Kraftwerk video
For years I'd been going to gigs in london and always saw Kraftwerk t-shirts about in music shops and in Camden Market but I never bothered to buy one. Last time I hit The Big Smoke I swear I went to every music shop in the world looking to finally pick up the blue Kraftwerk shirt that I'd always ignored and it was nowhere to be found, I was pretty pissed off. See what happens when I get pissed off? Camden Market burns down and Selectadisc becomes Sister Ray...
Here is 2 hours of pure Kraftwerk video, at least as pure as something on MTV2 120 Minutes can be:
You can watch the video in glorious full screen by clicking on the little rectangle at the bottom right then go to stage6.com and look for more music videos using their crappy search function.

The Magnetic Fields - live download
In celebration of the release of the new album by The Magnetic Fields called Distortion today I have a present for you. For free you can download a full gig they played in Manchester a few years back.
I was gonna write a bit of a thing about how my life completely changed during "All the Umbrellas in London" but I'm way to flucking depressed today to make the effort. Earlier I was thinking how I've kind of talked about being all depressed 'n' shit on this blog along with posting cool music and I thought that its a good thing and I'd use this as a sort of 'dear diary, i hate myself, check out the song' kind of thing, but I'm too depressed to do it today, typical.
For you I have the 30.10.04 show from The Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester. They were on for 1hr45mins and I cried for 1hr15mins and my life was changed forever during that time as I said.
Here's the tracklisting:
I Was Born
I Don't Believe In The Sun
A Chicken With It's Head Cut Off
I Looked All Over Town
Come Back From San Francisco
I Don't Really Love You Anymore
All The Umbrellas In London
If You Don't Cry
Born On A Train
I Wish I Had An Evil Twin
I Don't Believe You
Suddenly There Is A Tidal Wave
All My Little Words
Strange Powers
I Thought You My Boyfriend
A Pretty Girl Is Like...
Swinging London
Smoke And Mirrors
The Book Of Love
Reno Dakota
If There's Such A Thing As Love
Papa Was A Rodeo
All I Want To Know
It's Only Time
Yeah! Oh Yeah!
I Die
I warn you that you can hear the MD recorder spinning for a second a few times and that I've chopped it down to just the songs cause they talk for ages between songs and it was too quiet to hear on the recording.

Red House Painters Early Demos - download
Do you like Red House Painters / Mark Kozelek? Do you like early demos? Do you like downloads? If you answered yes to those 3 questions then you are gonna be chuffed cause I've uploaded the original demo's that Mark sent to 4AD Records and music journalists back in 1991 / 1992. From 4ad.com: "Imagine what it was like for 4AD chief Ivo Watts-Russell the first time he listened to the Red House Painters' demo tapes. Demos, by nature, are rudimentary things, often suggesting promise but rarely realising it. Most demos are excruciatingly bad - the kind of unlistenable things you play for bemused friends so they, too, can wonder why the potential musician ever bothered in the first place. Red House Painters were luckier. The elusive chemistry was there from the first note."
Red House Painters have a special place in my heart, when depression first took hold on me and wouldn't let go back in 2001 I was into them in a big way, one Saturday after work I was walking down the pavement on a main road listening to Drop and for the first time in my life I wanted to kill myself, as Mark sang I got lower and lower...
So much that i can't say to you
My voice shakes from the hurt that i hide
Ashamed of my existence
And of my petty often wounded pride
I'd like to come home to see you
And to catch your sickness by the bedside
But then you'd know how much i really need you
...I stood in Tesco in a daze for ages with no idea what was going on. I left the shop and on the opposite side of the same road the speeding cars called to me again, and again and again and I was ready to jump when a little kid about 2 or 3 years old with his family looked up at me, smiled and said hello. I felt disgusting, what was I thinking? That kid saved my life and he will never know it. I quit my job on the Monday and the depression is still kicking my ass 6 years on. If you haven't heard Red House Painters before and want this kind of misery then I recommend you start with their self titled album with the rollercoaster on the cover or their 2 disc Retrospective. If you have heard them before and you love them then download these demos...
