<br />
This comes to you via the magic of the 'scheduled post' feature as I'm off gallivanting and will be unlikely to string many words together for a few days. <br />
<br />
Here's a very special post on behalf of a very special blog. A few days ago I got an email from Ctel from Acid Ted, asking if I could post the following mix. A no-brainer of course, and for a very worthy cause. <br />
<br />
Here's the blurb from Ctel:<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">Happy New Year to you. To get the new year off to a cracking start, I’m offering you the chance to get an exclusive mix from the marvellous but mysterious Error Operator. This mix is not available anywhere else. All you have to do is make a small donation to charity. Email me with the reply and I’ll send you the mix. It’s that simple.<br /><br />You will want this mix. <br /><br />It starts with the brilliant but brooding “Moth” by Burial and Four Tet before going on to mixes of Foals and Burial himself. It even has some Tinie Tempah bfore ending with James Blake and ultimately coming a full circle to a remix of Four Tet. This is a quiet evening with a bottle of fine red.<br /><br />I’d like others to benefit from the time that Error Operator has put in. In particular, to raise money for research on brain tumours in children. Brain tumours are the commonest solid tumours in children in the UK and USA. More children now die from a brain tumour than any other childhood cancer. If you want a copy of the mix, here’s how to donate:<br /><br />TO DONATE: Give directly to the Samantha Dickson Brain Tumour Trust (UK) by donating <a href="http://braintumourtrust.co.uk/">here</a> or Children’s Brain Tumor Foundation (USA) <a href="http://www.cbtf.org/">here</a> or to a children’s cancer charity in your own country. Once you have done so, you will get an emailed reply from them. Forward that email to me (<a href="mailto:acidtedblog@googlemail.com?subject=Error%20Operator%20Mix">acidtedblog@googlemail.com</a>) and I will send you a link to the mix. Please, please donate. How much you donate is up to you (£5 = US$7 / EUR5). If you need to know why these charities are so important, see my story <a href="http://ependyparent.blogspot.com/">here</a> or little Thomas’ story <a href="http://thomasbickle.blogspot.com/">here</a>.<br /><br />Finally, if any readers are bloggers themselves, could you please promote this mix on your sites. It’s in a good cause. Thank you. Email me with the link and I’ll send you a copy of the mix.<br /><br />And my sincere thanks and gratitude to Error Operator for making this appeal possible.</span><br />
<br />
Right - get clicking, viewers. If you've downloaded stuff from this site over the last couple of years then you'd be a miserable sod not to...<br />

The festive season was especially good fun blog-wise last year, I'd decided to stop the 2009 version of vinyl rips and go into the less frequent (before its slow painful death) 2010 incarnation. There were few extra special treats that I'd been saving, so here's a couple of lazy-bastard reposts to commemorate things this year, alongside the FACTORY FLOOR rip below.<br />
<br />
Xmas 2010 for me so far has been a bit of a nightmare as hardly any of the presents I've ordered online have arrived, and the bank knocked me back for a tenner yesterday which is a new record. BUT - it's been a fairly mental couple of weeks of gigs, clubbing and other assorted over indulgences so I've done no bad.<br />
<br />
Right, off to see <a href="http://www.myspace.com/drumeyes">Drum Eyes</a> at the Captains Rest. Have a great couple of weeks...<br />

The band of 2010 for me by a country mile. I went on about them enough over the course of the year and posted as much as I thought I could get away with so if you were a regular you'll know what I'm on about.<br /><br />Managed to see 'em three times, the best of which was on the Optimo stage at the <a href="http://www.electricfrog.weareeveryone.com/">Electric Frog Street Carnival</a> back in the summer. A superb live act, and I'm gutted I can't afford to go and see them at the <a href="http://www.ica.org.uk/27542/Music/Chris-Cosey-Factory-Floor-Trevor-Jackson-DJ-set-Richard-D-Clouston-DJ-set.html">ICA in February with Chris & Cosey</a>. Fuck me - that's a helluva line-up.<br /><br />Anyway, this was an early release and came out on Claire from <a href="http://www.rottersgolfclub.co.uk">Rotters</a>' label. Nice orange vinyl as well. I won't be keeping the link up so if you've not got it then get a fuckin move on.<br /><br />Merry Xmas m'dears, and thanks again for all the support you gave the blog over the 18 (or thereabouts) months...<br /><br /><img src=http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8lRGZoO4YYE/TQkP8gbbiMI/AAAAAAAACCE/MKymeosmtgo/s400/R-1612344-1232131954.jpeg width=300><br /><br /><a href="http://www.4shared.com/file/It5i2yXg/FF_BP.html">Factory Floor - Bipolar<br /></a>A - Bipolar<br />B - You Were Always Wrong<br /><br /><a href="http://www.discogs.com/sell/list?release_id=1612344&ev=rb">Buy it here</a>Moggieboyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16978347390625182242noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2573115975270822887.post-37140240192027752352010-11-24T18:40:00.009+00:002014-10-31T09:31:13.050+00:00Optimo - I Love Techno - 13 November 2010Our heroes live in Ghent a couple of weeks ago.<br /><br />Banging in Belgium? Oh yes. Complete with shouty over-excited MC this takes no prisoners - you can forget the Nina Simone / This Mortal Coil side of Optimo here, this is back to the old PURE days in style. <br /><br />Taken from the gig itself you can hear the manual touching-up and down of the 12"s, which makes a change from some of the over-produced so-called 'live mixes' you hear floating about these days.<br /><br />Bastard! Got a tweet from JD Twitch last night to say "ha ha! I knew you couldn't stop" when I did the post below. Aye very good. Definitely not back for good, but we can't have a Weatherall without an Optimo, can we? A two-off, if you will.<br /><br />Right - off to see Atari Teenage Riot, should clear out the midweek cobwebs...