The show: Saturday 9 October 2010

Lots of bass heavy stuff (King Midas Sound. Magnetic Man, Ginz, Benga, Skream), lo-fi (Ringo Deathstarr, Aias), lo-key (Karlmarx, Seefeel) and much, much more. Perfect stuff for a grey rainy day.

Just in case you need something sugary sweet to lift the gloom have a peek at the new Uffie video for “Difficult”…

Hip hop loves a good feud and Nas has stirred up things with a classic email tirade against his Def Jam bosses. Reminded me of the Strange Parcels track “Disconnection” from 1991…

The show: Saturday 2 October 2010

Cool. New Disasteradio album Charisma is released 15 October 2010. Even better, you can get a free download of “Drop the Bomb” over at A Low Hum.

Here’s that Doug Stanhope clip we alluded to. For those of you who find dubstep depressing on a sunny day, then you’re probably the sort of person who might find this a bit tasteless…

On a more serious matter, here’s a very important message from James Dann aka Ed Muzik about the Christchurch local body elections:

The show: Rewind to 1995/1996??? Sort of.

Yup – sure feels like we’re back to 1995/1996 as a reference point today what with brand new stuff from Seefeel, DJ Shadow, UNKLE, and Lone doing his new ravestep styles.

Das Racist have got a very amusing new album out now. It’s called “Sit Down, man”. And it sounds like the aural equivalent of Stuff White People Like. Brilliant stuff.

For those amongst you who are suckers for soundtracks be sure to check out Zombie Zombie and their reworkings of John Carpenter film scores. Here’s Zombie Zombie performing at the 2010 Glasgow Film Festival…

The show: Spring is round the corner

Lovely new single from Tommy Ill – “Robot”. Catch Tommy Ill at Goodbye Blue  Monday on Saturday 11 September. Fingers crossed we can get him into the show for a quick chat.

Simian Mobile Disco have been busy. Their new Delicatessen & Delicacies singles series features food in the titles. The first two singles are Aspic/Nerve Salad and Cazu Marzu/Thousand Year Egg. Casu marzu (Sardinian sheep’s milk cheese riddled with insect larvae) could well be the world’s deadliest cheese.

OMG FTW?!? The Fall have been confirmed for Monday 13 December at The Powerstation in Auckland. See you there.

John Safran vs Chris Morris

SNS
Sunday Night Safran

This one almost slipped below The Joint radar. It’s the match-up we’ve all been waiting for as Australia’s answer to Chris Morris takes on John Safran’s British mentor.

By match-up I mean invites on Sunday Night Safran as a guest, and by takes on I mean cordially interviews about his film Four Lions.

The head to head starts at about the 31 minute mark.

Never quite understood the appeal of Father Bob though…
