RIP Guru (1966 – 2010)

Just as we’re doing the Goodnight Kiwi thing, news is coming through that Guru from Gang Starr has apparently passed away.

No confirmation yet at NME, Pitchforkmedia or other major news sites…

… but we wake up the next day and, unfortunately, it is now confirmed.

Easter Treats

Herzog Yuck

Here’s something we wanted to play on last week’s show but ran out of time.

No chance to play it this week as we’re taking an Easter break.

No chance of playing it the week after either – it will be almost a month since the release date which places it firmly in the internet equivalent of the sale bin.

These are fast and shallow times we live in.

It’s a split 7″ single out on Transparent Records. You can responsibly download both sides using the links below.

YUCK – Georgia
