WOW!

I have just discovered a couple of blogs both done by someone calling themself 'quantum retrocausality':

Identical Men From Parallel Universes
&
Circumambient Peripherisation

They are really something else indeed.

We obviously share an interest in some of the same subjects (Brion Gysin, On-U Sound and WSB immediately come to mind and I even have a post on Marshall McLuhan here) but believe me if these two blogs are at the top of the Premier League then mine is in the League One playoff final in comparison.

Check them out!

Bomb The Bass - Black River (featuring Mark Lanegan)

Updated information & help needed

Recently I put this album 'Russian Chants (Ambient Mix)' by Boris Feokistov & Bill Laswell up as my first post at my new(ish) blog and also put up some info that I found at 'Discogs'. However yesterday there was a comment left at the post from 'Anon':
"Info bout Feoktistov is not true. There are 2 diferent guys - one Russian folk player. Another, Russian orthodox composer and church regent Boris Feoktistov.
http://www.eipuser.ru/index.php?option=com_artistdirectory&task=singleArtist&id=2.
and this is link to original album
http://www.bogoslovy.ru/audio/feokt.htm."
So I am asking for help by someone who can speak Russian & English and who can perhaps help me out with a rough translation of the details at the above links as to be honest 'Babelfish' is not really helping.
NB: The second link will lead here and you can download what appear to be some of the original tracks from the album above before they have been remixed by Bill Laswell.

Sex theme park to open in China

"Visitors try to get a glimpse of 'Love Land', billed as China's first-ever sex theme park, in southwest China's Chongqing municipality on May 15, 2009. The sex theme park is slated to open in October, but detractors hope the project will never see the light of day, as the exhibits of naked human sculptures, giant genitals and boasts a sex technique workshop is stirring up howls of protest. "

Danger Mouse to release blank CD-R in protest

Full story at the 'BBC' here.
Of course you can do what you want with the blank CD.
I would suggest you enter the words 'Danger Mouse Dark Night Of The Soul' in to the Captain Crawl search engine to the right and take it from there.
(What doesn't make sense is that Sparklehorse are on EMI and Danger Mouse has produced records by Damon Albarn's Gorillaz and The Good, The Bad & The Queen all of whom are on yep you guessed it EMI!)

FUNK MY SOUL! Motown's top 100 tracks

If you like soul music (and to be honest if you don't then you are obviously dead!)
then if you haven't already done so please take this chance to discover this wonderful blog:
'Funk My Soul'

It has been up and running for exactly a year now and to celebrate they have given ALL of us a magnificent present.
Back in February, MOJO Magazine in the UK put together a list of the top 100 Tamla Motown songs of all time as voted by the likes of Berry Gordy Jr, Lamont Dozier, Jerry Dammers, Iggy Pop, Mavis Staples, Wayne Kramer, Alan Vega, Cee-Lo Green, Johnny Marr, Mary Wilson and well the list goes on (and on!)
As The Popster said in his introduction:
"...Motown's legacy is that it was good, tough, optimistic, American 50's and 60's craftsmanship. It was close to being the peak art-form of post-war America..."

-Iggy Pop

If you go here you can download all of the hundred songs going from Rockwell's 'Somebody's Watching Me' (featuring surreptitious backing vocals by one Michael Jackson) at number 100 to'Dancing In The Streets' by Martha and the Vandellas at pole position.

Shit, I started dancing just as the download started!
Please visit the blog and remember it is common courtesy to say 'thank-you' and maybe you could wish them a 'happy birthday' while you are there too.

LYRICS: Sex Pistols - 'EMI' (Some things never change!)

There's unlimited supply
And there is no reason why
I tell you it was all a frame
They only did it 'cos of fame
Who?

E.M.I. E.M.I. E.M.I.

Too many people had the suss
Too many people support us
Un unlimited amount
Too many outlets in and out
Who?

E.M.I E.M.I E.M.I

And sir and friends are crucified
A day they wished that we had died
We are an addition
We are ruled by none
Never ever never

And you thought that we were faking
That we were all just money making
You do not believe we're for real
Or you would lose your cheap appeal?

Don't judge a book just by the cover
Unless you cover just another
And blind acceptance is a sign
Of stupid fools who stand in line
Like

E.M.I E.M.I E.M.I

Unlimted edition
With an unlimited supply
That was the only reason
We all had to say goodbye

Unlimited supply (E.M.I)
There is no reason why (E.M.I)
I tell you it was all a frame (E.M.I)
They only did it 'cos of fame (E.M.I)
I do not need the pressure (E.M.I)
I can't stand those useless fools (E.M.I)
Unlimited supply (E.M.I)
Hello E.M.I
Goodbye A & M

Sex Pistols - 'E.M.I.'
