New 7" Vinyl Release on Wankdorf Recordings:

Artist: Electric Blanket
Title: I Never Ate That Bird  - incl. Remix by The Round Table Knights

Electric Blanket's strangely naive but not so innocent ear-candy «I Never Ate That Bird» is the first of a series of 7inch-singles (also available as download). The song creates a very uplifting, propulsive state of easiness and is typical for the bands very own mixture of indie pop and electronic influences around Singer Helenka's seductive voice.

On the singles b-side the remix by the notorious «Round Table Knights» takes control of the song and forms a «perfect for the dancefloor» disco-indie-pop piece. It comprises the same kind of relaxed euphoria that this DJ-Crew is so beloved for.

Was in the post today: Freeland's wicked, rockin new Breaks EP with a hint of fresh French influence from the likes of Mr. Oizeau, Sebastian, Justice. The tracks are written and produced by Freeland & Alex Metric, this explains the new sound I guess. Its a Freeland record alright, but different than I expected - and that's good as I wasn't sure if this UK Breaks thing would go anywhere. The title track has a rather minimal approach to the beats and sports some heavy low acid bass work. "Where's Your God Now?" is a slow and freaky tune on the verge of painful but cool. "Glowsticks" is the most classic track on the EP, but I think it's my favourite. Big party music. Nice one Adam.

Adam Freeland is out on his own label Marine Parade

I thought I'd ordered a box set of 7" vinyl, instead I got a replica 7" set on CD's..! Bloody weird that, - you get four CD's with two songs each... We'll, I now ordered the original Rough Trade singles one by one from Gemm. It is VERY good music. For some reason I had always kinda ignored this band, - they're fantastic really...!

Check "Kicker Conspiracy" for example... outstanding.
Here's some text from Daryl Easlea's sleeve notes to the singles box:

"The Fall's final Rough Trade single, the double-packed Kicker Conspiracy (Rough Trade RT 143) was also their first to benefit from a video. It was filmed at Burnley's Turf Moor Ground, in as a ramshackle fashion as possible to counterbalance the MTV generation that was now all-pervading. The song was a Smithsonian critique of English league football, arguably the first time this subject matter had been tackled intelligently in song. It was released in October 1983, the same month as Culture Club's Karma Chameleon and Frankie Goes to Holywood launched Relax.

It also brought the group full circle on the double-pack's second single, featuring BBC session versions of 1980's Container Drivers and New Puritan, from Grotesque and Totale's Turns respectively. The four tracks on the single encapsulate everything sublime about the band. From upbeat rants to ponderous repetition, 'Mancabilly' and weird-out, all Fall styles were served here."

Kicker, Kicker Conspiracy. Kicker, Kicker Conspiracy.
J. Hill's satanic reign.
Ass-lickers King O'Team.
Kicker, Kicker Conspiracy...

Kicker, Kicker Conspiracy...
Former fan at the bus stop.
Treads on the ball at his feet, in the christmas rush.
And in his hands, two lager cans.
Talks to himself. At the back. At the top.
What are the implications of the club unit?

«The Tape vs. RQM - Luvely» with Remixes by Chris de Luca, Kalabrese & Filewile is out now!

The Tape vs RQM is Berlin based producer Robot Koch (Jahcoozi, Autodrive, MMDC) and Polish Brooklyn born, Barcelona resident MC RQM (Al Haca, Stereotyp, I-Wolf, Filewile). The EP Luvely features the original track and three remixes by Chris de Luca (Funkstörung), Filewile and Kalabrese.

Luvely is a soulful, Rock-Electronica tune, built on a strong Hip Hop foundation. The intro gives the impression of listening to a live band play - an impression that remains throughout the track, even though the electronic production is hardly concealed. A Heavy rhythm section, super tight arrangements, intelligent in your face rhymes and an incredible over all groove make up this monster of a tune. Strange this piece was made in Berlin, when it sounds so incredibly American. It's just so very soulful, so big city sound, so 70's influenced, so movie score... so big! This sounds like the Mahavishnu Orchestra of Hip Hop - from a Billy Cobham kinda angle - so take it as a compliment.

We have a bunch of brandnew T-Shirts available in our Online Store

Radiohead at present sell their new album "In Rainbows" exclusively through their website. You can define your own price for the download album, starting from as low as £0.45 - which is the minimum credit card fee. The Album is available for download or a disc set including vinyl, cd and download, - for which the cost is set at a minimum of £40.- (CHFr. 97). Even tough the disc set only gets shipped only on december 3rd - it is made to order - the download link gets presented to you immediately if you buy the disc set.

I managed to buy the download on the release day, after a few attempts, -guess because their servers couldn't quite handle the demand. It's another beautiful Radiohead album and the artwork for the discs looks great, unfortunately the download doesn't include cover artwork.

We were discussing how much people might pay for a download and if Radiohead would make as much money from this like they would if released through a major label and regular channels... hard to say, their huge fan base will probably pay a decent amount - and with all proceeds going straight to the artists (no distribution cost etc.) this may even work out. I paid £ 5 for the download AND ordered the disc set, -because for some reason I had understood even the download would only be available in december if ordered with the box set... Ah well, since the 160 kbps MP3's are without DRM, I passed on one of the albums ;)
