Brennan Green Xlr8 Podcast
http://www.xlr8r.com/podcast/2009/08/brennan-green-prepare-xlr8
Here’s a mix for all the people who loved Appleblim’s Ronsefmmix last year, its sorta like
that but much much much better (it doesn’t stop and turn into dubstep half way).  Also it
will make you like songs by people you hate.  Ask Bob about his Brusce Springsteen shame!

Arturo Gatti RIP

Arturo Gatti, 37, was found dead early on Saturday morning in an apartment that the couple had rented at the Porto de Galinhas beach resort, near Recife in northern Brazil. A police spokeswoman said it appeared that Gatti had been strangled with the strap of a handbag and had sustained a head injury. The bloodstained strap was found in the apartment.
Gatti, known as “Thunder”, was one of the most exciting fighters of his generation. Born in Italy, he was a naturalised Canadian and grew up in Montreal. He started his …

My Classics – Sucking Chest Wound – God, Family, Country

My Classics – Sucking Chest Wound – God, Family, Country
This is more of an lp than a single song, and even then its more of a cassette than an lp, well a copied cassette….  I did eventually buy it tho, from Berlin 15yrs later.  A personal record for me in music hunting!
At my first proper job waaay back in 1994 I was a 20yr old store boy type who obviously dressed a lil alty.  During this time a very neatly dressed sales guy asked if I was a bit of …

My Classics: Jeffrey Lewis

Springtime – Jeffrey Lewis
[Audio clip: view full post to listen]
The first time I heard Jeffrey Lewis at Bob’s house, he was playing `the last time I took acid I went insane’ with some bompty house under it, yes! Bob was mixing!!
I loved the song and months later, both Bob and I are slow movers, I managed to get the cd to take on home for a listen.
It has been a firm favorite since! Actually the lp has likely snuck into a top 5 lps ever list for me.  Its hard …

Cricket Season Wrap

The Cricket season has concluded, my second year back.
This season I was able to convince the captain of my ability, not only with the ball but also with the bat. In accordance with this increased role I was able to grab myself a new bat (http://www.stink-finger.com/cricket-the-gentlemans-game/).
This worked out a bit better than I had envisioned!!
After a pretty good go of it all season, with a couple of 40′s and a 63, I was dreading the end of the season which came all to fast. To my horror I was (poorly) …

My Classics: Tyrone Davis

Tyrone Davis – “Can I Change My Mind?”
I got this on a Tyrone Davis box set years back during my free music days. It was the first song off the rank and has been pretty close to my heart ever since.
Tis a beaut lil funk-soul number but it’s the lyrics that get to me every time.  It’s not your average “I love you baby” or even a bluesy “My baby left me” nor even a modern RNB “I fuk heaps of chicks!” lyric. It’s a “man leaves …
