Me Hols/ Back from Berlin / Tonights radio/ feeling

Been away for pretty much six weeks , lots of stuff. Berlin which was hot in the first das gaff.

hot in berlin

Highlights of which included hanging out with these wacky  atompunk sound artists.

And watching Prince Kong kissing babies.(pics to follow)

Within ten minutes of walking into said second gaff(above) , I found a Cd  of this Seeed Berlin anthem(below) which I’d lost a while ago and been looking for.Which correctly boded well for our stay there. Highlights of this stay included getting into Berghain on this visit (didn’t dig my beard, hat and dark glasses last time, the squares) and watching Richie !Kaboogie convert to HiNRG disco( no pics ’cause they’re banned in Berghain for that very reason) and tile graff artist Dj Tile cutters  exploits, in which he repeatedly failed to get into any clubs(’cept one in the end).

In other news, with me on the radio show at 10.30 tonight and streaming here  is ( ex renowned D&B dj and now renowned Grime Dj)   Dj Bpm, an Irish Dj based in London. She blew up the K club(next -Lorn) on Thursday and did this great mix for us a while ago.

Also expect some of the tunes from this mix which is blowing my mind as I write.

Also I meant to blog this ages ago(but was on me hols), but if you haven’t heard Dj Gaz le Rock’s punk and garage show on 2xfm you’re missing out on some of the best radio RTE have put out in ages.

 Finally here’s the third installment in the ‘Wallets Full of Blood’ - Irish economic crash zombie movie series - ‘Roscommon Death Trip’ ’The injustice of time - rendered obsolete.’Rain falls on the snow. The Contagion has taken hold. Ghosts from the old Dead Republic are emerging everywhere as the day of judgement approaches.On Black Tuesday a guilt ridden political functionary runs from his job burying bodies in the city. He is tortured by voices of reproach as he journeys towards home. He recounts the history of his dealings with Fingers - a boss ‘who made the old boss look like Mother Teresa’.Meanwhile, back in the city, amid the spiraling negativity, Fingers and his acolytes lay the foundations for a new Easter Rising.

Harry the ‘Hipster’ Gibson- Who put the Benzedrine in Mrs Murphy’s Ovaltine?

Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary.

More zombie banker madness.

This time- The  auditor tells the tale. He’s hiding out in one of the few sanctuaries which remain, he spills the beans on the inhuman practices which led to the collapse, how- Scientists, troops and more auditors arrive from abroad to investigate the total collapse of a small Republic.

They’re looking for ‘Fingers’. His actions had hastened the spiral of the country into a bottomless liquidity trap. They want to interrogate him.

Ireland - Zombie Nation( an instant film response to the headless chickens coming home)

Zombie

A company that remains in business even though it is technically bankrupt and almost surely headed for the graveyard. -Finance dictionary

If you think it’s bad now,  wait until all the undead houses around villages in Ireland  descend on the cities screaming ‘Brains!’

Here’s a new film (finished last night) by Eamonn Crudden on the spectres of gombeenism.

Large screen here.

Tagline-Zombies roam a republic of the undead.

In this schlock-horror commentary on the collapse of the Irish economy, the inhabitants of a rural hinterland begin to feel the weight of the dead hand of the housing market.

Set in the notorious ghost estates of post ‘tiger’ Ireland, the film features Dennis Hopper as the voice of Brian (Brains) Ahern.

‘Brains’ is the overseer of a particularly gory property price collapse on ‘Fiddler’s Green’. He reckons he can clean up as a result of creeping zombification but his plans take on a zero-sum logic of their own.

To save himself from the killing floor that results, Brains attempts to turn his minions against each other but finds to his horror that control of the vicious cycle of blood and price drops has slipped from his greedy, grasping fingers.

Ireland's own

Here are some quality Irish tunes from 2Bit and Automatic Tasty. 2Bit’s ‘Ifer’ is available  for free download here.

