Justice ‘Audio Video Disco’
A lot has changed since the French twosome Justice were in their pomp and considered the coolest thing since le pain en tranches. It is no longer 2007 (or 05/06 if we’re to truly going to get on our Nathan Barley shaped high horses here). We’ve now got bigger fish to fry than birds with flu, Zinedine Zindane’s monstrous and brilliant butt is a thing assigned to the recesses of youtube memory and Obama is now more debt plan than Batman. Importantly, the kids who were spearheading lovey-dovey mosh pits at Justice concerts- all neon-ed up and feeling invincible off their first and best taste of MDMA- are now older, wearier and probably unemployed in recession Britain/World.

Nov 7th
Although not raising it’s ugly head for a considerable length of time, Spotted Dick has been dormant, not dead. Now it’s back in fully fledged action, attempting to warm the cockles of your heart which November has already began to erode. Spotted Dick November 2010
Enjoy.

This is some of the music I’ve been grabbing at like a chubby fingered kid at the pic ‘n’ mix stand:
I’m late to the Fool’s Gold party, but fuck it; being late, being fashionable- it still means something in this mixed up world right? Anyway, this is a great collective who are really quite impressive purveyors of the sacred art of having slightly intellectualised, but  no less pleasurable, fun.

Simian Mobile Disco- Temporary Pleasure
Â
Â
After releasing their debut album Attack Decay Sustain Release in 2007, Simian Mobile Disco have gone on to become the unlikeliest pair of geeky superstar DJs in the world. While that album might not have quite been ingrained into the minds and dance floors of a generation in the same way as, say, the debut from Justice, it definitely occupied a firm and happy place in many a hardcore clubber and music fan alike.

Spotted Dick Week 2
Â
Like a boomerang, a tramp that you once gave money to and Freddy Flintoff’s injury woes, Spotted Dick keeps coming back for more and will continue to do so. So here’s this week’s playlist of songs; some new, some old and some emo.Â

Bob Dylan- “Blonde on Blondeâ€
After causing something of a stir by what is now infamously know as his “going electricâ€, Dylan released two albums (“Bringing it All Back Home†and “Highway 61 Revisitedâ€) in 1965, but it is this album of 1966- with its increasingly surreal lyrics and often woozy mixture of blues, rock and melody- that is considered by many to be one of his finest pieces of work.

Franz Ferdinand- “Tonight: Franz Ferdinand”
It’s been a long time coming, this here third Franz Ferdinand album. They may have stormed British popular culture with two highly successful albums in two years but after four years in relative oblivion, does anyone still care about four guys who were already the “wrong†side of 30?
Yes, of course they do. Silly question.

Radiohead- “Amnesiac”
Recorded mostly during the same sessions for “Kid A”, Radiohead described these two albums, released in 2000 and 2001, as “twins separated at birth”. Considering that “Kid A” is on fairly good terms with bleakness, it shouldn’t be taken lightly that “Amnesiac” is the creepy, fucked up sibling of the two.

TV on The Radio @ Shepherds Bush Empire 19/11/2008
TV on The Radio’s most recent long player, “Dear Scienceâ€, seems to have disappointed a number of fans equally as much as it has been, or will be, featured in end of year best of lists, yet, judging by the hysteria of an excited buzz mixed with furiously busy touts, tonight the stage is really set for them to prove their worth.

Fucked Up/Rolo Tomassi @ Camden Barfly 6/11/2008
Anyone smart enough to brave it to Camden tonight not to see a Pete Doherty solo set is in for a treat with this XFM showcase at the perfectly scummy Barfly. Although advertised as a “secret headliner”, it seems everyone is pretty confident that it’s Canadian hardcore punk outfit Fucked Up that will be taking to the stage by the end of the night.
