Best Track Ever, part 30: The Escapades of Futura 2000
Legendary graffiti king Futura 2000 once recorded a track together with The Clash, called The Escapades of Futura 2000, with other hip hop graffiti legends Fab Five Freddy and Dondi White as back up vocals.
He really is rapping off beat and the lyrics were also not the best in the world, but this song had something special about it: it triggered punk, ska, reggae, funk, hiphop and disco producers and bands like The Beastie Boys, Gang Of Four, Rip Rig Panic, The Slits, Bush Tetras, Liquid Liquid PIL and even Talking Heads to cross over more. So I consider myself lucky to have this track on vinyl.

Single Collection, Part I: Paul Hardcastle - 19
In my youth I used to have quite a collection of ’singles’. For the younger folks: singles are little 7″ vinyl discs that rotate 45 times per minute.
At that time I also developed an addiction to sloth machines (this one to be more precise). That addiction cost me my collection. I practically sold them all to a second hand store in our town to feed my addiction. Big shame on me.
But thanks to internet I now can get some of it back. I’m going to try and find them and restore the collection I once had.
First up is Paul Hardcastle with 19. A track with samples from a documentary about traumatized Vietnam veterans. Still rocks I think!

Moderat and Hercules & Love Affair @ Iceland Airwaves
Footage that misses Kobayashi took of Moderat and Hercules & Love Affair @ Iceland Airwaves last month.
Let’s be honest, we were all a little bit in love with little Kim Ann Foxman, one of the singers in Hercules and Love Affair. An A-class cutie with a golden voice.

R.I.P. Technics 1200
My oh my. It’s official. Panasonic confirmed what has been a rumor for a while: they’re stopping the production of the iconic Technics 1200 vinyl turntable.
Sad sad sad news. Read the full story here.
But I’m damn happy I own two! They’re like gold, I love them and they’ll never get old. Bought them 15 years ago and I’m pretty sure they will stand close to me for at least another 15 years.

Best Track ever, part 28: Die You Fuck
I am so fixated by this track at the moment that I just have to call it my new best track ever. Not that I’m feeling like killing somebody, but it gives me that ‘healthy aggression’, one needs once in a while.
Die You Fuck by Brainbombs, Swedish punkrockers from the eighties, although it really sounds like it could be be made tomorrow.
Btw, the guy on the cover is Ed Gein, a not so friendly man, although huge inspiration for a lot of movie directors.
