apologies to all (especially ken) for missing yesterday's post. got much sidetracked over the weekend.
gonna post two tunes today to make up for it.

first up is junior boys (playing dublin, march 14th). much thanks to covert for turning me onto this album. i've had it on and off for the past two weeks with some tunes off the album, Begone Dull Care*, grabbing more attention than others but overall a really interesting and enjoyable album to listen to.

Download 07 The Animator

dunno why i hadn't posted this next tune before. nialler9 he talked about jaydiohead back in january, describing the album as "2009s first worthy mashup album" and great stuff it is with 'wrong prayer' being such a big tune. jay-z is just a powerful rapper. pure poet skills.
get the album here.

Download 02 99 Anthems

*Begone Dull Care is also a movie made in 1949 which has a plot , as described by imdb as being 'Abstract images drawn directly onto the film are accompanied by three pieces of jazz performed by the Oscar Peterson trio.' posting the whole thing here as its great and this then counts as a design/art post aswell as i'm due one.one the best depiction of music i've seen and its drawn like an animation. brilliant.

every song i've posted here has some special meaning. some just more so than others.
i've never written a song and don't know if i ever will. even if i did i don't think i'd find the words to be able to describe the way i feel. its nice to be able to leave it up to others though and sometimes, not often, but sometimes, someone comes along and does it nicely for you...

thanks to chris flew for sharing this.
its something else.

the last two nights I've been sitting up with my mate JC, enjoying some fine booze and both nights we stumbled across this song by Herbie Hancock featuring Corinne Bailey Rae. Both times I've just been blown away by the simplistic beauty of it all.

slime & reason

big excitement in the cubik household as we await the upcoming album, slime & reason, from the man himself roots manuva who is one of my favourite artists from England with lashings of bass and top rhymes.

if you're in London this weekend you can check our Roots Manuva and Sway playing at the iTunes Live festival. You can enter a competition to win tickets here.
