John Peel RIP

I was too shocked to post yesterday when I heard, there is a huge hole in my musical background now, And a huge hole in my radio listening schedule. there is no replacement. the sheer volume of things that i would never have heard if it werent for john's nightly two hour show. there is nothing quite like it. during those 2 hours you would hear 1920's jazz shoehorned in with hardcore & techno, experimental electronica, rock, punk and extreme metal. there will be noone else with the musical vision in the position that john held. radio one has lost its biggest asset.

Film school dropout

N.Lannon - Nature Of Things

San francisco's nyles lannon used to (or still does, im not sure of that one. maybe you people can help) play guitar in local psych indie rockers Film School i came across his solo project as n.ln a year ago or so. he manages to create a beatiful hybrid of electronica and folky indiepop that, to me is pure sonic delerium.

he has recently released a new album "Chemical friends" on badman records where nature of things is taken from.

a quick look through his biog suggest influences from the folky (simon&garfunkel) the psychedelic (pink Floyd) and early electropop (Numan et al) as well as newer electronica such as the wonderful boards of canada and fenezs.

anyway, i dont think there is much more i can say that his music cant say for itself. so go to www.nlannon.com and find out.

Thrift store superstars

The Bran Flakes - The Magical Fairy Princess

Seattles the bran flakes come across (to these ears anyway) as the missing link between Lemon jelly & The Avalanches. Thrift store cheap beats and grooves, old comercials, and instructional audio simmering in a magical sampledelic stew. I really, really, really like this and i think you will too.

go to their website at www.thebranflakes.com where you can find loads more audio and info about these musical freaks of nature.
