Mine goes up to eleven.

err... Lick My Love Pump 

 

I browsed around on FYE.com and came across some interesting bands:

- Mira (interesting guitar work, nice female singer)
http://www.mira.nu/

- Black Tape For A Blue Girl (strings, choir like vocals)
http://www.blacktapeforabluegirl.com/

- Attrition (synth-beat stuff)
http://www.projekt.com/projekt/artist.asp?id=1000

I'm glad I found these few, I like the music and you know, it's not on the radio and it's not on MTV and it's better than what's out there. Go hunt for music that needs to be heard! 

I wish they'd hurry up and release their new album already.

If you liked them, you might like Halou (more synth-ish); maybe Cranes circa Loved; perhaps The Plague Monkeys (underrated unfortunately now defunct); and, of course, the Cocteau Twins (...indescribable). 

Was messing around with a Commodore 64 emulator last night and found a pretty cool sound program for it. I was jamming around and I then remembered that my sound card has output recording. So I made this little, crazy sounding live session. There ended up being like a grinding in the background -- but I liked how it sounded and left it in :D

If there's anything you want to take from it, chop it up and use it as you wish. There's some noisy/industrial stuff going on at points, so feel free!

I've been listening too

The Killers - Saw em in Chicago and had a great time. Have tickets to Detriot show in a week and a half. Check em out, great 80s new-wavish alt rock dancy stuff

Ambulance Ltd - Opened for Killers, didn't know them at the time. Pretty much love em as much as Killers now. Very emo/indie ish, but very listenable and fun. Check em out.

Scissor Sisters - Just gotten into them, Elton John like rock/piano stuff. Takes a bit to grow on ya, but then you can't get em out of your head.

Polyphonic Spree - Besides the fact they are a cult, no matter what their crazy Jesus like singer says, they are just so fun to listen to. I mean the lyrics are rediculous but some how I feel pure 70s/Brady Family like elation.

Zero 7 - Good relaxation music, good stuff to wake up to. If you get into a mapping grove this seems to keep you into it cause it just pulls you along and doesn't distract you from your mapping.

Thats about it for now. 

is where it's at... I partied with him last night and he's even sexier in person than in his videos. Since then I've been playing Easy Pass at full volume and feeling funky. 

I've been getting alot of good feedback (including someone saying "it sounds like Martin Galway meets Suicide meets Olivier Messiaen) about this one on some other channels and messageboards so for those of you who haven't heard this, check it out.

I made it a few weeks ago just to test out some sounds on a C64 emulator (note: this track is different from the one in #148)

Enjoy

Isis' Panopticon that is! 

...played that track you DCC'd a while ago on the radio show (theme was Integrity and Music). Well received by the dudes in the studio and no one fell offline while it was playing. The ex-drummer from 28 Days (now tech-percussionist with K-Oscillate dug it a lot.

Solar Genius by Stef is awesome! 

25/26th October 2004: John Peel, veteran radio DJ and legendary music afficiando, died from a heart attack whilst on a working holiday in Peru, aged 65.

He had been working in broadcasting for over 40 years, and presenting an extremely highly-regarded show on Radio1 for over 30 years.

During this time he championed all genres of music from the mildest and most accessible to the most esoteric and extreme. He brought a huge number of influential bands to the British public's attention including New Order, The Smiths, The Fall, Pulp, Nirvana, PJ Harvey, and many others, and in recent decades became one of the earliest promoters of electronic music on national radio. He also presented a listener-orientated show called Home Truths on Radio4, and as well as his unparalleled love of music, his warm, intelligent, and "fatherly" nature stood out in an era of brash, arrogant presenters falling over themselves to be cool. No-one who heard his show could underestimate just how good it was as a genuine and true music show.

I've been a fan of Peely for many years, from when I was into metal and he introduced me to the delights of Carcass and Bolt Thrower as well as many good indie bands, to when I got into dance music and ended up recording no less than 26 cassettes absolutely packed with brilliant drum'n'bass and techno he played. At any time I always appreciated his open-minded and ultra-broad music tastes. I met him when I won a place at a live Lab4 set played on his show, and he was a genuinely nice and witty guy. Unfortunately I'd lapsed from listening to his show in the last couple of years....and now I no longer can.

RIP to a true music legend. 

I have a great amount of respect for Peely and all he achieved, and I was really quite upset when I heard the news.

You really can't overestimate the amount he single-handedly affected the music scene; just looking at the tributes that bands and artists have been sending in shows how much he and his shows were respected and loved.

RIP indeed, I really will miss his show 

I have very fond memories of the Peel Sessions.

...missed indeed. Let's hope at least another as good steps into the breach. 

The show is finally up:

Gonna check it out now...I finished that tune you wanted for your next show...

http://blitz.circa1984.com/Blitz%20-%20Soul%20of%20a%20Parasite%20(In%20Memory%20of%20Vlad).mp3

Enjoy. 

...I'll run that under the third leg of the discussion. That way it definitely won't be edited out of the archived show. 

I listened to the whole show but it got cut out? Oh well. 

...I asked Simon not to cut it. Bleh! Heads will roll.

Was the reference to it in there at least? 

How did Blitz get away with a super long url?
