it’s the all new 2012 – let’s go.
(after this):
music and etc
hello. not that a particularly tight schedule is kept here at sb but even so, a mid evening tuesday post is unexpected.
no real reason for it - just felt like a catch up, make sure you’re ok…
shameboy is on heaviest rotation here. original productions, remixes they do, remixers they get on board – everything they touch is gold. they seem to have a midas touch.
featured the alex gopher ‘rechoque redux’ remix and their own wazabi remix a bit back so you’ll know it’s all big room bonkers acid/electro/wiggly bits/large drums. massive buildups/downs are slightly restrained, increasing the tension. full on but with really nice sharp edits behind the madness. and then on the new album they even slip in a couple of really gentle flute & acoustic guitar led trad folk covers**.

a big dirty bugger of an ep….
the momentous tenth edition of franks friday.
huge thanks for all the congratulations (and the bouquet!).
as it’s an anniversary there’s some old, some new and with bbc4 on my telly, some creation. lets go:
wazabi, shogun (shameboy remix)
the louche fc, back bedroom casualty
the jesus & mary chain, never understand
the black box revelation, high on a wire (waxdolls kills your television remix)

if i were to focus-group myself on “mixtapes” tonight, the outcome would almost certainly be we are prostitutes.
stubru, switch mix
guestmix for boris dlugosch
last birthday my mum got me a fantastic print by pete mckee titled ‘rites of passage’ – here’s a short film about the man.

lots of reforming chat tonight….the ‘definitive’ book is out next year carrying a large publishing advance and all of that, so it looks more likely this time. reni just now saying he’s not in though – it’s all or nothing surely. 
this recording is from when it was all wide-eyed and genuinely exciting…..(fogged stream-of-conscious recall via the ’read more’ button – warning; contains colloquialism & local minutiae. mon.)
the stone roses, park lane shrewsbury 25/05/1989 (soundcheck and gig – mediafire)
bootleg description quoted from the bootleg guide on excellent fansite thestoneroses.co.uk
“Sound Quality: B - Clear and steady, but distorts during particularly loud sections. Sound check is in marginally better quality than the gig.
Performance Quality: A - Very melodic performance. Squire’s jangling guitar with Ian and Reni’s great vocals. This is one of Ian’s best ever live performances – not even a glitch on the chorus of Resurrection.
Why should I get this bootleg? The best ever live performance of Made Of Stone is on here, and great performances of Where Angels Play and Standing Here are too. Also funny to hear Ian shout to someone in the audience “Sit down man – you’re making a spectacle of yourself” and hear the audience all laugh at him. This causes a fight, which Ian tries to calm down during the opening to Adored!”**
The Sound Check (20 mins):
1. Ian solo singing verses of I Am The Resurrection
2. Ian clicking some drum sticks
3. Mani solo playing: an unknown bassline, She Bangs The Drums bassline, Waterfall bassline (small bit)

6. Roadies/crew/band/promoter talking
