Meatskull..Because Life’s Too Short For Boring Music


Bleeding Panda presents Soundtrack For Naked Runners

“Filled with french perverse 70’s LSD funk, some monstrous jazz + samba flipouts, several cult and very influental songs mixed with ridicule of The Beatles and the non-existent hippie-parody Dewey Cox himself.

This small collection went through some big changes over time. At first, I made it the most obvious way – indie experiments with japanese and NY noise bands (OOIOO, Optimo, Pullsallama etc.) but that was simply to simple, raw and it was’nt “romantic” and humorous enough. So I basically shifted entirely from that direction into sex, retro, french, jazz, kinky, ridiculous direction and tried to make a sort of a “soundtrack” that is not that tough at rhythm but more into the freedom loving atmosphere of the swinging sex organs.

Standout tracks
, and maybe tracks that make this comp a must have (for those who never heard them before) are definitely: the gorgeous and life-fulfiling, jamming Andrew Bird’s Coney Island Shuffle, Janko Nilovic’s by far the best composition Xenos Cosmos from 1972 (the last 1 minute of the song is golden and the rest of his work is mostly crap), magickal Senor Coconut’s – Rydeen, of course Serge Gainsbourg’s cult classic Bonnie and Clyde, Sohail Rana’s Soul Sitar – a perverse take on bollywood humour (Guys from Ninja Tune label had lots of fun remixing this gem) and the infinite Piggies - spitting humour from The Beatles. Also, I should mention Marsha Hunt with her nipple shaking (Oh No! Not) The Beast Day, a strangely missed groovy 70’s funk club hit.” – Bleeding Panda

The Black Dog presents Krautrock: Return To The Source

04-Krautrock-Podcast

What a combo – The Black Dog and a selection of stunning Kraut grooves. You know it’s gonns be a winner.

“It’s now so hard to imagine a time when there was no synths and a time when musicians/artists didn’t stick to the tried and tested formulas  that would become rockisms of modern music. Many of the original Krautrockers paved the way for much modern electronic music, influencing all that bands that influenced us in turn.

We’ve gone for a pretty wide mix of artists and included people like Stockhausen and Nono because they are pretty much the godfathers of everything electronic. We hope you enjoy it.” – The Black Dog

Shlomo presents Shlo-Fi EP (Free Download)

shlofiavailablenow

Meatskull highly recommended! Free ep from Shlomo..

“From across the misty hills of San Francisco, we welcome kid Shlohmo with his long-awaited Shlo-Fi EP for release at Error Broadcast. His instant-classic Shlomoshun EP made faces fall earlier this year but this one will boost the cat to a whole new level.

19-years old Shlohmo delivers the soundtrack for the LA aftershow party. His tracks swarm from dirty textures, strange sounds and obscured samples. It’s not Hip Hop what you hear, but the echoes are clearly there: under the blanket the beats are alive and kicking, the compression is awful (as we love it) and from the way Shlohmo arranges his tracks, it is clear what this kid listens to at night.

Solanaceous and surreal music from the point Burial and Fly Lo let off.”

An Aquarian Drunkard presents L.A. Burnout :: A Compilation

robertsmphotography_jimmy-stone-topanga

Toke-tastic set of Canyon rock via the ever popular Aquarian Drunkard

“The genesis of this post goes back to the end of 2006 via a longtime AD reader. If you’ve been around a minute you may remember L.A. Burnout from January of 2007.  As I mentioned a couple of years ago, these are the tunes I was spinning while reading both Laurel Canyon: The Inside Story of Rock-and-Roll’s Legendary Neighborhood and Hotel California: The True-Life Adventures of CSN, etc.

L.A. Burnout is made up of the sounds floating around Los Angeles in the late ’60s and ’70s; a faded aural imprint of the canyons, beaches, wildfires, neighborhoods, late-nights and early mornings of a bygone L.A.” – AQD

AA_33

I just had a listen back to this week’s ‘Angle and I know you’ll enjoy it whatever the occasion. Ok, I wouldn’t throw it on at  a party or high energy gathering, but if unloading a bowl or hanging with your lady/man/ladyman is on the cards, then look no further, dear listener. From neo-classical piano to sub heavy dub and beyond, Vol 33 is a winner all the way.
