One of my biggest regrets in life next to not making it as an Astronaut or being a world famous thumb wrestling champion, is missing Little Dragon when they played an intimate gig at Sydney’s Good God Small Club. I have been following them for a while, and I don’t think as big as they are now, I will ever get a chance to see them like that again.
Here are a few oldies and one newie from the itsy bitsy fire breathing creature.
Listen: Little Dragon – Recommendation (Toddla T Remix) | Buy Me
Get Thingy-Ma-Jiggy Wiv It – as one of the UK’s finest DJs, former Scratch Pervert and Extended Players member, Mr Thing plays a set of raw hip hop goodness.
First it was ‘Watch The Thrown’ and now this. Dubstep is just so mainstream right now. Let’s see if it takes off and becomes the latest craze in hip hop. Skream could just be the next David Guetta.
They were like a gate way drug. Spank Rock made it okay for indie kids to like sexually explicit, misogynistic party music. At first it was only an ironic love, but maybe now it has have given way to a more genuine enjoyment for music that makes you dumber with each listen. So after a little while away making Italo Disco, Spank Rock finally have a new record, Everything Is Boring And Everyone Is A Fucking Liar, which should be out later this month. Here are the first tracks to make their way to the interwebs. We have Bike Song the sequel and another tune about ass and titties? Thoughts?

We had a good ol’ time talking about our favourite flower arrangements. I’m quite fond of native arrangements myself. You can’t go wrong with Paper Daisies. They just last forever. You can hear our conversation and Miss Lane’s live performance in this episode of our show…
If you are not yet formally acquainted allow me to introduce you to Levins and Captain Franco. Levin’s is your favourite DJs, favourite Australian DJ. If not for his musical selections, definitely for his kangaroo burgers and fine hospitality. Meanwhile, Franco is the DJ of choice for all those untouchably, hot hipster girls that look like they fell out of one of your wank fantasies.
Together with the help of Spruce Lee they do a hip hop night called Halfway Crooks. It earns both the disparagement and envy of ‘true school’ hip hop heads. It is one of the few good hip hop parties in Sydney, which is a ‘party’ and there is a possibility you may go home with a female with all her own teeth.
They have started a new podcast called the Hip Hoptimist. It is basically them giving their review of the latest rap albums, and talking copious amounts of shit. Alternatively, I could just hang out at The Dip or Heaps Decent for this sort of conversation, but today I chose to download it. If they cyphered at the end of each of these episodes I would be a regular listener.
Here they give their two cents on Lil Wanye, Ferrari Boyz, Jay-Z & Kanye, and The Games latest works.
Our sample snitching prizes have just been getting better and better. Here our uber-hot producer, Janine models our exclusive, one of a kinda Stolen Records Skrillionaire’s Pendant. Win our weekly pick the sample competition and you could be rocking so much ice it looks like you survived a snow blizzard. Jacob the Jeweler eat your heart out.
I had a bit of a love hate relationship with the band. Bombs Over Baghdad for instances – not necessary. I just want to hear that kicking, crisp electronic production rather than a wall of noise through which it was sometimes difficult to make out the song. However, on the other hand, Spottieottiedopalicious played with the help of two horn players in matching green Adidas tracksuits – stooooopid fresh to the power of infinity plus one.
Oh did anybody see that hoochie doing her stripper dance between the horn players? Oh dear! Maybe it would work in a place where folks weren’t so rhythmically challenged, but it just seems awkward when they invite the girls on stage in an attempt to turn the encore into the after party.
Nitpicking aside, Big Boi has hits for days, and delivers them with an amazing energy and flow. He played his part of all the Outkast hits as early as ‘Southernplayalisticcadiallacmusic’ taking us through to his more recent ‘Sir Luscious Left Foot’ solo jams. What more can I say? Dude can really rap, and it is just bumping party music.
In addition, Theophilus London was fun. Bringing a little bit of that Andre 3000 element to the tour.
Oh and big ups to Thundamentals who almost got kicked off the tour for stealing chicken backstage. Apparently Big Boi has two tonnes of chicken wings in his rider in every variety from Buffalo Wings to Honey Mustard Wings.
