Swallow Till I Burst

Up In The Joint

On a bit of a old skool hip hop bender at the moment....My ears are sporting some cruising tunes in the summer sun.



Nas.....Prince Nas....But not that dick of a boxer. A classic from Illmatic.

Nas- Life's A Bitch



AZ The Visualizer, notably featured on Illmatic....He still produces the solo goods from The "Doe Or Die" album. Love the deep bass on this track.

AZ- I Feel For You



Taking it to the London suburbs with one of my favourites "Sway". That London life, youth strife and his honesty as sharp as a knife. The everyday for Sway. Quality!! Off the new "Signature LP"...

Sway-Jason Waste



Harsh but at other times the smoothest rhymes. These boys were supporting Snoop Dogg last month when I seen em in the Burswood Dome in Perth. They were better....Not a fan of Snoop so much. For5 the first act on, these boys kicked it off nicely, budsmokers only people please.

Bone Thugs-N-Harmony- E 1999



You can't help but move to this....That wierd singing women is immense...Reminds me of that Simpsons episode were the Navy recruits Bart.

Eric B & Rakim-Paid In Full



Can't get enough of this tune...Soul Solution Show Some Resolution

Souls Of Mischief-93' Till Infinity

Do You Stand Under?

Managed to find some time when I'm hungover on a coffee fix to get the show back on the road...This first one back is for Messy.

I'm blogging from a fairly sub-standard computer in my hostel, wit lack of musical/technoligical hardware to bring you some new music, but fuck it, I'll try all the same.



Working here currently, Fibber McGee's as a barman. Tis class. In Perth currently soaking up the relaxed chilled out atmosphere of the place. With the addition of a boombox in Melbourne I'm listening to some pretty decent radio time.

Something to help addle the mind.

Chunes that have been fairly good in Australia since being here have been...

The Presets-My People
The Foals-Cassius

....and much much more which I just can't think of at the moment cuz it involves trekking through alot alcoholic moments.

Boombox saves the day, playing James Holden (Balance 05), Madvillian, MFA on Balance 05 (quality tune) and MSTRKRFT.



A long trip across the outback was fun...(pretty sure I may mean that sarcastically, i'm not sure yet)...Interpol fixation in my head with not a one bass hook from them in ear range. The boys in the kitchen at work though play some serious tunes. Interpol gracing the kitchen as I stroll in to a mass cook off.....Thank fuck I say to myself...

The new kid in my publican block (who started work in the pub)unveiled a Radiohead T-Shirt...I think I'll give this guy a chance....

Heard more Cranberries and Sinead O'Conner than I'd prefer to working in an Irish bar. New playlist please!...Get some new range I rish music on....God!, even a bit of Bell X1 or something....and i'm not even a fan. Maybe I'll get some for them, or suggest some...or just switch the Zen to some banging house when they're not looking.

I Would Love To Hear Right Now

Modest Mouse........."These walls are paper thin and everyone hears every single sound"....."da dum da dum dum dum dum da dum da dum dum dum dum dum"


Peace and Fucking....Believe!

Parralel Thinking

Radiohead are soothing my ears again...I like the new vocal pitch.
Radiohead- Reckoner

My friend Diarmaid played us this fluffy tune off his phone last time I was home. I think it's about being impotent...I think that's what he said.
Final Fantasy- The Lamb Sells Condos

For some strange reason I follow what the media hype about The Young Knives and got the album. It ain't that bad. They haven't gone overtly pop and kept to what they like. This choon being my fave from the album.
The Young Knives- Rollerskater

Finally, my Electric Picnic tune. Euphoric house from The Field. Let it take you, don't push it.
The Field- Everyday

Gems: Back From Forgotten

Some Short Intensive Quality For A Lengthy Long Break.

Villeneuve & M83-Look At Me
Pulse Programming- Blooms Eventually

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.

Axwell & Sebastian Ingrosso feat. Salem el fakir- It's True

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.

Electrelane- Film Music
Electrelane- To The East

Porn Groove

Music Video:HARVEY NICKS (by The Mitchell Brothers)

Music Video Code provided by Video Code Zone

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
