It finally happened…. and a day early to boot! Not given it a proper listen through yet but I do like ‘Lotus Flower’ and the accompanying video. Also in my news, long-time friend of the blog Hostage sent over his new track and it kicks and bumps in all the right places…. then decides to slap you in the face with its huge clubby balls. Dope! Finally, just finished watching Spaced again and this Lemon Jelly song rounds off what is probably one of my favourite TV programs ever. DANCE COLIN! DANCE FOR ME!

RANT ALERT! Don’t you find it annoying when bands blatantly rip off other bands? I’ve been noticing it a lot lately when listening to 6music. Now I don’t mean “taking inspiration from and going their own way” – I mean slap-you-in-the-chops rip-off. Can’t remember what the band were called but if they’d sounded any more like Animal Collective I’d have phoned up to make sure they hadn’t got the track name wrong. RANT OO’ER!

There’s only 1 Panda Bear thankfuck, and his new track is such a grower I could swear I’ve been singing it in my sleep. Also NEW RADIOHEAD THIS SATURDAY I CAN’T FUCKING WAIT I’VE ALREADY PRE-ORDERED MINE HAVE YOU? Finally, a choice cut from Siriusmo‘s new album ‘Mosaik’. This song bangs and bangs and bangs and just keeps giving. Holla.

dangerDan popped this on the Erol Alkan Forum, it got picked up on the Hype Machine from another blog posting a link to the soundcloud track, and it got top 10! Not surprised at all – exquisite remix.
