54:24 mixed live by naz in the Den Sat 18th 2010 with Traktor Pro
Liked this one. never heard the Villalobos track, I like his stripped down approach. Of course some killer trascks from Empire, MGMT, Portishead (would love to hear someone use the Hendrix song of the same name in edit form to fit this track). And ending it with that poor girl that used to have a killer Motown voice before drugs. Good stuff!
Marvelous mix. Maybe its ironic or not, but some of these groups/songs are the music videos that me and the family chill to on video night at our house. There is so much to love here. That TV on the Radio track is a mind blower. Season’s Greeting, Naz. Thanks for all you do. Peace.
thanks. same MO as last year, xmassy sounding songs that aren’t actually about xmas. Merry 10th xmas b00mb0x!
Briscoe: re Amy, her self loathing is thick in the lyrics of that album and drugs, Blake/a broken heart, amazing production and an amazing voice all syngerise there – having said that Frank ain’t a bad album and she had some weight on that and looked healthy – and I think she was not on the drugs at the time. I do think she’s falling into the Shane MacGowan walking dead genius category, which is a shame and a terrible loss that’s repeated over and over again. Their addictions are intrinsically interwoven with their art.
One of our standup comedians, Frankie Boyle, whose famous for his dark dark humour said she looked like an advert for abused horses or something similar. I hope she gets a third album out that blows us away, she’s made soul popular as a form of pop music again which is just fantastic to me as a fan of pop music.
…About, Amy. I’m in the school of thought that you can never separate the Genius from the Individual, it is what it is. Not one without the other. Peace.
I agree, I hope she will put out another album that is the same caliber, I just have doubts because I believe the wreck of her body has been the wreck of her voice. Sucks too, since no one else has captured that soul feel quite as strong as she did on the Black album. 6 degrees of separation, Mark Ronson did a great job on that album and his Version, but his latest (with the exception of Bang Bang Bang) is not repeat listening.
Fuck it, the fall still manage brilliant albums and that guy is three sheets to the wind for coming on 30 years. I wish I hadn’t put a one band mix restriction sometimes, a fall comp would be rockin’
Hit the North! Sorry, that’s all I know of them, and I first heard it referenced by KLF and PWEI. I usually work backwards on the samples. As for comebacks, I’m still waiting for Inner City.
the fall, where to start. there’s an a sides album from the 90s. i got into through seminal fall live (dead beat descendant). i would describe them as a true brit punk sonic youth, with it’s only constant member a barely coherent prophet. there’s literally an album a year since they were part of the punk movement in the late 70s, and some really freaky outthere stuff. Seen them live in a club twice, awesome and once at a tent at a festival, really terrible. My girlfriend despises them!
merry chrimbo naz
do that fall mix
Do a mix that’s called “Naz is like…”, and start it with “Nas is like(half man half amazing)” by Nas. Where you go from there I don’t know, but would be fun.
iv done that trick at the end of a mix, the last feelgood one, but its a wicked idea
