KID SISTER DROPS INTO DRAGONS DEN TO GET HER NAILS DID

This is how my brain works:
Take one tune by KID SISTER:

and the theme tune to a BBC TV show that's definitely NAGAIUTB:

Notice the similarity?
Well, I did!!
For all those fans of the Jeremy Kyle/Justice mashup - voila...
LISTEN OR DOWNLOAD HERE
It's even got the REGGAE REGGAE SAUCE guy in there!

SOMEONE OUT THERE LIKES ME!!

'Boots Manuva' is a "fooking tune" - it's official!
That's according to DIRTYSEXYMUSIC blog who wrote some very nice words about yours truly. Got a mention at AUDIOPORN CENTRAL too!!

Thanks muchly chaps for showing 'mad love'.

BOOTS MANUVA

Saw ROOTS MANUVA performing in-store at HMV Oxford Street last week.
It was cool.
He did four songs from the new album 'Slime & Reason' and stuck around a bit at the end to sign stuff.
Roots is a nice guy.
I told him back in the 60s my grandad was a caretaker at Woodmansterne Primary School where the 'Witness' video was filmed (which is true) and he told me he didn't REALLY go to school there. Ah well, that's my 'Six Degrees' theory fucked.
'Buff Nuff' is the real stand-out track on the album and clearly a favourite with the crowd who turned up to see him in HMV. Discovered there's an acapella floating around too. Started messing around with that and The Cure's 'Close To Me' which fits really well but seemed a bit overplayed so that got scrapped and replaced with something else I've been listening to a lot recently - 'Meddle' by LITTLE BOOTS.
Which gave me some great mash-up titles: 'Little Roots', 'Buff Boots' etc. but this is the most obvious one:
'BOOTS MANUVA' (click here to listen/download).

TOO LATE TO FLUXOGISE...

It was almost worth doing this just for the dumb picture I ended up creating!
Well, this one is long overdue. It must have been a year ago that NME gave away a free Bloc Party CD complete with a U-MYX version of 'Flux' where you can mute or solo each element of a song (they call it 'remixing' but it ain't REALLY, not what you and I would call remixing. Great for this kinda thing though).
So I'm listening to this track over and over, trying to find something that might go with the BP acapella and I got nuttin - brain is dry. Meanwhile, Xmas 07 is looming and 'Apologize' is getting heavy radio play. I must be hearing it four or five times a day at work. Now I can't even say I LIKE the song but eventually it becomes like wallpaper and the two songs start merging in my head (coz that's how my brain works now) and it becomes clear, like it or not, this HAS to be done! But I can only find a crappy karaoke instrumental and it's the Onerepublic version anyway, not Timbaland's which kinda defeats the object.
Give up.
Another one on the scrapheap.

Fast forward to this weekend: I'm digging around the hard drive, going through all my half-finished shit and there it is... "Fluxogise". In one Sunday afternoon, I managed to grab the proper instrumental from the promo CD AND a DIY acapella - I'm as happy as a dog with two dicks!
So I ended up with two versions...

'FLUXOGISE (Bloc Party over Timbaland's beats)
To be honest, I prefer this one coz that's what I could hear in my head.

'APOLOFLUX' (Onerepublic whining all over Bloc Party)
I mean, this one's alright but the DIY pella leaves it lacking something.
What do you think, kids?
Answers on a postcard please...
