Well, just look at this comrades, there are no shambling or even jangling guitars involved this time around. OMG! WTF? Etc. The heavens may well implode. But, to be fair, I did make a firm promise a few weeks ago that these regular Sunday mixes wouldn't just be C86 indie-pop and/or early-90s shoegaze in nature, remember? And so I can now fulfill this bold promise. I suppose you could call this a 'dub'-type of mix (?) but I wouldn't be too sure about that sorely abused, rather hijacked, badge of dishonour these days. It has deep, historical and political connotations, you know, the purists would gaggle, weep and then attempt murder for the sake of musical mummification. Watch your backs out there. Thus, to safeguard my general health and well-being, I'll say no more except this: these are all fucking brilliant tracks whatever genre you want to place them in. Just listen; listen hard, listen deep and listen as if your wee-twee-free life depended on it. More jangle coming soon though, obviously... :)

Out of all and everything, I guess, choosing this one long-player would be more than perfect to accompany your large glass of Hendricks - with added cucumber of course - this evening. Or is that a touch controversial, I wonder? The album selection, I mean. I thought it one of his best, actually.

Best roots song eva.
Excellent choices Colin, omg and wtf and all the other expressions that I neither know nor care to find out.
ReplyDeleteBut ffs, cucumber in gin, leave the cucumber to the upper classes to put in what they jokingly refer to as sandwiches, whose horrible little triangular things. I will stick to lime in my Tanquery thanks, I'm not that fond of Hendricks although I do think the bottle looks quite cool.
Seen.
ReplyDeleteI have found Drew to be reliable on gin matters.
Am looking forward to a Dub Holiday Monday.
Well, Lazer, it very well might have been until The (shitting shit) Prodigy went and (bastard well) ruined it with their (sampling) plagiarist fucking about...
ReplyDeleteI only recently became familiar with a) this type of gin and b) the cucumber 'thing'. Allow me a few moments, Drew, pretending I'm a bit bourgeois and all 'la-dee-da'.
Dub it is, for sure Davy. And yes, I'll give Tanquery and lime a go... :)
