@Nigredo - Dead Cities is a blast from the past for me - 'We have Explosive' is such a classic, and the Mantronix remix is always guaranteed to make me want to recreate my days as an floppy hat & Adidas shell-toe wearing b-boy...
Oh happy days...('cept for the bruises caused by my sloppy technique)
I love the way even the guitar samples on Dead Cities are second-hand. Was it "We Have Explosive" where they sampled Run DMC, who had in turn sampled it from someone else?
The Mantronix Remix is a classic b-boy anthem, along with the likes of The Incredible Bongo Band's Apache..(which is omnipresent in Hip-Hop music, I could easily do an 8-tracks of tunes that use the drum break from Apache.).
And according to the Wiki, the guitars and vocal shout were sampled from Run DMC. No idea where they originated however..
ETA - I had a tape of one of the FSOL ISDN shows - playing 'live' over ISDN from their studio. It's funny now how we've come almost full circle - they were playing to a live audience from the comfort of home, the other evening I sat in the comfort of my home and listened/watched Älymystö play live in Tallinn..
I've been getting into a lot of deadMau5 lately, but it got repetitive really quick. I regressed to Wax Tailor and Dj Shadow. These are the sounds of my life.
Bill Haley - [all and any] Edward Sharp & The Magnetic Zeros - Home [and most anything else I can my digits on that's as whistlin'] Lawrence Arabia - his myspace Dimbleby & Capper - her myspace RxRy - RXRY 2010
FALL SILENT-life: beautiful but heartless 7" (90s desert grind w black guitar leads) REALICIDE/CAPITAL HEMORRHAGE-split (digital hardcore) THREATENER-...and the bending of the throats 7" (inhuman blown out fastcore explosion) DESPISE YOU/SUPPRESION split 7" (socal gangsta violence/noise monster split)
i wasnt in a very good mood. by the time i got to the THREATENER record, pills had kicked in and my ears were brutalized. smiles.
Lately I've been digging Black Milk's 'Tronic', J-Dilla's 'Donuts' and Raekwon's 'Only Built for Cuban Links'
Also, I was diggin' thru my crates the other night and stumbled across 'Industry Shakedown' by Bumpy Knuckles (aka Freddie Foxxx)..which I am now in the process of converting to MP3s...With production credits from the likes of Freddie Foxxx himself, DJ Premier & Pete Rock, the album rips into the hip-hop game, charts some of the struggles MC's go through when/if they get signed to a major label, and lays bare the fuckery that goes on in the hip-hop industry - this album brings home to me what hip-hop can be like when done correctly - no R 'n B (rap 'n bullshit) - just straight-up dope lyrics and tight production, with a real message at its core.
I've been pretty much archive binging this website. Bunch of mp3's of old hardcore bands, including a show by Minor Threat with an unreleased song and some other cool shit. Also been playing Jay Reatard albums 'cause it turns out he died today.
The Flaming Lips - Embryonic [so much better sounding on vinyl! can't stop listening] Paul McCartney - McCartney Grateful Dead - Anthem of The Sun George Harrison - Wonderwall Music [like seven times in a row]
