Whatever happened to Rico, Dolman and Cadet Paris? I'm sooo out of the loop.

I'm listening to this one of ours we've just uploaded to YouTube 'Rubbish Song' by Dead Residents. It's from our new LP which is indie Hip Hop and a bit punk-ish/ electro and prog I'd say. Aaaannyway...

I thought it was garbage!  ;) Must be the only hip hop track ever to reference the Wombles, although Eminem is bound to get round to them once he's run out of celebrities to reference.

The only sane response to two consecutive afternoons of nice weather in Scotland is to open all your windows, crank up the bass, and pretend you're in Kingston.
Bah. While my pallid brethren have been firmly taps aff for the holiday weekend, the temperatures here almost plummeted into single figures. As a result, I've been mostly listening to songs with actual words of late. Here's the enjoyably raucous Cloud Nothings and the more claustrophobic EMA. Plenty of geek fun reading the tracklisting for her new album.
We never really die.

It's a dubious accolade to be the only Hip Hop group to reference the Wombles but its one I'll take :-) cheers Sauchie!

I think I can beat you in this game of naming hipster girl singers with short names that look like acronyms - has the distinction of being the only Danish act I can remember troubling pop music since Alphabeat. Here's a jaunty tune about a girl employed in the Easter Road merchandise shop to console you for missing all two days of Scotland's Spring heat wave, while detained in the land of Toblerone and AK47s in the airing cupboard.

You went Rock on me, man. That's happening less and less every month - if I wasn't scared of sounding like the Columbia record executive who turned down the Beatles because guitar bands were over, I'd say that Emo was the last period of mainstream popularity for the entire genre. That last Fallout Boy record sank, and wanky indie bands like The Kooks (p-tooh!) are working with hip hop producers to try and get airplay. If it pleases the court, I'd like to submit the new Black Keys single as exhibit number one.

My big sister was a mosher and so rawk has seeped into my pores over time. I really haven't been keeping tabs on where the heavier side of the music spectrum is currently at - that might be made apparent by the fact that those three songs are at least ten years old.
Truth be told, my interests lie more in stuff like:

Beck - Lost Cause
http://youtu.be/qkNa5xzOe5U
Culture - Two Sevens Clash
http://youtu.be/F3HITsh2vjE
Slam - Lifetimes
http://youtu.be/ZlSh2modMyk
Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan - To Hell & Back Again
http://youtu.be/NOlPrCUy738

and so on...

I like tortured guitar and punishing drums, me, and it's odd to think a whole section of music might be slipping into irrelevance, like Jazz had by the time I was a kid. American kids who used to lap up Rawk seem to have been seduced by not dissimilar dynamics of dubstep and the monstrous redneck/dance hybrids currently terrorising daytime radio. Mention of Isobel Campbell reminds me of the similarly sweet vocals of Lauren Mayberry ...

I love CHVRCHES. There is a guy at my work who shares my music tastes but he doesn't get CHVRCHES. Weird.

Before I go I'll leave you all with a selection of nineties rawk -

Well as a famous philosopher once said, you have "Got to get up to get down." :D
