Nicolai continues his series of mixtapes with Even The Stars Look Like A Mess. An audio collage that melds Drone, Ambient and Drag. The perfect soundtrack to summer.. right? The blissed out milky sounds of Lil Wayne scatter alongside abstract Krautrock and the monolithic Sun O))). Salem, Harmonia & Eno, Silver Apples, even Werner Herzog make their presence felt. Well this is Man Bites Blog, the home of musicus eclecticus!
This time around you can expect to be lulled into an artificial state of delirium as the podcast takes things nice-n-slow. It's like the syrup on the pancake of sound. The music drags, courtesy of OOOOO, Mt. Kimbie and Balam Acab. Look out for Miles Davis serenading Wacko Jacko from the grave. Skirmish is rewriting the dubstep rulebook as we speak. His dark dark take on the genre is a highlight. The blueberry's to continue previous metaphor. Last but not least the music of Man Bites Blog favorite foreign correspondent Th'Mole burrows his way into the tracklist. You better check out Ep:12 you bumbaclart.

I'm not so much into the Beastie Boys these days, but when I was a lad they totally rubbed me the right way. I actually heard one of their new songs that halfway renewed my faith in them:
But what really gets my juices flowing is this futurey remix of the old Paul's Boutique track "Looking Down The Barrel Of A Gun" courtesy of Beat3 Productions. They were kind enough to send us a high quality MP3 and permission to make it downloadable. So here you go!
Hi! Man Bites Blog is back! Your old buddy, Nicolai, will still make contributions but now I, Th' Mole, will be helping out too (with additional writers coming soon). Yeehaw!
Just released today on Daly City Records, the new album from Zack Wright, AKA Deceptikon, is an epic collection of monstrous beats, buzzing basslines, and vocoded samples. Buy it here.
Download this special treat here. Not a podcast par se, Popoklatsch is a 30 minute mix featuring The Rolling Stones, Selda Bagcan, Ice Cube and many more acts from the hit parade. A musical odessy that straddles genre and time. Kent ihr das? Popoklatsch dass ist ja wahnsinn!
Amon Tobin and Doubleclick bring this 25 Minute Mix as Two Fingers. Hip Hop multiplied by bass to the power of glitch seems to be the formula here. Work it out for yourselves and download it.
Who is this guy? Wow, this is Fret-Wanking! The likes of which haven't been witnessed since Eddie Van Halen developed a taste for energy drinks.
I shall counter-act this act of musical self-flagellation by way of cultural juxtaposition.
Here's the mix I promised on the previous Podcast by Tehran. Mine's A Mujito is a devishly funky mix that if it were a drink would be one of those sickly fruity Um Bongo's. For a much more succint write up check the Bass Music blog. I'm off to watch that wackjob's related videos on Youtube.
Critics are calling it 'the best Harry Potter yet' and 'a very pleasant student to work with'. Look forward to Israeli beats courtesy of Ruff, Polish dubstep from SUPRA1, a song about Mr. Charlie's mill, and a Glaswegian choir doing Joy Devision.
Its all about hip hop. Thugged-out crunked-up boom bap from some of hip hops most progressive artists like Busdriver, Dj Quik & Kurupt. Beats will be big, you have my word on that. Rhymes will be tight, and production will be ill. So kick back and nod your f*cking head! BUT this being MBBP there's a few oddities thrown into the mix, just in case you thought it weren't gonna be eclectic. Download it here.
