UNKLE, White Hills, Sick Boy, One EskimO, Aphex Twin, loos Cannons, Mamarazzi,Mobius Band, Miike Snow, Gorillaz, The Bundles, Foreign Born


UNKLE
Natural Selection (feat. The Black Angels)
Offered as a peek inside their forthcoming album, Where Did The Night Fall, “Natural Selection” sees UNKLE swapping drone blasts with Texan lid-flippers The Black Angels, sounding not unlike a chemically-aided descent into the labyrinthine nether regions of your brain.

White Hills
Dead
Apparently, in the middle of “Dead,” drummer Kid Millions, drops a drumstick. The band say the flub “ended up adding an new dimension to the song,” which is funny because we can’t hear it at all. Regardless, this is super heavy—almost trance-inducingly so—and you should download it to explore other possible dimensions.

Foreign Born
Early Warnings (Rostam Batmanglij’s ‘Boys Like Us’ Remix)
LA’s Foreign Born gets a befitting balmy rinse courtesy of Vampire Weekend’s own Rostam Batmanglij, finally proving that California and outer space are one and the same. We’re breaking out the daiquiris and space paste, because this take on “Early Warnings” blasts the original’s smiling holiday escapism right into the moon.

The Bundles
Pirates Declare War
The Bundles are a supergroup for the low-brow indie set, anchored in the friendship of former Moldy Peach/Juno soundtracker Kimya Dawson and New York anti-folk luminary/comic book artist Jeffrey Lewis. “Pirates Declare War,” ruminates on Funyuns and Cheetos and sounds, unsurprisingly, like infantile basement punk.

Gorillaz
Stylo (feat. Mos Def and Bobby Womack) (Chiddy Bang Remix)
Things we learn in this remix of Gorillaz’ comeback single: Chiddy Bang’s Chidera Anamege was small when he was a child, the Philadelphian rap duo don’t play free shows, “electric is the moon”. Could these apparently disparate phenomena be in any way connected? I don’t think anyone will ever really know.

Miike Snow
Silvia (Hook N Sling & Goodwill Remix)
You’re aware of Miike Snow’s predilection for remixes, so what makes this offering from Australians Hook N Sling and Goodwill distinct? It’s the first time we’ve heard them reimagined as fodder for fist-pumping mega DJs, the ones used to hammering hangar-sized Ibizan crowds with sweeping, build-up-endowed house music.

OOO, It's YOUNG MULA BABY

I don’t even know WHERE to begin with this abortion of an excuse for lyrics and a song. Now, I am a big old school hip hop fan as well as some of the new guys such as J-5, E-LP, Atmosphere, as well as Gangstarr, Public Enemy, Disposable Heoroes of Hiphoprasy as well as many other really talented writers, there are a lot of underrated and brilliant writers out there spinning out tunes to pieces of poetry, Saul Williams, another great example, even Nas, but this printed above represents to me the polar opposite to a genre that can also infuriate as well as elucidate in equal measure. How this was given money to be recorded and some marketing exec deemed this good enough to be inflicted upon the world…..they should be shot….this is the worst bit of lyricism I have ever read, this represents all that is wrong with hip hop at the moment, mindless sexist arrogant self serving, boastful talentless. The delivery is laughable as well, an absolute low point in hip hop history! PLEASE Young Money, I am sure you have a mamma that loves you, and people around you that care about you, for your own safety, please stop making music forthwith this is absolutely the worst thing I have ever heard, REALLY please cease and desist from polluting our airwaves and ears. DREADFUL to the EXTREME!!! I’d rather have my eye poked out slowly with a blunt knife than listen to this!!!
It's a travesty that the music industry has allowed this to be thrust upon the great morass!!

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
Conscience Killer
With “Conscience Killer”, the trio fall back on the floorboard-rattling fuzz assault of their first two records, albeit with shades of the gospel-focused brilliance they found on 2005’s Howl. Basically, it’s classic B.R.M.C.—a retro-futurist blues canonball that will leave you completely blitzed and thoroughly converted.
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Conscience Killer


Magic Wands
Warrior (The xx Remix)
This remix for Magic Wands’ “Warrior”, has been lovingly endowed by the xx’ers with drums that sound like huge cardboard boxes being beaten with mops. Also kinda sounds like that new Sade single, which is awesome.

