A web search will yield buckets full of sites dedicated to fish with the very occasional mention to the band of the same name that emerged from the murky waters of UK coastal resort Brighton at the tail end of the seventies. The Town was at this time very unfashionable, these being the years b.c. (before Creation, I hasten to add the label and not the [...]
