Ok, o sa pun niste episoade din story and then we go back (…I go back) to my old … routine.
Asta inseamna, las o melodie sa curga si apoi incep sa scriu chestii.

Meanwhile, mi-am dat seama cat de obsedat sunt de muzica. In autobuz … in dus … la calculator … pe strada oriunde. Simt ritmul ala care face timpul sa treaca exact cum vreau eu sa treaca and that’s fuckkinnng sweeet.

It’s Fatboy Sliiimmm!!

The funk so brava … check it out now!

11 days ’till my birday !

First off, I have to apologise for the lateness of this post. It’s been busy; with all my reading week assignments due in and laptop failures to top it off nicely. I’ve left the “big one” hanging for a week now, completely unintentionally. Hoping not to disappoint, here we go:

Homophonic: one of DCUfm’s newest shows; currently the only show on the station catering for an LGBT audience. This show is James’ brainchild and I’ll be producing it for him for the last few weeks of the semester. Our first show was 9:00 to 10:00 Monday the 16th and we’d like to think it came across well.

The Lineup:

• Introduced the Show with “Spandex Man” by Mr. Scruff (a song used in Spaced)
• Paper Planes by M.I.A
• Gay community news (including celebrity gossip and the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon)
• Groove Is In The Heart by Dee-Lite
• Events, nights out things for the LGBT community to get involved with.
• Take Your Mama by The Scissor Sisters
• Snack review and giveaway: this week’s snack was some ginger root sweets from the Oriental Emporium.
• Praise You by Fatboy Slim
• Interview: James’ interview with MarriagEquality
• Take On Me by Aha

Credit where credit is due: thanks to Diarmuid Hayes for being our first guest co-host.

Not gay (but supportive)

There’s a quite an unexplainable thrill that comes from working a live studio mixing desk, having a sense of control and power over the show (when it goes right). Its similar to my first love of  editing, because while the raw content has to be good, the editing (or the mixing) has to be better. It comes down to the editor(or producer) to take the raw content and mould it into the final product.

Anyway, I got through the hour without any major malfunctions, pulling up and down the levels at the right times, me and James cueing off each other nicely. James was great too, nervous at first but expertly finding his feet as we went along; new territory for both of us and another…

(BLEEP-BLOOP)

…achievement unlocked!

Listen to HOMOPHONIC:  Monday nights 9:00 to 10:00. Also listen any time for quality student radio shows such as FINAL CUT: Wednesdays 8:00 to 9:00.

Prepare to take a journey through sound. We have many (well, five) destinations picked out for you today. This musical tour will take you to places unexpected. There is no unifying theme and your proxy-DJ grabbed these at random, or so it would appear.

So grab your bags and your Adderall and climb aboard. Your bags go in the overhead compartments or wedged under the jackass in front of you. Go ahead and toss that Adderall all over the tarmac. Where we’re going you won’t need an attention span.

Mighty Dub Katz – Keep On Truckin’ (Streetlife DJs Remix)
Yet another face of the prolific Fatboy Slim. This single was originally released in 1995, but was plucked from the back catalog and given a huge rerub by the Streetlife DJs. Retaining the silky smooth DJ chatter (“Your funky DJ… in touch with your needs…“) and all of the original funk, Streelife adds some chopped up samples, punched up bass and some noisy retro videogame sounds. Included in both the original and remixed forms below.

This…is…soul. Keep on truckin’.

Remix:

Original version:

Beyond the Wizard’s Sleeve – Bubble Burst
Interesting stuff, this. Erol Alkan, a well-known DJ and remixer, joins forces with Richard Norris (former label owner and NME writer) to make some vintage-sounding psychedelia. Unexpected to say the least, but also very, very good.

This track runs some 60’s garage-rock guitars over a rolling Balearic beat, which is topped off with vocals that wouldn’t sound out of place two sections over in the “R&B” section, right next to Ray Charles and James Brown. All the stuff that shouldn’t work together sounds so good you’re left wondering why nobody threw all this shit in the blender before.

