So many tunes to play, a few tales to tell but right now the consideration is getting back to match fitness and catching up on the massive Stinky Grooves/Stinky Jim/Round Trip Mars backlog so just a quick ed’s oop and we’ll get to some postings of the recent Englandular fever soonest.
These two oustanding Orstraylians The Canyons are playing at Cassette #9 this Saturday as part of a Modular melange type shindig and I’m predicting it’s going to be well worthy of a poke around. Now signed to DFA (with a first 12″ which I kept meaning to buy in UK records shops, then deciding I could get it here soon just as easy or download for cash from some suitably smart file purveyor.. so bought something that didn’t apply to.. instead) it was their remixes of the indescribably excellent Perth outfit Tame Impala which really blew my circuits and had me paying attention like a freshly beaten school-lad. That delightful discovery was led to, by a standout video for ‘Half Glass Full Of Wine’ which I much later discovered was may by the very special pals that are Special Problems, small world and maybe I didn’t check out their website regularly enough – as they pointed out.
The EP this is from is just genius, it has everything I love about worthwhile remixes that take material to another place altogether while maintaining full respect. Anyone who’s produced the three tracks they have on this gets my tick, thumbprint and moody presence on the edge of the dancefloor for sure. If their ‘Blue Snakes’ cut for Comso Vitelli’s latest I’m A Cliche comp and ‘Big City Lights’ on Milky Disco 2, alongside their deviant discoid 12″ on their own Hole In The Sky label are anything to go on, the Cassette is a safe bet on Saturday night.
As it goes Tame Impala are ridonkulously groovy in themselves and I recommend all of their gear unreservedly, they’ve been recording albloom business in some shack down south from Perth apparently…… my breath is suitably baited.
Guff awaits your gaze below and as ever.. this is the ONLY time I ever reduce the sound quality of files to 192kbps because the idea is to point your paying finger at the links and score the whole kit and caboodle at a much more lascivious and frankly necessary bitrate whilest doing your bit for supporting quality artists and shops in the process….purlease.
Buy the hi-qualitative DL from the totally terrific Turntable Lab, vinyl – i no so sure, keep ’em peeled
them Canyons geezer stocking up before they come to NZ
Tame Impala..sound like they look, kinda..but better
