ice day

ok time for a chill post.. i know its thurs and i should be listening to bangerzz (and in the last 30 mins and after 3 beers i have been) but today def feels like a chill day.. (or maybe that spiel was merely segue into my posting some wicked chilled beats ive been listening to recently..)

i got my hands on the new goldfrapp album, 'seventh tree' earlier this week and have been blasting.. or quietly playing it ever since. it seriously is amazing..
its not as sassy or upbeat as the other goldfrapp music that ive heard in the past but it sure is good.
the album as a whole is still quite playful (as is the goldfrapp way) but has a large amount of majestic-ness added to it, thanks mostly to the classy strings and ambience that they have added.
classy is actually the best word to describe this new album.. either that or some word like relaxing that conveys more..
chilltastic? relaxabulous? chillaxastion? (my status on facebook and msn was 'steve has been falling asleep in the besst possible way" for the whole week..)

Goldfrapp - Clowns

Goldfrapp - Little Bird

to accompany these chilled beats are more chilled beats.. i know it seems very obvious that listening to chilled music all day makes you relaxed but jeeezz.. feeling pretty relaxed at the mo'.. would rather be chilled like this then all pent up like iam after a day of bangers.

The Tings Tings - Shut Up and Let Me Go (Classixx Remixx) thanks to palms out

Sam Sparro - Sally (Soul Warriors Remix

Alan Braxe - Penthouse Serenade

plus- a late addition

Rubies - I Feel Electric (feat Feist) (Tie Dye Version)

AMAZING- one of the best chilled songs ive heard for ages- totally debilitating.

and, as a bonusbonusbonus here is a track that has been on high rotation for me ever since i heard it for the first time on the cut copy fabriclive.. for some reason the simplicity in the relationship between guitar and bass really gets me off... ooo yeaa..
even if you dont like the whole track- its worth listening to for the when the bass first kicks

The Faint - Your Retro Career Melted (Ursula 1000 Remix)

sleep time

The Videodrome mk V

ok super rushed post for today.. for once im busy at work.. apologies- hopefully ill be able to snake a bit of time to make a better post sooooonnn.

FIRSTLY- super excited about the new presets album- ive started to have smashed song recollections from various festivals as ive started to hear more and more songs off Apolcalypso- hilarious.
its true that you can listen to the entire album on the presets myspace page but you should really truck on over to hyperbole site to catch some awesome preset mp3ness.. so impressed with everything ive heard..

..and seen apparently- the clip for 'this boys in love' is amazement. check check



as a sidenote, last week i went down to semi-permanent which was awesome.. as lame as it sounds i actually do feel inspired/enlightened.. also a bit sick but im not sure that semipermanent had anything to do with that.. it was funny watching a smashed anthony lister literally waving goodbye to the audience as he held up a voice recorder playing roger ramjet to his mic.. whilst not the most interesting speech, the directors bureaus work was really interesting.. i was hoping to post up a really confronting clip by an unknown artist of people crying but cant seem to find it so here are two others that are really nice- if your into designy stuff/cinematography/music/videos/life/death.


Blonde Redheads - 23


Feist - I Feel It All
*apparently theres a part in this where Feist gets hit in the eye with fireworks and starts running around- keep eyes peeled*

for everyone into a bit of French house (which is everyone in the world), Waves at Night has just run an awesome interview with Fred Falke and posted some mad remixes that i hadn't ever heard before.. always nice when that happens.. go and check these beats out cos they are off the heezy yo..
