If like me, you obsess over new music and spend a good 90% of all internet time reading music forums, webzines, review sites you tend to pick up on things from your past that you push to one side only to be reminded of the great times you had watching bands, seeing certain people, etc.
I recently stubled across this blogsite, paying particular attention to the biography of the band Wreck of the Old 98. I used to fumble around in an Emo/Hardcore band a few years ago and we recorded a split 7" these guys. I remember both styles of music being from different ends of the musical scale but the similarities were there too...both bands avid supporters of local DIY music scenes, shared the same friends, often played the same shows together, happily drank together discussing each others gigs and bands we'd both seen.

DONE DONE DONE
Exams are out the way finally, so i'm going to get on with some stuff...I recently stole Virtual DJ 5 from my younger brother - i've decided i'm going to try and run the outputs from Ableton in the 2 decks on Virtual DJ so I can use the DJM600 style samplers within the software. Something that Ableton lacks is on the fly sampling without ruining the flow of audio...anyways, enough geeking, couple of great video's that i've enjoyed watching lately.
This song helped pull me through some exam stress last week, really uplifting and great fun...there's something about the leftfield hip-hopisms of the Anticon movement that i love. It shares so much with stuff i've been listening to lately and it's great seeing a band like Why? really pushing things forward and trying to hit the big time with quirky-poppy-indie-rock-hop tunes...

This is a somewhat pointless video to a great song on a great record which caught me off guard. I remember being hopelessly in love with this band 5 years ago or so, then they turned shit but now they've taken yet another U-turn and are trying to re-invent themselves as a Sigor Ros-cum-Envy type post-rock-hardcore erm, thing. I'm still not sold on the idea but this video is a great great piece of work and i do actually like this song.
