Welcome To Monday…
…it’s been expecting you. First of all, allow me to get nerdy for a minute or two. Now, RSS news feeds, in the past I’ve found them to be plain frustrating, but that’s mainly due to the RSS feed readers that I’ve tried. I hate the layout and concept of retrieving the feeds and reading them. It just feels like one way email. So I’d sort of given up on the idea, until… Google came to the rescue. You can always rely on those bods … [read more]
Unearthing MySpace Gems
Today I have a special edition of Unearthing MySpace Gems to share with you. Each of the five artists are from the New York label Palms Out Sounds. But before I get started, here’s a run down of how Unearthing MySpace Gems works; all of the artists and groups I feature have one thing (at least) in common; all have had less than 10,000 page-views. If you know of any artists on MySpace, with less than that many page-views, that you think I should feature, … [read more]
Ch-Check It Out
Have I got some treats for you today! Firstly though, reading the Slutty Fringe blog yesterday reminded me to tell you all bout something. Some will know already, but others need to know… Rappers Delight Club y’all! They’re a bunch of elementary school children from Maryland, USA. The kids are aged 5 to 12 and rap their little hearts out under the tutelage of a high school teacher. You have to check out their MySpace page, add them to your friends and then leave … [read more]
Track of the Week
Got that Friday feeling? You should have… it’s Friday. So, track of the week time. These Australian fellas blew your headphones a few years back with an album called Since I Left You, they’ve since remixed a lot of stuff, changed some personnel, upset some Jamiroquai fans, and supposedly have a new album coming out some time in the near future. But, unless you are more than an avid fan, the chances are you wont have ever heard this track…

Venetian Snares – Szamár Madár
>> download <<
This download is a sample of the music only and must be deleted from your computer within 24 hours of downloading. This download link will expire on 3rd August.This isn’t new, far from it, but I thought I’d share something that many of you might not ever have heard before. Venetian Snares pioneered the genre drill & bass, although it’s now more widely known as breakcore, or as … [read more]
Teddybears!
What’s not appealing about that name?! It’s actually the name of a Swedish sort of electro punk dancehall group! Quite a blend of genres, I’m sure you’ll agree. These fellas are fine purveyor’s of energy, expelled through the medium of… music. Like many of this year’s “alternative-pop” acts, i.e. Lily Allen, Jamie T, Gotye, the Teddybears are sure to appeal to a wide demographic of listeners.The Teddybears have been around in their native Sweden since the early 90s, and in their early days were … [read more]
DJ Shadow – The Outsider
Panic on the internet! Panic over, MySpace is back in full effect. What a bunch of dependent bastards we are! Anyway, and more importantly, it means I’ve been able to go back and fix Sunday’s Unearthing MySpace Gems article. So, please, please, please, go and check it out and give those artists the time they deserve. Now, on to the serious issue at hand, my review of The Outsider, the new album by DJ Shadow…
I’ve read, spoken, listened, and moaned – but I’ve … [read more]News / Reviews / DJ Shadow / Discoveries
Happy Monday to you all. MySpace is still screwed. Turns out it’s to do with a powercut they’ve had in LA, screwed the servers or something. So, still feel bad bout yesterday’s totally bodged Unearthing MySpace Gems article. Once MySpace is back, I’m gonna edit that entry and get it done proper, then order you all to go back and check out those pages, and you will comply, oh yes, you will comply. Anyway, news…
Badly Drawn Boy is back! This is big news … [read more]Unearthing MySpace Gems
Sorry for the delay on posting today’s entry, bloody MySpastic has been down for ages, but it is back now and that’s what matters. So, five more pages to share with you all, as is the case every Sunday. Usual rules apply; all of the artists and groups I feature have one thing (at least) in common; all have had less than 10,000 page-views. If you know of any artists on MySpace, with less than that many page-views, that you think I should feature, please … [read more]
