The show: RIP MCA (1964 – 2012)

Rest in peace Adam Yauch, you crazy motherflipper.

Your voice had more gravel than a quarry, I’m sure your tongue must have been made of sandpaper, you made some crazy albums, and not forgetting that you, Mike D and Adrock gave our show its name. So thank you for the good times…

The show: Crazy diamonds

In lieu of having to write anything of substance, here are two lovely new videos to distract you from our writing impotence…

First up, the new Fistful of Gems‘ video “Diamond” by ex-Tiger Tones member Mark Wundercastle.

Second up, Flat Eric & William Fichtner play chess while promoting the new Mr Oizo free EP “Stade 3”.

The show: Huh?

Huh? That’s right. Spiritualized are back with their new album “Sweet Heart Sweet Light”. It’s like Jason Pierce disappears for years at a time but has an impeccable knack of always picking up where he left off. And he does good epics, like “Hey Jane”…

The show: Some might call it lazy DJing…

…but Fraserhead prefers to think of it as giving the music some room and letting it breathe. WTF? That’s right, The Herb Whisperer is away today so Fraserhead is flying solo. Expect sparse voice breaks, minimal mixing, lots of triple plays, and maybe some Kenny Loggins.

Huge thanks to regular listener Greg Dodds for tipping us off about TRAAMS. Could happily leave this on repeat for the w-h-o-l-e show. But won’t. Have a listen below though…

PS: Wouldn’t “Kenny Login” be a fantastic DJ name especially if they specialised in 8-Bit Punk? UPDATE: Damn. Someone thought of it already.
