Good stuff tonight. First, a few quick mini-rants.
New AC/DC Album To Be Wal-Mart Exclusive
Thanks guys, that means I can steal it guilt free. So I take it Wal-Mart paid you a fuckload of money in order for this to happen? What about your fans who don’t like Wal-Mart? Fuck them right? Make it hard for your customers to give you money and watch what happens you stupid fuckers. It’s not like you assholes recorded a good album in the past 20 years anyways. My favorite AC/DC song is the one about sex, by the way.
Amy Winehouse Apologizes…
I went from liking this chick to pitying her to hating her. Now I just wish the stupid crack whore would die already so we as a people could move on.
“Wah Wah, I’m an indie-twat.”
Fuck you. This is The Orb’s best album in years and a return to form. Pitchfork should not be allowed to review electronic albums since they wouldn’t know good electronic music if it sampled them in the ass. I’ll link to my review once I get off my lazy ass and finish it.
Okay, now I feel better.
Kula Shaker
Hush (Extended Version)
Hush (Remix)
The original version of this cover first appeared on the soundtrack to the Jennifer Love Hewitt/Sarah Michelle Geller shitstorm I Know What You Did Last Summer. That movie was a serious pile of shit and even worse was its awful sequel. However, even worse than the awful sequel was its awful soundtrack, which included Orgy’s cover of New Order’s Blue Monday; fucking blasphemy. One a related note, Orgy has to go on my list of worst band names of all time, right next to Hot Tuna and Hoobastank.
Coldplay
A Spell A Rebel Yell
This is the exclusive track that is only available on a 7” single that was packaged with an issue of NME a couple of weeks ago. Since no one should be forced to buy NME, here it is. Not a bad tune. I’m actually starting to come around to Coldplay again, which is really saying something considering how much I hated X&Y. I guess that’s proof to the power of Brian Eno’s production skills.
Gang Of Four
I Love A Man In Uniform (Remix)
I Love A Man In Uniform (Dub Version)
Producer
Totally the best band ever to be named after a group of Chinese communists. These tracks from from a 12” single. You can get the remix and the B-side “Producer” on the compilation A 100 Flowers Bloom, but not the dub version. Suck it Rhino!
Babylon Zoo
Spaceman (Radio Edit)
Spaceman (The 5th Dimension)
Spaceman (Arthur Meets The Spaceman)
Spaceman (E Before I)
I had never heard this song before last week, when I picked it up on a whim from a dollar bin. Little did I know that at one point it was the fastest-selling debut single of all-time in the UK, with over 400,000 sold in one week. Apparently it was because of its inclusion in a Levi’s commercial…I don’t need to add a witty comment to mock that because that mocks itself. Amazingly great example of silly 90s electronic music though and it’s been stuck in my head since I first heard it. Added note, the radio edit and “Arthur” mix of the song were remixed by Arthur Baker of New Order production fame.
*sigh*
Just stumbled onto your blog, and you seem to have eaten my brain or something of the sort. The music I may be interested in is the music you’ve posted. None of the artists are really new to me, but some tracks are. Thank you.
I was one of the persons who actually bought the single 12 years back – oh, to be young again! Quite some time ago while arranging my music collection I discovered this single again and found I liked it. There are some nice b-sides on it as well, especially the etheral “Blue Nude”. Thanks for posting the additional remixes, I have never heard them.

Interesting rant about musicians trying new business models (Eagles anyone?) from a blogger who posts music for fans like me to download for nothing. Anyway, love the Kula, Gang and the Garbage.
I still love Amy….AND YOU TOO! 😛 DEAL WITH THAT!! You and your crazy remixes.
…But then again, my emotions for people like that run in sort of a cycle, like with britney. Ah. The fickle cult of celebrity.
Yes, Amy could do us all a favor and drop off the face of the earth. Amazing a crack whore can win a grammy! What the F**K does this tell the younger generation?
please steal from walmart and any artist out there that cuts a deal with them… I like ac/dc but it sucks that they are selling out to walmart – selling out is ok, just not to scum
Seems a shame to spoil the rants above…and your fun in responding…but I do love your blog. Always interesting posts and music.
Found your site from another source that now escapes me, But I totally love and dig the vinyl rips. They sound so clean and raw ! Thank you for this site , the variety, and for taking the time to dig through the crates to keep my mp3 player guessing. Cheers !
any chance to listen to the kula shaker hush remixes’ no more?