Wu-Tang Clan
Early Grave (feat. ODB & Bad Luck)
An album of rare and spruced up Wu-Tang material produced and arranged entirely by Mathematics and featuring vocals from all thirteen members is kind of like a big deal. Because really, songs like “Early Grave”, with an excavated verse from the late, great, totally inimitable O.D.B., don’t come around, well, ever.
Wu-Tang Clan - Early Grave (feat. ODB & Bad Luck)


Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings
I Learned The Hard Way
Why you would try to play Sharon Jones is beyond us. Like, have you never heard this woman sing? Do you not know that she rolls with the Dap Kings? Did you think you would not wind up the subject of a scornful—if totally “I’m over you and better for it”—song of hers? We’re both baffled at your stupidity and relishing the fruit it’s born.
Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings - I Learned The Hard Way
Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings

Miike Snow
Billie Holiday
Once more, the Swedish/American combo impossibly straddle the line between reflective and epic, massaging vocals with deep echo and sweeping in strings and synths to brush out the melancholy even further. It’s songs like these that render sub-genres meaningless.
Miike Snow - Billie Holiday

Wu-Tang Clan
Shake (prod. by Cool & Dre)
In a world of blipster collabos and positive vibes, only Game knows what’s really at the heart of hip-hop: beef. As a lyricist, he’s clashed against everyone from G-Unit to Suge Knight, and in the horn-heavy “Shake,” he’s spitting fire. He’s also laying pipe, smacking down, and hating on 50 Cent’s jiggling, protein-enhanced pecs.
Wu-Tang Clan - Shake (prod. by Cool & Dre)


Poirier
Kalima Shop Titi (feat. Boogat) (Lagartijeando Remix)
Since our Spanish is on the weak side, we have no idea what Boogat is actually saying over Poirier’s beat, which sounds like industrial reggaeton, but hopefully it involves more talk about ripping dudes’ hearts out because that is stuff we need to hear more about (in songs, not real life). It came out today with a refit by Lagartijeando, who made everything sound dirtier and scrunched-up and veritably awesome.

AVATAR: Second worst movie I have ever heard (the seeing part was stunning)


So, our largest ever rollover Lotto was won on Friday, it was the equivalent to US$11,5 million which is a huge amount of money in anyone’s books. Firstly, just putting it out there that I didn’t win it, naturally I am devastated, HOWEVER it was won by a deaf mute cleaner aged 51 years old from the Western Cape, how fucking cool is that??? Well done, my only question is how did he react? Did he write “FUCK YEAH” on a piece of paper?

NOW, yesterday, we went to see Avatar….now with ALL the hype and the fact that it is now the highest grossing movie in the history of the planet AND the fact that it took Mr. Cameron about 9000 years to complete and write out of the confines and strictures of Hollywood, I was expecting to be dazzled and to come away with the sense that I had seen a glimpse of the future.
Whilst visually stunning, this movie truly is a visual feast of incredible beauty and is truly something to behold, however, I am loath to say this but the script has to be the second worst script I have ever had the misfortune to sit through!! It has now bumped Before Sunrise (admittedly only because it was the most boring, pointless non-entity of a movie I have ever seen, I like to refer to it as a No-Pace Movie), as the second worst movie I have ever seen off its proud perch notoriously sitting pretty above the worst piece of moviemaking in history: BATTLEFIELD EARTH, John Revolting’s 9 million hour scientologist wank-fest pseudo claptrap bore-fest, truly a low-point in the history of humanity. (Oh, and a little side point to you Mr. Travolta and scientologists in general.....thank you for flying in your supplies of food and medical supplies and doctors etc, but FUCK YOU for taking four scintologist priests with you to further fuck up the lives of these poor people with your crap quasi-religion)

Well, why did I hate Avatar, you might ask?? The movie angered the crap out of me, how could someone have labored so long, spent so much money and create a visual masterpiece and then come up with the laziest, cliché ridden “American hero” dumbed down script ever committed to paper. I pity the trees that had to be destroyed to contain the ink that wrote that crap. The acting was terrible, not a believable performance anywhere to be seen, the most believable performance I saw the entire day was the guy who served me ice-cream and coffee before I went to see the movie, he was trying to convince me to give him my ticket so that he could see it in 3D, for that I would have received free coffee, in retrospect I should have caffeined-up instead, at least I would have had a buzz!!

