the vivian girls are going to split up soon

shhhhhhhhh

the xsex

the xx have 'done an mgmt'. doing mgmt involves having a few good songs that are overplayed by almost everyone to the extent where they are no longer enjoyable and then producing a lack lustre album. kinda feel sorry for them, but i can no longer enjoy their music. give it a year or two till the buzz has died down and they might be fun again.

it's been a while (again). here's a remix i did of my friends awesome musical project ursine vulpine: http://rapidshare.com/files/372233537/raijin_4.rar
you can here the original along with plenty of other of his tunes here: http://www.myspace.com/ursinevulpine

D/R/U/G/S

are the next big thing.

spotifucked.

i would make you all a spotify playlist but my internet connection is too slow for spotify to work so just listen to these in order:

THERE IS A COLDEST DAY IN EVERY YEAR.

it's been a while....

haven't posted for ages, been dead busy with uni/making music/helping people out. anyway keep yr selves occupied with this beauty:

http://hoya-hoya.blogspot.com/2010/03/do-not-fear.html

haven't got time to say much about it but what I will say is:

Illum Sphere

80 minutes

80's boogie.

Trilingual Dance Sexperience

i've found the party flat in my halls. it's genius.
a couple guys off my course live there, as I type most of them haven't been to sleep for two nights, they make their money trading drugs and generally party all the time.
They still do all uni work and turn up to more lecture than me and have brilliant taste in TV and music. It kinda reminds me of a friends house towards the end of last summer - always welcome, always a good time to be had and always someone interesting there to talk to. It's awesome although i'm glad I don't live there, nowhere near hardcore enough. anyway here's some vids.
Nice track, ace vid. Dorian Concept's Trilingual Dance Sexperience:

this is one of my favourite songs of all time. it's close to perfect. The National - Secret Meeting:

i absolutely hate it when news reports describe '6 Britons missing after earthquake' etc. I don't care what country the people happened to be born it, it doesn't matter. It gives the impression that these British people are somehow more important than any of the other people who suffered in the earthquake, are they?

in other news:

I don't give a shit about 6 music, it was mainly playing lame indie shit anyway. NME Radio is way better My Bloody Valentine album tracks on national radio? yes please!

I do give a shit about Plastic People, i've never been there but i've seen so many line up for that place that have me in awe, hope to go there one day.

where the party at?

had a sweet weekend in the middle of no where/North Yorkshire being countryside with some bro's. going from Manchester where I have to travel for a maximum of 15 minutes to be anywhere I want to having to walk for miles to get to the nearest shop was very refreshing, as was being without the internet.

anyway, here's some mixes i've made for some friends for their birthdays, none of them are perfect but they're all pretty nice.

Mark's mix

This one goes from electronic stuff to more traditional indie rock.

Reuben's Mix

This one goes in the opposite direction.

Hank's Mix

Mainly Brainfeeder Nosaj Thing, Flying Lotus type stuff.

Tracklists are included in the .zip files.