Automatic Tasty has an album out on Acroplane here. The tune below ‘Little blue car’ is driving me mad ’cause its melody reminds me of a tv theme tune(a book voucher for anybody who indentifies it, I gave up after a couple of hours, not spectrum enough I suppose).

Automatic -Tasty Little Blue Car

In other Irish news,  from the Clare People - “Lisdoonvarna double act Drugzilla are Clare People Interactive’s Clare Artist’s of the year…(they)bring underground to a whole new level and have won a massive international following for their experimental hardcore songs about drinking cider and Buckfast.” Hope to have them at our new run of gigs(more on these soon) in McGruders in April.

Drugzilla - On a Mission from a Hippie in a Van

Also a good mix of funky (newish UK house/bass variant) below from Colz. What I like about the mix is that is forefronts the riddim-ness(in the dancehall sense) of funky. It also includes by far my fav funky tune so far, Hard house Banton’s “sirens”.

Dj Colz New year funky mix

Tracklist

1 Bakongo - Uncle Bakongo
2 Sirens - Hard House Banton
3 Gabryelle Refix - D Malice
4 I Wish - X5 featuring Teresa
5 Makonde - Uncle Bakongo
6 Feeline - Roska
7 The Print - Fingerprint
8 Dub Boy - Funky Underground
9 Turbulence - Jalla
10 Inflation - Crazy Cousinz
11 Quicktime - DJ Naughty
12 Changes - DJ Mystery
13 Green Light - Footsteps
14 Baga - Uncle Bakongo
15 Big Life - Colz

While I’m posting UK vids, here’s the low slung and menacing ‘Da Hardest’ from Giggs. Who made some of the best grime of last year.

Linked below(it messes up this page if I put it here) a paranoid AI themed video from Eamon Crudden who I used to make films with. I saw it at the opening of the Irish museum of contemporary art last Friday. Other good live content was smSage a surveillance camera that speaks when you text it- ’sex sex sex i see you i see you i see you sex sex sex fun’ it’s creators Tim and Ralph agree it would be fun while smoking fags outside a nightclub so I’ll try and organise that soon, maybe at the Bug and Warrior Queen next week. Also a performance by modular synth improv act Push,move,click was good craic, though not as much fun as Ken Grizzle’s speech. An inspiring rant against western tonality and the complexity of musical instruments saying how they should be as immediate as a marimba and playable by your granny- my fist was in air. They went on generate tones from a set up that probably cost about twenty grand and looked like an aircraft control room. Run grannies run!

Thinking about complicity and “more bigger snacks now!” etc. I remembered this animation, seen as a teenager on late night Channel 4, when they used to show a lot of animation from around the world as opposed to plastic surgery and diets . I googled my memory of it(see earlier post on Google and memory), which was that it was a Dostoevsky story and painted on glass , and hey presto here it is -

While feeling animation; dark but light - the work of David Firth - here’s a link to the brilliant Salad fingers. Great sound design as well.

If you don’t know him Check him out, really.

And Ryan by Chris Landreth. A technically amazing film about a down and out animator. Brings to mind the talented ravers I knew who didn’t find a better life through chemistry.

3Ahd Lil (The Night Horse)

Posted by homoludo on Feb 02 2008 Posted by homoludo on February 2nd, 2008 filed in africa, maroc, video
1 Comment »

Here’s the video for 3Ahd Lil’s (who featured prominently in last weeks Marrocco show) tune mas3oud. Below it are the translated lyrics - Deadpan, hard-hitting, dealing with poverty, rape and terrorism and managing to be funny, very sad while ringing truthfully.

