Mix Tape

Holy Fuck ...

... have a new album out called "Latin". Sounding great on the first couple of listens - possibly slightly less "full on" than their last album - it's still got the great driving rhythms and it still has the excitement generated by the feeling that the whole thing may fall to bits at any minute. But it has kind of floaty bits too.

This is the official vid of the track Latin America -



If you pre order 'Latin'  from my favourite record store Rough Trade you will also receive a bonus cd called 'Ghost' with four extra tracks.

Jónsi – go

Jónsi of Sigur Rós has a solo album out next week. It's called "Go" and you can read about it and order "special" and "limited" editions of it here .
I reckon if you like Sigur Rós you'll enjoy this.

You can pre-order it on vinyl from Amazon

Here's a track from the album to download -

Boy Lilikoi.mp3

Or you can stream a preview of the whole album from NPR Music

Watch Out For That Bat!

A shortish "mix tape" for you (it'd very nearly fill both sides of a C60).

Thanks to Cosmic Jane for help and inspiration with this one.

I'll bung up a track list later if anyone asks for one.

Watch out for that bat!

Pantha du Prince ...

... has a lovely new single out featuring Noah Lennox (aka Panda Bear out of off of Animal Collective) ...



And there's a Four Tet remix available for free download

The single is available as a 12" from Rough Trade and has remixes by Efdemin and Lawrence as well as Four Tet - I've ordered my copy even though I still don't have anything to play vinyl on ....

Caribou

Caribou were one of those bands I stumbled across at a festival (Primavera) and was completely blown away. I just couldn't stop grinning. I saw them again at Greenman and they were just as as impressive. I've played their Andorra album to death.
So now I'm ridiculously excited I've got tickets to see them at the Deaf Institute in Manchester on April 19th - the day before their new album, Swim, is released in the UK.
I've just download Odessa, the first single off the album from here and have played it 3 times back to back - let's hope the rest of the album is as good.

I'm the man, the very fat man ...

... that waters the workers beer.
I heard this on Desert Island Disks the other day and was reminded how much I like it.
Early dance music....
