DAY 267 Negativland 'I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For'

After posting Cassette Boy yesterday, here's another cut & paste classic...

Day 266 Half Man Half Biscuit "Joy Division Oven Gloves"

I've said it before (probably on this blog) and I'll say it again: Nigel Blackwell is a national treasure.

Wonder what he'd think of Disney's Joy Div t-shirt?

Day 265 Ben Watt "On Box Hill"

It's difficult to make places like Box Hill and the Guilford Road sound magical and full of possibilities, but if any record can, this one can.

Day 264 Bunker Hill "The Girl Can't Dance"

How about for an injection of Rock 'n' Roll energy into your day? Play loud!

Day 263 Lemon Jelly "The Staunton Lick"

We were reminiscing about this lot over the weekend...

Day 262 Fred Neil "The Dolphins"

Amazing! where did this footage come from?!

Day 261 Brother Ali "Uncle Sam Goddam"

Favourite line from this?

"the governments an addict / With a billion dollar a week kill brown people habit"

Day 260 The Ragga Twins "Iron Lady"

I try and think about That Bloody Woman as little as possible, but with Meryl Streep's face peering from posters everywhere you look recently (even in Istanbul, for chrissakes) it's difficult.

Here's a missive from the streets of Hackney. I haven't seen the film, but assume that this aspect of her tenure - the overt racism and decimation of Britains's inner cities - wasn't covered in as much detail as the classic love story that was Dennis and Maggie...

Day 259 Missy Elliot "The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)"

From - ouch - 15 years ago now.

Day 258 Gift Of Gab "Way Of The Light"

Nowhere near enough hip hop on the blog, so I'll try and remedy it over the comning days...

Day 257 Fun Boy Three "Tunnel Of Love"

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone...

Day 256 The Soul Stirrers "I'm A Soldier"

It's nearly enough to make you believe...

Day 255 Randy Newman "Short People"

Thinking of little Luis Suarez...

Day 254 Beachwood Sparks "Confusion Is Nothing New"

Psychedelic Country music...whatever happened to them?

Day 253 Yoko Ono "Approximately Infinite Universe"

I love this album - Yoko does cosmic pop in her own singular way. Hopefully it's refreshing for those who didn't like yesterday's spudrock. Bring Ono the brickbats...

Day 252 Oasis "Half The World Away"

Noel Gallagher may be an unspeakable turd these days with his recents comments about Thatcher and years of stodgy riff recycling (in fact, he may always have been one). But there was a brief moment - the first album, and this really - where he was worth listening to. bring ono the brickbats!

Day 251 Mantronix "Who Is It?"

The TR808 as it should be..erm..played? programmed? Whatever...

Day 250 Frankie Knuckles "Tears"

Hitting the quarter century, hopefully this constitutes re-boarding the soul train enough for you guys, especially Neil crowe!

Day 249 Swans "Half Life"

Feeling rather middle aged in my listening recently, I cranked this up today. Then -remembered the song itself is nearly middle-aged (29 years old now!). Soul crushing

Day 248 Beans "Blind Driver"

Psychedelic electro at its finest...

Day 247 Cybotron "Clear"

Back...to the future.

Day 245 Captain Beefheart "Owed T'Alex"

It's been a while since we had the good Captain on here, so here's one that made me take a long, dusty detour last time I was in the States. Carson City...don't reccommend it
