It’s all rather confusing really

Bob Daktari — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 22:22:37 +0000

There always comes a time with a band or musican where you part ways, havng had fun their direction and your preferences stop overlapping and its time to move on.

Sometimes you fight this urge in the often vein hope they’re redemm themselves by dropping something that tunes you back into that happy place and sometimes they do… this is one of the elements of fandom I guess.

here’s a track that whilst I like it a lot and has brought an act I was pretty much bored with back into my listening horizons – I’m a sucker for the ravey keyboard stabs – I’m not sure how long we’ll be hanging together as the song hasn’t the legs to give it a long listening lifespan for me and well I’d rather it not.

Then again with a new album on the horizon I may just be lured back into the world of these crazy Saffas. That wouldn’t be a bad thing… for now its been mys gon for this week and several smiles upon my face its brung.

It’s all rather confusing really

riffing on a theme

Bob Daktari — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 06:57:13 +0000

I’m a sucker for a link and as such often when playing music on youtube I’ll check the related videos and load one up to see where it and it’s respective links lead me to. more often than not a voyage of interesting listening awaits… sometimes if unlucky you get trapped on a page where all the related videos pont to the same artist, this is the point I stop if boredom or whatever hasn’t struck first.

Tonight I got am are currently happily enscounced in a particluar song theme and the music geek inside is very happy indeed… and in keeping with my resolution to post some more I give you riffing on a theme; The Wayfaring Stranger

“The Wayfaring Stranger” (aka “Poor Wayfaring Stranger” or “I Am a Poor Wayfaring Stranger”), Roud 3339, is a well-known American spiritual/folk song likely originating in the early 19th century[1] about a plaintive soul on the journey through life. It became one of Burl Ives’s signature songs, included on his 1944 album The Wayfaring Stranger. Ives used it as the title of his early 1940s CBS radio show and his 1948 autobiography. He became known as “The Wayfaring Stranger.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wayfaring_Stranger_(song)

To start at the beginning is to start in our present

but wait theres more with now added beats

um, yeah, sorry

thank god for Johnny

and the ladies

and the most excellent Bill Monroe

and Dolly rocks it too

and finally Neka Case to round things off and bring us back to the present

One hell of a song…

Nabbs, Talabot & Hivern Discs

Mick — Sun, 28 Aug 2011 07:04:55 +0000

Shout out to our buddy Justin Nabbs who recently posted up this mix on his Soundcloud – There’s lots of good stuff in here, including 40 Thieves Ft Qzen ‘Don’t Turn it Off’, Lucky Paul ‘Thought We Were Alone (Money vs Gold Remix)’, Simon Baker ‘Plastik’ & the very excellent John Talabot ‘Leave Me’, whch was recently included on the Permanent Vacation mix ‘If This Is House I Want My Money Back’. Listen/Download Justin’s mix here
Aug mix by JustinNabbs

John Talabot’s interview linked below is worth reading – he talks about his upcoming long player which will be dark and instrument based – sounds like an interesting listen; he also talks about Hivern Discs (which he lends a helping hand with) releasing some Kassem Mosse among other things soon:

Hivern Discs has been a very reliable label for releases so far; releases have included Talabot’s stunning Sunshine and while it was never officially released, the Pional remix of Frank Ocean ‘Lovecrimes’.

Beats in Space on form

Mick — Thu, 18 Aug 2011 20:43:47 +0000

Tim Sweeney’s BiS has been on form lately with heaps of decent mixes from the likes of Shit Robot, Horse Meat Disco, Tiger and Woods, Joakim this weeks show was James Murphy and it’s grand! Next week, Four Tet.
I know there’s a lot of dislike towards the interviews Sweeney does or his voice but I really enjoy listening to them when I’m walking. It’s super cool hearing these interviews when I’m interested in the producer and what they’re up to at the moment.

The Saturday Slowburner: Mark E – The Day

The Ninja — Sat, 02 Jul 2011 06:02:29 +0000

I seem to have a bit of a soft spot for most things Mark E puts his name to and find his work particularly well suited to lazy afternoons. Something I take extremely seriously.

This new slow-burner off his new LP “Stonebreaker” on Spectral Sound definitely fits that bill.
