New Velvet Underground track! No, really!

Tuesday, February 26th, 2008

From Dead Flowers:
I’m not into VU bootlegs really, but apparently this is a big deal. It’s the ONLY available live stuff from 1967 and has only become available in literally the last two days. Recorded just after the release of The Velvet Underground And Nico and featuring the debut performance of Sister Ray (19 mins […]

Control radio

Friday, November 9th, 2007

To celebrate the release of Control, the Ian Curtis biopic (it’s just out in the States now too, y’know!) Viva Radio (aided & abetted by the most excellent Dan Selzer of Acute Records) have put together a 7 part radio special for your listening pleasure.
Including large chunks of the Factory Records catalogue, lots of Joy […]

If you (like me) couldn’t make it to the Cure in Auckland in August…

Wednesday, October 31st, 2007

Here’s the next best thing (kinda)! Download the entire gig (all 35 tracks) here from Kiwi Concerts, a newish blog ‘celebrating great concerts that took place in New Zealand’.
There’s some other good stuff there too, such as this Wellington gig from the Mozfather himself in 1991, the Zep from 1972 (!!), and plenty more […]

New Bloc Party Video, NME album download & more!

Friday, October 19th, 2007

You can see the video for the new Bloc Party single Flux (due out in the UK on November 14) right here.
An intriguing tale of love and robots (plus giant monsters) set to a pounding Moroder-esque Eurobeat with a slightly vocoder-ed Kele. Fantastic! And well worth a look.
Also from the NME, you can download […]

Andrew Weatherall news

Friday, October 12th, 2007

General all-round top geezer, genius and (kind of) Mick Jones lookalike Andrew Weatherall has a blog. Read it here.
And while we’re on the subject of the man himself, here’s a personal playlist he put together for a map of how he got from teenage glam fiend to Lone Swordsman. Includes everything from the buzzing […]

If you only have one hour of your life to listen to the Beatles…

Wednesday, October 10th, 2007

…your prayers have been answered! The complete Beatles catalogue sped up 800% to fit an hour long mp3.
Details here: http://blog.wfmu.org/freeform/2007/10/the-complete-be.html

Surprisingly enough, it’s pretty tough to listen to, but, things get more interesting/better when these sped up tracks are slowed back down again. Here’s Revolution & there’s a couple of other links at the site worth […]

New Order YouTube Goodness

Tuesday, August 28th, 2007

It’s been a while since I posted any YouTube videos, so here you go to get you in the mood for ATOMIC. 3 clips of New Order live in the BBC Radio 1 studios, 1984. Fantastic stuff, and well worth watching for the clothes alone (it must have been summer!!), and check Hooky’s work on […]

It’s Just Like A Cassette, But Not!

Tuesday, August 14th, 2007

From here:
Remember back in the days before digital music players and MP3s?
If you do, then you probably made compilations of all your favourite music, to share with your friends and loved ones, on good old fashioned blank cassette tapes.
If you miss making mix tapes this product will inspire you again!

Haha, I’m unsure what to make […]

Buy vinyl, get CD too!

Thursday, August 9th, 2007

So I picked up the new Interpol album Our Love To Admire on vinyl the other day from the good people at Slow Boat, and a very nice package it is - double 12″ in gatefold with inserts blah blah blah, BUT it also comes with a CD copy of the album which

allows me […]