<br /><br /><img src=http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8lRGZoO4YYE/TO1caRYxcsI/AAAAAAAACB0/VykBsWfEiok/s400/Screen%2Bshot%2B2010-11-24%2Bat%2B18.41.15.png width=300><br /><br /><a href="http://www.4shared.com/audio/jf1TwlDV/I_Love_Techno_November_2010.html">Optimo - I Love Techno - 13 November 2010</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.juno.co.uk/search/?quick_search_records=m_physical&q=optimo+music&x=0&y=0&qs=1&s_search_precision=any&s_search_type=all&s_genre_id=0000">Buy the new stuff on Optimo Music here</a>Moggieboyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16978347390625182242noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2573115975270822887.post-6386110446632923422010-11-23T17:52:00.012+00:002014-10-31T09:31:13.105+00:00Andrew Weatherall - 6 Mix - Screamadelica SpecialRecent Weatherall show in collaboration with Primal Scream.<br /><br />Well, what can I say? One of the most inspired musical pairings of all time, this has pretty much set out the stall for the last 20 years of my life. When I first heard back in January about the Screamadelica gigs this weekend, I bought a ticket on autopilot (as always), but haven't really given a shit about it either way.<br /><br />Until now.<br /><br />It's <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/proginfo/radio/2010/wk47/">Primal Scream week on 6 Music</a>, and this started things off on Sunday, along with an Alan McGee 'First Time' show. Things come to a climax with the broadcast of Friday night's show on 6. I won't be listening to it as it's Saturday I'm off to see the show (same as all the TRUEFANS as it was announced first - fuck I hate myself sometimes), but will no doubt download it when I get back.<br /><br />Being a sucker for a deluxe vinyl product, I <strike>nearly</strike> had to go for a wank when I saw <a href="http://www.play.com/Music/CD/4-/17729824/Screamadelica-20th-Anniversary-Limited-Collector-Edition/Product.html">this</a>, and then <a href="http://www.sonymusicdigital.com/primal-scream/details/5686224">THIS</a>. Just as well I got a bit of cash for my birthday last week. Which one to buy though - the red one looks better but the white one's more limited (and signed)...<br /><br />So, the Weatherall show then. It's great to hear him in 'reminiscing' mode, plenty of anecdotes as you'd expect. I'm coincidentally reading Jah Wobble's <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Memoirs-Geezer-Music-Mayhem-Life/dp/1846687209/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1290535548&sr=1-1">autobiography</a> just now as well, so it all ties in very nicely, thank you very much.<br /><br />Back for good? Nah, but who knows what's round the corner...<br /><br />*EDIT* no sooner back on air than I get a message from the kind folks at <a href="http://testpressing.org/2010/11/23/radio-andrew-weatherall-the-music-that-made-screamadelica/">testpressing.org</a> offering me use of these fine images. Too late for the upload but I'm sure you can do your own thing with 'em.

It was his birthday on Sunday there, so he treated us to an hour long mix in his honour (and why the fuck not). We were listening to it in the flat as ever, and were blown away - a great mix of tunes and dialogue as you can see below. <br /><br />I've been out of action for the last week or so due to a mysterious pain which the doctor initially thought was a punctured lung (it wasn't) and haven't had the inclination to post anything. It's still sore, which is a bugger, but thought I'd get this up anyway. Normal service will be resumed at some point. It had better be OK for the <a href="http://www.residentadvisor.net/event.aspx?191088">Optimo Turbo Rave</a> on Friday night, mind you I should have some way of suppressing the pain if it's not...<br /><br /><img src=http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8lRGZoO4YYE/TJo2NJyujbI/AAAAAAAACAE/msDFEPT9aeM/s400/Screen+shot+2010-09-22+at+17.52.46.png width=300><br /><br /><a href="http://www.4shared.com/audio/NhwDY2ZM/01_Birthday_Megamix.html">Jarvis Cocker - Birthday Megamix - 6 Music</a><br />1 - The BBC Radiophonic Workshop — Happy Birthday<br />2 - Burt Bacharach — Something Big<br />3 - Sir John Betjeman — Indoor Games Near Newbury<br />4 - Leroy Anderson — The Typewriter<br />5 - Ost — Diary of a Taxi Driver<br />6 - Gonzales — Armellodie<br />7 - The Tremeloes — Here Comes My Baby<br />8 - Lou Reed — Coney Island Baby (live)<br />9 - Van Morrison — Coney Island<br />10 - Ennio Morricone — La Resa Del Conti<br />11 - Ost — Dialogue & Music from the TV series 'Kung Fu'<br />12 - Étienne de Crécy — Prix Choc<br />13 - Boris Midney — D-D-D-Dance<br />14 - Dylan Thomas — Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night<br />15 - My Disco — Paradise A<br />16 - <a href="http://thequietus.com/articles/00129-jarvis-cocker-on-sheffield-post-punk-legends-artery">Artery</a> — Cars In Motion<br />17 - Eddy Current Suppression Ring — Hey Mum<br />18 - Fleetwood Mac — Oh Well<br /><br /><a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00ptsjd">Check out Jarvis' show's homepage here</a>Moggieboyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16978347390625182242noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2573115975270822887.post-60963526638322618352010-09-13T19:19:00.003+01:002014-10-31T09:31:13.096+00:00Troy Tate - Love Is... (Dance Mix)Solo 12" by him-out-of-the-Teardrop-Explodes from 1983 on Rough Trade.<br /><br />Picked this up as part of a '7x12"s for a fiver' deal at a great new second hand vinyl shop that's just opened about 4 minutes from my front door. Fuck - that's me screwed, got a whole load already and barely scratched the surface. Looks like they've got hunners of great stuff if you're prepared to wade through the crates.<br /><br />Alongside the various session musicians on this are Virginia Astley, Rolo McGinty and David Balfe. Star-studded, eh? I hadn't heard this prior to shelling out my 70p or so on it and it was the Julian Cope fan in me who picked it up, but it's actually really good - not nearly as dated as you'd think. In fact, some of the production is almost Moroder-esque - I shit you not. The A-side's actually a right catchy wee ditty that I've just caught m'lady singing along to. <br /><br />I realise that I'm talking this up maybe a wee bit too much but there you go - take a chance on an early 80s electronic synthy oddity, I dare you...<br /><br /><img src=http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8lRGZoO4YYE/TIz3nMGfitI/AAAAAAAAB_0/oVadVitoTgU/s400/R-693385-1177489528.jpeg width=300><br /><br /><a href="http://www.4shared.com/file/iZ5IL67J/TT_online.html">Troy Tate - Love Is...

