There are 2 tracks, ‘Baltimore’ and ‘Marathon’, doing the rounds on the interweb from this husband and wife duo “Tennis” at the moment and both are tres coolio.

Hopefully there is more soon, in the mean time these are well worth the listen.

New Kanye West “Power” ft Dwele

admin — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 21:41:02 +0000

So ol’ Kanye really lost his rag there for a while- shorty was a ho, mama died on the plastic surgery table, made a shite album about that and then he stabbed that kitten onstage at the MTV VMAs… sigh.

Now “he’s back” (you always have to come back) with a new song that isn’t Auto-tuned bollocks!

Naturally he’s still flapping on about his issues-but this song is actually pretty good! (Thanks Pitchfork!)

ANDREW’S TWO ALBUMS OF THE WEEK

admin — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 00:55:01 +0000

M.I.A. – /\/\ /\ Y /\ (Xl Recordings)
The “pop” single on Maya Arulpragasam’s third album contains the refrain “you want me (to) be somebody who I’m really not” – is she responding to the masses who really like Paper Planes after they heard it in Slumdog Millionaire? The people who call her Mia – like Farrow? Smacking them in the metaphorical face? I like to think so. And then, with the rest of this record she kicks them in their groins and gouges their eyes out. Metaphorically, of course; using the knuckle-dusters of dubstep-star Rusko production and the numb-chucker of Derek Miller (Sleigh Bells) on Meds and Feds among her arsenal of aural assault. Teqkilla, with both Rusko and Switch joining in production is likely to give someone brain damage if they’re not careful. Lovalot – or as she sings it, stretching out and dropping a consonant “I really love Allah” – she explores and imagines the “mindset of impulsive youth caught up in Islamic terrorism”. M.I.A. is pulling no punches or being careful with her pop-stardom – if anything she’s prepared to destroy it in the name of her art. And, that is exciting, invigorating and challenging. – AT

DIE DIE DIE – Form (Flying Nun)
Arguably (but, really, who is arguing) New Zealand’s hardest working band return with a new album – and their debut on the recently reclaimed Flying Nun. It’s a glorious aural assault on all your senses – I mean you can literally taste how good this sounds; you can smell it. Mikey’s drums are like some sort of magical jack hammer; Lauchlan’s bass-lines are fluid and hypnotic while Andrew’s guitar envelopes you in melodies which dance with his vocals. There are generous servings of pop sensibilities throughout this record; the progressions in Lil Ships are to die (die die) for. While forthcoming second single, Howye and Daze are dreamlike – the latter reminding me of early Chills – in quite the contrast to the quasi-industrial We Built Our Own Oppressors with it’s genius-ly placed ‘wooo’s – this is a song to rise the masses if there has ever been one.
Form is as diverse as it is cohesive – and yet again they have outdone themselves – easily their best work to date – which only make me more excited about the next album (which they have apparently already finished) – AT
