Peace, Propaganda & the Promised Land

Here is a documentary that everyone should see. Sadly enough we don't see this on tv so we have to go and search the nets to find out what is really going on. No matter where you stand or if you just feel that you don't care, please see this documentary!

Stereolab - One Note Samba/ Surfboard

It's time to dig in my record collection again to give you a nice one this sunday afternoon. A band I used to listen to alot during the 90's was Stereolab. I loved their experimantal electronic monotonic sound and Laetitia Sadier's hypnotic voice. This is one of my favourites.

Linx - Can't Help Myself

from the LP Go Ahead (Chrysalis, 1981)

Giorgio - Sooner or Later (Pitched Up To The Max)

This is really a smooth slomo tune which in its original tempo is really nice, but I like it better pitched up (+8) to the max. Take a listen for yourself. A true Giorgio Moroder classic gets even better. (If you've smoked alot of weed today you'd probably like the original slomo version better).
