  • Hang Drum remixed [Update]

    There’s a video that’s been around on video sites like youtube that’s been around for a while now which I’ve been slightly obsessed with ever since the first time I saw it. Manu Delago posted a video of a solo piece he did on an instrument called a Hang which I’d seen before but never heard played properly. I just LOVED the sound the things were making. When I heard it I really wanted to do something with it. Not too much but just……enhance it maybe? Re-edit it? I dunno. But I found out I could do video editing in good old ableton so I thought I’d give it a go. Here’s the result:

    Here’s an mp3 of the audio: Manu Delago – Hand Drum Solo (Mono Desire) [TM Remix]
    Here’s a downloadable version of the audio:

    A big Thank you to Manu for posting the original video (which you can see here) and for letting me post the remix.

  • Minimix

    I’ve been listening to Annie Mac’s Mashup radio show for a little while now and generally the bit I’m waiting for is the minimix – 5mins where a DJ, producer or band make a musical collage of stuff that has influenced them or that they’re listening to at the moment. Here’s my go:

    Tiger Mendoza – Minimix (v2)
    Tracklisting:
    Prodigy – No good (start the dance)
    Primal Scream – Movin’ on up
    Lion – Transformers theme
    Pendulum – Propane nightmares
    QOTSA – No-one knows (UNKLE remix)
    Burial – Archangel
    DJ Shadow – High noon
    The Chemical Brothers – Setting Sun (Live version)
    The Beatles – Tomorrow never knows
    The Evenings – I Didn’t remember
    Iggy Pop – Lust for life
    NiN – Perfect Drug (Acapella)
    Foo Fighters – Everlong
    RHCP – Under the bridge
    Kings of convenience – I don’t know what… (Mojib remix)
    The Herbaliser – On your knees
    Orbital & Kirk Hammett – Satan
    Squarepusher – My Red hot car
    David Holmes – Radio 7
    Union of Knives – Opposite direction
    The Knack – My Sharona

    (update 02/11: Sorry, couldn’t resist making a couple of minor tweaks!)

  • “Hiiiiiiiiiggghhhh…as a kite…”

    I don’t really know why, but I love this:

    And a great Family Guy mini version.

  • “Said I’ve seen your picture on a $100 bill…”

    5 years ago, Elliott Smith died. His death is probably the only ‘celebrity’ death where I can say I know exactly where I was and what I was doing when I found out (putting out CDs in hight street ‘music retailer’). For better or for worse, he was is one of my favourite song writers and his music has meant a lot to me over the years. Here’s a short article from the LAist on his life from SPIN.com on the circumstances leading up to his death.
    Cheers for the music Elliott.
