How can anybody dislike Bangs? Good to see he has still got it. Let us pray he never learns to speak English fluently. He is just too lovable how he is… ‘It’s your boy Bangs. You nahmean, ah haaaa!’
Here are some other Christmas songs that don’t make you want to go on a killing spree in Myer as much as having to listen to ‘Six White Boomers’ on repeat. Which Christmas song do you hate the most?
It is funny how some songs will always have an association with certain people in your life. You hear it on the radio or find it on a blog somewhere, and the memories come rushing back.
I bought this red leather jacket recently. Totally unwearable. Thought it was the best thing ever, but I haven’t worn it once. I’ll just look like the Indian Michael Jackson. Not something that I think the girls of Sydney are ready for.
This week is both Halloween and FBi Radio’s ‘Instant Karma Supporter Drive’, where you sign up as a member of the station and we help you along in your search for Nirvana. At Stolen Records we are a sucker for a theme, so we thought we would combine it into a Hindi Halloween Party on your radio.
This is another one that you may not know was a cover, Shaggy’s version of The Folkes Brother’s ‘Oh Carolina’. The original was released in 1960 and was a landmark single in the development of reggae and ska music. It was reworked by Shaggy in 1993 and became an international mega hit.
We thought we would put it up here, because we have the fantastic, romantic, boombastic lover Shaggy in the studio this Wednesday so we can celebrate his birthday with fairy bread and chocolate crackles, and ask him questions like ‘Why does he sound drunk on each one of his tracks?’
An episode of Stolen Records without ten thousand rappers trying to freestyle in the studio. Just playing music and most of it was hip hop. Crazy! Bless up for DJ Damn (of Dirty Friends) on the mixing duties.

When I’m not listening to songs about sex, money and violence, I like to fill the room with one of my favourite French romantic composers, Gabriel Faure. Pavane in F-Sharp Minor is a piece he composed in 1887, and was sampled more than 100 years later by Xzibit. At the time when he wrote it, he was unhappily married and earning very little for his compositions, which were selling for about 50 Francs to the publisher. He was a bit of a depressive, pedantic sort of a chap. In his time off from his day job working as a church organist, he would write these large scale works and a couple piano pieces, but unhappy with how they were received he would destroy them just after a few performances. Here is the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra playing one that thankfully survived.
So a week or two ago Wiley had a bit of a spaz and decided to put up all his unreleased material online in about 10 separate zip files, including an album which he just signed a deal for. I been working my way through the zips, and thought I would share some of the gems I found amoungst all the half finished tracks.
One of the standouts is ‘Georgeous Girl’, where Wiley gets his Shakespeare on with lines like “She had eyes like Granny Smith apples”. Breath taking!
I almost spat coffee at the computer screen when I saw this one. I did this interview with El-P ages ago. One of the things we were talking about is a bet that he made with a friend that he couldn’t make a happy song. Years later El-P remixes Justin Bieber and he still manages to come out losing that wager.
Quickly have a listen as two polar opposites collide. You have only a few minutes before this very song creates a contradiction in the music time continuum causing the universe to implode on it’s self.
