Sievert - Chips, Dips and Facerips
8BP113

With the galaxy safe once more, our hero Space Captain Sievert returns home. After landing his ship on the small island known as Earth, he shows the people the things he has discovered and peace is restored again. Even if only for a brief time, our hero is happy to take a well needed rest from defending the galaxy. In his third album, Sievert gets back to his punk-ska roots to celebrate all of the things he loves: good times, good friends, beer, dogs, cartoons, pizza, chips, dips, and face-rips.

Psilodump - Metronomnomnom
8BP114

Hooray, the new year is tolerably new! Pianist and weatherman John Pohlman retires to play spiffy piano jazz and unremittingly listen to Psilodump during his long-awaited vacation, tuned in with his venerable portable travel radio. After 30 years, Pacman finally finds a qualified metronome to aid him in his training…

The best new track tonight was 'DQMOT' by People Under The Stairs. Every album they release is full of gems and I really had a tough time picking one to play tonight. Amazing hip hop, just pure fun and wicked rapping!

The sharp-eyed Groinker might notice a bit more retro electro than I normally play. This is because I was still buzzing from watching the BBC's 'Synth Britannia.' So, there is no one best old tune tonight - it's every song that made my teenage electropop years fantastic. Thank you, synth kids. :-)

This is what you heard:

J. Scrilla & Royalty - Wut Up
Apollo 18 - End
Benny Page & Zero G - pan pipes
In Defence - Don't Call Me A Moshist
Alphabetix - Bounce
The Elephants - Take it!
Mesmer - Some Disney Scene
Kool Shen - Salope.Com
Rustie - Bad Science
The Orphan, The Poet - Archetype
Spearmint - sweeping the nation
Bound By Honor - Word Play
Black Flag - 08-police story

The best new song tonight was 'Straight Edge Hangover' by the chaps above, In Defence. A lovely dollop of new (but old-skool-sounding) sXe hardcore, it slotted in nicely towards the end of my set when I had a need for some straight-edge shoutiness. Probably because I've been getting so much shit for choosing to be edge lately. *sigh*

In Defence are on tour at the mo, go and catch them as they sound like they'd be great fun live. :-)

And on more of a true old-skool emo tip, The Promise Ring's sunny 'Skips A Beat Over You' was tonight's best old track. For you modern, fringe-flinging emo kids, check out some emo from the days before autotune and shit drum machine programming...

This is what I played:

Woolfy - That Lady
Little Red - It's Alright
Bound By Honor - Word Play
Strawberry Fair - I Can't Do Anything
Apollo 18 - End

Russian Circles

The best new track tonight was Russian Circles' 'Harper Lewis.' I don't normally go for lengthy, instrumental rock but, blimey, is their new album good. 'Harper Lewis' moves from dreamy, swooshy bits to lovely, heavy riffery. Excellent!

http://www.bzangygroink.co.uk/images/2008/julie08.jpg
The gorgeous Ms. London

The best old track was, of course, Julie London's sublime 'You'd Be So Nice To Come Home To.' What a voice and set in a stunning arrangement that frames it perfectly.

Basement Khemists - Correct Technique
Evangelicals - Midnight Vignette
Cardopusher - Everything Is A New Surprise
Stephen Malkmus - The Hook
Reks - Say Goodnight
