the week in media
i thought, fuck it, i've got enough links to do a rockpapershotgun.com-style sunday papers read once a week. it'll save all those hideous link-tweets and actually get me commenting on stuff i'm reading.
excellent article on how impossible touring is if you're a jobbing band, especially when you're 10 years down the road and you've got a life.
i was investigating midi-chlorians out of star wars, in an effort to understand quite what lucas was thinking, and see how quickly they were dropped (they're only mentioned in one official source, you know). i came across something much more fascinating: midichloria mitochondrii, a bacteria that infects mitochondria in ovaries of a species of tick. so you've got a parasite of a organelle of a cell of an organ in a parasite of mammals. is that not completely brilliant?
florence is always brilliant, but i particularly loved this weeks article on how to host a board games night. sample quote:
the kermode uncut blog is always great - kermode responding to comments, setting homeworks, and being even more of a personality than his review show allows. he's recently started doing 'instant reactions': his thoughts outside the cinema immediately before and after seeing a film. here's his reaction to aronovsky's next film, the black swan. based on this, i cannot wait for this film, despite only having missed everything by aronovsky except pi (which, despite it's bollocks maths, i loved). dr k's reaction "i don't know whether it's good or bad, but it's certainly interesting" is so... me. gillen once said of his own work "i don't know whether it's good, but i know that is clever" which was a bit self-indulgent, but let me tell you this: i'd rather be 'interesting' than 'good'. but, oh, to be both...
the news in me:
continuing my self-indulgent cultural theft of history, i'm re-releasing my 'cloaca' ep from 2003:

You visit each of your friends’ homes in succession. And you kill them all, in a board game style.
Friend 1: you roll dice down his throat until his stomach ruptures.
Friend 2: You hack him up and bury his parts in two shallow graves, one marked “Draw Grave” and one marked “Discard Pile.”
Friend 3: You strip him, cover him in wool and take him to an abattoir. You find the conveyor belt carrying lambs to the slaughter and swap him in for one of the animals. You watch as he is killed and hung, having successfully traded him for sheep.
Friend 4: You throw him into an incredibly elaborate and enormous Dice Tower you’ve built, letting his body tumble to the bottom, his bones smashing in a satisfyingly random manner.

7 - heartwyrm
it's mixtape 7!*
download heartworm.mp3
or stream it here:
nb, both the kilimanjiro darkjazz and the mothboy track come from the same ad noiseam compilation (also, they came out in mono, like all the genghis tron remixes, because *audacity doesn't understand joint-stereo mp3s*. neither do i, but then i'm not a computer program whose sole role in life is to facilitate digital audio).
i love it when different bands use thet same track name - i might start making that a 'feature' of these mixes. i'm not going to go down the '12 songs called love' route though, because i don't want any constraints on what i'm putting down in these.
sparks and mclusky are endlessly entertaining, i'll try not to throw too many of them into these mixes. they could be in danger of becoming default punctuation marks.
i previously mentioned adrift a few posts ago, thought i'd include it here because i'd managed to listen to it enough to calm my outrage at it's amazingness.
*6 is a magic number and not available for use of mixtaping, due to being the title of the second-best album of the 90s.

mixtape 5: insight to violence
blimey, i've not blogged my great new mixtape. it's my favourite one so far too - here's the mp3 for hoarders, and here's the stream, courtesy of mixcloud.com
i actually regret putting jabberwocky on there, other than that, i love it to bits. something for everyone on this one. btw, i neologenesised the word 'epiclectic' to describe this mix, and the neologenesised the word 'neologenesis' to describe the creation of a neologism. which i'm also happy about.

mixtape 4:K
here's mixtape 4, entitled simply 'K'
not as in kula shakur, but as in justin k. broadrick, who features on this mix twice, and death cube k, who also sticks his beak in. justin started out in napalm death, has played in all sorts of bands, including scorn and godflesh, and will be working with alan moore in some way soon. i didn't end up putting any scorn tracks on, because they didn't fit in the mix, and that's more important than sticking to a theme regardless of the flow. but it's pretty much built around the two broadrick tracks, colony collapse and pulp. there's a definite theme there. pulp is a peel session track which came up on random on the tube, it's brutally forthright even though it seems to say not very much.
this mix isn't for everyone. it's pretty brutal, and slow. it's a weird one. it's music that's like music that people have told me is a bit how you feel on the drug K - a sort-of-coincidence. it features with a pallette cleansing gorky's radio 1 session track. enjoy, if you can.

