The Most with Andy Bell - Now I feel

The weeks that were (the extreme highlights edition)

I have been meaning to do this all evening but channel surfing between the NFC game and extreme makeover Buffalo kinda took over.
Some of the last couple of weeks highlights include the Theophilus London track Humdrum town this brooklyn boy is headed for very big things. just wondering is it just me or does the start of this track sound like when the doves cry.
For the rock heads check out Leeches Of Lore with Cenozoic death waltz but don't you just want to slap the drunk chick fucking with the keyboards. Other highlights include the Kiwi aussie hip hop connection Beatkamp and an amazing new track from gil-scott-heron.
Cheers for reading if you like what you hear spread the word tell ya friends, drop a comment good or bad peace.
ps i gotta go sleep now apparently i am a pastry cook now too.

Prefuse 73 with Live Band, Gaslamp Killer, Voices Voices - Soundlab Buffalo 1/21/10

Arriving at soundlab which is a great little club there was a big crowd and an expectant air of excitement. Gaslamp Killer was dropping his brand of dubstep with his wild hair and infectious dancing behind the decks i was expecting a fun night.
Then Prefuse 73 and cohorts took the stage and for a while the crowd was into it but after a while it just got tedious fast they would hit a great beat and then just destroy it with noise. i don't mind feedback noise etc being a fan of artists like Sonic youth to lightning bolt but there really seemed no point to it. With little or no crowd interaction people either left or just seemed confused. The two tracks from One Word Extinguisher near the end were the highlights for sure but they were to little to late the set ended muted applause and no calls for an encore pretty much summed up the mood. very disappointing.
As a side note i have heard Prefuse 73 solo shows are fantastic, maybe next time.
