Ghetto – Artillery



Nicely produced video for this. I quite prefer don't phone me, the guy is nuts when he gets pissed.

Freddie Gibbs - Murda On My Mind (live on pitchfork)

Giggs - Dont Go There (ft B.O.B)



UK and US crossover. Peckham/narm to Atlanta:

Beach Boys - You're So Good to Me



As the entire UK freezes over it's sometimes easy to forget that the Beach Boys exist.

Best Coast - Up all night



Best Coast - Up all night

Vampire Weekend WTF



Contra Madness

Mavado & Flexx- Walk Wid Dem Casket



Another chef favourite. A banger from last year

Beach House - Take Care



"I'll take care of you - if you ask me to"

I know I'm not the only blog going bananas for this album but this song is truly beautiful

A Walkmen song I had no idea existed..

..and its incredible. The wailing of "I get held up by this heart of mine" always hits me in the chest



The album cover says "Music from and inspired by"



Was this really inspired by Spiderman 3? Really??

Weedeater - God Luck And Good Speed



These guys are the absolute kings of stoner metal

Black Uhuru - I Love King Selassie



God I love this track

P Money - If Mans Talking



This video is awesome (and the track is one of the better ones from his last mixtape "Money over Everyone")

The beginning reminds me of the beginning of the Bad video

Bon Iver Dubstep

Someone arrived on this blog after searching for "Bon Iver Dubstep" on Google.

When I saw that I laughed out loud in disbeleif but amazingly it actually exists.

It's not going to change your life but I like the fact that someone actually attempted to do it!

Bon Iver - Flume (Dubstep Mix)

Daniel Johnston - True Love Will Find You In The End




This song creeped back into my headphones today. That is all

Tuesday 5 January 2010

R Kelly - Echo




Bit of a raunchy start to the year here at the Iron Chef

R Kelly continues with his opera of kinkiness on his new album

Monday 4 January 2010

Stunning live performance from Nina Simone



The end always leaves a lump in my throat.

Although I have always listened to the more hushed version on her Colpix Years anthology:

Strong Arm Steady + Madlib - Jordache Look



Strong Arm Steady + Madlib - Jordache Look

Little bit ridiculous. Little bit awesome

One album that has been missed out of every "best of the decade" list



Death from above 1979 - You're a woman, I'm a machine

"We wanted our band to be like an elephant in your living room," - Jesse F. Keeler

It's basically a ticket to a two man canadian cathartic offloading of emotion and angst coupled with highly sexual lyrics and crashing cymbals.

Not everyones taste but definitely to mine

Gangstarr - Mass Appeal



Blast from the past
