This guy is incredible, home made/hacked electronic toy instruments which he introduces in the rest of his youtube videos and pretty amazing freaky music. He’s got some of his older stuff on spotify as well which is more straight forward indie stuff with ample ukelele and is pretty great.

Top Soil by Bibio, wonderful hazy music that somehow seems to sound exactly like my childhood…those distorted tape effects make me go weak at the knees…

Most folks know that William Shatner had a spoken word music career but Leonard Nimoy (Spock) also released a whole bunch of albums, some featuring amazing cheesy sci-fi instrumentals of pop songs, and others with even more surreal spoken word songs. Here’s his version of Music To Watch Girls Go By

Here’s the result of my latest fiddlings with recording stuff, It’s called Something Sinister and is kind of like Serge Gainsbourg meets HP Lovecraft. It’s my most best and most complex recording to date, plus my first foray into spoken word, watch out Bill Shatner.

So remember that time I fell in love with a rather charming piece of nuclear waste? and then our relationship degraded like a fragile isotope?

No? well I wrote a song about it anyway. It’s called Cheryl Chernobyl

or in other words I’ve been experimenting with drum machines and put a simple beat to an old punky song of mine. please excuse the shite quality, computer has been playing up, for some reason it ate a few beats. also the guitar solo is shite but the magic just wasnt coming and I couldnt be bothered to do it again, you get the jist of what I wanted to do.

This song made me smile. Then I realised it sounded like Morph singing. Then it made me smile more.

Why I Quit Touring with the Black Eyed Peas

Sun, 23 May 2010 11:28:22 +0100

Why I Quit Touring with the Black Eyed Peas:

For a while now I’ve been under the impression that the Black Eyed Peas represent the downfall of society and in particular that the song “I’ve got a feeling,” is like a musical version of Soma, with our kids consuming it blindly by the bucketload dragging them further and further into a numbing compliance to a hollow society. I’m not writing ironically, nor am I trying to use hyperbole for comic effect. I abhor this band and their music. They are Non-Rock of the highest degree.

Here’s a nice article by an ex-roadie of the BEP’s explaining why he quit working with them.

So, one evenings dicking about with recording software and multitrack stuff yielded this. A cautionary tale about the dangers of the butterfly effect. I call it Time Travel Boogie.

I might re-do the vocals cos…well they’re a bit shit but i couldnt be arsed to do another take.

I recently rediscovered this video whilst researching a story, I’m still blown away by just how damn stylish it is and how brilliant the animation is.

Also the guy behind it has been apparently signed up to make the Scott Pilgrim videogame. Nerdgasm!

Here’s a full on slice of mental from the late great Malcolm Mclaren, taken from his Waltz Darling album it was a strange attempt to fuse pop, funk and classical music. There’s an amazing funky bassline thanks to Bootsy Collins and a really stinging Jeff Beck guitar solo. it’s so 80’s, but so fun.

Lisa Hannigan’s version of the great Nick Drake song Black Eyed Dog, this was from a BBC show the other day full of Nick Drake covers, it’s worth watching if you get the chance, I think this was the standout moment of it though
