Given my recent trip to Oz, I’ve developed a fear of the Drop Bear.
What with all of the locals over there warning me about them, I spent large amounts of time lying in the gutters of Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney outside bars and hostelries, looking up into the trees to try and spot the little critters before they savaged me.
Wow, I’m on time with a Three on a Thursday, despite dragging myself in from beers in my rather sunny garden. How lucky are you lot?
Though this blog sometimes seems to fixate upon the biggest and bounciest of Ghetto breaks and hip-hop, there is a softer, gentler, more cuddly side to your humble blogger, and the new Jesse Futerman EP is definitely appealing to it.
Another swing, another miss … apologies for the tardiness, it was my little girl’s 1st birthday yesterday (Happy Birthday Charlotte!) so I was utterly exhausted after chasing around a room full of ~1 years olds.
Meh, enough with the excuses, on with the music.
Evenin’
It’s that time of the week again …
As you might expect, a load of the tracks that I’ve heard this week have been in some way ‘commemorating’ the untimely death of Adam Yauch, aka MCA from the Beastie Boys. Most, to be honest, are weak as fuck bandwagon jumping horseshit, and the people who made ’em should have a bit more respect.
Seriously, absolutely nothing I’ve heard on this tip is much cop at all, so I’m not recommending it.
Right, rant over. On to the tunes.
Wow, second week back after my brief hiatus and I”ve dropped the ball already!
I’ll blame a teething one year old for waking me up so often this week, I was losing track of what day it was …
Meh, one day late, the tunes still bump.
Normal Service has been resumed!
Sorry about the lack of Three on a Thursdays recently, but due to extreme laptop death I’ve been somewhat out of the loop.
Two things this little incident has taught me
1) If you’re a digital DJ, and don’t back your tunes and settings up, you’re a dick. Either get an external hardrive, or back your stuff up to the cloud. I used zovo and it was seamless, an is dirt cheap for the piece of mind it gives me.
b) Never ever bloody anything Asus, ever!
Right, never mind all that – on to the tunes!
Ahoy – apologies for the unannounced outage, but my hard drive collapsed into a steaming heap after Asus decided up update some of their software and utterly ruin the file structure on my laptop. Basically that meant that I couldn’t even start the damn machine up, or if it did get to the logon screen, the mouse wouldn’t move.
One total OS reinstall and complete system rebuild later, I’m back up and going (well, almost). I’m a bit of a nerd, so I was backed up to the hind teeth – I highly recommend zovo for this, up to half a terabyte of storage for free with the right signup coupon, and it’s done the job brilliantly.
Three on a Thursday, the Ctrl:Alt:TheBeat show and a massive backlog of reviews with soon be unleashed.
I’m BACK baby!
Evening guys … it’s that time of the week again!
This time we’ve got some wonky electronica, a quality soul cover and some hiphop (of course …)
Cheers for those of you who made it down to Big Chill Bar on Friday night, it was a thoroughly up for it crowd. If you like that sort of thing, check the Gigs link above.
Righty-ho, lets get down to business.
Ahoy all – it’s Three on a Thursday again!
I warn you now, I’ve spent the last few hours in the park, with a bottle of fizz, enjoying the weather. This may or may not have influenced my selection this evening.
If you like what you hear, and fancy experiencing the full horror live, I’m playing Bill Chill Bristol tomorrow night from 11pm. Pop down and join in, eh?
Anyway – ONWARDS!