Imperial Teen – Pig Latin
The best pop band to never sell a million albums. Imperial Teen was founded by Roddy Bottum, who formerly keyboarded with Faith No More. No one makes a better 3 minute song. Catchy as fuck, layered with attitude and never afraid to let their psychosexual tensions take the reins, Imperial Teen are what we in the musical matchmaking business call a “keeper.”

This is one of their more downtempo tracks, dealing with the whole “relationship” thing.

I don’t mind looking at you
Your hair sticks straight up well
This spray can is my favorite
Vonnegut to William Hell
I don’t want to be happy
I want to mess around
But these drugs have made me sappy
I do love feeling down…

Kraftwerk – Heavy Metal Kids
Does what it says on the tin, to the confusion of nearly everybody. Recorded live in 1971 for Radio Bremen, this audio anomaly features the icy keyboard automatons taking a noisy stab at making metal for the masses.

Using only their Teutonic attitudes and a shitload of electronics, the Werkers kraft (see what I did there?) a metal dirge worthy of Black Sabbath’s formative years. It takes about 1:30 before the groove kicks in, so stick around. The whole experience contains high levels of WTFness, so consider yourself warned. Oh, and also look out for the tempo shift around 4:30, which takes it all to another level. Headbanging for the pocket calculator set.

Yo La Tengo – Here to Fall
Yo La Tengo’s back and they brought their heartbreaking sagas, incredible songcrafting skills and some strings with them. First of all, this is no weeper. It’s actually a pretty straightforward rocker, utilizing a large amount of fuzzed-up, wah’ed-up guitar. It’s the string stabs that really bring the noise, accenting the guitar and playing off the piano’s contribution. It all sounds so amazing and yet so familiar, thanks to the strings which are just begging to be attributed to some novelty single from the late ’70s.

Don’t ask me why this all works so well. It’s just Yo La Fucking Tengo. It’s what they do.

Every time a 0 is involved with the turning year, people tend to go crazy over “the best _____ of the decade”. Lists come out about music and movies and tv shows and whatever. Well, I decided to do that. Because I’m a dork. What I ended up doing is a list of things for every year since the year 2000. I will talk about some of them and leave links to others that I think are fantastical and that I belive you (whoever you are) might enjoy. So. Here we go. Expect to see some bands that repeat, and some that you know I like, if you like me:

2000
Does anyone remember how fantastically catchy ‘Bohemian Like You’ was? The silly video with the karaoke-thing, etcetera? There was a lot of decent music coming out around this time, and I remember being consistently barraged by good albums. This wouldn’t continue through the rest of the decade. Californication would be the last time I would enjoy RHCP as a band.

Dandy Warhols (song – Bohemian Like You); Red Hot Chili Peppers (album – Californication); Smashing Pumpkins/Foo Fighters/A Perfect Circle(show – Summersault – Winnipeg Stadium); Nine Inch Nails (video – Into the Void)

2001
In 2001 I succumbed to sexy pop for a favorite song. Seriously. That song is awesome. Frusciante’s album was magical, and I think my video of the year is really the only choice.

Kylie Minogue (song – Can’t get you out of my head); John Frusciante (album – To Record only Water for Ten Days); Tragically Hip (show – Winnipeg Arena); Fatboy Slim (video – Weapon of Choice)

2002
Dave Grohl makes the list twice as a drummer in this year, and probably would have taken the album too, but from out of nowhere came what would change my mind about Canadian music in that I ended up following almost every project that Broken Social Scene had outside of it’s main band after hearing the album and seeing them live.

Queens Of The Stone Age (song – Go With the Flow); Broken Social Scene (album – You Forgot it in people); Broken Social Scene – (show – Pyramid Cabaret); Tenacious D (video – Tribute)

2003
I remember the moment I fell in love with Sit down Stand up. It was on the eve of the album coming out, and Radiohead played a live show that was broadcasted to Silver City theatres in Canada. When that song reached the crescendo into the fast ‘raindrops’ part, I was almost on the edge of my seat. Which I could also say about the Metric show. They were second on a bill of three that featured Hot Hot Heat as the main act, and were still relatively new, but downright sexy and exciting to watch. I’ve since seen them six more times.