Why oh why did there have to be a hero speech? Why did he crib storylines from elsewhere? The most common consensus is Pocahontas on a different planet, Ferngully has been mentioned, there's also Dances With Smurfs mentioned (thanks Dom, I LOL'ed).

The human relationships were handled shockingly, the hero is one second hated and reviled by Sigourney Weavers character (and I use that term loosely) and in the next scene without any background bonding etc they are like best of frends (forgive my Paris Hiltonism there, I think my brain is still trying to recover from being dumbed down). The editing in the movie was dreadful, now for someone trying to create a labour of love visual masterpiece, why steal so many idea from past. It was like watching a space aged Jurassic Park with visual ideas stolen from Hayao Miyazaki and countless other Manga slabs of awesomeness (naturally Hollywood gets most of their ideas from Japan and the East in general) with the storyline cribbed from the aforementioned (and superior) movies. ALSO, if you are going to spout new age hippie bullshit claptrap at least make it something with depth and back it up as well as develop it.

This movie was like watching two completely disparate movies in one, one was stunning (visually) and one left my brain in a brain-sludged stupor with all the terrible dialogue. The hero was useless, about as believable as Chemical (Comical) Ali claiming defiantly that they were defeating the Americans when it was obvious that they were closing in.

Favourite part of the movie? When the hero (Sam Worthington) shouts out “Oooooh Rarrrrr” on the back of the big dino-birdosaurus thingymabob (not)!! The countless chest-thumping hero (squirm inducing) speeches delivered without any feeling, ALSO WHEN Sam Worthington’s love rival for the chickypoo (whom, I am not sure if anyone noticed, her war paint was the South African flag, HAHAHHAHH) suddenly developed an American accent whilst flying around with a machine gun (or whatever) fighting the evil American Military). ALSO, Sigourney Sigourney Sigourney, WHAT were you thinking??? You are normally so good! And Giovanni Ribisi, you have done nothing to change my viewpoint on your inferior acting skills.

Clunkiest script I have ever heard, some of the worst acting I have ever seen. Really, a shocker of a movie, I for one will be happy if it doesn’t win any awards at all but then that is just wishful thinking. Go to wiki to read the “plot” and all about it and once again, I use the word Plot loosely.

This movie should come with an IQ Restriction, ie those with a higher than average, or even an average IQ should not be allowed to see it as it insults our intelligence and lowers your intelligence rating by a few points. It angered me because it felt like he was taking the piss….16 years in development REALLY Mr. Cameron, you could have come up with something FAR better than “Lets Boogie”! For that and the Oooooh Rarrrr moment you should be tarred and feathered!!!!!

PLEASE don’t make another movie sir, I hated Titanic and I think this is even worse……the only thing that I am thankful about Avatar though is that Celine fucking Dion didn’t do the soundtrack, I think I would have off’ed myself!

I could go on, but I won't...and whilst I am ranting, has anyone other than me also noticed how much Jarred Letto sounds like Enrique Iglesias?? No?? Yes?? In case you haven't worked it out, it's not a compliment......

The Magnetic Fields
The Book Of Love
“The Book Of Love” was one of the ballad-y high points for The Magnetic Fields’ 69 Love Songs—lead brain Stephen Merritt plucking away at his ukulele and baritoning through a rumination on love’s accepted history. In the hands of most, that would be totally boring. Here, it’s anything but.

The Secret Machines
Terrible Light
The Secret Machines get mental in this new orchestral rock b-side, where frontman Brandon Curtis gives his most swinging metal-lite to date. In “Terrible Light,” the drums lumber down, the electric wails seep black, and by final boom of the prog-rock stomp, you’ll vow never, ever to let these guys use your basement.
The Secret Machines - Terrible Light

Free Energy
Dark Trance
“Dark Trance” is the ballad of Stuck On Nothing, Free Energy’s still-forthcoming debut LP. There are doubled guitar lines and lines like “Kid, the love we got / The light we’re on / Burns bright tonight / Come on”, which means this is ready-made for our younger siblings’ prom night necking and our general, constant desire to regress to those times.

