We Reinterpret This Program...

A huge favourite back in 2005 Coburn's 'We Interrupt This Program' has been reworked by Tai (of DIM, 'Lyposuct' fame). I'd forgotten how good this song was and Tai adds some wonky bass to bring it crash up to date.

It's been pointed out to me that this is 'advertised' as an MP3 blog (it's on the tab description), so here's a few tunes that have been lighting my Rayburn (piece of shit).

Fuck Buttons - 'Surf Solar'

The Sound Of Arrows - 'Into The Clouds (Fear of Tigers Remix) On every blog around at the moment, but it's sooooo good. Neon Gold are geniuses

Rick Ross - 'Hustlin' (The Disco Villians Remix)'

Autumn's here and in the country I think you feel it more than in the towns. You look around and people and nature seem to be battening down the hatches. There's that sunlight in the evening now. The pale, almost dusty golden sunlight, that looks great if you're looking at it from some darkened glade, across a field dotted with sheep. It makes you feel poetic and calm. I like that a lot.

Pheasant's are looking nervous. I mean they always look and act a bit highly strung, but whether or not they can sense the shooting season approaching (and of course they can't), they seem to dive into a bush a lot quicker these days, when you pass by. The mess they made of my frigging lettuce, I reckon I'll be slinging some buck shot their way if I get the opportunity. They breed them round here somewhere and my normal rally to work was delayed by about five minutes, when I turned a corner to find about three hundred of the fuckers crowding the road. Stupid little things, darting this way and that like - well, chickens. They move like the Velociraptors move in Jurassic Park, but without the purpose, or, thankfully, the teeth.

There's a couple of squirrels that jump about in the walnut tree and they've started hoarding their nuts. I know where a couple of the stashes are and one night I'm going out and I'm going to move them. Just to mess with their little squirrel minds. You've got to find some way to pass the time out here.

Have I mentioned we have an Aga? A Rayburn to be exact, but much the same thing, as range ovens go. Absolute rubbish. If someone gushes to you that 'there's no better way to cook', then you know for a fact that, one they haven't got a job and, two, they've got more money than sense. The fucking things take about 3 hours to get to the right temperature for a start, which is triffic if all you've got to do is embroider all day, but a right pain in the ass if you're getting in from work at five and want to eat before eight or nine at night. Now, I'll admit that the Rayburn will cook the ass off a pizza (stonebake anyone?) and if you've got half a day, you can cook a lovely roast, but if you want to serve veg with that roast don't try and cook them on the top of a range, 'cause you'll be there for a week. At no point does anything actually boil. Pasta sort of goes soft, then wilts and gets all flowery, but the water never reaches boiling point. We wanted a chicken tikka last night and I, kid you not, had to cook it on the barbeque! You can't fry on it.

Economically too, you're screwed, because you have to have the oven on for an hour or two before you can cook anything, then once you've finished, all the heat just - does nothing. It's wasted. Well, actually it heats the water, but you might as well use a cigarette lighter to do that, for all the heat it generates in the water. And you know what the price of oils like nowadays., not to mention the £2500 you've already splashed out to buy an oven you can't fry chicken on.

Talking of ciggy lighters, don't light a fag after you've cleaned oil off the oven pipes (obvious one this), because you're fingers will, literally, burn. You'll look like Heatblast. I did.


No MP3s to post at the moment, or more honestly, that I can be bothered to post at the moment. Here's yet another video. Good one this. Not the sort of thing I'd usually post on here, but it'll get your feet moving. Mine are shuffling around, as I write. Check the styles...

Big Boss Man - 'Humanize'

I'll be posting something hilarious and insightful soon, with some tunes, but for now get your funk on, imagine it's still summer and you're having Factor 30 rubbed into your buttocks by some buxom beauties (believe me, you do NOT wanna burn your ass).

O'Spada - 'Time'

Suddenly the buxom beauty flips you over and you're in a whole new ball park all together...

Health - 'Die Slow'

AAArgh It's Flashback Corner!

The last good band to come out of Liverpool

I was going to say 'only good band', but thought that might be a little controversial...

Exit Calm - We're On Our Own

A new mix from Atomic Hooligan. Watch your bass bins...

Don Rimini

I've been following Don Rimini for a while now. In fact, since about 2006 when he complimented me on a version of a Para One tune I had on my Myspace player (I like him for his work, not his posted appreciation of my music taste, which coincidentally could get him arrested in some countries). He's been giving free mixes away on his page since about then and they're always a top notch selection of tunes, skilfully mixed. One of the highlights for me has to be Midnight Juggernauts 'Shadows' over the top of 2 Live Crew 'Face Down Ass Up', an audacious choice of tunes to open your set with. That's the great thing about his mixes, full of suprises. You can check out The Don Rimini Show on his Myspace, or download the most recent mix here. EDIT - Fairtilizer has THE most recent one here. This one's quite recent

Don Rimini - 'The Return Of The Don Mix'

Aside from the mixes and some kick ass remixes, for the likes of Count and Sinden and - err, Ray Parker Junior, he's released three EPs, the 'Time To Panic EP', 'Absolutley Rad', with the monster 'Let Me Back Up' and the 'Kick And Run EP', featuring 'Rave On'. He's at this minute embarking on a world tour, which even touches the UK...once, on a Monday night, in Manchester. Way to go Don. Make it a weekend next time, dude! Oh there is a Thursday night gig in Nottingham, but again...

Don Rimini - 'Karate'

Brave And The Bald (sorry)

Much excitement here at SS Cellars at the news that Vitalic's new album, 'Flashmob', is out on September 28th (you have to wait until November, if you're in the States. I'm not laughing, honest) Easily one of the best electronic artists in the game, this will be his third album (including the live one). Amazing to think that 'La Rock 01' was released in 2001!

Vitalic - 'Flashmob Minimix'

From the sound of this 12 minute mix of the album, it's going to be worth the four year wait since 'Ok Cowboy'. Superb

Rodion

Felix Cartal

The first time I heard of Felix Cartal was when Erol Alkan dropped 'Moss vs Tree' during one of his sets a few years back. To say it blew my head off would be an understatement. It has such a driving beat, it feels like you're strapped to the front of a high speed train, flashing through unmarked stations on the way to fuck knows where.

He released his Skeleton EP earlier this year and he's got an album coming out soon. The first track off that album is 'Drone' and you can hear it just here. It's released on September 3rd

Also here's 'Moss Vs Tree'. If you haven't heard it before, strap yourself well in.

This is MASSIVE

MAN HUG!!!

Bernard Sumner's new band Bad Lieutenant has an album out exclusively on Amazon as a digital download on October 6th for one week only, then on CD, still only on Amazon, from October 13th. Never Cry Another Tear features Phil Cunningham of New Order and Alex James of Blur, along with the drumming skills of Stephen Morris. Jake Evans also provides vocals on the album.

The first single 'Sink or Swim' is available as a free download from the bands website.

The Men Who Stare At Goats is a hilarious book by John Ronson, which has been adapted into a star crammed film. If they stick to the essence of the book (which the trailer suggests they have) this should be great. If they've fucked about with it, don't go blaming me...
