Wot's Hot
MP3: The Field-
The More that I do (Thomas Fehlmann Remix)
This heart-stopping Thomas Fehlmann remix of The Field's 'the more that I do' turned up on the Kompakt Total 10 compilation. Fehlmann takes a resonating chime from the unspooling sample at the end of the original production, then uses it as a gorgeous focal point from which he spins an entirely new progression for the track. Heady and soft; like err...a soft head?

Deadbeat Summer
MP3: Neon Indian-
Should Have Taken Acid With You
Neon Indian. Sounds like some dilettante trust-funder's loft project over in New York doesn't it? Well, it is - as far as I can make out. His/her/their EP, Psychic Chasms, is the object of slavering, unchecked praise all over the 'net. In fact it is so cool that lots of people who tried to lick the EP are in hospital in America right now, getting it surgically removed from their tongues.
For what it's worth, I am really enjoying the synthy sounds of the Psychic Chasms EP. It's a zonked concoction of brightly-painted ingredients which are muddled, rinsed, and manipulated in such a way that they bleed into a disorientating aural brainfuck. Yet the moreish melodies and satisfyingly chunky undercoat of hip-hop stop the songs from disappearing too far up their neon rectums. A repeated lyric of "should have taken acid with you" in the song "should have taken acid with you" will probably be a key deciding factor in other people's judgements of whether to love or hate this whole bag of calculated weirdness.
Analogue just piloted a classy new web-based music TV show. It features Adrian Crowley (recently signed to Chemikal Underground - woop!), Final Fantasy, and some terrific editing. Really impressive stuff.
Wot's Not
Knee-high socks: Girls what are you fucking thinking? For once Prada are wrong this season.
Navan: Cultureless void of a town. Excreted from the back of a shopping centre. About to be rendered obsolete by the M3.

That description of Navan is hilarious!
Loving that Field remix so much.
Damn stright, thigh high or nothing (well, ankles, or nothing).
Sharon for the win!
I'm a big fan of knee-high socks actually. No good with trousers though. Wait, are knee-high socks in now? I have to leave the house some day.
I have to come clean. I haven't a fucking notion. I just copied that from 'the measure' in the guardian. Come to think of it, I don't mind a knee high sock. It's the anime school girl look isn't it. Pervy.
Hells yeah
