Zongamin - Bongo Song

Huzzah, someone else mentions the Japanese genius that is Zongamin. I believe that track is only reall available on Annie's DJ Kicks album, but I can heartily recommend his eponymous album which is absolutely brilliant.

 

[LDR]

Ballad of Broken Seas. My Good Lady Wife has gone to bed and this is quiet enough not to wake her.

 

[Orang Utan]

It's on the new Fabric mix by Spank Rock, though I haven't listened to it yet - I only bought it cos it has the Tangerine Dream track that you hear in THAT rude scene on the train in Risky Business

The Mighty Wah! - Songs Of Strength & Heartbreak

it's mostly comfort music really -
starts missing/getting nostaligic for Peel, Andy Griff (giraffe) and black cat bone.

 

[Iam]

Griff's still there, still talking about Dexy's making the best record ever.

 

[The_Reverend_M]

Grant Lee Phillips 'Nineteeneighties' (Collection of Country tinged Folk covers of 80s indie classics - perfect for the morning after the night before )

 

[rollinder]

Griff's still there, still talking about Dexy's making the best record ever.

it was his fault I bought that bloody Wylie album

I pop back and lurk ocassionally usually end up quickly rembering why I drifted away or wondering what I ever saw in it.

now playing: the very best of dexys - had to be done.

Because Of You is fucking terrible.

[rekil]

Guy Clark compilation. Haven't listened to it in years. He's great.

 

[LDR]

Just been browsing through Kasabian, Empire. No doubt this is laughable, but I only heard of them last week, and find out the've just won an NME award and are chummy with the Gallagher boy.

Bit isolated here.

I'm playing them now. Empire arrived off Ebay today. I only brought it 'cause it was cheap and they are headlining the Isle of Skye festival that I'm off to next month. I hadn't heard their stuff before.

They're not unpleasant but not particularly inspiring either. Middle of the road music for people who can't decide whether they want to listen to dance, indie or rock.

I'm putting John Denver back on now.

Athletic Mic League - Sweats & Kicks

One of the most slept-on underground records around. For shame.

[Skim]

After days of playing clicky minimalism, I woke up this morning in the mood for some African sounds... Femi Kuti, Cheikh Lo, Ali Farka Toure, Tony Allen, Tinariwen etc. Very summery. I need to be at a festival now.