<br />
This is comin' at ya courtesy of RiG viewer 'Matt' from Maidenhead, who picked it up at the 2003 Haywire Christmas party (lucky so-and-so). Cheers Matt, as it's a great mix - something a wee bit different to the usual fare.<br />
<br />
Should keep the Weatherall wolf from the door for a wee while at least. Next 6 Mix perhaps...<br />

<br />
Fuck me this is amazing - I've had this on the go for a while but hadn't listened to in its entirety until I came back from work yesterday. Absolutely fantastic mix. Anyone on the <a href="http://www.eskimorecordings.be/">Eskimo</a> mailing list will have this already, but this is for anyone who isn't. <br />
<br />
Aeroplane look like they're about to go MASSIVE if recent 6 Music airplay of the <a href="http://www.eskimorecordings.be/newsdetail.php?idn=1762">new single</a> (out on Monday) counts for anything. I see they've made a Lady Gaga pisstake <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSGlwlVjKSg">video</a> as well, so that's all gonna help the masterplan (I'm assuming). <br />
<br />
I've always missed them (him?) when they've played Glasgow, which is surprising as they're up here all the time. Mind you, I'd probably be the oldest bastard there so maybe I'm better off checking them out from afar...<br />

<br />
Andrew Weatherall - mind him? Used to be a permanent feature on this blog but he's not been on here for a good <a href="http://rippedinglasgow.blogspot.com/2010/08/grinderman-heathen-child-weatherall.html">couple of weeks</a> now. Mind you, me being a lazy bastard hasn't helped. Don't worry, got another wee treat lined up over the weekend.<br />
<br />
A <span style="font-weight: bold;">HUGE</span> thanks to Brother Johnston for sending me this CD up in the post - it arrived today and I've got it on just now. A big departure from the <a href="http://rippedinglasgow.blogspot.com/2010/05/andrew-weatherall-alfos-cd-mix.html">previous mix I posted</a>, as this one is all electronic music (so far). Nice sleeve as well, signed by the man himself. Oddly, it's spilt into five tracks (four short ones and a 50min one) but flows perfectly as a mix right through. I'm currently about halfway through it and in my unbiased opinion it's sounding fairly magnificent. A few oldies thrown in as well, so I don't feel completely out of touch. <br />
<br />
*EDIT* now finished listening - nice and mellow (please shoot me for using that word) at the end as well. Not a 'club' mix, so definitely up the ALFOS street right enough. Sounds like a great wee night they've got down at The Drop.<br />
<br />
Right Sean, how about persuading Audrey to accompany yourself up here to Bonnie Scotch-land for a wee ALFOS night at <a href="http://nicensleazy.com/">Sleazys</a> or <a href="http://www.captainsrest.co.uk/">The Captains Rest</a> - they seem about right size-wise...<br />

This prompted me to check them out on their myspazz where I discovered a link to this EP.<br /><br />I had a sneaky suspicion that there may be a Mogwai influence or two lurking away in their sound due to the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJ_spqyincI">band name</a>, but there's much more besides. His'n'hers vocals for a start. They sound quite shoegazey in places, and I mean that as a compliment. <br /><br />I got in touch with the band to see if they minded me posting this, and it turns out it was recorded in a studio in the back-of-beyond <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strathaven">place</a> where I grew up (and actually played a gig about 22 years ago but that's a different story). Small world, eh? They're from East Kilbride, the shithole that was home to the Jesus & Mary Chain back in the day (and home to my only ever car crash) - obviously a hot bed for creative talent that place...<br /><br />I've listened to this a good few times now, and will definitely be checking 'em out the next time they play live - this is definitely worth a download.<br /><br />Oh, apologies for the lack of recent posts. Real life (ie worky pish) has been getting in the way...<br /><br /><img src=http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8lRGZoO4YYE/TIe8OscMj1I/AAAAAAAAB_M/_HX2xrCA7XY/s400/View+All+Photos+%7C+Helicon.jpeg width=300><br /><br /><a href="http://www.4shared.com/file/7yC8okmE/Helicon_-_Take_The_Ride_EP.html">Helicon - Take The Ride EP</a><br />1 - The Point Between Heaven and Hell<br />2 - Truth Or Consequence<br />3 - Hiding In The Shadows<br /><br /><a href="http://www.myspace.com/helicon1band">Check out their myspazz for more tracks</a>Moggieboyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16978347390625182242noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2573115975270822887.post-19557601622331800782010-09-01T18:10:00.004+01:002014-10-31T09:31:13.000+00:00Chris Carter - The Spaces BetweenLatest release on the mighty <a href="http://www.optimomusic.com/">Optimo Music</a> label, out next week.<br /><br />Originally recorded between 1974 and 1978 at Industrial Records studio in London, 'The Space Between' album was first released as a 90 minute cassette in 1980 on Throbbing Gristle's Industrial Records label. It eventually got released by Mute on CD around 1990. This new vinyl-tastic edition (for the first time), now retitled 'The Spaces Between', doesn't include all the tracks of the original album but has been enhanced and remastered from the original two-track master tapes and has new cover artwork especially for this release. <br /><br />JD Twitch has this to say about the release... <br /><br /><blockquote>"The original release featured fifteen tracks. As I wanted to have a reasonably loud vinyl pressing, I have picked my favourite six to appear here (not an easy task to narrow it down). In addition there is a bonus track "Climbing" which was recorded around the same time that was released by Coil's Geoff Ruston on his "Men With Deadly Dreams" cassette in 1981. One of the first ever recordings to use an 808 drum machine, it still sounds as if it is from tomorrow. In my opinion, these are some of the key recordings in the history of electronic music. They were made using very basic equipment at a time when there was no blueprint for what electronic music could and should be. There is a beauty, an emotion and an imagination present here that is lacking in a lot of modern machine music. This music is as vital and wondrous today as it was four decades ago."<br /></blockquote><br />Due to the 'only just getting released' nature of this, you're only getting the one track (the one that was available on their <a href="http://soundcloud.com/optimo-music">Soundcloud</a>)...<br /><br /><img src=http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8lRGZoO4YYE/THa4ji8Qe_I/AAAAAAAAB-o/5scJsCYBzbU/s400/om_cc01_front_cover_sm.jpg width=300><br /><br />Chris Carter - The Spaces Between<br />A1 - Beat<br />A2 - Outreach<br />A3 - Clouds<br />A4 - Electrodub<br /><a href="http://www.4shared.com/audio/5lvwHUYI/Interloop.html">B1 - Interloop</a><br />B2 - Solidit<br />B3 - Climbing<br /><br /><a href="http://www.juno.co.uk/ppps/products/401652-01.htm">Buy it here</a>Moggieboyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16978347390625182242noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2573115975270822887.post-11013289083780891172010-09-01T17:35:00.008+01:002014-10-31T09:31:12.976+00:00Grinderman - Evil (Factory Floor Remix)Web-rip of two of my favourite bands shimmying up to each other, courtesy of <a href="http://thequietus.com/articles/04885-listen-grinderman-and-factory-floor-remix">The Quietus</a> this time.<br /><br />What can I say - Factory Floor have stamped their unique mark onto this track from the new Grinderman album. Sounds a bit like a 2010 version of Suicide if you ask me, which has to be a great thing. Again, as per the Weatherall Mix below, this isn't getting a proper release - it's gonna only be available on the iTunes version of the album and we can't buy it in the shops. Shame, I could go a nice wee 12" with the AW mix on one side and this one on the other. <br /><br />As I said <a href="http://rippedinglasgow.blogspot.com/2010/08/grinderman-heathen-child-weatherall.html">below</a>, I will be buying said album on shiny new vinyl and you won't be finding it anywhere near this blog.

