A New Summer Mix – This One’s A Bit of A Banger
by Iain on August 29, 2008
I’m going to stop putting my music mixes directly on Crackunit. For a few reasons. Paranoia being one. DJ mixes have always been a grey area in terms of licensing, etc. So I’m just going to tidy them over to (…)
Chaos on My Desk
by Iain on August 28, 2008
I got in this morning and the cleaners had spilled some coffee/glue hybrid on my desk. It had gone all the way under a box file that I use to keep all my USB gadgets out of the way: It (…)
I’m Doing Christmas and It’s Doing Me In
by Iain on August 27, 2008
The Christmas briefs are in… Aaaaaargh… People moaning about Christmas decorations in the shops in October can shut right up. I’m going to be fed up with the whole thing before Argos even puts Slade on rotation. I’m working on (…)
Orange Unlit Tour – Welcome Hedluv
by Iain on August 26, 2008
We’re putting on a tour with Orange. It’s part of the whole ‘I am’ thing. The Unlit Tour is about an artist going on the road and creating his own ‘I am’ story as he goes. The tour is going (…)
YouTube and Music
by Iain on August 25, 2008
An odd thing happened to me on Saturday night. I was playing some music through the stereo via my laptop. Sophie started humming a tune that she wanted to hear and I thought I could recognise what it was. So (…)
Massive Water Projections Are Cool
by Iain on August 24, 2008
I like them a lot. I’m still a sucker for this kind of thing. The first one’s from Tokyo to promote the launch of Waterhorse: Legend of the Deep And I’m sure lots of you will already have seen this, (…)
Fleshmap – Body Parts in Music
by Iain on August 24, 2008
This site’s got some brilliant visualisations of how often various body parts are mentioned in different genres of music. Once you’re there you can drill down into the various genres and see what’s occurring. Which is nice. But the best (…)
Musical Madness – Kidda – Under The Sun Remix
by Iain on August 23, 2008
Sorry, I know it’s been a few musicy posts in a row. But I had to share this. It’s perhaps the most bonkers track I’ve heard recently. It’s hard to describe its genre, it’s basically like speeded up funk / (…)
An Amazing Animated Gif Video
by Iain on August 22, 2008
Absolutely incredible – also from http://www.perishfactory.com/. It’s just one long scrolling scene made up of thousands of animated gifs. I quite like the song too, it’s jolly. Whoops, almost forgot the track is by The Sea and Cake and it’s (…)
Bomb the Bass Butterfingers Video
by Iain on August 22, 2008
I love this completely and utterly. The track is amazing and the video is wonderfully simple… It’s Butterfingers by Bomb the Bass (featuring Fujiya & Miyagi). There’s a high quality quicktime version here with much better audio. Obligatory buttons:
