The tiny release featuring only two tracks 'So Lifelike' both feat Villa Nah and the Radio Edit as well as 'Project 22 is amazing in many [...]
Helsinki 78-82 is a project by Top Billin team members Flipper & Koobra, who've always been active and always been down to bring something new to the label. This EP will hit you real good when you're cruising the streets at night with the top down - no words needed. In a manner Michael Mann would be proud of. ' So Lifelike ' is a 'sort of' remake of Lifelike 's great ' So Electric (under permission)', although this time it comes with vocals from their Helsinki new [...]
Helsinki 78-82 is a project by Top Billin team members Flipper & Koobra, who've always been active and always been down to bring something new to the label. While Flipper is part of the Top Billin dj team and has always been the most high-flying of us, so no wonder the the new 12" is some musical bliss that'll leave you feeling that good good. This is what we call Big City House music, when you're cruising the streets at night with the top down - no words needed. In a manner Michael Mann would be proud [...]

Making an economy-sensitive move, Universal Studios Home Entertainment on Tuesday repackaged the Jason Bourne movie trilogy on a set of have-it-both-ways discs. The so-called "flipper disc" enables spy fans who don't own a Blu-ray player to watch the films now on standard DVD while archiving the product in a high-def format for future use. Starring Matt Damon, The Bourne Identity, The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum deserve repeat viewings for their collective role in jump-starting the espionage action genre during the '00s. Sold individually (suggested retail price $30, $15.50 on Amazon.com ), each double-duty [...]

maybe it's raining; everything's slick and viscous. maybe it's just tears spooling out of twitchy ducts. today i'm wednesday and clozapine gauzed. being held together by steroids and nicotine. can i differentiate between a fizzing fist of honey bees or a gluey flush of storm clouds? this strategy of amelioration, purple and apoplectic, ain't working. i'm cocaine fragile, in ways willing that lead inexorably to enucleation; scooped and spooned and sloppily mopped up. this wretched worst , this medicinal skin of neural un-enhancers, grabbing gutstrings and numbing stagnant glans, man it's the business. [...]
1990 in London At home With Nazz, faking a handstamp so we could sneak into a club 5 years ago today I got the call that my buddy Vin died. An aneurysm. I woulda bet on liver failure, or getting hit by a car. If you're lucky in life, you get a friend that you can really consider your brother. Well, I got lucky. [...]

The Max Levine Ensemble / Mass Sterilization / Occult Detective Club (605 Texas St. in Denton): This all-punk lineup of bands includes touring act The Max Levine Ensemble, who were somewhat famously dissed by Ben Weasel on his radio show last year, and that makes yet another instance where the only thing notable about Ben Weasel is that he made fun of some band. Pop punk vocals really grate on me so The Max Levine Ensemble isn't really my thing, but I find it hilarious that Ben Weasel makes fun of anyone, considering [...]
Francis Harold & the Holograms hide who they are and where they come from but L.A. RECORD still ran into them at Vinyl Solution. They sound like hellrock in hell with Debris, Crime, Flipper and the Electric Eels. They brought their own blood to a later photo shoot, but ended up using the L.A. RECORD stock blood instead. This interview by Janet Housden.
A year's worth of new music is like a mountain-sized pile of garbage: most of it stinks, it's ridiculously easy to get trapped underneath an avalanche, and more dross is piled on top every day. Yet you attempt to climb to the apex of the heap where the freshest garbage lies. Some of it, in fact, might not even be garbage at all, but treasure! Oh, it's a steep and treacherous climb, no doubt about that. The mountain is a real challenge for even the most experienced dumpster diver. But, luckily, you've got tools to aid in your [...]

On Far , Regina Spektor drags the wallflowers out onto the empty dance floor as she explores themes of social isolation and human connectivity amidst jaunty, rollicking piano and playful lyrics. Her disarming humor shatters any tension or awkwardness, and like the best jokes, it often contains a kernel of truth. Reminds us of: Nellie McKay | friending | miniatures | Flipper Regina Spektor: ( Official / Myspace ) Regina Spektor [...]
While our focus has always been on interviewing great musicians, we're voracious readers with a penchant for great books about music. To that end, we're going to spend some more time talking to the authors of these books and letting them share their stories with our new feature: "Your New Favorite Book". You'll find that we're barely able to scratch the surface on some of these, but they're a great introduction and have the TDOA seal of approval. That means: run out and buy these books promptly! The impact of San Francisco punk [...]
I'm not really sure there is much to say about this download, other than it's Flipper (so it's fucking awesome)and the title sums up the contents of the tape. So instead, I'll let Mark Prindle introduce the band to those of you who do not already know Flipper. He's much funnier and way more knowledgeable than I am. "Flipper was one of the leading punk rock bands over in San Francisco in the early- to mid-80s, giving a big "frig you" to the rest of the punk scene by playing a louder SLOWER mess of the blues that [...]
- Bon, faisons le point. Depuis que nous avons baissé la TVA à 5,5%, est-ce que le chômage a baissé ? - Non chef ! - Les tarifs des repas ont baissé, eux ? - Non chef ! - Mouais... Voilà ce qu'on va faire : nous allons faire semblant de remonter la TVA à 19,6% pendant une demi-journée, là les restaurateurs vont flipper leur race, ils vont embaucher à fond pendant 10 heures, baisser le prix des entrecôtes, et hop, on annonce que non, finalement, on laisse les choses en l'état.

When people ask me who my close friends are, I always say you four. I just want to let you know that I'm feeling good. At first, moving back home with my parents was ridiculous. My mom ignored me for four days, I'd mope and yearn, and feel deprived of life. Lately I've been feeling fucking awesome. I rearranged my room, put up [...]
Yeah, I know: Halloween was shite. There was no candy, no costumes and no fat turd stepping on a paper bag full of poo. Just another day. Of course I'm talking about you. Not me. I'm like a completely different breed of party animal, yo ( vodkatus yumalotus , they call me). So yeah, my Halloween was so totally bodacious, like every other Friday night, except that the stripper costumes were actually compulsory (usually only the Y-strings are). But so anyways, back to you. Yes you, the fat turd with poo-stained feet. You've got almost one [...]