Radiohead (song – Sit Down, Stand Up); Mars Volta (album – De-Loused in the Comatorium); Metric (show – Pyramid Cabaret); Buck 65 (video – Wicked and Weird)

2004
The second time a John Frusciante album makes my favorite albums. This album is widely regarded as his most ‘mainstream’ and is a fantastic, great-amazing thing, just like the Bowie concert, which was the last concert I ever saw at the ol’ Winnipeg arena.

Secret Machines (song – Nowhere Again); John Frusciante (album – Shadows Collide with People); David Bowie (show – Winnipeg Arena); DFA 1979 (video – Black History Month)

2005
I’ll never forget how many phone calls I got when Nine Inch Nails annouced that they’d be coming here. It was the first time I was going to see them, after being a fan since 1994. My phone rang off the hook, and for one song during that show, so did my emotions. I kinda quietly, completely lost it, and felt like a dummy. Ha! By the way, that Esthero video’s freakin’ hot, and I agree with every sentiment in it.

Sufjan Stevens (song – Come On! Feel the Illinoise!); Fantomas (album – Suspended Animation); Nine Inch Nails (show – MTS Centre) Esthero (video – We R in Need of a Musical Revolution)

2006
I saw Wintersleep by myself in front of about 30 people, and skipped work to get there. When I talked to the singer about this, he dedicated a song to me. How nice. As far as Nausea goes, I don’t know what it is about that song, but something in it drives me nuts. It’s way too good and it doesn’t even realize it.

Beck (song – Nausea); Regina Spektor (album – Begin To Hope); Wintersleep (show – The Collective); Eagles of Death Metal (video – Boy’s Bad News)

2007
National Anthem of Nowhere has become my most listened to track on last.fm, and I think the Wintersleep album has since become one of my most listened to albums. They will both continue to rise in numbers. If I did a song by song and album by album breakdown, these two would make somewhere within the top three. And it’s pretty cool that I got to see Mike Patton in any of his 34i83902439024 bands, but Peeping Tom blew me away.

Apostle of Hustle (song – National Anthem of nowhere); Wintersleep (album – Welcome to the Night Sky); Peeping Tom (show – Trocadero); Feist (video – 1234)

2008
God, In Rainbows is great. And Secret Machines live, that’s something so completely underrated, I don’t even know how to describe it to you. The power that they have to get an audience going, is a sight to behold and yet there were so few people there that I was kind of disappointed in the turnout. Oh, and yes, I realize that Feist gets the video 2 years running for the same album, but they’re both great videos.

Kaki King (song – Montreal); Radiohead (album – In Rainbows); Secret Machines (show – Pyramid); Feist (video – I feel it all)

2009
I know, it hasn’t been that long, but Them Crooked Vultures was exactly the album I wanted it to be. So there.  And as far as Spookey’s song goes, this is the second time I’ve talked about it in my blog. Previously appeared in my “songs you won’t see in Guitar Hero or Rock band“, and it’s just something to behold. Metric’s video was perfect, it was the video that I wanted them to have. Something sweet and cute instead of overtly dorky like all of their other videos. As far as Leonard Cohen’s concert goes, I hadn’t been a huge fan beforehand, but was introduced, and BECAME a large fan because of how amazing that concert was. Everything he did was perfect. The singing, the sounds, the engagement with the audience was fantastic. Top five concerts in my life, that one.

