Some chicken

Back in May The Necks did a 25 minute set for ABC in Australia. That's it there.

Seeing Through Shadows

"Me cyan' understand when a rocket ship explode yet everybody still want to fly...."

I decided I liked this set cut to the bone so no Burial track. Hopefully the .zips should unpack perfectly neatly in running order but in case they don't the order is as follows:


Part 1: Junior Boys>>>Superpitcher>>>Loco Dice>>>Theo Parrish

Part 2: Digital Mystikz>>>El-B>>>Loefah>>>Pinch>>>Kode9

just downloaded about half the next installment...god bless booze.

TOAD on the way

Advance warning: the new zine makes mention of Re:cent 11*2006, another selection of current listening Chez Gasco. I'll post it here for download via the usual services as soon as a physical copy of the zine is in my hand. If you can't make this interweb thing work I can mail you an MP3-stuffed CDr instead; just email me. -- marco

Seychelles organ funk

Heya all,

Here a great African 70's track I once found somewhere online... hear that crazy slick organ and the supersweet singing! It's in old colonial patois french (dialect) which makes it even more special.

Thomas Alexie - Mon Dorina

But We had More mp3 Blogs Last Week

I point you in the direction of a couple of new mp3 blogs from my Dublin confreres, Don Rosco and Justin Mason (you might find me posting on this one occasionally too). I should make it clear that Justin has made an exceptionally fine start by uploading Terry Riley's "You're No Good", which I have been dying to hear for years....

Words + Music

So yeah, I work for a publishing company (OK, I run a...) and I also like to rock. So how can I combine these two interests? How, how indeed.

Yeah, OK, so some ain't so funny but hell, there's hundreds of the buggers so there's probably at least a snort or two somewhere.

Samplers, start your engines

John Bonham drum outtakes.

Wolfgang was his real name, geddit?

I'll totally feel like a tool if somebody in FA has already mentioned this, but that dude who bought Bill Graham's Fillmore/Winterland/Etc archive is streaming selected tasty bits at Wolfgang's Vault. So far this morning I've heard pre-1st-LP Santana (surprisingly thin sound), Incredible String Band from '69, Dylan from '75 ("Sara," urgh), Elvis Costello from '78, Mark-Almond, Mountain, Traffic, Byrds from '70, Emmylou Harris from '75, and right now it's the 11 Feb '69 Dead and "Dark Star." Pretty good selection, updated Thursdays.

Maybe It's The Booze Talking...

...but I can't stop listening to this.

Mind you, the Hot Chip album is wrecking me also.