Hmmm....<br /><br />Who gives a fuck - it's right up my street. Electronic with a bit of goth thrown in? I'll take a bit of that. We spent a good hour on Saturday night going through the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/matersuspiria#p/u">plethora of MSV videos on YouTube</a> and fucking loving each one. Between this and <a href="http://rippedinglasgow.blogspot.com/search/label/factory%20floor">Factory Floor</a>, 2010 is shaping up to be a great year for new bands.<br /><br />In the cold light of day on Sunday afternoon, I was regaling the troops with our tales of YouTubbery from the previous night. Before too long we ended up back at the flat and needless to say they weren't too impressed. "It's just the original slowed down", said Mr Lady Gaga Fan when I played him the MSV version of <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MnjuT972F4">Paparazzi</a>. *sigh* - some folk just don't get it. <br /><br />Anyways - this mix? Well anything which features R-i-G favourites <a href="http://rippedinglasgow.blogspot.com/2009/11/sisterhood-gift.html">The Sisterhood</a> has to be a winner. It's also got some MSV 'ghost drone' remixes and various other dark, gloomy electronic types. <br /><br />I've got the 'Vogue Witch Box' from the myspazz site winging its way in my direction, so cannae wait to check that one out. Right, off to crimp what's left of my hair. Mine's a snakebite'n'blackcurrant...<br /><br /><img src=http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8lRGZoO4YYE/THVOjcB91TI/AAAAAAAAB-I/CFXOZAacmwQ/s400/ap_lol.mp3.jpeg width=300><br /><br /><a href="http://www.4shared.com/audio/rgBkrJYU/Actual_Pain__Lords_of_Lights_.html">Mater Suspiria Vision - Lords of Light Mixtape</a><br />1 - Goblin - Suspira (MSV Edit)<br />2 - Adamski - Killer (MSV Ghost Drone Edit)<br />3 - The Sisterhood - Rain From Heaven<br />4 - Pink Floyd - Obscured By Clouds<br />5 - Damenbart - Innovative Schwingungen<br />- Machine Gun Commercial -<br />6 - Aids-3D - Eternal Love<br />7 - Modern Witch - Ghosts Of You<br />8 - Mater Suspiria Vision - Call Of The Witches<br />- Ghostelude -<br />9 - Fever Ray - Keep the Streets Empty for Me (Mater Suspiria Vision's Floating Streets Edit)<br />10 - Mya - Ponytail<br />11 - Balam Acab - See Birds<br />12 - Salt'n'Pepa - Push It (Ghost Drone Remix)<br />- Mind Commercial -<br />13 - Rosemary - Sleep Alone<br />14 - Goblin - Sighs (from Suspiria)<br />15 - Hector Zazou La Perversity - La Soupeuse<br />16 - Christian Brown - Aravanadi (Ghost Drone Edit)<br /><br /><a href="http://www.myspace.com/matersuspiriavision">Check out their myspazz here</a>Moggieboyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16978347390625182242noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2573115975270822887.post-52249630092916298852010-08-23T17:08:00.008+01:002014-10-31T09:31:13.075+00:00The First Time With... Bill Drummond - 6 Music RipAn hour of chat and music with the Greatest Living Scotsman, recorded off 6 Music yesterday.<br /><br />Matt Everitt spoke to King Boy D about his musical life and played some suitable records along the way. Anyone who's read Bill's books or seen any of his recent(ish) talky shows will be familiar with most of the tales here, but I could listen to him read a shopping list and still dig it - he's got a unique ability to make ANYTHING sound interesting; his <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/20-000-Bill-Drummond/dp/1905636849/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1282583694&sr=1-2">latest book</a> features in depth analysis of different bird species and thoughts on evolution of fish in Scottish lakes (which I found fascinating). <br /><br />The inevitable question of the million quid rears its head in the second half, but the subject gets dealt with fairly painlessly (they definitely did it - of course they did). <br /><br />It's split into pre-KLF before the news (edited out) and KLF-beyond afterwards, culminating in some banter about all "The 17" carry on from a couple of years ago.<br /><br />Well worth an hour of anyone's time...<br /><br /><img src=http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8lRGZoO4YYE/THKdJj8TSiI/AAAAAAAAB-A/5WQfiP0eO4U/s400/b00tj7g2_640_360.jpg width=300><br /><br /><a href="http://www.4shared.com/audio/nPVJ0t63/01_The_First_Time_With__Bill_D.html">The First Time With...

