Re-upped with boosted sound. Original was a bit quiet.

Awesome, your first big people mix has become a real favourite of mine, and goes down bloody well whenever i inflict it on other people!
Look forward to giving this a listen

Cheers 

Here's a new mix. This one focuses on Jamaican sounds from the early to late-sixties: Ska, Rocksteady and early Reggae. All recorded from 45rpm records on 2 turntables and a mixer in 1 take.

It's my 40th the week after. See you there.

If you follow the link and click on the second 'here' programme link there's a map. It says sound systems will be open till 2am, isn't that a bit later than normal?

http://www.stpaulscarnival.co.uk/

No. I've been there way later than that in the past

Edit: I also think having some sort of listing or line-up for Carnival is missing the point of it, somewhat. It's not fucking V festival.

for you it's more of a case of find negus melody and staying all day isnt it? 

True.

My point is, Carnival isn't really about schedules and ticking off things to see. You'll be lucky if things run on time anyway.

On now and sounding good. Cheers 

I should be around during the day. Hopefully see you there, Steve. Been a while.

I went to st andrews park for the first time last weekend. It was great. Then it got really busy and then someone started playing drum and bass so I left.

It seemed to be a lot of people doing poi and the rest of them talking about how lame poi was. Very odd little climate.

I was also having a lovely time there at the weekend when the aforementioned gents turned up. Turned up with decks, generator, speakers, didnt seem to know anybody there, stood around looking like they were looking the dogs B'z for a little while before "treating" us to their wonderful blend of loud DnB, whilst their Dj's pose like it was fucking Ibiza. Ruined pretty much everyones nice afternoon (apart from the 3 gurned up  gents, one wearing a TUTU who seemed to be more enjoying wearing bright colours than music).

Come on lads, sort it out..

A Prophet

Mesrine

and L'armée des ombres is not that recent (1969), but is a belter

That's a great poster

edit: Forgot to add, for the flight over I used air france with 1 connection point each way. Took longer but was about 500 quid cheaper than other flights direct.

We did this and you're right - it is much cheaper. Unfortunately, Air France are the biggest bunch of incompetent, arrogant, lying cunts around.

You've got an actual, physical shop in the middle of Bristol that specialises in both of these. Go and speak to them. They're very nice and friendly

Also went to Kyoto for a while whilst out there. Lots more temples than Tokyo and enjoyable in it's own right. I'd recommend it.

I would say 3 weeks minimum is a good amount to stay out there. There are lots of different parts of the country to visit. Still need to make it down to the tropical islands in the South.

I also don't think it's that expensive. You're looking at London prices on average (in Tokyo). You can go mental and spend a lot of money if you wish, but decent enough food, drink and accommodation shouldn't ruin you if you're on a budget and sensible.

and there's plenty of DJ's spinning 'Under mi sleng teng' in Park Street bars that go on like they're Rodigan...

  

Wait 2 years until you are old enough to get into most of the venues in Bristol

What a treat. Cheers, Steve

Thanks for all the kind words.

Bass Clef isn't from Bristol  

Yes he is 

From London 

Thanks you two 

Thanks for the feedback. Might have some plans for this before doing a download. Watch this space

Edit - I'd add some Ekoplekz stuff too. Think he's had a couple out this year.

RIP.

please forgive seeing Don Letts on there..

 

Ahhhhh shitbags    RIP

Excellent booking. Will be there

Has anyone seen Beyond The Black Rainbow yet? Really want to see it

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/sByNAgpzoc0" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/v/sByNAgpzoc0</a>

Looks a bit style over substance, but looks really well done.

I watched Amer the other day. Fuck all happens but lovely to look at and the soundtrack is good. You may think it's a load of pretentious shit, though

Ali Baba and his 40 Dishes used to be OK. Don't know what it's like any more, though.

Pizza Bella

Argus Fish n Chips!

Apart from that, it's a bit of a cunt-hive nowadays  

Yeah I got that impression, we've been really lucky with the house we've scored with where it actually is.

I know the street you've moved to - it's a nice, quiet little street. Parking is a shit, though. West Street itself has gone from a quiet, if run down, deadzone to an overdeveloped concrete corridor of cuntdom. Don't miss it at all.

