hey, howdy, hi! in case y'all were wondering, yes, i am still watching parking wars. this thing has me sucked in like nothing else. i blame it on this massive head cold i am suffering through for my lack of better judgment or, to be honest, my taste in tv shows/movies arent really on par with my taste in music. anyway, here is exactly what the title suggests. got a request for this to be re-upped, and here it is.... thanks to the original taper.... the [...]
top of the sunday morning, y'all! today is really a bummer, i must admit. my football season is over. of course my bears were never really a factor, well they were until cutler got hurt, but now that the saints lost, its done. sure, ill still watch the games, but my give a shit level is pretty low. much credit to the niners, man. never thought they had a chance, but as per usual what the hell do i know? oh, and couch by couchwest is starting back up shortly. there has been a facebook fan [...]
top of the morning! hope everyone's weekend was just swell. mine was just fine. made a trip down to new orleans to bring the kids to this thing they have called "miracle on fulton st." pretty much they put up this huge canopy on fulton st, and make it "snow." the "snow" actually looks like snow, but once you get close to it, its just bubbles. still the effect is pretty cool. needless to say, we get down there and as you guessed it, they didnt do it this year! son of a bitch! still it was nice to visit, [...]
You read that right: more than two years after launching the first line of MetalSucks merch, we are retiring these designs forever before doin' up some awesome new ones in 2012. That means if you've ever wanted a Sergeant D. t-shirt, or a Completely Unreadable hoodie, or one of those awesome skull shirts by Rodney Githens from Vertebrae 33 and Metal Band Art, well… this [...]
howdy, again! i had a few requests for a re-upping of this show spanning back a few months and since i am not busy at the moment, i figured what the hell? anyway, here is a particularly cool soundboard recording of a prince show from columbia, sc all the way back in 1981. even i, a non prince fan, could get into this. 1. uptown 2. why you want to treat me so bad 3. sexy dancer 4. [...]
oh glorious friday, you couldnt have come any sooner. well actually you could have but i wont hold it against ya. next week is a 3 day, which i need more than you know, but im sure most of you are in the same boat. in other news, it amazing how many glorious songs victoria williams has written but i just cant listen to them unless they are sung by others. anyway, i had a request for a repost of these and if they're easy to find i am more than willing. definitely the best modest mouse [...]
well, aint this a kick in the balls. im fairly confident that i told my wife to get the 15th of november off so i can attend this show. in fact, i know i told her to get it off. seeing as the one that now makes the schedules it should have been a no-brainer, but alas this is my space-case wife and i have come to live with it. still, just a little pissed, i must admit. so yeah, they're playing there tonight, and also are running a kicstarter campaign to help record and distribute their upcoming record entitled, [...]
We just posted Ill Poetic's new track "Numb" yesterday and I came across what I thought was a really informative article that shows just how talented Ill Po is. From Geoff Barrow of Portis Head in a "The Village Voice" interview : " Portishead has been dutifully sampled by the Wu-Tang Clan's RZA and a young Timbaland , not to mention flipped on records by Slick Rick [...]

You might remember that a few days ago we had a Carl Craig mix of Tori Amos. But it wasn't quite meeting the request, which was for mixes I'd deleted: the Carl Craig acapella mix and the CJ Bolland mix. A kind reader - sheedyjaye - has now provided them and I'm very grateful to her for so doing. But, in truth, the acapella mix is for DJs only and the Bolland mix just isn't a terribly good one because the vocals and beats don't aign. But, request now met. Tori Amos - [...]
I had a request to repost the Accapella or CJ Bolland mixes of Tori Amos' God track. Don't have either on hdd after a purge, so this will have to do. If anyone else downloaded either of the other versions from the previous posts, please send them my way and I'll re-up. Usual address: acidtedblog[at]googlemail.com. Thanks. The ever reliable Detroit don Carl Craig remixes the equally wonderful Tori Amos from 1993 single 'God'. I didn't think I'd posted this mix before. But it turns out I have (see here [...]
The blogs are buzzing with yesterday's announcement, via a terse yet sincere statement on their website , that Athens, GA hometown heroes R.E.M. are calling it quits after three decades on the road, the radio, and the cultural consciousness. We first covered the genre-defining band back in 2009, so rather than rehash their path from college radio to iconic mainstream success, we're taking the opportunity to revisit that older post today in memoriam - with a couple of bonus covers of Losing My Religion , from more recent CLD faves Amber Rubarth [...]
not sure whats going on, but i have received no less than 5 requests for this to be reposted in the past 2 days. first i thought he may have died, but tmz hadnt reported it and of course thats where i get all my news from. i have a shit-ton of new music to talk about in the coming hours, days, weeks. just trying to collect my thoughts so in the meantime... i want you my back pages dont think twice its alright [...]
Another Beloved repost request. Includes a mix of one of their big hits, The Sun Rising by Mark Pritchard. Originally a quartet whose sound drew inspiration from psychedelia, the Beloved found its greatest success as a rave-influenced dance-pop duo. In 1987, at much the same time as losing two members, Jon Marsh and Steve Waddington were falling under the sway of London's burgeoning rave community. After first re-emerging with the ambient-styled single "The Sun Rising" the Beloved then scored an international hit with "Hello" a bubbling techno exercise [...]
[pretend there's a picture here. wordpress is having a bad day] Following last week's Beloved post, there was a request for some more, so here's a repost from 3 years ago containing a relatively rare remix by US agit-prop industrialists Consolidated. More Beloved to follow later this week: Some early rave psychedelia from another group that had its head turned by the dance explosion in the late 1980s. Originally a quartet whose sound drew inspiration from psychedelia, the Beloved found its greatest success as a rave-influenced [...]
Saturday... all day without a post, and then I realized that I only have 11 days to get five more mixes up, so here it is #17. Mixed on a flight between Houston and Charlotte.

Got a request for some tracks last posted two and a half years ago. Eagles Prey on Guerilla Records. Expect progressive house. A bit of progressive House from back in the day on Guerilla Records. Eagles Prey was John Kennedy, Lee Grainge and Paul Coleman. I'm sure I only bought this because it was on Guerilla Records. This dates from 1993. Their bigger hit (and their only other release) was Tonto's Drum from 1992. This got a remix pack in 2001, including one by Darren Emerson). No idea why though. [...]
