Another blissed out electronic record from 2002. Hazy, lazy afternoons in the field music. Don't get me wrong this is no yuppie lounge bar tunes that in equal parts is non offensive and completely dull. Chilled but with bite. Buy Ellis Island Sound Myspace Link in Comment
One of my favourite films and my favourite soundtrack. Got me into Krautrock, Electronica and Ween, and unlike most soundtracks where the songs are tacked on, the soundtrack here is made up of songs from 'Music For You' mixtape given to Morvern for christmas by her dead boyfriend (who just killed himself on Christmas Eve). We hear the songs as she listens to them on her walkman. Turning her working days at a supermaket in to a magical carpet ride, hypnotic, memorising and one of the best films ever made. What more can i say, oh the novel by Alan Warner is quality and is dedicated to Holger Czukay (Can Bassist and producer maestro)

Consisting mostly of director Terry Zwigoff's (Who also did the dark humoured 'Bad Santa' and my favourite documentary 'Crumb'. When I 1st rent it out, the guy in the shop said what it was good fun flick, what he didn't say; you will be depressed for a week afterwards.) own 78 record collection, a mix of '20s, '30s big band, ragtime and amazing blues tracks. To be honest normally after 5 songs of most blues records i turn it off, but not this album. The slices from Skip James, Robert Wilkins and Craig Ventresco are classics. If thats not enough, Soundtrack and film opener 'Jaan Pehechaan Ho' from a Bollywood rarity sounds like a song from one of those dim a dozen Elvis Surf movies from the '60s but in the Bollywood Tradition. Here is 'Jaan Pehechaan Ho' in it's original form. Great great stuff.

This was the first Neil Young album i bought/hear. Another one of my favourite films with a haunting score by the 'Godfather of Grunge' intercut by Depp reading William Blake (with whom Depp's character shares the name) and a scene with Billy Bob Thornton, Jared Harris and Iggy Pop playing redneck cannibals with the latter in drag.
This is a Devo mix I made to try to convince my friends to start a Devo covers band. Now armed with a Casio dg 10 digital guitar and 80s voice recording yamaha keyboard and Guit-Board (Guitar keyboard) we might just get the show on the road. Check out their videos, just as head of their days as the music is. Enjoy the Mix. Tracklist 01 That's Good

One of the best eletronic albums of the last couple of years. In a similar vein to Fourtet , jazzy live drums and coated thick with blissed out textures and layers after layers that with ever listen you will discover something new each time. It's one of those albums that came out of nowhere, and is still on heavy rotation in house Pascal's a year on. With new album out this month here's hoping it can live up to his astonishing debut.

