Flying Lotus – Zodiac Shit & Do the Astral Plane

Flying Lotus is Steven Ellison. He’s currently signed with Warp records;  that alone will summarise what you can expect from his stuff.  If you can put a bit of space electro, hip hop and jazz into a blender and turn it into a consumable for your ears, this is what you’ll get as a result. HisContinue reading “Flying Lotus – Zodiac Shit & Do the Astral Plane”

Best Coast Boyfriend

This song’s getting a few rotations on Triple J and featured on a lot of music blogs. And there’s a good reason for that: it’s mighty catchy and dreampoppy, reminiscent of a less noisy 80s shoegazer thing combined with a drop of the Cardigans. Combine and picture the following words: teenage yearning, lazy summer, weedContinue reading “Best Coast Boyfriend”

Fatboy Slim – Sunset (Bird of Prey)

This song really flew under the radar. Forget Praise You, Right Here Right Now & Weapon of Choice. Actually, maybe not, but this one is quite the gem by Fat Boy Slim. The video starts off a little bit slowly, so if you’re feeling a bit impatient, skip ahead a minute. I like muttering thisContinue reading “Fatboy Slim – Sunset (Bird of Prey)”

The Doctor Who Tom Baker Intro

Had a massive nostalgia trip. Even though the ‘Tom Baker’ years technically occurred outside of my existence, they were the only ones I watched during my upbringing. The intro is so iconic and synonymous with the science fiction genre. Doctor Who > Star Trek. When developing the Tom Baker Doctor character, he was described asContinue reading “The Doctor Who Tom Baker Intro”

LCD Soundsystem – I can change

So James Murphy, aka LCD Soundsystem, said that he will be stopping at their current album ‘Sound of Silver’. They were showing a lot of promise; pulling the plug a bit too early? Something old, and something new.

Pendulum’s ABC News Remix vs Bill Bailey’s BBC News Rave

My admiration for Perth drum and bass boys Pendulum shot through the roof. This was played as a bit of a gag and promo for Pendulum on Triple J radio: a dance remix of our beloved ABC News opening theme music. I knew something good had to come out of listening to the radio whilstContinue reading “Pendulum’s ABC News Remix vs Bill Bailey’s BBC News Rave”

Board of Canada’s ‘Mickey’ hidden track

Boards of Canada sampled the beginning chorus of the famous ‘Oh Mickey’ song by Toni Basil and distorted it into their own electro version. It came as a hidden track after the actual 60-90 seconds of ‘Iraq says’: [audio:http://www.plasmoandtheinfinitesadness.com/wp-content/uploads/18-Iraq-Says.mp3|titles=18 – Iraq Says] Boards of Canada – Iraq Says

Bill Murray be chill y’all

A few weeks ago I tweeted about a chillwave band (I’m still uncomfortable with using this term, but since it’s the only term most people can relate to to describe the genre of music…) under the alias, Chill Murray. I heard about them on triple j when they were talking about their SXSW experience, butContinue reading “Bill Murray be chill y’all”
