Hello everyone, it's time for another edition of Office Thursday. I know what your thinking and yes, im shocked too that its actually on time this week, but thankfully i've set some time aside to write a quick column on what i've been listening to this week at work.
Grandaddy - Now It's On
Buy the Album: Amazon
Watch the video: Youtube
It has been a long time since i've listened to the Sumday album, and for me, it's really a case of hit and miss in some aspects, but i've always ejnoyed this track, and i'm not sure why. Perhaps its due to the way the music is put together? Maybe it's the guitars? Maybe its the strange breathing/wheezing duck-esque kind of noise at the start. Whatever the reason it still manages to keep a hold on me when i listen.
(sidenote, listen to the chorus jsut as you start to go over a bridge on the tram while looking out of the window, its alot of fun)
Buy the album: Amazon
I actually heard this on the fabriclive: 28 album, mixed by Evil Nine. it's been sticking in my head now for the past few weeks, im not sure but i think im associating it with cans of coke at lunchtime (strange i know). Even now im thinking about it while eating my chilli chicken on my break.
It's a great remix, and im not sure why its good, i think its jsut the layering of it that i really like, it doesn't seem lazy like most remixes i've heard as of late. As Gareth and i have both written, music seems to be dragging it's feet at the moment. The only real highlights of this year have been few and far between and it's a shame but its been more of a year for singles rather than albums.
Radiohead - The Entire Back Catalogue, Pretty Much
"it's alright, xxx is better though"
"no its not, xxx has that song, y'know"
The return of Radiohead has been a godsend in a way, as it's given me and excuse to play alot of of thier other albums, and bring back the great memories that are associated with them. OK Computer was given to me on a recorded tape by my uncle, and it had The Bends on the otherside. I used to walk to school listening to it on my state of the art walkman with bass boost, i miss those days.
Move on a few years and were passing on mixtapes with music from Kid A, b sides that and live sets, withe on cd or emailed mp3's, we need to bring back C90's, they were more fun to record on and pass around.
That's all from me, this weekend i, and all the Robot Soap boys will be djing at a House party at Preston and then again on Saturday at a Birthday/Late halloween do, i'm aiming to dress as a legoman but time is running short for me to make my costume, fingers crossed for me.
Also, 9th of Novembar at Cord in manchester, Robot Soap returns, set it in your diary.