RCRD LBL:
Older stuff, from a week ago, haven’t had a chance to do them, so better late than never:

Adam Green
Castles And Tassels
For “Castles And Tassels,” Adam Green pairs a seemingly nonsensical, though thoroughly entertaining, narrative with boggy, mushrooming swamp-folk. If the Keebler elves threw house parties (tree parties?), this is what they would sound like.

Shy Child
Disconnected (Ocelot Remix)
While Shy Child wait out the lead time for their new LP, Liquid Love, transatlantic beat partnership Ocelot affix their gaze on its new single, “Disconnected,” tastefully swapping crystallized chords for rolling, wormy arpeggios and a thicker, more mechanical backbone.

Monday, February 8, 2010

New stuff tomorrow (Massive Attack, Yeasayer Alan Wilkis Remix, Hot Chip, Heroes of Popular Wars) I lied, there's stuff today as well...

Music has been piling up in my inbox, I am procrastinating, yes, I know, but Ihave had a hectic few days: Was sitting at a bar on thursday, my fiend Aragorn walks past and says, "Hey Greg, my dj for my Balkanarky party on Friday night has pulled out, can you play?" "Why of Course Aragorn, I will".....naturaly I don't have any Balkan music, SOOOO, a day of downloading and searching ensued.....
Thursday night we pop into Kitcheners after drinking in first Greenside, then the fanTASTic Bowling club...walk in Andrew the DJ says..."Greg, my dj hasn't pitched, can you play?" "Why YES Andrew, of course I will", I go to my car and get my music and play acool set untill the actual DJ pitches.
Friday night comes, Greg storms it, gets the peeps jumping and screaming to my freshly d/loaded and new to me tracks at the Balkanarky party. An awesome time was had by all.
Saurday morning comes along, phone rings..it's Cavan, new owner of Gin "Greg, I know it's short notice but the response from last few weeks has been so phenomenal can you guys now play at Gin every Sat afternoon?" to whit, Response: "Why of COURSE Cavan, I would love to" so yes, played there.....thats not the end of it though, as on FRIDAY my good friend Dom reminded me of a drunken convo a week or so before stating that I would play at Kitcheners on Sat night before and after some band called Jozi Allstars...whom turned out to suck balls really, dreadful....nice people though....ANYHOO, the long and the short of it was that I played there as well after Gin, and rocked it out too, in fact peeps wanted me to play on instead of the band, hahahhaahahaha, at least their back-up dancers were entertaining. Some journo asked my details as he loved what I was doing and was REALLY surprised that I don't have a CD out......anyhoo, what comes with DJing is LOTS of free drinks...AND coupled together with the fact that I have for over a week not been taking my Anti - Depo pills (by choice, fuckem) I am feeling a bit fragile...naturaly, I was still able to go and play my weekly tennis match against my brother at 8am on sunday morning (25km drive from my home) AND tonight I am playing indoor football with my mates, AND spent a large part of yesterday afternoon into evening drinking lots again at an awesome Mexican restaurant and then again at the Bowling Club....I may just be superhuman afterall.
Well, another week up ahead, not sure what else will go on in my life, but rest assured that it WILL be random and it WILL be exciting.
Well, this diatribe serves to state as to why I am late with my blog and have been sitting on all the lovely music, but FEAR NOT,I will be posting all the lovely music for you tomorrow.....
In the mean time, have this: Massive Attack - Paradise Circus feat Hope Sandoval (Gui Borrato Mix) and of course I couldn't let you all go now without giving you THIS new nugget of awesomeness from Hot Chip called Take It In and of course there's more..like the insanely talented Alan Wilkis has sent me his wicked new remix of Yeasayer - Ambling Alp (Alan Wilkis Remix) AND Heroes of Popular Wars sent me this cool new vid of their new track "It's A Doozy"

COOL, so we are now in the second month of 2010, the world cup is hurtling towards us at a viscious rate of knots. The Gods have been angry and have been throwing the most amount of rain on our heads than I ever thought possible. People are still elegantly falling apart, the pain hasn't stopped, for any of us!! Love is a hard place to be in currently. 20 years ago today FW De Klerk announced the unbanning of the ANC and all other banned groups and that NELSON MANDELA was to be freed, truly a great day in our history, we have come SOOOO far since then. Crime has quadruppled, etc etc etc, but its STILL a great country to live in!! Anyhoo, here's to love happiness, success, joy, peace and other stuff.....
