Radio Killed The Hindernet Star...

As you have probably already guessed, my love affair with reposting other people's thoughts, music and photos on the hindernet has finally fizzled out. This is mainly due to the fact that I have a weekly radio show on Manchester's ALL FM 96.9 which takes time to prepare, coupled with expensive drinking and record buying habits and the fact that I just don't think anyone's really that interested... I'm over it.
Seriously.
Not a problem.
Really.
Anyway, check the radio show. You can listen live on your radio every Tuesday from noon or go to the ALL FM WEBSHITEto listen to it on the hindernet or check the archive on Mixcloud HERE

Professional tall guy and all-round good egg, VENTS did this advertorial thingy in conjunction with THE BENCH 504 and YARDMASTER a while ago and he has a cool new website where you can look at the pretty pictures he paints and shoot your wad on some of the guff that he has for sale.

Predictable Wak Shit...

I've been a bit slack with the whole hindernet blogging fuckery recently and nowhere is this neglect more obvious than on the annoying ginger stepchild that is the PAINTWASTERS WEBSHITE where I... Look, I don't have time for this shit, just assume that the following couple of paragraphs were going to be utterly hilarious and peppered with gramatical errors, then go and peep the relative uptodateness RIGHT HERE FOR FLIP'S SAKE

Jazzy Jeff...

just one of many tracks that I keep forgetting to share on this here pisspoor excuse for a blog...



"Jazzy Jeff inspired a generation of 80’s kids with classics such as ‘Live from Union Square’ and ‘A Touch of Jazz’ with his right hand man the Fresh Prince. I was one of those kids who used to scratch my head with amazement after listening to his turntable skills. Chrome hits the nail on the head with his nostalgic rhymes in this respectful nod to the man Jazzy Jeff aka Jeff Townes.
Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on January 22, 1965, Jazzy Jeff took to the DJ booth at age 10. He worked in area clubs, pioneering the transformer scratch and chirp scratch. In 1985, he and Will Smith formed the act DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince. They sold millions of records and became the first rap act to win a Grammy. To this day he inspires thousands of dj’s with his dance floor rocking sets.
So let’s take a second to send our respects to the man with a touch of jazz on the decks. This is the second single from the second album from K-Delight due this year. This will be a limited edition FREE download then will be available from the usual online spots. Enjoy."

one down, god knows how many more to go. next...

Protecting Profits....

Stop your whinging about "scrounging" benefit claimants living the high life / immigrants "coming over here, taking our jobs" or whatever other porkies the national press are hyping at the moment and consider that a portion of your taxes go toward paying for THIS ^^ nonsense.
Paid for by the public for the benefit of private business.

Donnie Propa - Side 2 Side...

DONNIE PROPA out of HEAVY LINKS has put out his first mix in what seems like an age and I reckon it's been worth the wait.
This one is chock full of double copies of classic U.S rap RECORDS (ie: all vinyl, none of your download, mp3jay, dibby dibby soundbwoy bizznizzzzzz) from the 90's and was done in collaboration with PLANET ROCK GRAPHICS as the first in their SIDE2SIDE series of mixtapes.

Tired, Tired, Tired...

I am a white, self-employed, working class male with a roof over my head, access to the hindernet and plenty of spare time on my hands (like I said, I'm self-employed) so what could I possibly have to complain about? In reality, not a lot but that's not going to stop me having a go...

Chuggers
Charities such as Oxfam / Help The Aged / Marie Curie / Cancer Research et al. could REALLY do themselves a favour if they stopped employing all these £8 per hour, hi-viz and false smile wearing, "hello-mate-can-I-have-a-minute-of-your-time...", straight-out-of-uni mother flippers to try and charm my bank details from me and simply returned to the time honoured tradition of selling dead people's clothes, dog eared books and scratched Klaus Wunderlich LP's from a shop that smells vaguely of wee.

Golf Umbrellas
No one is that fat that the only way they can shelter from god's tears whilst wandering round a busy city centre is to stab people with a multi-coloured, 2:1 scale model of the Millenium Dome. Cease and desist. And that goes double for all you vertically challenged, eye-stabbing fools.

Rucksacks On Wheels
Commuters, what is it that you need to carry round with you on a daily basis that will fit into the average sized rucksack but is too heavy to be carried by your puny little body and therefore needs to be pulled behind you in an average sized rucksack on wheels? Assuming that you're not taking gold bars to work everyday - NOTHING!

People Who Drive To The Gym
...and then spend the entire time on the running and/or cycling machines.

People Who Start Every Sentence With The Word So
Especially prevalent in the wonderful world of social networking websites, these fuckers start EVERY sentence as if it's the punchline to a non-existent previous sentence, "So I've just finished reading a totes amazeballs article in Vice magazine...", "So I've just started a new diet...", "So it turns out my girlfriend is leaving me..."
SO. FUCKEN. WHAT.

White Males Of A Certain Age Who Compile Lists Of Petty Grievances On Blogs That Nobody Reads
Fuck it, i'm tired anyway.


Til next time...

Burgundy Blood and King Cesar....

Heavy Crates & More Bounce & No Fakin' have announced this gem of a late valentine's day present for the missus...




"KING CESAR introduced himself to Hip Hop fans worldwide with his collaboration with MF DOOM on "Who You Think I Am" taken from Doom's timeless classic LP "Operation Doomsday". Along with Doom he is an original member of the underground New York Super Crew Monsta Island Czars. Their official debut LP "Escape From Monsta Island", largely produced by Cesar, earned huge critical acclaim reaching almost cult status with underground Hip Hop fans. For his first ever UK shows he is joined by Heavy Crates collaborator BURGUNDY BLOOD.

A Stalwart of the Manchester music scene for over 2 decades BURGUNDY BLOOD came back fresher than ever in 2013 with his multi-member Hip Hop concept 'series'. As well as KING CESAR has recently collaborated with SADAT X for Heavy Crates Records, dropped 'The Cordial Stance' EP on Chopped Herring Records and makes his Manchester debut off the back of a highly anticipated colloaboration with KOOL KEITH."

Antimix One by Fish on Mixcloud

I've recently uploaded ANTIMIX ONE, TWO, EIGHT, ELEVEN and FOURTEEN to MIXCLOUD alongside the FROM THE ARCHIVE cut & paste jobby so, even if they are no longer available to download, you can still have some ropey Fish selections to listen to on your way to the launderette. Lucky you.

Antimix 14...

I'm guessing that everyone's had sufficient time to recover from Mr. Krum's £18 worth of super duty tough work that is/was ANTIMIX 13 (none of the records he used cost more than £1, apparently) to move onto the next in the series which has been compiled by no-one's favourite antisocial, balding, drunken DJ and beatmaker who talks about himself in the third person on a blog that nobody actually reads, Fish.

This one was put together during a particularly punishing schedule of getting drunk, smoking cigarettes, painting graffiti, scouring Facebook for things to reblog, scouring the hindernet for porn (for, ahem, research) and rearranging little bits of people's music for other people to do rapping over.

It's the usual reasonably subtle blend of old and new, drum heavy, sampled and sampleable jazzfunkpsycherocksoulandthat which I'm sure you've probably heard before but, it's not costing you anything -other than about 200mb of precious hard drive space which, let's be honest, you'd only fill with filthy pictures anyway - so, stop your complaining.

Unfortunately, the links for these compilations are becoming more and more difficult to keep live (home taping is killing music don't you know!) so you had probably better CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD NOW before it disappears into the ether forever...
