Bang E.R.

Just a quick post on two bangers I got recently. First up "Axwell & Sebastian Ingrosso" feat. Salem el fakir. They got a newish tune out called "It's True". Pure niceness, feel good, gesture of happinness and love type thing. Axwell seems to one of my favourite wee fly boys these days....He's getting the right idea's.

Also, I caught my ear on to a decent version of Surkin's "Radio Fireworks" on someone myspace. Was bouncing in and out of my speakers, I sat there with just the profile open listening to it....That rarely happens when people request to be my friends. This track i'm puttiong up ain't exactly the same but it was the closest I could get...Enjoy.

Surkin- Radio Fireworks (909 Edit)

From The Rack: #1

To spice things up abit and also to give me a chance to realise "What actually do I have in my cd collection", I'm delving into the wonders of the rack which contains years of musical purchasing. This feature I warn could be really bad or possibly really good depending on the cd. It'll be educational none the less.



The first cd I have plucked from the rack is "On The Edge Of Forever" by a band called Ikon from Melbourne, Australia.

Lastfm says;
"The band was founded in 1991 from the ashes of another gothic rock band, Death in the Dark. by vocalist/guitarist and Church of Satan member Chris McCarter, bassist Dino Molinaro and (former) vocalist Michael Carrodus."

Jaysus, I got some sort of Satanist Goth band in my collection....I think it was a hit and hope buy down in universal one day. They've got sort of a Joy Division sound to them...For Goth Rock (which I know absolutely nothing about)....they're not too offensive to the ear. From reading the sleeve, I believe the album is based around the egyptian "Book Of The Dead", how nice. I shouldn't think they're gonna make a revival in my leisurely listening though.

Ikon- The Shallow Sea

Electric Picnic: Electrelane

The first real bit of post rock whimsical electro pop i've got into for a while...Electrelane who are gonna be playing the Picnic, are one to look out for if your looking for a nice sort of banging chilled experience....The band formed in Brighton in 1998 and is made up by four (good)indie chicks have released four albums, the most recent being released this year called "No Shouts No Calls". All four albums fuse together many styles creating envigorating tension building instrumentals while also popping out nice feel good melodic tracks. I can see me paying a definite visit to these girls, most likely early in the day....Nice summer feeling vibes.

Music Video:HARVEY NICKS (by The Mitchell Brothers)

The title of this post is inspired by the uploader of The Mitchell Brothers album. Apparently the genre of their "A Brand New Fresh Attire" album comes under "Porn Groove". It makes you wonder.

Anyways, today i'm featuring some 'griming and rhyming'. First up 'The Mitchell Brothers' who you can see in the 'Harvey Nicks' video above. Mates of 'The Streets'' Mike Skinner, these lads I reckon surpass him in a smoother way showing up Mike's jagged lyrical vocals. Although he does feature in the 'Harvey Nicks' video he is upstaged by the Brothers and Sway who is another unique London based talent. Check these tracks out...

The Mitchell Brothers- Harvey Nicks

The Mitchell Brothers- Alone With The TV

Before getting back home I got Dizzee Rascal's new album off a mate titled "Maths+English". It's a vast improvement compared to his last LP "Showtime" which seemed to lack any cutting edge production, "Dream" being the exception. "Maths+English" will definitly compete with "Boy In The Corner" as my personal favourite of his releases. Magooo put up the eighth track on the album "Da Feelin" which is a banger. So to be more useful I'll supply you with another. It's called "Bubbles", I love it, it's about his Nike Air's...

Dizzee Rascal- Bubbles

As if rednecks didn't have enough prejudices to worry about, they've found another one.

Idiot Pilot- Spark Plug

In Other News

Scratch Perverts released a mix album called Watch This Ride which I attained recently. Some quality tunes in an around the rap/electro/grunge categories. This one track would be my favourite from the session, in which Tomcraft's 'Lonelieness' is used brilliantly as the backdrop to some immaculate rhymes by Akala and Skinnyman.

Akala ft. Skinnyman- Shakespeare

It seems that i'm growing a collection of Global Underground releases. The most recent being the three disc album packed with quality smooth yet banging electro dance tunes. Advertisements for the album featured this next song, of which was all was needed to make their point of what masters of creating a VA album they are.

Gabriel & Dresden Feat. Jan Burton- New Path (Jim Rivers Remix) from GU Mixed

To finish a personal classic from my boys from Orbital. Since the lads broke up the partnership, Paul and Phil Hartnol have kept themselves busy with their own projects. Phil has launched his new group Longrange creating new softer tunes for the chilled massive. Paul has stayed closed to home and is still creating a beating industrial sound and is also set to appear at Electric Picnic under the name 'Paul Hartnol and the Ideal Condition'.

Orbital- Halycon (Live In New York)

Headsung in the Summer Sun

Back home for the summer so I got some reliable solid internet use to get this blog back on track again. The video above is from the amazing prankvote.com which you'll find pretty tempting to recreate yourself. Who knew pain could be so much fun.

While sifting through video documentation of other peoples torture, pain and humilation. I also came across this gem of a prank gone wrong...
