A LIFE IN A YEAR OF GIGS : #1 : THE GLASGOW HIP-HOP SCENE As explained yesterday, 2012 is going to be the year of the live gig for TVV with your humble scribe and his sidekick Aldo doing all we can to give you a flavour of all sorts of music in the raw from all sorts of venues. We decided to dive-in at the deep end. In some ways we had no choice given how few live gigs are put on during the first week of any January. There was an option [...]
The Guinness Jazz festival returns to Cork City this bank holiday weekend (28th- 31st), bringing with it some of the biggest names in the business. This year's line up offers a more eclectic mix, with genre legends sharing the bill with the likes of Dan le Sac and Ghostpoet. With over 70 venues set up throughout the city, revellers can spend four days flowing from bar to bar on a wave of offbeat rhythms. Sure to be the source of innumerable "I was there man" anecdotes for years to come, here are some of this weekend's unmissable performances: [...]
Een bekentenis: ik word erg gelukkig als een artiest in de songtekst van zijn liedje een verwijzing naar een ander liedje verstopt. Een klein regeltje of een paar woorden zijn genoeg. Bijna net zo fijn is een namecheck van een band of artiest. Laat ik er gewoon een paar noemen

If you haven't heard of Dan le Sac vs. Scroobius Pip yet then you really have missed something special. They are one of the finest groups to come out of England in a long time. The mixture of Dan le Sac's beats along with Scroobius Pip's spoken word poetry produced one of the high points of the British music scene in the last few years. Their debut album Angles is a mixture of Hip-Hop and Electro that cuts right to the core of modern society. While the album speaks a lot of home truths it's overall quite enjoyable [...]

Suppose if you're going to remix your biggest hit you might as well get one of De La Soul in, eh?
Yeah, yeah, I'm a sucker for an accent. But I'm digging the duo of dan le sac vs Scroobius Pip not just because of their British accents, but because they're actually quite good -- some well-thought out hip-hop that...
The Dan Le Sac Vs. Scroobius Pip cd was released officially in the States this past Tuesday. It's some pretty addictive spoken word over electronic beats. A lot edgier than The Streets!

ARTIST: Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip TRACK: "Thou Shalt Always Kill" ALBUM: Angles LABEL: Lex Records / Strange Famous COMMENTS: Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip... Just a band.
Was listening to this track for the first time in quite a while today. Great track, so here's the video for anyone else who hasn't heard it in a while or who missed it first time around. I may post it in next week's playlist, no promises yet though, we'll see how it goes.
Dan Le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip have been getting a lot of run on my mp3 player lately. I know they've been all around the web, with last year's Thou Shalt Always Kill , but I've never mentioned them here. So, just getting kinda pumped on them and looking forward to seeing them at an up-and-coming U.S. festival this year. Dizzee Rascal's Fix Up, Look Sharp will always be an all-timer with me, (not that much else he's done will be) so biting that, cutting it up and having fun [...]
If you read a lot of music blogs you get the impression that next week everyone is heading to South by Southwest. (And putting on a day party.) Which isn't true. More don't than do, I think. But if you live in NYC you can reap the benefits of a lot of UK/European bands stopping on their way to or from the festival. The bands also tend to play normal length shows in New York, as opposed to 30-minute, wham-bam sets at SxSW. Add a trip to Hill Country or Fette Sau before one of these shows, and it will [...]
How did I miss this first time around?! Rest easy, oh searching searchers and questioning questioners, thou hast found your oracle. Also, he's totally right about Hollyoaks - that show is like crack . Just say no, kids. Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip - Thou Shalt Always Kill Currently touring the UK ; coming to New York in March. Get ye out and see them play! [...]
Dan Le Sac vs. Scroobius Pip Thou shall not read this post in bloglines or other desktop readers and merely injest the information without actually downloading the track below and putting it into itunes. Who knows? Maybe you'll stumble on the track in the tube when your iPOD's on shuffle and decide not to go to that horrific day job you hate and start making the world a better place. Dan Le Sac vs. Scroobius Pip .... NOT just a band. Thou shalt not [...]

Dan LeSac Vs. Scroobius Pip ...pop culture hackers. Here they are hijacking Britain's X-Factor for their own nefarious purposes (and BBC Radio 1 listeners might recognize Zane Lowe 's announcing at the end...) And for those not already familiar (and if you've listened to Altrok Radio over the past year, you should be...) here's "Thou Shalt Always Kill": [...]
Thou shalt not steal if there is direct victim. Thou shalt not worship pop idols or follow lost prophets. Thou shalt not take the names of Johnny Cash, Joe Strummer, Johnny Hartman, Desmond Decker, Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix or Syd Barrett in vain. Thou shalt not think any male over the age of 30 that plays with a child that is not their own is a pedophile - Some people are just nice. Thou
Somehow Colorado made the top list of only 4 U.S. cities that Dan le Sac vs Scroobius Pip are hitting in December (full dates below). I find this unclassifiable duo from London to be nothing short of intriguing, and I will eagerly go to their show if only for a much-needed change of pace -- " Thou shalt not make boring, repetitive music " indeed. Even though it's been seven months since I first posted their video for "Thou Shalt Always Kill" ( dubbed by NME as their Track of the [...]

A: Then you may very well have trouble enjoying this goofy British video, by Dan le Sac vs Scroobius Pip , in which the duo establishes the genre of grime -novelty (hereafter grovelty ). The song: "Thou Shalt Always Kill". I particularly agree with them vis-à-vis music and poetry, tragedies that occur in non-English-speaking countries, and Radiohead . [via Kevin ]
