I'm out




Free tune from Tiger Belly innit

There is so much muchness going on right now in the RTMosphere that inevitably the worlds are spilling over and merging rather wonderfully. So this week another batch of tunes from Tiger Belly, I reckon I've premiered very track over the last few weeks which means all that remains is to unleash that beastie, light the blue touch paper and set it off! That will be happening on August 29th with an official spot of going out type recognition on the following Friday at Whammy alongside turntable torturer Alphabethead and Breakin Wreck' geezer Jay Roacher, more on that next week...will be large.
But really that's only part of the story because tonight we also got to smash the bottle of slightly suspect champagne against the keel and officially wet the rudder of the upcoming Haunted Love album 'Spirit Revival'.... talk about blessed. 'San Dominico' is just one facet of a album that is so untypically RTM ...well it's typically RTM, as someone said.. Respect The Unexpected (and get ready for your respectin's on September 19th)
Loads more tonight, two songs using ESG's UFO, that always aaaaaaa-ite by me, lots of moody biz of a discerning nature and another slice of Melbournian cumbionic flavours from our muckers the Cumbia Cosmonauts. Would love to fling you a track from that but actually would far rather that you followed the link (in the playlist above) and headed off to bandcamp and showed 'em a little of your love in a monetary style & fashion.



This weeks tune is an uncovered gem from the On-U Sound back cat, up lo qual for a week only. This track is a bonus on Off The Beaten Track, one of several African Head Charge albums that could only be considered as thoroughly essential in my book. My memories of AHC are somewhat delightfully tainted by the time we got Bonjo up for, I believe it was a guest spot on Tranquility Bass, back in the days (daze?) when bFM was a considerably more liberal joint....if you know what I mean. Mr Head Charge so enjoyed the liberal joint(s) he rendered himself unable to speak. Lovely bloke but frankly, like many overseas guests before and after him, his eyes were bigger than his lungs and his Rizzlas were writing cheques his faculties couldn't cash. Bless!




GOOD THINGS - AFRICAN HEAD CHARGE




and this just in #2 in the videos running up to Tourettes Tiger Belly release.... check it

Call To Arms - Your Help Is Needed Now

Below is a list of the labels who have been affected, many of them possibly terminally, by the fire which has completely destroyed the Sony DADC warhouse in Enfield as a result of the riots in the UK. As a bloke who runs an independent record label himself, I don't really feel I have the words to describe how utterly fucking terrible this is... it's beyond words, and it's not exactly like it's been easy going for anyone trying to run an indie in recent times anyways.
The Quietus (where I pinched this list from) has an excellent article that goes deeper and has some specific positive suggestions as to what YOU can do to help. They've done it better and I'm not going to crib anymore but please - if you give the slightest damn about quality music, musicians and the people who help bring it to your ears - if you want to continue to have the chance to make a difference and allow others to .. then dig in your pockets and buy something, hell somethings from the labels below, digitally NOW.
You can buy physical product too, that will help as well, but right now that's a finite supply; there aren't enough pressing plants to begin to make up what has been lost in the right now, and as anyone from Christchurch will likely attest, waiting for insurance to come through is a b*tch and there's no guarantees. Many of these labels probably won't make it, all of them are under the heaviest of heavy manners, this situation is unimaginably fucked up. Please I urge you to spare a few coins, go without something you don't really need anyway, and help a brother out - you're going to end up with some wicked music and you'll be helping to continue quality gear to be made and released. If you want to go the extra mile then do it from somewhere like Boomkat or any of the labels that sell direct, indie shops are going to feel the pain too and there's really no need to put any more pingers in Mr Jobs already overstuffed poche (but that's cool too if you gotta).

Man what a joy it has been having the music enthused positive powers of Snr CheeseOnToast warming up the airwaves prior to Stinky Grooves, it's like a breath of fresh air and I can't help thinking it's reflected in my three hours of relentless renkification. Lots to tell this week but really it's best done in the way of vids, pictures and embedded embers.

So to begin with you may have noticed a whole heap of Tourettes tracks over the last week or two. Reason being the next Round Trip Mars release is Tiger Belly by aforementioned potty mouther. It's a blinder and it shall be heralded with a few vids, viral? you say... positively inspiral say I, never mind the carpets ...here's the first...



And if you're feeling that then you should head on over to the Tourettes bandcamp and you can pick up that excellent track for a squiddling piddling amount, it's a better investment than any or yer stocks & shares pal...

Meanwhile we never know when to say stop, actually we never do..so videos for CD-only bonus tracks from albums a a couple of years old, yes we got them..that's us. Reject Pain was one of 5 tunes only obtainable on the CD versh of James Duncan's 'Hello-Fi' (begone digital duckers they aint yours) and now it's been immortalised, possibly even immoralized, on digi-film by Joe Fish. Feast yer luvvelys on the below, check you on the other side.



James is always a busy bwoy and he's just dropped the Punches album Etheria featuring him and Kelley Sherrod making beautiful and sometimes slightly sinister music together, on Arch Hill. Go hither and buy several, check their new vid too, it's good.

A tune you say??? Have a slice of chicha don Ranil getting a mix-up from the seemingly on perma-point Dengue Dengue Dengue... just below bro, and keep on reading.





Ranil y su Conjunto Tropical - Chinito Rulo (Dengue Dengue Dengue! Cumbiaton Refix) by Dengue Dengue Dengue!

Finally after all that you'll be needing a cup of tea and a lie down, and then after a bout of spiritual recuperation you'll probably be about ready to face the week again by... hmmm.. let's see .. say Saturday. Well then have I got news for you, The Vietnam War have kicked the metaphorical ass of the Kings Arms twice in the last month or so, too much of a good thing doesn't exist in their book, so they are back on Saturday night for another round. If you've got any sense and a pair of ears you should be too. Details below, don't delay.

Once again I'm flinging up the white flag and confessing that I'm plum tuckered and most definitely not up to even a semi-decent bit of postology. It's a shame because tonight's was another ripper, which frankly is a bit against the odds on a week when sleep has been relegated down the priority list, we've chucked a storming debut from She's So Rad out on the label and I've had to resign my booty to civic duty with a spot of jury service.
So the essential facts of the week are .....
SHE'S SO RAD release shindig for the excellent IN CIRCLES album (get it now.... seriously...or then) at WHAMMY on FRIDAY 5th with support from THE VIETNAM WAR, Dictaphone Blues & Roundboy 80. It's only a tenner, that's like generosity on a stick..see you there.

Also take note The Vietnam War will be playing down at the Tank Farm at the bottom of town at 1pm on Saturday. They've been on fire of late, 4 piece/5 piece...it makes no odds, they ripped the Kings Arms up (again) with a very different crowd on Sunday...notice is served and all that..its free!!!

I'll be whafting the shite fantastique at the Ginger Minx for Aromatherapy on Thursday, 8.30 on you know the score......
Here have a track from Durrty Goodz new mixtape/album thing, it IS a mixed bag to be brutally frank, but the good gear is the goodz for real, and all it takes is an email address (and between you and me it can be any old made up address) and the link is just upstairs in the playlist.