Spookey Ruben (song – Mechanical Royalty); Them Crooked Vultures (album – Them Crooked Vultures); Leonard Cohen (show – MTS Centre); Metric (video – Gimme Sympathy)

Quelques mots avant de vous laisser savourer cette vidéo du Trio avec piano n^o 2 en mi bémol majeur, D. 929 (op. 100) de Schubert, interprété par le trio Capuçon à Tautavel:

1) Franz Schubert n’a pas écrit que la Truite (poisson au demeurant délicieux)

2) Tautavel est le site où l’on a trouvé le plus ancien homme préhistorique en France (vieux de 450 000 ans)

3) Malgré l’actualité, on peut quand même estimer qu’entre l’homme de Tautavel et l’interprétation du trio Capuçon, l’humanité a progressé

Bon après, on peut aussi être moins optimiste !

De trend is al een tijdje bezig, maar popmuziek met folkinvloeden wint terug aan populariteit de laatste maanden. Denk maar aan het succes van Bon Iver, Grizzly Bear of recenter Mumford & Sons. Mijn ontdekking van deze week wordt door muziekrecensenten omschreven als het Britse antwoord op Fleet Foxes. Da’s meteen een referentie die kan tellen, hoewel TLS toch ook een zeer eigen geluid heeft.

The Leisure Society, afkomstig uit de vruchtbare muzikale bodem van Brighton (Fatboy Slim, Blood Red Shoes, The Levellers, The Kooks) wordt door Elbow frontman Guy Garvey frequent genoemd als ‘the next big thing’. ’The Sleeper’ (met bonus-cd) is de ideale cd om zowel de herfst als de winter te overleven. Alle nummers ademen melancholie, weemoed en de groep bedient zich van een uitgebreid instrumentarium gaande van dwarsfluit tot viool.

Het is een cd geworden om liefdevol te omarmen en te koesteren. Luister naar single ‘The last of the melting snow’, ‘We were wasted’, ‘The darkest place I know’ of de inventieve cover van Gary Numan’s ‘Cars’ (op de bonus-cd). Bij ‘A matter of time’ loeren Arcade Fire en Beirut mee over hun schouder. Bij elke luisterbeurt ontdek je weer nieuwe dingen. Liefhebbers kunnen de bonus-cd integraal beluisteren als ze hier eens gaan kijken/luisteren. Ja, met deze schijfjes overbrug ik makkelijk de periode tot de lente terug in het land is. Geen herfst of winterdepressie voor mij dit jaar!

Porque ontem revi o filme The Deer Hunter e lembrei-me do quanto aprecio o Christopher Walken…

Porque reavivou a lembrança desse meu gosto por homens estranhos, mas com sentido de humor e capazes de rir de si mesmos: 

So, it’s been longer than I had planned, but here it is.  I want to talk about other things, but feel I can’t without getting through this first, so here we go and keep a look out for more soon!

We shall start with my favorite of the collection:

Weapon Of Choice by Fatboy Slim featuring the ever amazingly fabulous Christopher Walken

Spike Jonez is a great fan of the Beastie Boys and was all too happy to collaborate with them on their Sabotage single video from the album “Ill Communication”

According to the Wikipedia entry,  Sabotage was “played extensively on MTV. As an homage to (and parody of) 1970s crime drama television series like Hawaii Five-0, The Streets of San Francisco,S.W.A.T., Baretta, and Starsky and Hutch, the video is presented as the opening credits of a fictional 1970s-style police show called Sabotage, with the band members appearing as the show characters. Each band member is introduced as a fictional actor, and the names of the characters are also given.”

Bjork’s “It’s Oh So Quiet” – again according to the Wikipedia entry – “remains her biggest hit…Fueled by the Spike Jonze-directed music video clip, the single also shot Björk into the spotlight in the United States, peaking at #9 on the Billboard Bubbling Under Hot Singles Chart (#109 on the Hot 100). In the United Kingdom the single has been certified as Gold, having sold upwards of 400,000 copies. [1]“

And finally we have Weezer’s “Buddy Holly.”  I am feeling a bit lazy this evening, so I’m going to stick with Wikipedia since they have served me so well for the above videos.  ”The video portrayed Weezer performing at the original Arnold’s Drive-In diner from the popular ’70s television show Happy Days. The video combined contemporary footage of the band with clips from the show. Happy Days cast member Al Molinaro made a cameo appearance in the video.”