Fuck me - the mix is aptly titled, to quote the <a href="http://www.factmag.com/2010/08/23/stream-andrew-weatheralls-remix-of-grinderman/">FACT article</a>, it "teases a low-slung, snake-charming post-punk groove out of the original, complete with speaker-ripping subs and more echo than a batcave." Not a word of a lie - if I heard this on a big sound system it would dislodge membrane in my head. <br /><br />Can't wait to hear the full Grinderman album, and we're off to see them at the Barras next month. Imagine if they attempted to pull this off live? (nae chance!)<br /><br />What a nice thing to arrive home to after a shitty Monday in the pissing rain. Thanks to FACT Magazine for hosting the mix, which it looks like you'll only be able to get via the iTunes version of the album. Well, I'll be getting the vinyl so this post is completely justified (in my head).<br /><br />Did I mention the <a href="http://stereogum.com/465812/grinderman-heathen-child-video/video/">video</a>? Fuck me - it's got topless women, werewolves, guns, blood, more topless ladies, freaky imagery, Nick Cave shooting lasers out of his eyes and all sorts of other nonsense, courtesy of John Hilcoat of 'The Road' fame...<br /><br /><img src=http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8lRGZoO4YYE/THKUTfMYE3I/AAAAAAAAB94/Xo4xmeWnG4g/s400/heathen_large.jpeg width=300><br /><br />Grinderman - Heathen Child (Weatherall 'Bass' Remix) <<-- link removed<br /><br /><a href="http://grinderman.com/buy/">Pre-order the single & album here</a>Moggieboyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16978347390625182242noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2573115975270822887.post-68228223409060215762010-08-20T16:00:00.003+01:002014-10-31T09:31:13.127+00:00Hallogallo 2010 - Lincoln Center Out Of Doors Festival - 6 August 2010Recent live show, ripped from <a href="http://culture.wnyc.org/articles/music-hub/2010/aug/10/no-cover-michael-rother-friends-play-music-neu/">this blog</a> as mentioned on the post below.<br /><br />This will make a nice companion to the 7" rip from the gig, and should convince anyone who's undecided about going to see 'em that Hallogallo 2010 is an unmissable gig.<br /><br />Not too much to add to what was said below, but in answer to a couple of emails I've had recently moaning about the fact that my web rips are 320kbps when they're usually streamed at less than that I can only say, "get tae fuck". Some folk are never happy.<br /><br />In case you didn't read the comments below by official "friend of RiG" The Saucer People and anon below, here are a few more Neu! related items of interest (big thanks to you both): <br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?41fj41j1a3dj9yu">Betty Botox - Dingered & Rothered</a> [2005]<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?7m1aw9mt4tjtfqo">Neu! - Hallogallo [Beyond The Wizards Sleeve 'I Swim Around' Rework</a> [2008] <br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?5xvkd21rtny0d49">Michael Rother - Neutronics 98</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.myspace.com/helicon1band">Helicon - Hallogallo</a> (interesting cover by a bunch from east Kilbride) <br /><br />Anyway, Hallogallo 2010 in the house.

The lineup was the same as when I saw them in May at Primavera - Michael Rother, Steve Shelley from Sonic Youth (drums) and Aaron Mullan from Tall Firs (bass). I think the Primavera gig was their debut performance - Steve Shelley was a bit out of sync and there were a few mistakes, but last night was perfect - absolutely mindblowing. <br /><br />You cannot afford miss this show - there are a few more dates around the world, including more UK shows - check 'em out <a href="http://vampireblues.wordpress.com/2010/08/08/hallogallo-2010-hermeto-pascoal-free-show-in-nyc/#more-415">here</a>. It was an hour and 15mins of intense rhythmic majesty - my body was moving about involuntarily, and during rare moments of taking a step back and checking out the other punters, I wasn't alone. Wasn't pissed either, and no other nonsense (Tuesday night after all). Steve Shelley must be a contender drummer-wise out of the current crop of tubthumpers - his arms must have been fucked afterwards. A great mix of punters as well - looked like there were a few casualties from the 70s as well as cunts like us. I'd never seen anyone wearing a Tangerine Dream t-shirt before last night, so that's one to tick off the list.<br /><br />I'm sure the Edinburgh show last night must have been recorded; there's nothing up on Dime yet but you can stream a superb recording of the New York show from a couple of weeks ago <a href="http://culture.wnyc.org/articles/music-hub/2010/aug/10/no-cover-michael-rother-friends-play-music-neu/">here</a>. I'm recording it as we speak so will upload once it's done.<br /><br />I couldn't believe it when I saw that they were selling this 7". What's a tenner for a 7" after the expense of the Neu! box set? It's got a couple of no bad (on first listen) unreleased tracks by this lineup, which I'm pretty sure weren't played at the gig. The B-side's a wee bit crackly so I'll see if the copies that the rest of the gang bought are the same and will grab a rip off them if theirs are any different. I'll give these tunes a bit more attention once I've finished listening to that show from New York.<br /><br />Herr Rother looked so appreciative of the audience - he looked majestic, cool as fuck. Wish he was my uncle, or something...<br /><br /><img src=http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8lRGZoO4YYE/TGwEEdT7JDI/AAAAAAAAB9o/3ufqjHS8dHo/s400/Scan+58.jpeg width=300><br /><br /><a href="http://www.4shared.com/file/cUxTQBq1/hallogallo.html">Hallogallo 2010 - Blinkgürtel/ Drone Schlager</a><br />A - Blinkgürtel<br />B - Drone Schlager<br /><br /><a href="http://www.myspace.com/michaelrother">Check out Michael Rother's Myspace here</a>Moggieboyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16978347390625182242noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2573115975270822887.post-67599292965707639202010-08-16T16:20:00.006+01:002014-10-31T09:31:13.118+00:00Hardway Bros - Ekstravaganza 5 - Corsica Studios 23/7/10New(ish) mix from Brother Johnston, recorded a few weeks ago in London town.