The show: Saturday 16 October 2010

The Herb Whisperer has done a runner so Donna aka Kebabette is hosting the show with me today. Lots of glamourous / nu-goth / post-punk numbers for your listening pleasure. Okay – I’m a liar – so there’s no post-punk but almost every thing we’re playing was made post-punk.

And here’s the playlist in full…

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…

Benga “Baltimore Clap”

Damn. Can’t believe I missed this first time round.

I gave the Benga album “Phaze One” a thrashing for a few weeks when it got released (June?) then clean forgot about it.

Didn’t realise there was a freaky video for “Baltimore Clap”. Exhilarating, captivating and depressing all at the same time!

The show: Saturday 2 October 2010 – “Post Dubstep” addendum

I now feel comfortable having used the term “Post Dubstep” on yesterday’s show, so I’m retracting the offer to give me a good kicking the next time you see me. The comfort comes from having Paul Morley uttering the same phrase in the introduction to his latest edition of Showing Off.

Within the many multi-media elements that make up this particular episode, which is dedicated to Dubstep, there is an extended interview with Joint favourite Jah Wobble where links are made between brie cheese and Miles Davis.

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:
