OK, the new blog is over here -

Mad Tangent

Same same but different.

Come aboard!

Well fellow Meatlovers, I’ve decided to end the years of posting, hosting and coasting along the musical highway on the Meatskull freeway. I haven’t felt compelled to keep things progressing in 2012, and despite the fact that around 350 people are still visiting each day, it’s not as fulfilling for me as it once was. By not staying on top of the blog, I feel it has run it’s natural course.

Having said that, I do intend to create a new space online that will incorporate certain elements of Meatskull but will be broader in scope and content. I will be posting a link up here as soon as that gets off the ground.

The MAN may have fucked up a lot of the fun and many, many links within the site but there’s always a way around these curbing attitudes and actions via new means of distributing the joy of sound.

To every single one of you who contributed, commented and encouraged this blog – I salute you.

Adios amigos, I hope you had fun.

Ol’ Meaty

Saw this and couldn’t resist!

Grab your electric snorkel and dive into this ocean of sound precipitated by Afrika Pseudobruitismus.

“Afrika Pseudobruitismus is a nebula associated with young stars, which is located in the disk of a spiral galaxy near Melilla – just at the point where Tokyo and Los Angeles meet. Afrika Psudobruitismus, also known as Pseudobrutismus Africamus, shines as a result of the transformation suffered by the intense ultraviolet radiation that comes from the stars that are close to him. Afrika Pseudobrutismus has an intense magnetic field that induces the emission of electromagnetic radiation pulses and 4-track afrikan electronik space trash sounds at regular intervals. The dawn, dreams, alchemy, surf, the tropik, Vicks VapoRub, Riemann’s spheres, nebulae, amateur porn, you and me.” – via Zumo en la Nevera

The second installment in the ANTIMIX series is finally available to download, complete with the usual hastily put together artwork and tracklisting.” – via Antisocial

One for all Kemo Sabhay’s, Sitting Chiefs and High Plains Drifters.

I am totally lovin’ whenever these tunes come up on the old ipod shuffle or in their entirety as a background soundtrack to improve any bad day and turn it into gold plated joy.

“After the unexpected success and positive feedback from our first release, “Brooklyn’s Finest” (released 6/1/10), we’re back with our sophomore effort, “THE FINER THINGS” (volumes 1 & 2). Sonically we’re taking you on a completely different journey, however, the distinctive vibe of The Stuyvesants is still very present in the music! We truly appreciate all of the support for our movement thus far, and hope that you will enjoy this soundscape. Download and/or listen to the two albums below.” – The Stuyvesants

The Stuyvesants with The Embassy Ensemble at Joe’s Pub from MVMT on Vimeo.

As far as genre mixes go, this creation by Psychemagik is PERFECTION. Spiritual, jazzy, bumpin’ funky folk alongside blissed out stratospheric grooves. I only recognized one or two tunes, which is always a treat when listening to a mix consisting of older music. These cats dig DEEP. This mix will come in handy for a number of reasons and occasions, so don’t miss out.

Here’s a stab at the tracklisting from the heads at DJ History forum (well done btw)
