Like the thread. Nice work.

'Cymbal Rush' by Thom Yorke, as remixed by The Field:

Shame that clip is only 1:15. Think it's even better if you know the original quite well:

Holy crap. 2 people in the forum at once? Posted 10 seconds apart?? Legend of crate digging??? My life is complete.

Oh yeah, nice one Phil. Enjoyed them both.

OK, here's one. Was listening to this track last night on my motorbike coming home from work. Cold crisp air, city lights,...this song made me drive about 120 kph in a 50 zone.

Kings of Leon - Sex On Fire: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHhhcKxflMY

Gauging from the 7.6 million views of this vid I'm guessing this song isn't news to anyone (Honestly, I'm super sheltered from commercial radio, tv, etc).

Four Tet have a new mini album out. The first track, Ringer, is also the title track and this is the best I can do via youshmoob:

I present to you the band Snowden (named after the character in Heller's 'Catch 22', not the mountain in Wales):

I'd post my favourite song which is called 'Between the Rent and Me' but there only seems to be live versions and they're all shit.

I don't care if no one else is playing this game. I will educate the world, one song at a time.

Nice work guys. I must admit I was going through a bit of a music lull there, but am happily inspired once again.

Here's my pick:

Here's the backstory (oh there's always a backstory):

Back in my funk and jazz phase, I was digging through some guy's HUGE personal collection of records. It filled an entire warehouse. My buddy Morgan turned me on to the spot, and was digging with me. He'd already been through about 90% of the collection, and pulled all the gems. So naturally I jumped in to the section he hadn't been through yet. (Digging is cut-throat FYI.)

I pulled a bit, I can't even remember what. Morgan flipped through my section a few hours later and pulled out "McDonald and Giles". He tells me, "you flipped past this?!" "You really don't know your psych stuff do you?" To be perfectly honest I didn't. At that point I only knew hip hop and the music it was based upon.

Morgan already had the record and insisted I buy this copy. So, turns out, it quickly became my favorite record of ALL TIME -- the record I compare all others to, the record I go into shops asking, "do you have anything similar to McDonald and Giles?" Sadly, the answer is always either "Huh? Who?" or "Nope, sorry, there's nothing quite like that record".

Cheers ard, and welcome to the party. And thanks for the djferrari link - passed it on to a mate of mine and she loves it.

I have no idea whatsover about the northern soul scene! A quick google seems to suggest that it's alive and kicking but I only tend to go clubbing once every couple of months and that usually involves a four/four beat and dancing manically until 6am, if you know what I mean.

My thoughts for the day:

Recently tried to purchase a copy of this record off of eBay. I bid $100, but the reserve still wasn't met. F*** that guy, right? Well, looked back a couple days later, and the highest bid was $600. It sold for $710!

Even finding a digital copy of this is rare. CDs go for $125! Someone (bless their heart) recently posted mp3s to what.cd. This isn't the best song on the album, but there's not much to pick from on YouTube.

i was totally about to start a "music on youtube" thread. so huzzah! is there room on this thread for silly/interesting music on this thread?
ie:

i suppose Ard's lack of paying attention to pop-radio explains there being a top 40 song on lavilla radio. don't get me wrong i am a kings of leon fanatic.

Ps. A delete post function in "edit" would be nice

Time for some old classics...
