Mr. Speaker

Easter has come early ’round these parts - a brand new chocolate egg of audio treats for you - from me. Well actually, us this time: Mr Speaker has joined forces with the magical man of musical mgoodness - Tom Birchnell - to form Computadors.

Our first mission, which we chose to accept, was to remix kick-arse rock’n'rollers The Great Apes. Not just any tune, but the weirdly time-signed monster: Don’t Get It. Our version, Don’t Get It Remixed, is a confusing mash of dub, chip-tune, and hammond organ - with some filthy analog bass, and some chocolate Dr. Beat sprinkles for good measure.

As part of The Great Freepression that is sweeping the globe, you can listen to it and download it for just the cost of your bandwidth at Last.FM: Computadors VS Great Apes: Don’t Get It Remixed

Yes, yes, yes… It’s been a LONG time since the last post in the Earwax category. It’s not that I haven’t been doing any tracks - It’s that I haven’t been finishing them. I’ve explained about my attention span before, I’m sure.

Anyway, here I present to you a glitchy, bell-y piece I’m pretty happy with - I’d been toying with the ideas in it for a while, and plopped it out on the long weekend (which seems like it was oh-so-long-ago now).

It’s called Happy (Hardcore). But it’s not particularly happy or hardcore. And certainly isn’t Happy Hardcore. Pffft. Whatever.

You know the saying “Beware the day that’s five days before the Ides of March”? Well today is the day that day. And in-keeping with the annual traditional that dates back to the time of the 486 (some say even earlier) I am releasing karaoke backing tracks that I have messed around with in a sound editor.

The tracks may be fairly unlistenable, but consider yourself fortunate that I had forgotten about the “Nones of March” annual tradition. That can be challenging at best.

Fakin’ n Jumpin - released under my spinnin’ moniker, DJ RevolvesIt. Well, not really. [~1.8Mb, mp3].

EyeOfTheBooty - I don’t know what happened here. I’m sorry. [~1.9Mb, mp3].

Let me know if you require more information on the Five-days-before-the-Ides-of-March-karaoke-cut-up’s origin. I warn you though, it’s a sizeable tale. Happy V Ides.

A crazy breaks and broken mash of noise and things. Featuring BaikinMan on vocals, this track packs quite an “an-pun-chi”.

The Young And The Wrestlers [~3.0Mb, mp3].

Another not so new track. Thought I’d whack it up. Non-breaking space was getting a swag of radio play on Sydney’s fbi radio, which was fun.

Clikity cricks and trickles with too much reverb but lovely beats. And you can never have too much reverb.

New track from Mr. Speaker. Nightsoil is an awfully lovely synthy clicky thing. Do have a listen!
