Guess who’s playing T in the Park on Sunday…
Yeah, you guessed it. Scottish Friction regular Boys Noize.
..And I’m not gonna be there. Instead of smashing shit up I’ll just let The Proxy completely annihilate this Boys Noize track… in the best way possible of course. It’s not really payback at all, is it. It’s just making me even more jealous.
Listen: Boys Noize – Let’s Buy Happiness (The Proxy Remix)
MP3: Boys Noize – Let’s Buy Happiness (The Proxy Remix)
At least there’s no one else there worth seeing eh…….Wait…… WHAT??!?
Yup. Thats right. It’s like the Holy Trinity. Back-to-back FFS!
Listen: Tiga – Beep Beep Beep (Punks Jump Up Remix)
MP3: Tiga – Beep Beep Beep (Punks Jump Up Remix)
This Punks Jump Up remix is a cracker. I’d say this and the JUPITER remix of Chew Lips (another Scottish Friction favourite) are the best remixes I’ve heard for, ooh at least a week, which is like a year in blogtime. Plus they sound nice played one after the other 
Listen: Chew Lips – Salt Air (JUPITER Remix) ←♥♥♥

I’ve been to T in the Park twice now (2006/07) and each time was fantastic. Think it only rained a couple of times. Thats me on the left incase you’re wondering – looking like a twat in my Kamikaze bandana and Devo t-shirt hahaha. I don’t care. Look at our faces. We’re practically glowing. Good beer to man ratio. Great weekend.
So excited about the new Jay Reatard album. I think I worn out Blood Visions within a week of first hearing it. I even started a Jay Reatard myspace page with my favourite song of his at the time because I wanted to add it to my myspace profile but nobody had it! Hahahhaa. How sad is that. I’ve not been on my myspace for aaages. 6,222 plays though! RESULT! Anyway, I really like this new song of his.

Before I forget I got a great email from the Polaris Music Prize-nominated Elephant Stone. I gave their song ‘I Am Blind’ a listen and I think it’s great. T’otherwise I wouldn’t have posted it. If you like it, apparently the album’s streaming at the Indiecater website.
Listen: Elephant Stone – I Am Blind
MP3: Elephant Stone – I Am Blind
Bassline at the start sounds a bit like Jackie Wilson’s ‘Higher & Higher’ eh? And that song reminds me of the end scene in ‘Death To Smoochy‘. You have to see that film. Hilarious.
Listen: Jackie Wilson – (Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher And Higher
MP3: Jackie Wilson – (Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher And Higher
p.s. this video, although added more than a year ago, seems quite moving now

Dear LORD!
What kind of festival is this?
Australian festivals suck ass compared to this dude.
How come you aren’t going?!
aw it’s a great festival. you really should fly over one year….and hit up the ‘Slam Tent’. some people just spend their weekends in their. I think i might be transmogrifying into one of them!
…and i’m not going cos i couldnt get a ticket. used to be a time when it wouldnt sell out til a week before the festival started. now it sells out within an hour of tickets going on sale. you have repetitive strain injury after refreshing the page that many times!
***i meant spend their weekends in THERE not THEIR***
