Alpha & Omega - "Dub Flute" (Sound System Dub)

Came by on the Ott radiostation.

Curious, since it's dub and definitely stands out inbetween the Shpongle's and Ott's.

Then again, Death Cab for Cutie came by as well.

Hurray For The Riff Raff - "Dance With Death" (It Don't Mean I Don't Love You)

On the GY!BE channel.

Sad ukelele, a drunken circus song sung by a velvety-rough girl.

update

found something on myspace, not overwhelming

Christopher Marlowe - "Ignoto" (+/- 1564-1593)

I Love thee not for sacred chastity.
Who loves for that? nor for thy sprightly wit:
I love thee not for thy sweet modesty,
Which makes thee in perfection's throne to sit.
I love thee not for thy enchanting eye,
Thy beauty, ravishing perfection:
I love thee not for that my soul doth dance,
And leap with pleasure when those lips of thine,
Give musical and graceful utterance,
To some (by thee made happy) poet's line.
I love thee not for voice or slender small,
But wilt thou know wherefore? Fair sweet, for all.

'Faith, wench! I cannot court thy sprightly eyes,
With the base viol placed between my thighs:
I cannot lisp, nor to some fiddle sing,
Nor run upon a high stretching minikin.
I cannot whine in puling elegies.
Entombing Cupid with sad obsequies:
I am not fashioned for these amorous times,
To court thy beauty with lascivious rhymes:
I cannot dally, caper, dance and sing,
Oiling my saint with supple sonneting:
I cannot cross my arms, or sigh "Ah me,"
"Ah me forlorn!" egregious foppery!
I cannot buss thy fill, play with thy hair,
Swearing by Jove, "Thou art most debonnaire!"
Not I, by cock! but I shall tell thee roundly,
Hark in thine ear, zounds I can fuck thee soundly.

Sweet wench, I love thee; yet I will not sue,
Or show my love as musky courtiers do;
I'll not carouse a health to honour thee,
In this same bezzling drunken courtesy:
And when all's quaffed, eat up my bousinglass,
In glory that I am thy servile ass.
Nor will I wear a rotten Bourbon lock,
As some sworn peasant to a female mock.
Well-featured lass, thou know'st I love thee dear,
Yet for thy sake I will not bore mine ear,
To hang thy dirty silken shoe-tires there:
Not for thy love will I once gnash a brick,
Or some pied colours in my bonnet stick.
But by the chaps of hell, to do thee good,
I'll freely spend my thrice decocted blood.

Overseer - "Meteorolgy" (Wreckage)

Violin- and orchestra-samples, spoken word, beats.

Bit bombastic, with beat.

update

the album is "harder", more breakbeat, some oldskool '90 samples

RJD2 - "Ghostwriter" (Deadringer)

Nice {tr|h}iphop

update

listening to album now

  • Smoke and Mirrors: oldfashioned samples and voices, good

Der Baader-Meinhof Complex

Raw, rough.

The difficult openingsscene, in which protesting students are severely beaten, is just the start.

The film is gritty, and doesn't loose that when halfway it seems to become more of a documentary than a film: suddenly new people enter the story, and their importance or role isn't immediatly clear.

Good film, but not for an easy night

Micmacs à tire-larigot

"Innocent fun", but in a way, it starts to feel like a trick of mister Jean-Pierre "Amelie" Jeunet.

Still, at certain times, this would be a great film for its simplicity and fun

Broken Family Band - "Yer Little Bedroom" (Welcome Home, Loser)

Americana, not bad. Look into.