So, as I mentioned, Spike likes to bring the element of surprise and unknown to his media.  Lots of the Sabotage footage was filmed without a license (according to a New York Times article). “Weapon of Choice” is just surprise after surprise, and “…So Quiet” is filmed in the same vein of altered dancing/flying reality.  In “Buddy Holly” Jonze has taken us back to the time (though, of course, Happy Days is a throwback in itself) to the time of Buddy Holly’s popularity playing music that is inspired by, but is so beyond, that time and place.

I’m not going to go off about the film.  I really enjoyed it; I laughed and James Gandolfini, as a muppet, made me cry. I think it was genius, but I would like to see it again and see if it holds up.  Also I can’t speak for children, but I think that film is now trying to take them seriously, and rightly so.  See this article from A.O. Scott in the New York Times.

Spike Devil Disco sent me a few tracks which are heaps of fun. I don’t know too much about these guys as I can’t read their MySpace but they’re from Mexico and they’ve got a different (but awesome) take on things.
Check their SoundCloud for more of their tunes.

In & Out Record Store

Mid-Levels,  Soho,  Central Hong Kong, Hong Kong

Ascending the Worlds Longest And Tallest Escalator, we spot a spot a window with a large poster taped to the glass, declaring, ‘We buy + sell LPs’.  Dashing down the steps at the first possible exit from the conveyer, we stumble into the shabby terraced building inwhich lies a stairwell to the shop.

On the fourth floor, we push open the door and set aside the bead curtain, and stumble across a solitary box shaped room, holding a desk and thousands of records, CDs and DVD stacked in various piles and spilling from cardboard boxes.

The small owner of the room is friendly, and has sprinkled the apartment with enough of his belongings to suggest that its not only his shop, but his home.  Incense hangs thickly in the air, and a contemporary jazz compilation blares from the speakers near the desk with the cash register.

“He probably just gets out a sleeping bag and sleeps in here” Maddi whispers to me, and I can’t help but agree.

We flick through the offerings of CDs, which consist mostly of humdrum rock releases from the likes of U2 and Muse, that leave me uninspired. However a small shelf, labelled ‘electronica’, offers a more interesting, eceltric mixture. We discover Saint Etienne’s Too Young To Die (which compiles the band’s first leg of music producing), recordings of Fatboy Slim’s Beach Boutiques from 2002 and 2003, and Aphex Twin’s double album Drukgs (which, coincenditally, is his last LP to date and an album I long for, but haven’t seen for a price I can justify).

However, it is the disaryed collection of vinyl that ticks the boxes; a big cardboard container of mixed genres priced at $15HK each (just over a £1) lies at the bottom of a dusty shelf.  One of crates seems to consist solely of US house and hip-hop, offering some old school records at a decent price. Elsewhere, stumbling across a remix EP of Underworld’s Cowgirl and Santos’ 2001 classic Camels, I decide to wake up the owner and splash out.

After-all, its not every day you can enter someone’s apartment, root through their record collection and come away with a few gems, without breaking the bank or the law.

Usually the themes for my blog posts gestate over a period of weeks or at least days, but a few days ago I was listening to a podcast that mentioned a scene from Annie Hall, and I felt compelled to watch it again. Fabulous.

Apologies: some of these clips take a while to load up. Please bear with it, they’re worth it…

And of course, Youtube offered me countless other clips of Christopher Walken. 20 minutes later, I had a list, and a tribute to a pretty unique personality.

Christopher Walken is a tremendous actor. To be fair, his filmography does include some fairly schlocky choices, but his performance as Nick in The Deer Hunter is greater than 99.9% of all actors could ever aspire to. Robert de Niro had the screen time, but he was the beating heart of the story, the town’s loss that needed to be regained, the humanity that was destroyed by war. 

