Rustie

Friends with Hudson Mohawke, although you could tell that just from his music.
Their stuff is almost too similar really, but I like it so it doesn't really matter!

Here's a track of his called "Inside Pikachu's Cunt":

MEDIAFIRE

He's just been signed to Warp and I think he'll have a proper release out this year.

Some Good Bits



(Tony Senghore Remix)

Tuesday 12 January 2010

Fuck Ke$ha

Okay so that title is basically just hiding an Uffie post, but it is weird how much Ke$ha sounds like Uffie. Quite a bit of amusing stuff can be found by googling the issue.

Anyway, so Uffie is eventually releasing her debut album this Valentine's Day.
The Mr. Oizo produced lead-up EP/single MC's Can Kiss isn't amazing, but it's pretty funny.
A lot of her songs are amusingly reckless in one way or another.
MC's Can Kiss ends with her saying:
"...to travel the whole world/To do all kinds of stuff/I even tried out to play the saxophone/And you'll be the first one to hear how it sounds..."
Followed by a truly shit sax solo playing for ages as the track fades out.

Good outro, genuinely.

MC'S CAN KISS

And here's an older track (2007):

Mater Suspiria Vision

Friends with How I Quit Crack.
Together they are taking this blog on a bit of a bizarre detour.

How I Quit Crack

Not really a fan, but I stumbled across this on myspace and couldn't not share.

Full points for effort/vision though.

Way, way more videos and recordings on HER MYSPACE.

PALS

One Day



Kinda lame, but I do like this track.

Good strings.

Sounds a bit like Metronomy too actually.

NJS


Some (more) New Jack Swing, almost directly inspired by this great mixtape.



Plunderphonic

I like this "version" of Dolly Parton's The Great Pretender, rendered kinda dumb by John Oswald.

Apiento Remix

Not a fan of Apiento's other remixes, but I really like this one of "Excellent Birds".

I guess the original song is a pretty good starting point.

There's an amazing video for it at the beginning of that amazing "international satellite installation" I posted a while back.