Here is another great electronic album from recent years which features guest vocals from Gruff Rhys (Super Furry Animals) and New York singer/songwriter, Nina Nastasia. Good Stuff .
01 Morning Wonder - The Earlies Hypnotic kraut psychedelic from 1/2 English 1/2 American band. Quality song of their quality debut. 02 Sleep The Clock Around - Belle And Sebastian My favourite Belle and Sebastian song. 03 Variation One (edit) - Stereolab A Friend of mine doesn't like Stereolab, but he also said he does like punk until he seen Gang of Four live. Maybe he needs to see these folk live to. 04 Ceremony - New Order I last Joy Division song. 05 Birthday - The Sugarcubes Just got the 7" yesterday of ebay. The b-side is an Icelandic, but this is the English version,. Hope the rumors of Bjork playing Electric Picnic are true. 06 19th Nervous Breakdown - The Rolling Stones The outro alone is a enough to have this song on this compilation. Such a weird sound. It goes while with the equally weird and addictive organ on the next track. 07 Grip89 - The Stranglers I was in Tesco one day, when i lived in London. In a bin there was the 'Best of the Shadows' and the 'Ultimate Punk album'. The 1st was 5er and the lather 3.45, which i went with. It had amazing songs i never hear before like 'Jonathan Richman & The Modern Lovers - Roadrunner', Ian Dury And The Blockheads - Sex & Drugs & Rock 'N' Roll, The Slits - I Heard It Through The Grapevine (which is also on this mixtape) and this gem. Oh I could listen to that keyboard all day. Great great stuff.
08 Y Control - Yeah Yeah Yeahs I made this mix over a year ago, but I'm still not sick of it and 5 of the 12 bands that are still going i seen at Electric Picnic last summer. Luck me. 09 Shot In The Arm - Wilco Seen these boys the last time they played Ireland at Witnness (or had it changed to Oxygen at that stage). Never heard anything that i knew was them and by Joe they play heavier than any of the record and full of improvised distortion freak-outs.Nice. 10 The Real Sugar - dEUS Broke my foot 3 songs into these boys the 2nd time i saw them. The next time i saw them, they were the 1st band at Electric Picnic last year. What a way to kick start a festival. 11 La Ritourette - Sebastien Tellier I picked up a sticker of the cover of this single in a record shop. On it there was a quote from Pure Groove Magazine which read "This Song will make your whole body weep and fall in love with everything again and again and again". Bought the Album when it came out. Oh the video is the single version which has the 4 minutes intro cut out, silly silly chaps.
12 Message From A Black Man - The Heptones This and "I'll Be Around" are both from Studio One : Soul. A great compilation from a great label. 13 Hammer - Bob Marley I think I'm a Sucker for strange noise in pop records, this contains that sounds like a cat in heat (but in a good way) backing track. 14 I'll Be Around - Otis Gayle I heard another song with the same music but a completely different vocals layed on top. But this vocal rocks "there's always a chance,then amber sparkles remain, and sparks can turn into flames". 15 Heard It Through The Grapevine - The Slits Dirty reggae cover of the Marvin song, Ari-Up sings 'heard it thought the bassline' as the backing singers hum low low bass track. 16 Helter Skelter (alt. version) - The Beatles This dirty blues version is taken from Anthology3, an out take from the 'White Album' session.And according to Family member Paul Watkins, "Before Helter Skelter came along, all Charlie cared about was orgies." 17 Broken Dream - Python Lee Jackson Heard this on the sound track of Lars Von Triers's classic film 'Breaking the Waves'. Didn't think Rod Stewart could be so good. 18 Runaway - Del Shannon A classic track and in my top3 pop songs with Nipple Erectors 'Gabriel' (See Pascal's Country Sounds Mixtape) and Abba's S.O.S 19 Neon Lights (Edit) - Kraftwerk 'Man Machine' was the first album i heard of Kraftwerk and for me still the best. This is one of 6 reasons why. Enjoy
This mini album is the most experimental, Beefheart' influenced record dEUS has made. The album was edited "... More or less the same way you would edit a movie". It's a one 26 minutes long track that reads like a dream, equal part, paranoiac violin nightmare and part playful 'dance around the campfire' music. The songs mingle together with the use of dialogue and eastern european soundscapes in between them and it contains one of by favourite dEUS songs; 'Void'. Enjoy. Tracklist 1. Middlewave 2. Almost White 3. Health Insurance 4. Little Ghost 5. How To Row A Cat 6. Only A Colour To Her 7. Sick Sugar 8. Sweetness 9. Horror Party Jokes 10. Void 11. Sans Titre Pour Sira 12. Glovesong 13. Lorre In The Forest
A pre-cursor to one of the best albums of 2005 'Alligator'. This 7 track contain several gems. The title track is one of their best so far, and 'About Today' was the 1st song i heard and bought 'Alligator' because of it. Buy Cherry Tree EP Download Cherry Tree EP
Not to sure about the history of this album, a friend of mine said that all the songs are covers with different lyrics. Another one tells me that they got Nashville session musicians in to make the album sound authentically country. Whatever the story is, for me it's their 2nd best album, 2nd only to the genre bending 'Chocolate and Cheese' from 1994. There is only 10 Golden Country Greats on the damn thing.