To use a sporting analogy, he’s often more of ‘an impact player’, taking a supporting role but usually stealing the show: Sleepy Hollow, Catch Me If You Can, True Romance and ‘the watch scene’ from Pulp Fiction…

When he leads or carries a film, it’s his performance that is the highlight in perhaps a flawed production, such as in King of New York or The Dead Zone, where he dominates the film with his presence, and his performance often enables us to ‘forgive’ other elements that aren’t as successful.

He’s spawned numerous imitators – not least Kevin Spacey on Simon Mayo’s BBC Radio Show – thanks to his unconventional style of speech and rhythmic delivery, but what I really like about him is the ability to be utterly convincing as a vulnerable lost soul (Annie Hall, The Deer Hunter), a psychopath (King of New York) and in comedic persona.  He was even to focus of a hoax that he was going to run for President… If you’ve not seen his appearances on Saturday Night Live, you’re in for a treat here.

He also recently made a fantastic appearance on Jonathan Ross’ chat show, reading Lady Gaga song lyrics (seriously)…

And then, even allowing for his dramatic range and comedic talents, he goes yet further with this brilliant performance in the video for Fatboy Slim’s ‘Weapon of Choice’. Is there anything the man can’t do?

This is proper dancing (directed by Spike Jonze, lately of ‘Where the Wild Things Are’). Tom Cruise’s cameo comic routine in Tropic Thunder is a pale imitation. I’d wager that most of Hollywood wishes they were half as cool as Chistopher Walken: I know I do.

and here is a short live version…awesome!

We’ve come a long long way together,
Through the hard times and the good,
I have to celebrate you baby,
I have to praise you like I should..

Atter er det weekend og det sætter vi igang med nogle lækre tracks. Denne gang bliver det med nogle fra top-downloads på Beatport. Beatport har meget mærkeligt musik, men også meget rigtig godt! Siden er amerikansk produceret, men er nok mest populær i Europa, da elektronisk musik dyrkes i langt større stil her end der.

Fatboy Slim – Praise You (Fedde Le Grand Remix)
Bingo Players – Devotion
Steve Angello – Tivoli
Michel Cleis feat. Toto La Momposina – La Mezcla

Fire flotte fra BP’s top10

Este extraño artista responde al nombre de Fatboy Slim, tan extraño es que sus apariciones públicas son contadas pero sus discos se vendieron a más no poder, entre 1998 y 2004 especialmente.

WEAPON OF CHOICE causó el 2002 una revolución que continúa hasta nuestros días, primero por el concepto: un señor que derrocha su alegría al bailar en un espacio amplio y vacío como un hotel. Segundo por la fotografía tan exquisita que era acorde con la acertada dirección. Tercero: por Christopher Walken, ése actor que pensábamos era alguien serio pero …prestarse a semejante obra de arte! jaja. Alabado por la crítica y todos los medios especializados, el vídeo es una alabanza de LA IMAGINACIÓN AL PODER, veanla para que me den la razón, ganó muchísimosssss premios.

Today is one of those days that just makes me feel like sitting back and contemplating how I’m going to conquer the world – naturally, I figured I would share the music in my library that makes those feelings come to life. Music is here to evoke emotion, challenge our status quo, provoke us, persuade us, and these epic songs do all the above. I also started making links out of the titles so you don’t even have to go far to check out these.

Apartment 26: 88 – The nineties had a lot of bad music to deal with. This band never really made if far but they had a lot of really good, driving songs. If you grew up during the era of modern rock and you missed this song, I recommend you fix that now. They had a lot of other pretty good songs worth checking out. Do you research on them and don’t skip this one in particular.

Bad Religion: It’s A Long Way To The Promised Land – As soon as the song starts you just have to grin. Not a happy, I’m having a good day grin. We’re talking that half-evil I’m going to conquer the world grin. It’s one of my favorite songs by them and if you haven’t head it change that before you even leave the room.

