goodas goodas morning . today is so nice oooh wee weather. and holidays are seriously THE best idea around. so here is some really really good goodnesss sounds from monoblock (note glochkenshpiel machine) and metronomy which are fun and make you squirm a little. oh yes AND some flight of the conchords live recording, which are amazing if you dont already know.
thinking i have not been good to disco recently and with this summer-come-early feel thats going round i really should have been..
for christmas i was given will ferrels first movie, night at the roxbury, on dvd and it is fully amazing. it is about night clubs amongst other things,very very 90's pop glittry glam, the invention of the super woofer boom box, that sort of thing. watch it to the end.
the 'golden' age of french music was born in the 1920s, the age of art deco and the height of french romanticism. mistinguett's 'je cherche un millionaire', toulouse-lautrec's 'la goulue' and paris' 'tour eiffel', had become symbols of the freedom of europe, a freedom embodied by the new music it brought to life. through both world wars and into the 1950s the sound of the likes of jacques brel, georges brassens, charles trenet and lucienne boyer carried on playing. now it needs to be reheard and relived, because it is special stuff, it will take you back to the days of 'lady and the tramp', lucky you.
today is a special post because it is a new week and this music is special to me, should get you up and grooving, smooth 80s sounds, tingles and jingles.
because it is such a nice morning and the sort which suits this song very much i.e crisp/cold/sun and clear sky, i am putting up a dkay tali mix, really really lovely, i hope you like.
quaristice is out and it is seriously good. autechre are officiaally untouchable. physical warp release on march 3rd and download now available to purchase via bleep. so go on and get it. it is a serious adventure of an album, through lots of areas but does so well as a whole. two tracks by no means the best since theyr all brilliant.
of gloucestershire. they are more like lanes actually. with hedges along them, and badgers, and picnics, and cricket pavillions...
drip drip zoooom. that is how the midnight fuck remix of run into flowers sounds. like the picture above. late motorway sound, autobahn melody. tur i maskinparken (roughly translating to: tour of the engine park-- strange norwegian) feels a little like flying through a clumsy fantasy world full of furry pink and blue animals and ice creams made of rainbows (think wax stag's short road) boys noize's remix of depeche modes claaaassic is squish slippery. then diplo and metronomy give some fun jump spin twirl roll bounce happiness to anybody with a big enough heart. that was generous. right on.
