Teh ClassikZ #3

Hey internet peeps,


Believe it or not there is an actual list for teh classikZ. It only goes up to 25 at the moment but that's because i'm lazy and don't care about you all that much. Besides, Big B hasn't weighed in with his industrial gothcore classikZ (not that they cut it) and Mr. A hasn't weighed in with that band that sounds like Sigur Ros he was telling me about.

We would get feedback from the likes of Robo K, Paranoid J (people are writing about you while you're doing other things :O ) and even Mother F, but they don't contribute so no dice...

Anywayz, #3 on our list is Girl Talk's awesome Night Ripper.

A while back, and by a while back i mean not last week but something similar, someone mentionedhow well Girl Talk went down at a party and then an equally enthusiastic person seconded it. Take into account that nobody reacted violently to it at the recent infamous Knex Party (details of the party are to be brought to the grave - especially by those involved in the events before and after the firework fight), all signs point to this album being well liked.

This is as good as the best of 2 Many DJ's and has the added bonus of not sampling anything that anyone shouldn't already like (except for about half its smaples, but lets overlook those). It's an awesome mash-up and Scrubs is calling to me so i'm gonna stop typing.

In closing, listen to it loud and often.

This weeks issue...

Hey net peeps,

NME came in a shiny packet this week so its a must buy. Why the shiny package you ask? The annual students guide, i say :D NME decides to guide us around the UK and Ireland at the start of every college year so that Freshers can feel more secure in knowing they live in a real city.

But uh-oh! Not only is Ireland mis-shapen, but now most of my friends have printed confirmation that they don't go to college in a real place. Where do they go to college you ask? Its hard to say coz its not marked.

As for the magazine itself, its one of the better issues. The guy on the cover is called pink eyes and decided to slice himself with a razor blade than use fake blood (talk about unsafe!). They're a Canadian DIY punk group and from what i've heard, they're the shit live.

As for new albums, Lovvers, Girl Talk and the Walkmen all get iffy reviews (Lovvers deserved better).

The most shocking thing about the magazine this week though is that they almost completely bury a story that could easily merit a cover story. M.I.A. is making a new album! Pitchfork had an article about her coming out of retirement, but NME, in a story about how she's starting a new record label, tag on a paragraph saying that if all goes to plan, the new LP is gonna be out next summer.

Fucked up indeed (zomg @ humour)
