Forsooth! But The Domino website informs us it is indeed true that the line up of Mark Ibold, Scott “Spiral Stairs” Kannberg, Stephen Malkmus, Bob Nastanovich and Steve West is reuniting for dates around the world in 2010. Wonder if they fancy spinning a few records for us when they hit the Smoke. Watch this space.

Meet our latest crush, Hudson Mohawke, the man whose caught the ears of Warp Records and convinced them it was about high time they released a hip hop record. Well, I say hip hop, but you know that when Warp gets involved all is not so easily classifiable. “Turbo-soul” or “Blacklite blues” would be a bit closer to the mark.
Warp have put up an MP3 sampler of HudMo’s forthcoming album “Butter” (that title is so perfect I wanna cry).
See what I mean?
Whatever it is, it certainly makes us feel all funny inside, and we’re not the only ones – apparently Rhianna’s people have been in touch begging young Hud Mo to give her a crack at some cred and a track to wrap her pipes around.
The ultra hip amongst you will already be onto him. Way back when he was a wee lad in Glasgow, he made a couple of white label remixes with vocal hooks from an Ashanti track and perhaps more appropriately, Ms Dynamite(e-hee)’s protogeé Tweet’s ode to female self-love, released by Glasgow’s Wireblock label. For your pleasure:
We’ll be playing some Hud Mo at the next Round Our Gaff for sure (October 1st at Queen of Hoxton, deets here.)
Show some love:

…are a bit like Boards Of Canada, and a whole lot of lovely. Actually, “they” are a “he” – Simeon Bowring. Anyway, the “A Thousand Paper Cranes” album is coming out on Hydrogen Dukebox (remember big beat?) backed with a series of youtube videos for each track. This track, “Aquamarine” is the first.
