Top 25 tracks 2011
Merry Christmas to all three of you who are interested in this list. Nothing from big names like Modeselektor, Radiohead, the Arctic Monkeys or the Strokes, sorry guys. No Blawan nor Pearson Sound. Shoutout to Sbtrkt, Danny Brown, Das Racist and everyone else who didn’t make it. This is totally subjective and I will totally change my mind next week. Tumblr isn’t letting me embed videos,...

Mos Def Innit - YouTube playlist →
A colleague of mine gave me this playlist of Mos Def tracks to listen to in this order. I don’t really know Mos Def, and I’m not a big rap fan. Hope it’s good.

"Psycho-Sonic" by The Sonics: review
The progress of humanity in the 20th century was astounding. Scientific discoveries laid the way for advances in technology which has improved the quality of life throughout the world. The power of technology was harnessed to move the focus of the arts away from painting with a brush towards novel media. Where once music was mostly bought in the form of score music, for the family to perform...

Shackleton 'Fabric 55' review
Shackleton was not featured on BBC Radio 1’s 12-hour ‘dubstep takeover’. This special will have cemented in the public eye the view that dubstep is synonymous with pubstep, otherwise known as brostep or wobble. This sub-genre consists of a wobbly, distorted mid-range blast, often with little or not bass. The simple etymology of dubstep is a portmanteau of dub, the highly influential...

'Fabriclive 48: Filthy Dukes' review
Filthy Dukes run the zeitgeisty Kill Em All night, which features both live bands and DJs. This is reflected in the composition of the mix, although they sensibly haven’t emulated Sinden in trying to edit down an entire night’s line-up into one CD. The mix of blog-friendly robot rock with dancefloor staples ‘Windowlicker’ and ‘Township funk’ thrown in works well...

Richard Yates and 'Richard Yates'
Richard Yates (the man)
Richard Yates almost rhymes with WB Yeats and John Keats. This marks him into the fold of serious literature. Without any conscious decision, reviewers may make this automatic association. His name rhymes with famous fictional serial killer Norman Bates, but when one thinks of an author, one thinks of an author. Yeats was a symbolist, but seemed to be conservative in...

Tao and Marina are authentic
Once one of my friends went out and a got a tattoo. He didn’t tell us he was going to do this, probably because he knew we would warn him against it. So when he came back to show us, he looked a bit sheepish. There was a conflict between his wanting to show us his new tattoo, with which he had strongly aligned his personal brand, and wishing to avoid the inevitable mockery. In the end he...