<br /><br />Got this sent via email from Mr J at the end of last week, and he said that there will be new <a href="http://www.pax.com/search?search=s-dwajueki&tab=site&t=t-r6r1r4f2&q=alfos">ALFOS</a> mixes from himself and Andrew Weatherall this week. Hopefully he'll send them over as well. This mix is great - I'm a bit out of touch with current stuff that's being played out so this has plenty of acts to investigate further, which I've been doing over the last couple of hours.<br /><br />The mix was a warm-up set for Ivan Smagghe, who played Glasgow last night at Hung Up. I'm ashamed to say I didn't make it down, as I was paying the price for 24 hours of madness in Edinburgh & beyond, and couldn't do much more than veg out watching <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oz_(TV_series)">Oz</a> on DVD nursing a bottle of wine last night. Next time, Ivan!<br /><br />This party looks great - according to Sean, "the french fella and I pretty much tore 'em a new one." If this was a warm-up mix then fuck knows what the main set was like. In other news, he's working with Scott from <a href="http://rippedinglasgow.blogspot.com/search/label/bios">BIOS</a> on a techno side-project, so I look forward to hearing the fruits of that one...<br /><br /><img src=http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8lRGZoO4YYE/TGknWPf-_TI/AAAAAAAAB9g/LQfxbn-Xn78/s400/uk-0723-169103-front.jpeg width=300><br /><br /><a href="http://www.4shared.com/audio/JzZBR_S1/Corsica_Summer_2010_party.html">Hardway Bros - Ekstravaganza 5 - Corsica Studios 23/7/10 </a> <<== should be working OK now<br />1 - Tornado Wallace - Paddlin' (Linkwood remix)<br />2 - Skatebard - Starwatcher II<br />3 - Cole Medina - I Got My Mind Made Up (Cole's Remake)<br />4 - Runaway - Dirty Cake<br />5 - Rebolledo, Daniel Maloso - Colt Seavers<br />6 - Mike Burns - Patterns<br />7 - John Talabot - La Ninya - Afrodub Version<br />8 - Mungolian Jetset - Mush In The Bush<br />9 - Williams - Confused Arp Disco<br />10 - Spectacle - The Mask Of Sanity<br />11 - Andrew Weatherall - Brother Johnston's Travelling Disco Consultancy<br />12 - Junesex -Worst Than Love - Gilb'r Chateau Flight Remix<br />13 - Cage &Aviary -Beat-N-Path - Brennan Green's mix<br />14 - Von Spar -Troops - Rebolledo Remix<br />15 - Midnight Magic - Beam Me Up - Jacques Renault Remix<br />16 - Cole Medina - Red Hot - The Mole's MMD Mix<br />17 - Chopstick & Johnjon feat Fritz Kalkbrenner - Keep On Keepin' On<br />18 - T-Coy - Carino - Motor City Drum Ensemble mix<br />19 - Henrik Schwarz, Kuniyuki Takahashi - Once Again Kuniyuki Version<br />20 - Wolfgang Voigt - Geduld - DJ Koze Mix<br />21 - Roxy Music -The Main Thing - Rub N Tug Remix<br />22 - Jamie Jones - Ruckus<br /><br /><a href="http://soundcloud.com/hardwaybros">Check out Hardway Bros on Soundcloud</a>Moggieboyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16978347390625182242noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2573115975270822887.post-2907748627270681972010-08-14T09:33:00.010+01:002014-10-31T09:31:13.024+00:00Cajmere / Future Funk - Percolator 2010A genuine WTF!? moment from Cajmere, alongside stars of America's Got Talent (wait - come back)...<br /><br />OK, so I've been following Cajmere / Green Velvet on Twitter for a while, and a few months back he recommended checking out a video of these two kids who were on America's Got Talent. Now I wouldn't normally watch such filth(!) but this got me interested. Check out the clip here - two dancers, aged 5 and 9. Magnificent stuff:<br /><br /><object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/rCA-XbBT9Rc?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/rCA-XbBT9Rc?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="400" ></embed></object><br /><br />Wow! Literally, amazing. So, next up Cajmere is going on about releasing a Percolator remix album and making a video to promote it. It came out the other day, and features the Future Funk kids in a school, with Cajmere! (I think the show is still going, and they are still in it) Most bizarre...<br /><br /><object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/tONaUyVXHCY?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/tONaUyVXHCY?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="400""></embed></object><br /><br />I've posted the original Percolator track <a href="http://rippedinglasgow.blogspot.com/2009/09/cajmere-chit-chat-remixes-coffee-pot.html">before</a>, so here it is again to tie in with this mental remix project...<br /><br />Right, I'm off to add to Edinburgh's cunt population for the next 24 hours...<br /><br /><img src=http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8lRGZoO4YYE/SrpLywUfaWI/AAAAAAAABTc/kVDEFF003-k/s400/R-36326-1207296291.jpeg width=300><br /><br /><a href="http://www.4shared.com/file/134870775/dd49bd13/CCrmxs.html">Cajmere - Chit Chat (The Remixes) / Coffee Pot</a><br />A1 - Chit Chat (Chit Chat Remix)<br />A2 - Chit Chat (Clubhouse Mix)<br />A3 - Chit Chat (Late Night Mix)<br />B1 - Chit Chat (Original Instrumental)<br />B2 - Coffee Pot (Percolator Mix)<br />B3 - Naumatunedacorra (Remix)<br /><br /><a href="http://www.cajual.com/index.php?page=shop.browse&category_id=143&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=28">Buy Cajmere/GV stuff here</a>Moggieboyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16978347390625182242noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2573115975270822887.post-18695067039090478952010-08-13T14:03:00.003+01:002014-10-31T09:31:12.992+00:00Various - Balearic Beats - Vol. 1 - The AlbumClassic compilation on FFRR, released in 1988.<br /><br />Picked this up on vinyl recently in Oxfam Music for the bargain price of £4.99! Compiled by Paul Oakenfold, Pete Tong and Trevor Fung, this is all yer Shoom/Spectrum/Future/Ibiza classics rolled into one handy package.