Freelance Whales

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

My favourite album right now is ‘Weathervanes’ by Freelance Whales. You literally couldn’t stop me listening to it. Literally.

Yes the guy has a Sufjan Stevens boy-crush. Yes ‘Hannah’ has lyrics that crib from  ’Decatur, Or, Round Of Applause For Your Step Mother!‘ Yes ‘Broken Horse’ is almost a carbon copy/lovechild of ‘Casimir Pulaski Day‘. But I don’t give a shit. You’ll thank me later….player hater.

Golden Cage

Sunday, February 28th, 2010

Last post of the week and it’s a good one. First heard this dark and funkadelic Golden Bug jam on Aeroplane’s February Chart Mix. I’ve also been playing The Radio Dept.’s new album to death and this is another highlight that I think I’m allowed to post. Lastly, this Redial remix reminds me of a GRUM remix and that can only be a good thing.

Listen ♫: Golden Bug – Flamingo♥♥
Listen ♫: The Radio Dept. – David♥♥♥
Listen ♫: Barretso – We Wont Stop (Redial Remix)

Thanks to Too Many Sebastians for a couple of these.

Everytime Everyday Anyway ACID

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

Recovering from a blinding hangover so I’ll make this brief(ish). Wee selection of the tunes I’ve been digging the most recently. Can’t believe I hadn’t heard this Dusty Kid track til a few days ago. Kicks in big time at around the 2-minute mark. Also new 80kidz with Lovefoxxx from CSS – easily the best thing either has done for a while – excited for the 80kidz album. Was sent this Russ Chimes remix and must say he’s not put a foot wrong lately. Finally, one of the guys that runs the Killer Kitsch club night at Cabaret Voltaire in Edinburgh (and Glasgow) also does remixes and discovered this prize of a remix he did for Glasgow band Haight Ashbury. Fans of said Chimes and Fred Falke should enjoy.

Had a scare a few days ago when the site was taken offline. Thankfully it’s all been sorted now so lets get back to business. Saw A1 Bassline play a stormer last night at Cabaret Voltaire. He even played Wile Out. These 3 songs are simply amazing.

Whose motorcycle is this? It’s a remix, Baby.

Saturday, February 6th, 2010

Heard Kissy play this great Foo Fighters remix the other night on his show. Also, this Sinden remix is the best Silvia remix I’ve heard and probably the best thing Sinden has done so far in my opinion.

Annie Mac’s been playing this cracker recently – tried to look for an MP3 but all I got was this lousy t-shirt video.
