Chris Carter - 'This Train' & 'While Waiting'

   
This track was recorded on a bed, in my hotel room, while on a trip to Leicester to perform at the first Dirty-Carter event. It's just me improvising using some of the gear and some sounds I would later use for the Dirty-Carter performance. The voice and ambience is from a nearby train station and was recorded out of the hotel window and played back on my iPhone. The inclusion of the Tannoy station announcements was partly inspired by listening to 'Music For Real Airports' on the journey to Leicester.
Equipment used:
a regular Kaossilator, a circuit-bent Kaossilator, two mini Kaoss pads, a Tom Bugs WOM micro synth, a Chimera BC8 micro synth, two Zoom PFX-9003 effects, a Boss DSD-2 sampler/delay, a Dirty-Carter E.S.G.I, an iPhone for field recording playback, portable Edirol mixer and a Zoom H2 recorder. No laptops or desktop computers were used in the recording.
   
This is the second track I recorded on a bed, in my hotel room, while on a trip to Leicester to perform at the first Dirty-Carter event. It's just me improvising using some of the gear and some sounds I would later use for the Dirty-Carter performance with some low level looping courtesy of my iPhone.

A Must Read: What Happened When I Went Undercover at a Christian Gay-to-Straight Conversion Camp

"My weekend was filled with crying, singing, and wrestling, as 30 men struggled to overcome their attraction to other men. It was also the first time I felt another man's erection."

Congrats to Shaun Micallef!
A number of years ago on Micallef Tonight there was the funniest line I have ever heard on TV 
(and there was not one laugh from the studio audience!!!)
'The castrati spoke very highly of him!'
Still makes me piss myself laughing...

Toki Wright - By The Time I Get To Arizona (2010 Reduex)

    
Toki Wright has breathed new life into Public Enemy's timeless anthem "By The Time I Get To Arizona." This new version was created in response to a bill signed into law in the state of Arizona that states “all immigrants must carry documentation verifying their immigration status." Police officers now have the authority to ask to see the information from any individual that is deemed “suspicious." Essentially, a bill that legalizes racial profiling: if you look like an immigrant, you can be hauled off to jail. Toki's scathing indictment pays due respect to the original classic, once again turning hip-hop into the true "CNN of the people."