<br /><br />I was too young to appreciate all that crazy ecstasy dance music at the time, and was going through an ill-advised gothy/alternative period myself. When I 'saw the light' circa 1992 and back-tracked accordingly it was a bit of a surprise to see what kinda shit they'd been playing in the clubs just as things kicked off. The Residents? Nitzer Ebb? The Cure, even? WTF - maybe I hadn't been too far off the mark after all. Of course, once the bubble burst and every cunt and his granny were knocking out dance records in their bedrooms they dropped all this shit from the playlists. <br /><br />The story's been told ad nausea about the infamous trip to Ibiza that kicked things off back in Blighty on return, but if there is anyone remaining in the dance music universe who hasn't read Simon Reynolds' opus "<a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/product-description/0330350560/ref=dp_proddesc_0?ie=UTF8&n=266239&s=books">Energy Flash</a>" (shame on you!) then it should fill in all of the appropriate gaps.<br /><br />It's well worth having a swatch at Terry Farley's <a href="http://www.discogs.com/Various-Balearic-Beats-Vol-1-The-Album/release/5870">sleevenotes</a> which capture the innocence of the whole thing. There's a nice wee video <a href="http://vimeo.com/6571106">here</a> as well.<br /><br />I still can't believe that a bona fide classic from that scene came from Mandy Smith, who was seemingly able to juggle between getting pumped by the uncoolest Rolling Stone and producing a (brilliant) club hit with Stock, Aitken and Waterman, all by the tender age of 16...<br /><br /><img src=http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8lRGZoO4YYE/TGUVVsoqyUI/AAAAAAAAB9Y/Nrfl-U1rsUY/s400/R-5870-1106703179.jpeg width=300><br /><br /><a href="http://www.4shared.com/file/X8mOGXYs/Balearic.html">Various - Balearic Beats - Vol. 1 - The Album</a><br />A1 - Electra - Jibaro (Full English 12" Version)<br />A2 - Code 61 - Drop The Deal<br />A3 - Beats Workin' - Sure Beats Workin' (El Sonido Casa Balearico)<br />A4 - Enzo Avitabile - Black Out<br />A5 - Mandy Smith - Mandy's Theme (I Just Can't Wait) (Cool & Breezy Jazz Version)<br />B1 - The Residents - Kaw-Liga (Prairie Mix)<br />B2 - The Woodentops - Why Why Why (Live)<br />B3 - Nitzer Ebb - Join In The Chant<br />B4 - Fini Tribe - De Testimony (Collapsing Edit)<br />B5 - The Thrashing Doves - Jesus On The Payroll (Street Groove)<br /><br /><a href="http://www.discogs.com/sell/list?release_id=5870&ev=rb">Buy it here</a>Moggieboyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16978347390625182242noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2573115975270822887.post-3560349130227402822010-08-12T08:47:00.008+01:002014-10-31T09:31:13.043+00:00Silver Columns - Always On (Caribou Remix)SUPERB mix of the Silver Columns track, courtesy of the wonderful people over at <a href="http://www.factmag.com/2010/08/04/download-caribous-swooning-remix-of-silver-columns-next-single/">FACT Magazine</a>.<br /><br />I only realised when I read that article that one of the guys from Silver Columns was in Fridge, who I've got a couple of albums by (lurking somewhere in the quagmire). Will need to attempt to find them sometime soon as they were fucking fab - I went through a wee Fridge/Add N to (X) period back in the late 90s. Fuck - had completely forgotten about both those bands until just there.<br /><br />Silver Columns are playing at the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=111062533457">Devil Disco Club</a> in Edinburgh tomorrow alongside some of Edinburgh's finest DJs, but alas I can't go, as we're saving ourselves for an all-dayer in the capital on Saturday. Back in the day the double-header would have been nae bother but these days it's a non-starter (fuckin lightweights the pair of us).<br /><br />Anyway, you really have to check this mix out - it's released properly in a month or so, FACT describe Caribou's remix efforts as "turning ‘Always On’ into a eight minute epic brushed with live drums, handclaps and swooning, Hot Chip-esque romanticism". What's not to like...?<br /><br /><img src=http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8lRGZoO4YYE/TGOnqa6e3TI/AAAAAAAAB9Q/d4MX2NOQYOQ/s400/silver.columns.download.08.04.2010.jpeg width=300><br /><br /><a href="http://mp3.factmagazine.co.uk/Always%20On%20(Caribou%20Remix).mp3">Silver Columns - Always On (Caribou Remix)</a> <<-- direct link<br /><br /><a href="http://www.roughtrade.com/site/shop_detail.lasso?search_type=sku&sku=325069">Buy Silver Columns stuff here</a>Moggieboyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16978347390625182242noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2573115975270822887.post-56289135408024714252010-08-11T17:16:00.008+01:002014-10-31T09:31:13.092+00:00Jerry Sadowitz - GobshiteLive album from 1987, withdrawn shortly after release as Jimmy Saville was going to sue him over some of his comments(!)...<br /><br />Something a wee bit different here, but somewhat timely seeing as how the Edinburgh Fringe is on just now and the capital gets infested with cunts for the month of August. Glasgow's original offensive comedian and self-proclaimed Gobshite, captured at the Assembly Rooms in his 1987 Fringe show.<br /><br />For anyone unfamiliar with Mr Sadowitz a wee look at his <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Sadowitz>Wikipedia entry</a> should provide a good entry point, before listening to this show. None of his magic here, this is strictly nasty-as-fuck humour. <br /><br />I remember seeing him in the comedy tent at the 1991 Reading Festival (I think James were headlining the main stage so go figure) and he got heckled to fuck by the right-on brigade. He was right up my 18yr old street back then though, and this still sounds pretty good just now. You've got to bear in mind that people like Princess Di were still alive and well at the time, and many of the other references will require a bit of back-tracking to remember.<br /><br />I hear that he doesn't let any of his stuff go up on YouTube so it will be interesting to see if this post stays up (hello Jerry!), but it's been out of print for over 20 years so I don't see why it shouldn't get another airing just now. <font color=red>I did not upload this (someone else's rip) - I am merely pointing to a link that comes up <a href="http://www.softsclub.com/music/145740-jerry-sadowitz-gobshite-album-1987-a.html">here</a> after a <a href="http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=%22jerry+sadowitz%22+gobshite&btnG=Search&hl=en&safe=off&sa=2">quick google</a>.