dinosaur vagina.

Photobucket

this is a photo-ma-graph of a band called DINOSAUR PILE-UP ....mint.

they're from Leeds, the dude in the middle writes all the song and his name is Matty. He is obsessed with Back to the Future and writing incredible pop rock songs. Really lo-fi sorta stuff, you know all those songs you write alone, hunched up on the edge of your bed and you can only imagine if you actually had an amp, drum kit and bass guitar to play along with your song and make you an underground cult hero?....no...just me? fair play. whatevs. well he makes you want to weep at the expense of how SOUND his tunes are. bare cotch basically.

over and out.

Crumbs....everywhere.

ROBERT CRUMB.
one of those dudes that once you begin to divulge into his back catalogue, you gain an overwhelming thought of "that's exactly what i think" and then begin to question your existence when you re-read one of his fantastical graphicals and notice the date....he wrote it in 1958.......fuck.

just when i thought our generation had a single strand of "we're the first to think like this" R.Crumb enters my life (or i enter his realm of dusty storyboards) and that thought is quashed into a teeny..teeny......irrelevent pea.

his comics provoke thought. without thought we're absolutely hideous so i thank him for that.
check it. indulge and be dominated through free-thinking comix.

MUD?....yeah mud..say what?

http://www.ukuleledisco.com/clips

basically, me and a friend were recording this song for his film the other day. he was cotchin' about strumming his Uke...starts chatting about this MUD website...

me: what are you chatting about i've never heard of MUD, is it about MD?

will: nah nah nah it's this website right, you know youtube?

me: ...erm...yeah.

will: exactly. right, well instead of loads of videos about everything imaginable, it's JUST for
people to upload videos of themselves playing Ukelale.

me: ahhhhhh jokes. like that bloke who can play 'as my guitar gently weeps' bare quickly

will: yeah pretty much

me: sweet, i'll put it up on the D.D blog.

will: ya what?

me: nothing...lets finish recording the song...

and so there it is. it's absolutely mint bruv.

d.d

jammin in the livin room

If this isnt a rave I dont know what is.

Justice - Stress (Auto Mix)



discontent discotheque presents - internet dial up



and i think a topping of

justin timber?lake? - my love (edited by diplo).

Zebedy Rays


How come I had to find this out from a bulletin off the band themselves.
With a review like this "Zebedy Rays are possibly from another planet and they're just here to test us out and see if we're worthy."
TOXIC PETE

they
must be hot.
but seriously, they are. Imagine kings of leon's lead singer's wife having a baby and him getting drunk with the guys, but then hearing his home football team just lot the title by a point, and then his record label saying you need to write a song by tomoro.

Now listen to this song

zebadey rays - 18 and wandering
M83 is rather popular at the moment. I'm guessing he's near to releasing a new album. I only saw this for the first time yesterday by a film buff who never watches skate shows, but this isn't just skating. ev.eree.thing. works.



And talking of M83, this remix of the band, discontent discotheque, by prendergastly, is pretty hot on its M83 orchestral build up.

discontent discotheque - sure to clear the room (prendergastly remixed)

music from dublin...

always saves the day.

Photobucket


basically. heard of Schoolboy Error?........neither has she.

she creates sweet  songs that by the sounds of things are home recordings..which makes it even more impressive, none of that auto-tuned fall-out-boy-stuff-innit.

if you haven't clicked the link yet and aren't listening to her music you my good friend....are a mug.

d.d.

297 buff photographs

I got this off another blogmans blog. He made it with the intention of connecting art collectors and photo editors with the photographers. I just watch it for kicks. If you see one you like just click on the image and it'll take you to their website.

And I reckon if you start to watch this you wont stop. Its definately more positive then watching neighbours.

c.o.p.s.

If the police are the worst thing kicking about on these streets, i thought a post in tribute to all things good about cops would be positive.

kate copland? bournemouth university madam




Then ofcourse there is futurecop! these dudes... these dudes are hot. Originally i felt all the songs sounded the same. you might get that too.
I reckon the artwork will sell it to you alone



so go over and hang around on their myspace with the likes of michael jackson, the goonies, some gremlins.

note to self, google couldnt find anything cool about the real police.

note to yourselves. dont try to write on a policemans car.

tubelord are set to play my hometown


tubelord are one of these tiny bands coming out of kingston with speed. have you heard of them? no. Nor have I. I have. But seriously, I havent. (Dodgeball referance)
But i think the most important thing about this band is their ambition: to be the first band to ever to be compared to marmite, happily.
This is an epic song off their first e.p., Square.

Tubelord - Ultra-Machine Mp3


p.s. If you know of Colour, theres a video of them dancin to this song in a style i wanna see more of, on youtube. tubelord. youtubelord.
