YEAH

YES

Into Orbit

2010 is fast approaching and just waiting to explode next year is Peter O'Grady aka Joy Orbison...

Orbsion has created a sound which resembles early 90's garage beats, but has a dreamy / melodic twist. Unlike other artists with similar styles, such as Pariah, or to some extent Burial. Orbison keeps an upbeat tempo to most of his tracks making them much more club friendly and less likely to send you into the depths of depression. Great for sticking on in your headphones and escaping reality for a bit.

Check out this stunning remix of Four Tets - Love Cry

And...This, for me, has to be the tune of 2009 - Hyph Mngo

Joy Orbison

An interesting combo of a package...

This man...

is fucking hilarious even whilst trying to be cultured. Definitely gonna throw in some self-undermining contradictions into my arguments from now on...

Some nice contemporary music

Some truly nice music that has perfectly complimented the summers of 08/09

Two weeks - Grizzly Bear

Lovely band, check em out on their myspace and in this a capella video (the singer is Adrian Brody's Indian cousin).

Then watch some nOOb kids absolute pwn them with their own version

Feather - Little Dragon

Yet another tasty slice of music from Sweden, and yet another band with an animal in their name, check out their American counterparts the Lucky Dragons. Other memorable songs include Twice and Blinking Pigs. Once again, check out their myspace.

These are my Twisted Words - Radiohead

New song

Irene - Caribou

Nice song nice video

Well now...

along with this blog's trend of notifying the public on the finest internet sites to make you smile, we bring you this...

Me Wants One!

Its brothers and sisters can be found here

some music

seeing as this is a music blog, maybe its about time we put up some fucking songs?

Basic Space (The XX remix) - The XX

Gold Dust (Boy-8-Bit Remix) - Devil's Gun

In Love with You - The Paradise

Fertile Turtle

Apparently the hugely popular DJ Cristo doesn't find this video funny, but rather reminiscent of his asthma plagued youth..........either way, just watch that little naked smile.....

The North American Humping Tortoise - Watch more Funny Videos

The Future?

Despite it being unable to make any interesting "new" sounds, this still looks like a barrel'o'laughs. Rumour has it Bjork is playing with one now, most likely whilst building pyramids out of dwarves at the top of a Haitian Volcano.

Remix of Fever Ray a la Naked Smiles

It was promised and now its delivered, albeit totally half-baked, but whatever, it will probably never be finished:

If I had a Heart (NAK:-D SMILES REMIX) - Fever Ray

SONAR 2009

thoroughly enjoyable festival albeit a bit harsh on the pockets; thought it would scour youtube to provide a tasting menu of  a few of the best moments:

In order of amazingabilityness:

1. Sebastian - his first live set, was probably one of the most dramatic dance sets I had ever seen. From the black monolith to the chain-smoking to the hundreds of psycho Sebastian masks to the speeding furious electro, every moment has been permanently etched somewhere in my mind (im still having flashbacks).

2. MULATU ASTATKE & THE HELIOCENTRICS - anyone who has seen the film Broken Flowers starring Bill Murray will know of this bands snake-charm like...erm...charm? They played an awesome set at glastonbury last year, but seeing them at Sonar they were honestly one of the best live bands I had seen in a long long time. This video has terrible sound quality, but gives you an idea of the intensity of their improv.

3. Micachu and the Shapes - unfortunately no videos up, so check this one out to get an idea.

4. Deadmau5 -  polished off the end of Sonar with a europhic set. Not exactly was probs the highlight at the end, and despite claiming to hate all dj's the canadian rodent managed to work in a few mash ups and mixs (including a sneaky little daft punk number)

Late of the Pier played a 20 minute shmeh set and crystal castles had no sound. crookers were better than usual and orbitol were awesome. grace jones is fucking mad and fucked up the schedule. Fever Ray is a shamanic wonder.

Time for Roskilde Festival

Peace

AMBIENCE

Cristo, of the Naked Smiles has given Popof's Elektric Circus a trippy ambient fix.

LADIES WATCH OUT

We all agreed that this may be the funniest thing EVER

fake cake

Nathan Fake, of Border Community fame (which we love because it is run by James Holden) is set to release a new album on the 18th of May. Like his recent previous work, and Holden's, their breed of electronic music effortlessly hops over the genre fences, and runs free into the open fields of playful, pure creativity; fresh and brimming with a jovial inquisitiveness.

reeee-meeeeeex

The Naked Smile has remixed Radiohead's 15 step.

so far this blog's growth has been more stunted than Gary Coleman's (no he didnt!?) so thought we would chuck on a little thing of pertinent and pleasurable life performances provided by the all-powerfull and ever-present youtube. enjoy

Bjork - Joga - ridiculous vocals / she fucking nails it
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6a4GVt_T8g

Kings of Leon - Trani - the only thing better than matthew shutting a car-boot on a camera man is Caleb choke-slamming a micro-phone stand

Radiohead - In rainbows - perform their new album on new years
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukythkK4EPQ&feature=channel_page