</font><br /><br />No festival gig for Jerry this year, but I see that he's playing some shows south of the border. I'm annoyed to have missed him in Glasgow a while back but will definitely catch him next time.<br /><br />His opening gambit mentions two Ripped In Glasgow favourites - <a href="http://rippedinglasgow.blogspot.com/search/label/big%20audio%20dynamite">Big Audio Dynamite</a> and <a href="http://rippedinglasgow.blogspot.com/search/label/julian%20cope">Julian Cope</a> - so he's right at home here...<br /><br /><img src=http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8lRGZoO4YYE/TGAw-A8WfrI/AAAAAAAAB9I/kh55LzH4bmU/s400/Screen+shot+2010-08-09+at+17.46.15.png width=300><br /><br /><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/337671348/JSGS.rar">Jerry Sadowitz - Gobshite</a>Moggieboyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16978347390625182242noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2573115975270822887.post-72890209457449920262010-08-09T13:26:00.005+01:002014-10-31T09:31:13.144+00:00Andrew Weatherall - 6 Mix - 8 Aug 2010Latest instalment of his occasional 6 Mix show, broadcast last night.<br /><br />He seems a bit fucked after his trip to the Big Chill, but is still (mostly) firing on all cylinders for this set. Worryingly, the exclusive solo track (Poem Or Prayer) is from a new album which "may never see the light of day" due to legal wrangles. Wonder what that's all about?!? <br /><br />There are a couple of changes to his handwritten setlist that appears below as well, most notably the addition of the Chris Carter mix of Factory Floor, which has been very popular on my turntables in recent weeks.<br /><br />Make sure you check out the interesting reinterpretations of a couple of classics down near the end of the main set - I particularly like the Touch Me I'm Sick one, will need to get <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Its-Shame-About-Gemma-Ray/dp/B003UQZY4I/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dmusic&qid=1281346525&sr=8-1">the album</a> that's from.<br /><br />For once I've actually managed to edit out the news as well, so it's a 3-part ZIP file. Woo-hoo!<br /><br />No sign of the cover of Blue Monday mentioned on the tracklisting below, but <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aeob-f9ea6U">here it is on YouTube</a> if you feel the need.<br /><br />Oh, did I mention the half-hour mix at the end? Fuckin magnificent! I shit you not - it's got a bit of an old-skool flavour, what with that piano on the first track then a wee kinda Mory Kanté flavour (a lazy comparison, I know) on the Mim Suleiman tune. The final track's a remix off the 'Pox' album that was floating about on Soundcloud for a while but seems to have been pulled now. Hmmm...<br /><br /><img src=http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8lRGZoO4YYE/TFw6RGrXzmI/AAAAAAAAB9A/eIYwzFQHwts/s400/photo-4.jpeg width=300><br /><br /><a href="http://www.megaupload.com/?d=4UOEDFYQ">Andrew Weatherall - 6 Mix - 8 Aug 2010</a> (<a href="http://www.sendspace.com/file/xmrg9c">alt link</a>)<br />1 - The Plastic People of the Universe - Midnight Mouse<br />2 - Sam Spence - Water World<br />3 - The Ify Jerry Krusade - Nwarantina/Die Die<br />4 - Circus - Love Of The Morning<br />5 - Digital Dinosaurs - Aliens In Your Skies<br />6 - Wild Nothing - Summer Holiday<br />7 - Effi Briest - Long Shadow<br /><br />8 - Factory Floor - Lying (Chris Carter remix)<br />9 - Beach Fossils - Golden Age<br />10 - Ty Segall - My Sunshine<br />11 - The Skatalites - African Dub<br />12 - Ghostwriter - Like Brandy On A Cold Night<br />13 - Andrew Weatherall - Poem Or Prayer (exclusive)<br />14 - Chris Rotter with the Bad Meat Club - 86'd<br />15 - The Castillians - Limes<br />16 - Bosom Divine - Hangover<br />17 - Team Ghost - Colours In Time<br />18 - Electric Red Drive - Satisfaction<br />19 - Gemma Ray - Touch Me I'm Sick<br />20 - Jack Earls - Crawdad Hole<br />21 - Moebius & Plank - Conditionierer<br /><br />Andrew In The Mix<br />22 - Timothy J.

Off to see 'em at the <a href="http://www.electricfrog.weareeveryone.com/">Electric Frog Street Carnival</a> tomorrow and cannae fucking wait. Also appearing are Planetary Assault Systems (live) and Liquid Liquid (live), alongside the Optimo fellas so it should be a good day out.<br /><br />I've said it before and will no doubt say it again - this is THE band of 2010 for me, absolutely fuckin love 'em, and if you get the chance to experience the live show then you must go see it.<br /><br />I might have tagged the tracks wrong, as there's no indication on the label as to which side's which and the Discogs order doesn't match up with the vinyl. Not the end of the world though. <br /><br />Have a listen to the <a href="http://radiomagnetic.com/main-features/electric-frog-street-carnival-2010-preview/">Radio Magnetic Electric Frog Podcast</a> if you're swithering about whether it'll be a good idea to go along tomorrow or not. £32 might seem a bit steep but when you do the maths it's definitely worth it. <br /><br />Must attempt to take it easy tonight for maximum enjoyment tomorrow though...<br /><br />*EDIT* Check out the brand new Optimo FF-inspired 'g*th mix' over <a href="feed://www.optimo.co.uk/podcasts/index.xml">here</a>...<br /><br /><img src=http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8lRGZoO4YYE/TFK832VTNMI/AAAAAAAAB84/J93_PGwmWfc/s400/R-2043384-1261511850.jpeg width=300><br /><br /><a href="http://www.4shared.com/file/JY3gp7YU/FF_PA_2.html">Factory Floor - Planning Application EP</a><br />A1 - Taxidermist <br />A2 - Post Is Here <br />A3 - Francis, Francis <br />B1 - Felt Suit <br />B2 - I Was Always Wrong<br /><br /><a href="http://www.myspace.com/factoryfloor">Check oot the FF myspazz here</a>Moggieboyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16978347390625182242noreply@blogger.com4