mixtape 3 - tweezers
it's finally here - mixtape 3.
this is a bit diversionary - a mix of 95% tweecore. i really enjoyed listening back to this one, i hope it tickles you fancy.
a couple of notes on it - originally, it was longer, and went a bit mad and spacey at the end. a bit ambient. it had direction, actually direction into the next mix. and also originally, it was almost legally free downloads. i only realised that retrospectively, then tried to cut it so it *was* only free downloads, then i realised that hurt the music and wasn't what i was doing it for. then i thought it dragged on into ambient misery too much so i chucked all those songs out and threw in some more tweeness, and here you go.
it also includes a as-it-stands demo i've done, currently just called 'tapping', because that's what i was doing when i wrote it. i was thinking about rearranging it as a chiptune track, but why bov? i wrote it on guitar and transcribed into fruity loops, because that's actually easier than trying to record me playing it.
tracklisting is in the mp3 comments tag as always. lemme know if you can't find it and i'll post it here.
sorry. blathering. tired and scared.

mixtape 2: imposium
so, here's mix 2, then. tracklist, as ever, in the mp3 comments tag.
I feel now, since i'm repeating a few artists from mix 1 (scott hull, kow otani, RHF) that i should talk about that, and talk about the artists i've chosen.
basically these mix tapes are 'what i'm listening to at the moment' so don't be surprised/alarmed if the same old names keep cropping up - especially the genghis tron remixes. there's just too many good ones. I've been buying a fair stack of cds recently - sometimes listening through, picking out the best tracks and sticking them on mixes for my own benefit is the best way for me to sort my head out. each mix has one or two 'seed' tracks that i really really love, and other tracks from newer and older records occur to me as i hear them. my one rule though is to always listen to an album through before ripping it. sometimes this is quite hard to stick to - the landlady, reasonably, doesn't appreciate the heavier stuff blaring out while she's trying to unwind - so i might rip a record to listen to on the walkthing.
so you should see that this carries on fairly well from mix 1; starts ambiently soundtracky, couple of lofi songs in there, two radically different bach pieces, goes a bit electronic towards the end. next time will be different, but i won't bother that with you now. please try to enjoy this for the next two weeks, and let me know if i'm overloading you...

mixtape 0 - for eva
awright!
as a special mid-fortnight mayday bonus, here's a mix i did for an old friend recently that kicked off my manic mixing. ironically it's unmixed, just sequential, but with the state of my hardware that's all you getting this week. as last time, the tracklisting is contained in the comments field of the mp3 info.
it's definitely number 0 because 1 and 2 mix very nicely into each other, while this one could fir just about anywhere in the sequence. it has more twee elements, explored further in mix 3, but also a few older songs, since i haven't made a mix for eva for ages.
you'll start to notice i've a few repeated artists i keep using, and hopefully also that every mix is going to start with a different remix of the 'please help the disabled' guy. i hope this will become 'my thing' or perhaps even a 'theme'. i'm going to try and put some exclusive grilly track or remix on each of these too (absent here), but we'll see how far i get with that idee.
enjoy it there.

mixtape 1: bonktronica
hello,
i hope you enjoy this mix i made. i'm going to leave it up as long as possible but then take it down to make room for others. there'll be a new one up every other sunday, so grab it like it's hot.
the tracklisting is in the mp3 comments field.
so it's quite a strange one to start off with, largely instrumental and laid back, maybe not what you were expecting. there's two reasons: most of the music i'm listening to atm is instrumental and laid back because i'm working like a sucker; and secondly, i'm planning on this series being a journey as much as an album or a song is a journey. rather than churning out mix after mix with a carefully balanced sequence of grind, spazz, glitch, ambient, folk, chip-core &c, i want there to be a progression from this oh-so-high brow mix to more... well, not low-brow, but differently highbrow.
why start doing fortnightly mixes? because i miss doing mixes, the xlr webcast gave me a bug, and in the last few weeks i've found myself buying large amounts of cds and doing mixes just for fun. come across a track i like, find other songs that fit around it, find songs that fit around them, until i run out of steam. it's a little joy, and a good way to unwind. so i hope you enjoy them, and i hope i keep making them interesting.
