Fennesz / Sakamoto – Cendre
December 1st, 2011 | MusicPicked up the MP3 release of Cendre from Boomkat yesterday, and I suggest that you do too if you have functioning ears.
Aside from the excellent selection of music available there, it’s run by people who obviously love what they do, which shows in their writing and the sheer love put into the day-to-day running of the site. Their new releases newsletter is a little joy. Occasionally they come at me with some beautiful vinyl-only release and I gnash my teeth for a few seconds because I don’t own a record player and don’t have the space for one, but that’s a small price to pay for it all, really.

If nothing else it’s nice to be outside of the iTunes/Amazon spectrum and dig a little deeper. I know there are more stores (Bleep and the like, and of course Bandcamp, which I find myself trawling through on a regular basis, getting into a clicktrance that can last for hours), but Boomkat consistently provides me with good stuff. Generally speaking, if it’s on there at all it’s worth checking out at least.
Go forth.

Turbines To Speed
November 30th, 2011 | Bits and bobsRight, here we are then, site is done. And online. I took advantage of a week off work and came up with this purple Cthulhu-Deco monstrosity. It’s finished enough for me to be happy for the world to see it, and rough enough for me to keep wanting to tweak bits here and there.
I’ll be posting links to music and articles I think you should know about, in between rants.
This and part two are interesting reads, cutting between the tech and the culture. Go.
Music: Oldies But Happies
November 29th, 2011 | MusicThis has long been a favourite of mine, despite being poisonously cheerful. I use it to wake up whichever poor sod has fallen asleep on my sofa the morning after a night of drinking and shouting.
