Rhythmes Magnetique, Side E



Straight outta Rouen, France it's Loïc Boyer with another splendid mix...

Disco L'Imprimante - Rhythmes Magnetiques Face E (mp3, 30 minutes)

hey, hey, hey, this one's for ya
it's called Rythmes Magnétiques (side E)

and it goes a lil' some like this:

DABRYE "So Scientific" (2001Ghostly International)
aka Tadd Mullinix, you know, the guy who worked with Jay dee, Prefuse 73 and Jurassic 5. I love that sound. I'm always expecting Afrika Bambaataa to comme up with a "zulu" chorus anytime.

LAURENT LA TORPILLE "SanSSucreS" (2005 Euro-Visions)
More beats, more electro, this is Baroque Beats fore sure. Go Rouen, go!

PSYCHIC TV "OV Power" (2003 Tigersushi)
A re-issue of this mid-eighties track performed by Genesis P. Orridge's posse. Those were the "house" times of the band, and maybe not the best times. Anyway, still crazy enough to fit that mix.

UTER "Tomorrow's Clown" (2003 Oscarr Recordings)
Jesus & Mary Chain's alive! Uter met them on the bus with the Cocteau Twins.

STARSHOOTER "Le Poinconneur des Lilas" (1978 Pathé Marconi)
A gonzo punk band from Lyon, France, performing a Serge gainsbourg cover. A great sleeve design by Etienne Robial, and it was great to put this track just before:

TORTOISE & BONNIE PRINCE BILLY "That's Pep!" (2006 Overcoat Recordings)
A great Devo track, an insane song in an insane version. Great, and these guys made a whole album filled with magnificent covers from songs by Bruce Springsteen or Elton John. It's called the brave and the Bold, go and get it!

GRAND MASTERFLASH & THE FURIOUS FIVE "The Message - instrumental" (1982 Sugarhill records)
It's always cool to put an easy classic between rough rarities…

ESPLENDOR GEOMETRICO "Moscu Esta Helado" (1980 Ata Tak)
Spain used to go industrial, did you know that?

where da cash at?

Bun B (feat. Remy Ma, alan braxe and fred falke) - Draped Up

Got the draped up single last thursday and I absolutely had to re-work it. Alan Braxe and Fred Falke's "Rubicon" sounded good. But then the draped up chorus wasn't sounding right, so I replaced it with Remy Ma off Currency's "where da cash at" single.

and look at this, a nonsense video for Rubicon

I'm a man for you



The Needles - Dianne.mp3

Can't get this song out of my head. You're just gonna have to listen to it to see what I mean.


Now about that picture at the top. These two artists, one from vancouver island, Russ Morland, and one from montreal, Tim Barnard inked it out. They did a collaborative show in montreal back in April and this is one of the results.



Titanium Tim went ahead and dubbed the event "the fight all fight fans have been waiting for", which would prove to be somewhat amusing. According to Russ Morland (and he is british so he might be making it all up) there was a problem with wall space they could share, and there was a shortage of markers to draw on the walls. There was some disagreement between the two regarding the wall space and the markers and apparently according to Morland "tim wouldn't stop complaining" so Morland went and put Barnard into an armlock and took the black marker from him. I suppose there were a couple more altercations between the two of them one of which is shown in the picture below:



I originally thought that picture was fixed, so I just overlooked it for a couple of months, and it may be as that Russ guy can't be trusted. But now that it has been revealed to me that that picture captured one of the actual skirmishes between the british and the french (canadian) at an art event that was dubbed as a fight that turned into a fight I find it all too amusing and have to post it up here, even though it's old news, it's new news to me.
