A lovely piece of 90s alternative rock here from Yo La Tengo, a band whose extensive back catalogue I’ve always meant to investigate further.
Perhaps it’s time to do just that…

I want this jacket
Found via the rather wicked People of Walmart that I would recommend giving a casual glance when you have a sec.
This guy in the picture seems to do a fine line in terrible cover versions (stick with it until 1:43), even more awesome artwork and a very dubious German impression
Reckon this would work for me?
Now that's what I'm talking about!

Back into jungle mode with this one. Mastermind AKA Just Jungle AKA Genotype on the melodic tip with Blacknotes, a wicked tune that came out on Renegade Recordings back in 1996.
A totally infectious little melody in this track and awesome use of the Kurtis Blow – Do The Do break, one of my favs. I love this style of jungle and could listen to mixes of mid 90s melodic tunes for hours on end. That reminds me that I need to do another mix (or three) and this one has to go on there!

My old buddy ECT sent me the link to an track we made years back in my studio (when I had one). I don’t think it’s gonna win any awards or anything and I don’t remember the intro being that dull (!) but it brings back some good memories for me and I thought I’d share.
Sadly, gone are the days of sitting in boiling hot rooms surrounded by racks of archaic outboard samplers and effects units. They were fun times and over the years I made what seemed like hundreds of tunes that never even made it close to vinyl. This is one of them…

I’m a sucker for some hip hop with a nice beat and a bit of singing in the chorus like this. It’s hardly the best tune Nas ever did, if you’ve been living under a rock and never heard Illmatic then I strongly suggest you go check it out, but it’s a welcome addition to the soundtrack of the day.
It’s also got some great falling action at around the 1 min mark.