When Damon Albarn (Blur, Gorillaz) visited Mali at the request of Oxfam, he was armed with a DAT recorder and a melodica and promptly fell in love with the music he encountered there. After 40 hours of jamming sessions with local musicians including guitarist Afel Bocoum & kora player Toumani Diabate, Albarn brought his recordings back to Britain and edited and mixed the music. He then sent the tapes back to Mali for extra vocals and instrumental passages to be added. The resulting album is nothing short of breath taking.
This album is basically the tape in Jim Jarmusch's Broken Flowers that Jeffrey Wright's character Winston gives to Bill Murray. It becomes the soundtrack to the movie as he travels across country trying to find in son. For me the album sounds like the perfect soundtrack to a British 60s bank heist movie set in the desert. Great Stuff. Buy Download
He was a poet, playwright, composer, humourist, actor (He appeared in The Beatle's Magical Mystery Tour as the bus conductor Buster Bloodvessel), musician, teacher and a children's writer. His music is either silly nonsensical ramblings or works of pure genius. Answers on a postcard to 22 Abbey Road, I Got Too Much Time On My Hands, Dublin. What ever the answer, i can't get enough of him. Highly recommend.
Here's two singles/Eps from the man who seems to do no wrong. The B- sides of No More Workhouse Blues got my friend into Bonnie 'Prince' Billy. Ruby is the heaviest and darkest he has very gone, and The Kiss is heartbreakingly beautiful, defo one for the ladies.
Dir: Harmony Korine
Dir: Mike Piscitell
I Gave You is one of the best song he was ever writing and the B- sides to it are in my opinion better than most of the songs on Superwolf his collaboration with Matt Sweeney; Matt wrote the music to Will's lyrics.
Abit Honky, abit doo wop and a little punk but at heart always 'Keeping it Country'. 01. phone Ring 02. Sister Wynona Carr - Dragnet For Jesus The Gospel of the street according to Sister Wynona Carr. 03. Wilco - Airplane To Heaven Words by Woodie Gruthrie, Music by Wilco. Great Stuff. 04. Elvis Presley - Mystery Train Probably my favourite track of his and for some reason it's not in most Best of. Wonderful film Also. 05. Jerry Lee Lewis - Honky Tonk Rock N' Roll Piano Man The most roll and roll man to have sat on a piano stool. 06. Tommy Spurlin And The Southern Boys - Hang Loose "...Well my favourite pass-time Is to get myself a nickel or a dime Slip it in the jukebox-machine Grab me a kitten in tight blue jeans" Indeed! 07. Roy Montrell - (Everytime I Hear That) Mellow Saxophone You can't but dance to this track. "...Rip it, bop it, Davey Crockett". 08. Ween - Powder Blue I love it when Dean Ween introduces the band and they each in turn break into their solos, pure country! 09. The Handsome Family - The Sad Milkman I always envisage the video of this gem by Husband and Wife duo to be of a vampire milkman, seducing and killing the woman folk as he delivers his rounds in wee hours of the morning. 10. Bonnie 'Prince' Billy - I Am A Cinematographer Great countriafication of Palace song. 11. The Rolling Stones - Country Honk The two-stepping alter ego of "Honky-Tonk Women". 12. The Beatles - Don't Pass Me By Ringo's first song he wrote and he sang lead. It became a number one hit in Sweden too. Quality with a capital Q. 13. Pavement - Father To A Sister Of Thought Steven Malmus was sure that this was a surefire hit single, but it did no business. "I was smoking alot of grass when i picked the singles..."
14. Beck - Rowboat Another classic from Stereopathetic Soul Manure (A Collection of recordings from 1988 to '93). Only found out recently that Johnny Cash did a cover of it. Gees that man got around didn't he. 15. The Carter Family - I'm Thinking Tonight Of My Blue Eyes "Twould been better for us both had we never In this wide and wicked world had never met, But the pleasure we both seemed to gather I'm sure, love, I'll never forget". 16. The Slades - You Cheated Normal doo wop songs are upbeat but this slice from 58' has lyrics which are full of heartbreak. 17. Captain Beefheart - I'm Glad From his 1st and his greatest album Safe As Milk 1967. More doo wop, but more hopefully than the Slades song. 18. The Teen Queens - Eddie My Love Another classic track from 56. The Teen Queen were 14 and 16 at the time of recorded this very maturely song. Both died tragically of drug related deaths. 19. The Damned - Love Song Solid stuff for the Damned. 20. The Nipple Erectors - Gabrielle One of the Greatest pop song ever recorded from pre-Pogues singer Shane MacGowan. 21. Richard Hawley - Wading Through The Waters Of My Time The most country song he has done. Quite depressing though. 22. Woody Gruthrie - Vigilante Man I wonder if Walker Texas Ranger was write around this song. 23. Robert Wilkins - Thats No Way To Get Along Found this track on the "Ghost World Soundtrack". Well worth checking out. 24. Rev. A. W. Nix - Black Diamond Express Train To Hell Taken from "Goodbye Babylon", a 6 CD gospel collection. 5 CDs contain 135 songs from 1902-1960 and the 6th disc is comprised of 25 sermons recorded between 1926-1941 which is were this track was taken from. Always best to end a compilation with fire and brimstone i thought.
Good Luck And Enjoy. h**p://link-protector.com/434230/
The image above is from Harmony Korine's "Julien Donkey Boy". In that long shot, slow down tuned acoustic guitar and Hurdy Gurdys drones out as if it's straight from Julien's troubled head, played superbly by the almost unrecognisable Ewen Bremner. The music is Jim O'Rourke and its apart of this one track 47:34 minute ep. So good it should be illegal.