David Cook: Bar-Ba-Sol – Out of every season of American Idol, this is the only song I have ever loved. It’s such a great off-beat rhythm and believe it or not, crazy I know, an American Idol contestant put out something noteworthy. Check it out

Everlast: Die In Yer Arms - This song still has a little hip-hop to it, but isn’t that what we all want out of Everlast after all? The groove doesn’t let up, the chorus is kicking, the lyrics are violent, and it’s get your blood pumping – and today, that’s what I’m selling

Fatboy Slim: That Old Pair Of Jeans - Hands down the greatest song he’s ever had. That’s saying a lot too because I’m a huge fan, but the lyrics are so inspirational behind such a great melody. You’ll be more than ready for world conquest after this one. I promise – I almost get teary eyed every time I hear this song it’s that good.

White Stripes realmente tem ótimos clipes, eu acho Jack White uma das figuras mais criativas do Rock atual, não é à toa que eles emplacaram 3 clipes entre os 10 melhores. Um clipe que eu gostaria de destacar é Weapon of Choice do Fatboy Slim, sensacional, o diretor Spike Jonze (ele passou por Porto Alegre em outubro, veja aqui) já tem uma filmografia de clipes e longas da mais alta qualidade, neste clipe ele prova pra Kayne West que não precisa se gastar 1 Milhão de Dólares para fazer um bom clipe, uma ideia boa e um bom ator já basta, aliás a interpretação, e dança, de Christopher Walken está demais, esse também é foda!

Rendezvous Records

216-B, Kowloon, City Plaza, Hong Kong

In the corner of a strong-smelling food hall  in a mall which adjoins the  Star Ferry terminal, is a record shop that, according to its billboard, is ‘one of the best in Hong Kong’.

Unlike the hordes of knock-off CDs sold down side-streets and at night markets, Rendezvous Records prides itself on being the real deal – a second hand record store, with all the European trappings (and prices).

We enter the squat, ill-shaped shop to the strains of the Pet Shop Boy’s latest album blaring over the pa system, and make a beeline for the boxes of old vinyl piled up at the back of the store. Here, records are seemingly plopped down anywhere by the staff, and left for nonsensical browsing (no doubt a deep frustration for plenty a Chinese anorak – that is, if they exist).

I salivate in wanton desire as  I stumble across Bob Dylan’s seminal A Rare Batch Of Little White Wonder, which offers a bunch of the artisté’s live performance captured on wax. Elsewhere we find a bootleg of The Velvet Underground’s Unreleased Tracks, a battered 8” copy of Lou Reed’s Satellite Of Love, and a box full of assorted Blondie and Morrissey 12”.

The CD selection is fine, but nothing to be overtly excited about (the prices outclass the majority of the goods), although we do find a interesting concept CD. It is a two disc compilation, with tracks from Fatboy Slim, Portishead and the likes, on one disc, and then on the other the artists whose tracks are sampled with the tracks on the first disc, such as The James Gang and Isaac Hayes. However, it sounds like a far more interesting concept in theory than in execution I fear (after-all what did Discovered teach us, other than what we already knew – that Daft Punk are inspired by funky music).

Somewhere beneath the hordes of new-wave 12”, we find an original US promo copy of Underworld’s Underneath The Radar, the band’s, critically hated, first album. And although it wasn’t cheap (HK$115 – £8.91), and I’m not even sure its going to sound very good, I wouldn’t be the Underworld fan I am if I didn’t pick it up. I pay my money to the friendly and chirpy staff, and, swinging the bag as I walk, whistle a happy little ditty all the way back to my tiny, tiny, tiny hotel room.

The video for Alice’s forthcoming single ‘Let Us Be Loving’ has finally seen the light of day. And we’re glad that it did! Directed by Brighton-based photographer and film-maker Steve Glashier (who has previously created music promos for the likes of Fatboy Slim, Juliette and the Licks and The Rakes), the video was shot entirely with a Canon 5D mkII (for those photography buffs amongst you).

You can also see Alice’s stunning cover of Gnarls Barkley’s ‘Crazy’ on Canal + TV here
