social networking.

Right, I'm a lazy bastard and haven't been on the official FLFD Myspace for aaaaages. Now that's gonna change - add me if you haven't, I'll be on for at least ten minutes every day now on that specific profile for some chat. Do people still chat on Myspace? We should. Let's be buddies.

oh gosh.


A great find this morning in the form of Ceylan Ertem, who I knew pretty much nothing about until this morning. Well, now I know that she's based in Turkey, has collaborated with Friendly Fires, is adorable (I point you towards her Flickr feed), and makes gorgeous music like this:

Ceylan Ertem - Gonul Dagi

This comes highly recommended. Props to Punkreas.org for pointing me towards this.

the damage is done, so bite your tongue

Remember back when M.O.P. said (yelled, actually) "HOW ABOUT SOME HARDCORE?!" Well, here's some hardcore from a Detroit band called Sister Cities. It's a free demo, so go wild. Oh, and it's good.

"i can't understand what this motherfucker is saying but I LOVE IT!"

I figure everyone knows about it, but without having too much time to blog recently (damn you uni!), I have to pull a late pass on these new Thom Yorke songs that everyone's heard already. Still, they're good. And it gives me an excuse to tell you that aren't in the loop that Flea (yes, that Flea) has formed a new group with Mr Yorke and Nigel Godrich. Yup, that's true. Click here to read the announcement on Dead Air Space.

Thom Yorke - The Hollow Earth

Thom Yorke - Feeling Pulled Apart By Horses

Thom Yorke's in some other band that I can't remember the name of. I'll let you know if it comes to mind.

29/09/09

Apparantly it's the top dog Gilles Peterson's birthday. Happy birthday, you!

Listen to his show on Radio 1 Wednesdays 2am-4am.

an abundance of posts? sorry about that

Right, first and foremost - if you tuned in to last night's return of FLFD, THANK YOU for doing so. It was fun even if it was a bit patchy - don't fret though! I'll be picking it up over the semester - keep an eye out for my other show, At the Pictures, on Tuesday afternoons from 3-5. It'll be good times. Check out the shows on the Listen Again option (up soon, I've been promised!) as well as some other cool shows on Air3's website.

Anyways, I just have to big-up an artist I couldn't quite squeeze in on yesterday's show. They're called PPP (standing for Platinum Pied Pipers), a hip-hop/soul/electronica outfit spearheaded by two forward-looking fellas by the name of Waajeed and Saadiq. They sound familiar to all that next-level Detroit stuff... think SA-RA, J Dilla, Jneiro Jarel, the usual bunch...

They've got an album they dropped this year called Abundance, and it's properly cracking. I get paid tomorrow, so it's time for me to order my copy already, but you guys should definitely check out the free mixtapes they have up on their Myspace blog - especially the Abundance Mixtape, which is full of dope remixes and gives the casual listener time to catch up on just who these guys are. Enjoy!