Going to have to make this. See you there, PF.

I wouldn't stack a cardboard box full of records on top of another carboard box of records for any length of time. The bottom box isn't going to be strong enough to hold the weight, and you'll have the full weight of the top box pressing down on the records underneath.

I'm sure a place like Wilkinson has cheap plastic crates or boxes that are big enough to hold a number of records and are strong enough to be stacked on top of each other. A lot of them do have slightly tapered sides though, which is a bit annoying

reclamation places might be a good place to start

 

Well it appears I have the job. So working from home for me for the next 6 months at-least with the odd trip to Holland and Iraq 

Congratulations.

Make sure they provide you with a proper chair, desk, screen and keyboard if they haven't already (or weren't going to). By law they have to provide you with a proper workstation.

All about the BTEC with no exams that's worth 3 A Levels anyway.

Unless you want to go to one of the higher ranked universities. Some have problems with BTECs

At the time, I thought going to college meant I was going to be more grown up, but in reality it was a big shock as the structure is completely different to school. I wasn't pushed to excel like I was at school

I'd agree with this. You are very much left to get on with it, to a degree. Great if you are studious enough to do the work and push yourself, but it can be easy to start skiving with little to no repercussions (apart from failing your courses, that is)

Dino 5 all the way! - http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x4zw2l_dino-5-here-comes-the-dino-5-theme_music

From Wikipedia -
"Dino 5 is a hip hop supergroup featuring Prince Paul, Chali 2na from Jurassic 5, Scratch from The Roots, Wordsworth and Lady Bug Mecca from Digable Planets.[1] Their album is a concept hip hop album for children, though it can be listened to by adults as well. The Dino 5 has also been optioned for a cartoon series and Grammy-winning poet Ursula Rucker narrates its audio book.[1] Their debut album was released April 1, 2008 and features members of De La Soul."

My kids are gonna be brought up on this! 

 

If you are going to do it full time, I would ask for it to be added to your T&Cs in your contract. It helps define your place of work in case the company you work for tries to pull some relocation shit on you. It's saved me in the past by having it in my contract.
I've worked from home full time and love it, but then I don't like other people very much.

[EXPO '70]

EXPO '70
Kansas City based Justin Wright's experimental/improvised/psychedelic/dark ambient guitar project.
"There is a level of care and craftsmanship here, not to mention sheer songwriting ability, that is sadly lacking in much avant-garde music...Expo '70 is an exceptional and essential listening experience for any fan of drone, doom, ambient, synth, or just plain good music." - Julian Cope

Great booking. Love Expo '70.

Been mention of an October release. Not sure whether that's in theatres or on DVD

Hell yeah. My era.

After my previous dissing of FFD (who I still don't like), I've been playing this FFD-related 12" out recently. Has gone down pretty well. Disco-Reggae-Dub...

Think Beavis might be able to help you here. Try dropping a mail to him through the Idle Hands record shop on Stokes Croft (info@idlehandsbristol), or pop in to the shop and have a word with them (open Mon - Sat: 11:00 - 19:00)

and I was wetter than a spastic's chin

  

99.9% of amateur producers on Soundcloud - you are the musical equivalent of the tsunami of shit junk mail thrust through my letter box on a daily basis. Please stop. Thanks.

Ahhhh shit. Sorry to hear that, Steve. Didn't realise it was that bad. Take it easy.

Where are you putting them on?...two bands is enough really..why don't you book an eclectic Dj to fill the other time up..unless you get a local mob to play for beers and (hopefully) bring about 50 people...old whatshisnames band warmed up for Hypnotic Brass when we did them at Fiddlers..the ginger bloke who pisses on people

Think it was another band, Steve. Can't remember who it was though. Lots of brass instruments.
I did play records at that Fiddlers gig though. Very good records, I might add

well it was a different gig then..the band where they all have the same father..who is that?

Most (if not all) of Hypnotic Brass Ensemble are sons of Jazz musician Phil Cohran. Must have been a previous gig they played there. You on about the one where you cooked for them all?
