The tenth annual Dpercussion event takes place this year on the 4th of August. From previous experience, this is a lovely laid back day with some of the acts likely to go on and be big next year, so it’s worth having a sniff round the various stages to say ‘I saw them first!’

Also, in previous years, various suprise additions to the bill have added a certain frisson to the day, so don’t rule out a bigger name playing, even though they aren’t on the list. There are always a nice range of acts from thumping techno, to pleasant jingly jangly guitar with a smattering of alsorts in between so there’s something for everyone - If you somehow get bored, you are only a short walk from Manchester’s many fine shops, art galleries and museums. So what exactly is your excuse?

The greatest joke about Joe Pasquale ever told:

Stewart Lee is now on tour and here, in this ‘ere interweb link is the dates when you can go and see him: http://www.stewartlee.co.uk/gigs.htm

It’s a new series where I tell you to hail something random and possibly post a link to something to do with it. My role is to find stuff. Your role is to enjoy it.

I’m off to the Wickerman festival tomorrow, last year the whole thing was worth it for the mighty, mighty, mighty Eek a Mouse.

Have a couple of vids :)

Legend.

I’m trying to mess about with the format a bit for my ’21st birthday’

This show is a triple pronged attack, 3 20 minute shows all based around a different theme. They are not sequential, you can listen to them in any order you like. A 20 minute mix of jungle from Soundclick, a 20 minute off the cuff mix of mashups, and a 20 minute mix of famous French songs to celebrate Bastille day on Saturday

I haven’t done any of these types of shows for ages, so I hope I’m not too out of practice, I enjoyed making them, and I hope that you enjoy listening to them. please leave a comment just to let me know someone bothers listening

Forgotten about in the depths of the internet until yesterday, bored during Die Hard 4, I present to you Kid Hideous Radio episodes I and II. Radio I is a mashup of Kid Hideous and various other remixes from 2005 mostly made while holed up in my first job in Korea. Radio II is an eccentric mix of computer game soundtracks, old skool hardcore, gameboy sound effects, film samples and stupid beats

Apologies for the sound quality, the only existing copies were left on WaxDJ so low bitrates, and I think the sound quality was fairly low anyway, although bear with Radio I because the 2nd half is better than the 1st……

These come from a much more innocent time, can it be that it was all so simple then…..

Hideous Radio I - Hardcore MuthaF***a

Kid Hideous - Spaceman (rmx)
Kid Hideous -Airbomb
Kid Hideous -The Filth
Kid Hideous -Boosters
Kid Hideous -Distraction
Diamond Geezer - Uptown Top Rankin
Technohead - I Wanna Be a Hippy (Remix)
Sinead O Connor - Nothing Compares 2 U
Bounty Killer - Smoke the Herb (Junglist)
Bounty Killer - Murderer
Peanuts Theme

also features elements from Fight the Power by Public Enemy

Hideous Radio II - Nintendo Junglism

Has no tracklisting because it is a super fast mashup, and I can’t remember half of it. All loops arranged by Kid Hideous. I may make one if I get around to it, but don’t hold your breath

download both here

Hideous Radio XXI coming soon!!!!

Hip hop mashup shizznit from up and coming producer Audiobytes for Autobots. A lot of fun this album, old school hip hop mashed together, perfect for summer daze sipping on gin n juice……

track 1: Messenger

The first in an occaisional series of film reviews starting with:

Zidane - A 21st Century Portrait

Ostensibly a cinematic version of Sky’s player cam, ‘Zidane’ is both the best and worse of the contemporary fethistic view of football. On the one hand, this claims made about this film are almost ludicrously pretentious yet on the other, the resulting watch is both sumptiously rich and refreshingly stark. How, I hear you cry, can this dichotomy exist?

Simple: Zidane - Why is 90 minutes of one man running up and down, fleetingly touching the ball and occaisionly yelping ‘hey’ strangely compelling - Because, simply, it’s Zidane, because it’s the genius, the enigma, the dark, moody magic, a player who existed without hype, without hyperbole who seemed to just, well, be fucking amazing.

The film captures his intense concentration, his incredable touch, his fantastic knack of drifting into space - To a none football fan, I really doubt whether this film has appeal beyond 5 or ten minutes, but to someone like me, then this is curiously compelling watching. - In short, the richness is the physical genius of Zidane, one headed pass alone is just outragously good and ridiculously cooly executed.

What then, of the starkness? - The cinematography gives us no replays, no slo-mo’s, no voice over, just vision and crowd and some times the yelps and breaths of the players. It felt good to watch football on a screen and escape from the conventions of the football production, to feel like an onlookers at a recorded event, not a consumer of a designed product.

Mogwai’s soundtrack blends well with the layers and textures of the stadium noise and gives a lovely floaty feel to some of the less edifying passages of action, which in turn give the film a refreshing snse that, actually, you are being given time to reflect and study, rather than sold an icon in a highlights reel.

Football’s place in culture is an uneasy one for me - I do think the world’s greatest game deserves recording and examing for it’s ability to elicit passion and bring together millions weekly - conversely I also think much of this attention is sloppy, lazy, sentimental and aimed at selling a nice comfy version of ‘the football experience’ or ‘the most important thing in the world TM’ - For me, Zidane avoids the latter and despite obvious difficulties for a wider audience achieves something simple - provides a document of one of the greatest modern players and as such is an admirable success.

If you avoid the bullshit about ‘this film represents a physical musing upon existential questions blah, blah, blah’ - you can’t help but like it
