Chris Cunningham's 'audio visual remix' of Gil Scott Heron

Chris Cunningham has made an 'audio visual remix' of Gil Scott Heron's song 'New York is Killing Me' which he has just premiered at the Museum of Modern Art in New York

 "As Cunningham explained, he has been recording train sounds from outside his U.K. apartment for ten years, and for this piece he replaced 90% of the Scott-Heron’s musical track with these train sounds and environmental recordings, pitch-shifting and harmonizing them to create a “musique concrete” version of the original composition"

Here is an article to tell you all about it. It's good to hear that Chris is using his considerable talents to bring us music as well as video nowadays, look forward to hearing more . . .

Here's a one screen version of what he premiered (the original had three), it's awesome. At the time of writing, it's taking ages to play so you might want to give it a while to load if you can't be arsed with the stuttering . . .

Rip Snortin' Garage Rock and Fuckin' Roll

Watching Dr Feelgood videos has put me in the mood for some proper rock and roll. There has definitely been a lack of balls out rockin tunes on this blog so far, so I’ve compiled thirty tracks of stompin’and snarlin’garage rock savagery for listening to very loud and kicking over tables. Enjoy.

More punk than punk

It's a Dr Feelgood day today apparently, so here's my Dr F Youtube mixtape for you. What a feckin band by the way, more punk than punk and kicking out the amphetamine-fuelled jams well before any London fashionista poof ever put a safety pin through his nose. Certainly the best thing to come out of Canvey Island since liquified natural gas.

London Nightclub flyers 1967

Dave's Harlem map put me in the mind of these scanned flyers I got from somewhere

These clubs all look brilliant to me. I wonder what amazing clubs Glasgow had back in the day. My Dad has let me see some photos from inside 'saints and sinners' (now king tuts) and 'the cardinal folly' (which was then the temple, shack, steaming pile of ash . . .fuck knows what it is now), and my grandparents went for dances in the Barras when it was host to the best big bands in the world and didn't have a bar . . .I'm sure there would have been amazing jazz places before that . . .

The reefer man is a gas

Mux Mool - Wax Rose Saturday (Remux Edit)

Oddly compelling tune.

Jesu: Pale Sketches Demixed

Electronica re-workings of Jesu tracks by the napalm death guitarist Justin K. Broadrick. Yet more brilliant stuff from good old ghostly international.

Sly Stone talks about his life and music in a rare interview . . .

What the Future Sounded Like Documentary

This is a great wee half hour documentary about the birth of electronic music and the eccentric visionary maverick types that got the ball rolling. Pretty interesting, I thought it was cool that the first ever privately owned 'home' (well, he kept it in his shed) computer in the world was just for making music on.

RAVE IT UP 2010

Let's take it back to 1988 via 2010 style>>>

In Glasgow as much as the rest of the UK there have been some £10 pound hing's goin about ;) that have undoubtably made it feel like we were all just starting going out again, you all know the one where we'd all be out allllll weekend & even into the start of the next week :)

this here track for me has undoubtedly been tearing the roof off everywhere its been dropped & has a feeling of what it would have been like back in the day hearing this stuff. IT JUST GOES OFF!!!

this is an exclusive 10" vinyl distributed by that world famous record store Rub A Dub so PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT SHARE THIS!!!! AND DONT LINK IT EITHER!!!!!!

It's for ma people to enjoy! :)
