Stupid ordering
So it looks like if I add more than one tune a day, I can't count on the order they'll be displayed (see the Jacuzzi Boys orgy from late October 2008). Every time I edit something, they get reordered. I guess you get what you pay for.
VBR
Apparently, this thing I'm using to generate the feed freaks out on variable bit rates. No big deal, just ignore the bit rate when it looks like some whacked out number.

A (mostly) random collection of music that is relevant to me in some way. Maybe you'll like it, maybe not...

Black Lips - Veni Vidi Vici
This is a drift through the desert that sees Black Lips emerge spaced out but cocksure enough to charm a rattlesnake of a song from the sandstorm, hypnotising with a rhythm that, despite the heat, barely breaks into a sweat. Adding a liberal dose of cosmic fairy dust to a swaggering chorus that recounts the immortal words of Julius Caesar himself: 'Veni, Vidi, Vici' (which, for those who went to a school without the practical foresight to teach Latin, they helpfully translate as 'We came, we saw, we conquered all'). A healthy whiff of arrogance fills the air and proves that this band more than any other manage to recreate the true sound and attitude of Sixties garage.
It may contain little of the raucous energy and adrenaline of their live shows but it's an intoxicating mash up nevertheless, and one with a strong message - psych-blues with an anti-war sting in the tail.
