The Perfumed Garden: Brian Eno & The Winkies - 5th March 1974
I had no idea Eno did a Peel Session, but here it is!
-
YouTube - Radiohead - Creep (1st time on tv?) 1993
Even earlier, on Gary Crowley’s ‘The Beat’. Odd sound mix makes it sound like he’s alone in his bedroom screaming along to an underpowered stereo. Fab.
-
YouTube - Radiohead - Creep Live 94
I’m such an indie kid, but this was great stuff. Shivers down my spine. (via Kottke)

Office Naps: Fresh 45 rpm curios every Monday
Very much enjoying all these 1960s singles (the most recent post is a bit unexciting, but others are fab). And the images look great in iTunes’ Cover Flow view.
-
The Perfumed Garden
I’ve been very much enjoying this weblog that posts Peel Session MP3s (there’s a long list in the sidebar under ‘Active Sessions’).

-
YouTube - Torn
Caught this performance while flipping channels the other night and liked it a lot. The Internet’s great when you can just point at bits of TV like this.

Los Campesinos! | Nothing But Green Lights: A UK mp3 blog.
Also loving ‘You! Me! Dancing!’. Fun!
-
Music: Pocketbooks: Indie-Pop | Nothing But Green Lights: A UK mp3 blog.
Loving this song. The first to feature an Oyster Card and London Underground fare boundaries? Sometimes it’s like Sarah Records never went away.
-
Potion Factory Blog » Blog Archive » Introducing Tangerine
Interesting Mac app for creating iTunes playlists organised by BPM. It’s BPM-working-out algorithm needs some tweaking though, as it’s more miss than hit for me (eg, it thinks a few slow acoustic guitar tracks are 180 BPM). (via Plasticbag)
-
UBUWEB :: Alvin Lucier
Lucier’s ‘I Am Sitting in a Room’ track, which Paul Morley goes on (and on and on) about in his ‘Words and Music’ book, as MP3. 1969 tape recording avant-garde.
-
YouTube - Battle of The Bands
Oodles of album art animated Gilliam style. Very nicely done. (via Haddock)

Mocking Music: NME C86: Side B
This makes me very happy. MP3s of all tracks on the NME’s C86 tape. I only started listening to jangly indie stuff a year or two later, so this is nearly all new to me. Twenty years, blimey.
-
YouTube - The Mountain Goats - Woke Up New
Nice video for the new, lovely, Mountain Goats single.
-
SovMusic.ru - Soviet Music
Lots of free Soviet MP3s. Hear a choir sing (apparently) ‘Capital Oppresses Us’ and other family favourites. Also, speeches and lots of Soviet posters.
-

AMK design | Last 10 tracks on your website
Simple but good PHP code for putting your Last.fm recent tracks on your site. Inspired me to rewrite all my stupidly over-engineered code for gyford.com along the same lines. (via Kottke)
-
YouTube - Broadcast Yourself - Public Videos // pajamapants
Videos and interviews with musicians, lots of Britpoppy stuff from the early 1990s including loads from Sleeper. Suddenly I feel 10+ years younger. Fab.
-
Lily Allen
Catchy, wonderful tunes. But can I buy them or legally download them? No. Chance of me being sick of them before I can pay for them? High. How silly is the music industry? Very.

BBC - Radio 3 - Mixing It - P J Harvey

-
BBC - Radio 1 - Zane Lowe - Tracklisting - Thursday 16 February 2006
Fantastic 90 minutes of break-up songs. Be a maudlin teenager all over again. 30 mins into the show, if you can find the Listen Again link. And if you can put up with the appalling Zane Lowe.
-
Intense / complex classical music | Ask MetaFilter
Handy recommendations from Arvo Part to, er, the ‘Conan the Barbarian’ soundtrack. (via ChrisDodo)

C90 Go: Number 1
Reminiscing about music taped from 1988/89’s Festive Fifities. Very familiar: I taped the same. I’m an individual like everyone else. (Found when searching for ‘Convenience’ by Bob.)
