RC 242: It’s the System That Makes You A Wanderer (The 4 R’s)

(image from my recent Shoreham to Angmering walk)

Talking of switcheroos, this originally was the Xtra mix #4 exclusive to Radio Clash Live, but then I decided that this was a better show than the later one where I tried to cram everything in and failed, so the show I recorded the week after became that show. Confused? Well I was…

This show is about the 4 R’s – RIP Romanthony and Rauhofer, The Robots and Rioting (this was recorded the night the EDL went down to Woolwich to try and start something and failed). Both ended up a long show, but like any long things it’s very worth it.

Hurry Up With My Damn Croissants

Hail Yeezus!

About to go to the supermarket to get something for breakfast tomorrow so this is in my head. become a massive meme in a very short time ;-) Sounds like someone has been listening to Death Grips (?). (image via Eve Massacre)

(1:55 for those scratching their heads about this meme) (Un?)intentionally funny, and complete ego/scare/horror trip of cocaine-mountain proportions, hard to work out if Ye is serious here…

Art isn’t cheap

Not as instant as my Freelance Aint Free t-shirt but a more elegant explanation why art & creativity costs. And yes I’ve had the ‘I could paint that’ or ‘my 5 year old could do better’ – I’ve usually said ‘Well why don’t you/they do so?’. It’s a lot harder than it looks – but strange people don’t look at plumbers or doctors and go ‘why does it cost so much?’

Plastic Cup – Low (video)

What’s with the black and white & glitter early cinema feel in music videos? Here’s another one!

Still love this song and album, but now with a great video, with Alan’s sarcastic Thunderbirds motions (for a while I was wondering if it was some effect then realised it was his performance) and the odd post-apocalyptic creatures…seems to be a theme, what with the previous video having Mimi sing ‘Just make it stop’ and then the plants take over:

Sounds like they are back in November for ATP (that must be the last one surely? Tempting although probably sold out…) and some more intimate shows. After the excellent but strangely bloodless Barbican show (really, rock gigs and tiers of seats and people that don’t even breathe don’t mix, it was strange – also felt too young to be there, even at 40, like this was a bit too scarily reverent, a bit too Radio 2…) so tempted to see them in a more closer setting…

London Grammar

Strange how it took someone in New York to identify the song that’s been haunting me on the radio (woke up today and this was playing, was going to check out what it was…Mike saved me the search!) but London Grammar – Wasting My Young Years is beautiful – love the Eadweard Muybridge-style video too made with 100s of small pinhole cameras – love the low tech! (via Mike Woods). Also there is a mashup link – Roy ‘Freelance Hellraiser’ Kerr co-produced this album…small world!