 

In a village around Ifrane, an old man passed on his mule. Attracted by the cries of child, he discovered in the bushes a new-born baby, turned blue by the cold. Its cries frightened the mule, which bucked. With its leg, it crushed the leg of the baby. Thus commences the history of Messaoud the cursed, the man never left alone by misfortune. The days passed, and Messaoud grows up in the hut of the old man and his wife, seldom eating with his hunger. The catastrophes followed one another, until a day of tragedy. Messaoud was only five years old. It was a Monday of festival, and he had awaked very content. Wanting to play with a firecracker, he set fire to the blankets. The two old ones died in the fire!

(Refrain) Why does life go after Messaoud? Why are all the doors closed to him? Why is he marked so much by misfortune? Why him?

Messaoud lands in an orphanage in Meknès. During 5 years, he was hit in the mouth by all those who passed. His face preserved the traces of them. The school? He understood nothing at all there. Until the day when he had enough and ran off. That evening he slept alone in the cold of a waste ground. Ali Boulahya [a bearded man] passed by there. He lured Messaoud behind the dump and hmm… to the hilt!

(Refrain)

Messaoud lived as a tramp until his sixteenth year. The age of the dreams, even if he had a squint and his nose was bent. Complexed with excess, he saw, one day, a fair one hanging laundry on a balcony. She made him a sign and smiled. The poor one lost his means. Each day, he returned to watch for her under the window. One morning, she finally came down. Having an errand to run, she gave him appointment at 9. Messaoud remained to await it, trembling of excitation. At the appointed time, he had hardly time to see her crossing when she was crushed by a bus which passed!

(Refrain)

Messaoud, destroyed, sank in smoking [hashish] and sniffing [glue]. One day, an Islamist saw him, and led him to a rich person’s mosque. He gave him food to eat, taught him to beg/pray and to express himself. Messaoud, proud of his new function, started to direct people. He made the turn of the mosques, rounded up young people and made a little money. Came the day when he was called for the jihad. He took the plane, very glad to meet Bin Laden. Arrived at the camp, someone give him a weapon and another says to him: “Don’t move any more from here, fire on all that moves, your place in paradise is guaranteed.” Messaoud stays on the spot two days. In one moment of carelessness, zdaou! An American gave him a blow on the head. On waking, he was found himself in cell, with a Pakistani, who smiled to him oddly. Messaoud howled of spite: it was another Ali Boulahya!

(Refrain)

Messaoud spent a difficult year, with Ali Boulahya. Misfortune pursued him as the Americans returned him to Morocco. On returning to the country, unemployed and without shelter, he came very close to madness. It was there that he met Mhammed the violonist. With him, he made a match and reaped some denefits. Mhammed entrusted to him that he had a plan “to burn” [herraga, slang for emigrate] to Spain. Messaoud was very glad with the idea to flee this cursed country. Arrived at the border with Ceuta, they slipped into a fish truck. Mhammed drew some [?], Messaoud died refrigerated.
Why Messaoud did he die? Why does misfortune stick to him so much? Why him?

to the bracing -’Fatah Guerrilla, Return of Black September, Hebron Massacre, Vote Hezbollah, United States of Islam and The Rape of Palestine’

The pictures below are links to a couple of videos by The Horrors. The first ‘Sheena is a Parasite’ is one I slept on- video by Chris Cunningham and the second ‘She is the New Thing’ -video by Corin Hardy is also very good(like something drawn by Dave McKean). Both the music and the video’s appeal to my inner goth child and chime with my slight but growing obsession with Bridget Riley(sixties op artist). I’m planning a garage rock temple to her for next summer.

While on the subject of garage rock songs that begin with ’she’, here’s the best one.

Dj Blaqstar ‘Shake it to the Ground’ remixes are excellent also.

It’s kind of a Juke track, which is a dance craze coming out of but not confined to Chicago.

Click on the pics to see the vids.

The tune this links to ain’t half bad either.

It’s seem to be that they’re gettin’ into ravin’. The style is not that unlike the dancin’ in Prodigy videos or when one was on one ‘back in the day’. You know those moments when you go up a gear and start dancing to the 16ths, 32’s etc? Only obviously better ’cause they’re American.
