I just got some Stakka and Skynet and some "intelligent drumnbass" called the "Winter and Spring" EP. ....

"An experimental dive into atmospheric drill & bass idm. Winter and Spring was originally released on the net early 2004. The original album is no longer available because of the death of its host. So a re-release with ten carefully chosen re-mastered tracks was needed to make this spring complete. .."

BRISTOL, Great Britain -- 'Kintana' is the first captive bred aye-aye, an arboreal nocturnal lemur, Daubentonia madagascariensis, a native to Madagascar, to be born in the United Kingdom. Bristol Zoo Gardens announced that it is the first UK zoo to successfully breed and hand-rear an aye-aye, the largest nocturnal primate in the world and one of the strangest mammals on the planet.

MILLAU, France -- People look at the Millau bridge, the world's tallest traffic bridge. Construction workers have nearly completed work on the roadway of the bridge, a viaduct that soars over a valley in southern France. The bridge, reaching about 270 meters (890 feet) at its highest point, will be inaugurated by President Jacques Chirac on Dec. 14 and opens to traffic on Dec. 17. (12/09/04 AP photo)

Fiendish Music Quiz

Name all 270 bands in this music quiz posted in the music section of the Observer's blog.

"..This fiendish music quiz has been emailed around the Observer, causing potential productivity meltdown. The blog got it from Snake - yes, his name is Snake - on the Sports Desk, a man with some knowledge of obscure bands.

The record to beat is, I think, 266 out of 270.

No report yet on how the Music Monthly team handled it...."

And a story..
"..This is a personal story of enlightenment, found in a tattered notebook in the library of a burned down mansion, a long tale that seems to twist in on itself like a snake devouring its own tail. It is a map and a manifesto, but who would follow it, for it seems to be drawn inside out with the heavens in the middle of the earth. It is a stone, slammed into the face of reality and left to sink, with the ripples whispering its name across the chaotic seas of time. It is both truth and illusion, duking it out to see who will get the last laugh.

Read on if you would hear my tale…

The cactus had been smuggled up from Peru, and the labels on the bags read San Pedro: Saint Peter, keeper of the gates of heaven. It had sat in the laboratory of the mansion for months, waiting for.."

Diffraction - D'n'B

Download a track from their site here.

"Absolute mayhem" apparently.

"...5 good reasons not to steal our copyright!


All our CD’s are currently hand finished by the artists. We take your order, record a CD from our computer (so there is virtually no loss of quality between the master and you), design your album cover, print your album cover, cut it with a guillotine and send it to you. The quality of the printed, finished product is great, and handmade - like proper art should be!

We’re not going to make these CD's by hand forever … and one day we could be famous … so these CDs could be worth a lot of money … and then you’ll be sorry you didn’t buy one …!?!

Most people assume that by downloading a tune they’re only stealing from huge faceless corporations that make millions of pounds a year. We’re a tiny label … there’s like four of us … we make no money doing this …!

Nearly all of the money we make from this goes back into buying better equipment to produce better sounding songs. The more our tunes get downloaded the less we can afford to shell out on new equipment.

MP3’s sound awful. Really bad. Honestly. Sit down with the same song on CD and MP3 and compare them. You wouldn’t be listening to our stuff if you couldn’t hear the difference!..."

The Hit Kit

Hit Kit Review and minisite with full manuals etc.

No Ripcord.com

Their album reviews are more than just a review...see here..
Mogwai - Government Commissions LP :
"...What was clearest about the ‘Gwai from an earlier stage was how much they meant it. Lead guitarist and musical supremo Stuart Braithwaite promoted the band with t-shirts declaring ‘blur: are shite’, and then went on to explain that if it ever went to court he had the musical training to prove it. When they were invited to record for the Evening Session, the brilliant showcase on national radio started by, of all people, Mark Goodyear, and tragically buried by the moronic ‘dj’ (ahem) Zane Lowe, they produced the monstrous, staggering, 18-minute epic Like Herod. Live, Mogwai are supreme. I saw them at Kentish Town once and audience members were unable to either watch or hear much of the set, so intense was the world-ending noise and light emanating from the stage.."

And M83 " Before the Dawn Heals Us" :
"...somewhere between the vast, glacial movements of Sigur Ros or Múm and the homespun reveries of My Bloody Valentine, what singles M83 out from the crowded milieu of French electronica is the beguilingly energetic pace coupled with intricate respites of almost catchy melody and ghostly vocals...."

Arcade Fire - "Funeral":
"...Arnold Schoenberg, the great pioneer of the classical avant garde, once said that there was still plenty of great music left to be written in C major. I think we can also conclude that there’s still plenty of inspiration left to be milked from the traditional rock form; two guitars, bass, drums, a pounding beat and a baroque keyboard flourish now and again. It must be true since Arcade Fire just proved it. Their new album, Funeral, is so fresh and exciting it’s hard to believe they are operating in an old and potentially stale form. Not only are the songs uniformly excellent, they also show a mastery of the art of controlled dynamics, of tension and release, that most young bands ignore to pursue the catharsis of sustained intensity. But as any woman will tell you, intensity is great, young chap, but you’ve got to build up to it. Arcade Fire sticks to the basics and keeps it simple. There is not a wasted or superfluous moment on this record...."
Great stuff..

The Best 90 Minutes of My Life

Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore on the power of the mix tape.
"..So I made what I thought was the most killer hardcore tape ever. I wrote H on one side, and C on the other. That night, after my love Kim had fallen asleep, I put the tape in our stereo cassette player, dragged one of the little speakers over to the bed, and listened to it at ultralow thrash volume..."
"....For those of us who think that digital delivers a harsher sound than analog, it's a sonic nightmare dealing with the new world reality of MP3s. They're even more compressed and harsh than CDs, and in the case of vintage grooves - be it Led Zeppelin, Bad Brains, or Pavement - sound even more detached from musical vibration..."

I'm hoping this is the track off the "performance" soundtrack I had years ago on tape. Awesome slide guitar.
This tune is on the fantastic diddy wah.
Diddy Wah is a proper mp3 evaluation blog. Lots written about each tune they post. All very well researched as well. Nice blog.
