A New Summer Mix - This One’s A Bit of A Banger

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 somewhere else, just to be on the safe side. I’d hate my blog to get […]

Chaos on My Desk

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 was very firmly stuck fast:

Then I had to clean up. Which wasn’t easy. Sugary coffee forms […]

I’m Doing Christmas and It’s Doing Me In

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 two of them at the moment and thinking that it might be time to do a ‘7 […]

Orange Unlit Tour - Welcome Hedluv

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 to be ‘made by everyone’. From the people who open up their houses to act […]

YouTube and Music

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 I tried to find the track.
But instead of heading for the laptop I picked up […]

Massive Water Projections Are Cool

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, but in case you haven’t:

Fleshmap - Body Parts in Music

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 bit is that there’s a great feature where you can create a Rebus by copying and pasting […]

Musical Madness - Kidda - Under The Sun Remix

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 / soul, meets happy hardcore, meets electro-house, whatever it’s just totally out there. I’m sure if […]

An Amazing Animated Gif Video

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 called “Coconut”.

Bomb the Bass Butterfingers Video

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.
