hi. im from west scotland too – airdrie. i was wondering if you could do me a bigg favour and tell me the websites that have information on the samples used on 3 feet high and rising. i already know about the eye know samples and the turtles one on trans live from mars, but id love to know more. i agree its a classic hip hop album, especially buddy. the combination of the drums bass and scratching fills is incredible – perfection. anyway id be very gratefull if you could tell me those websites.

cheers,

anthony.

At last…

Best blog I’ve found so far. Keep up the good work fella.

Is it ok if I steal Sea Cruise by the Specials to put on my site? I’d like to put it up with Robert Gordon’s version and John Holt’s version.

I can’t find a way to download the White Stripes show. ANy help? I would REALLY love to hear it. I missed going to this show and would love to be able to hear it.

Cool blog by the way. Good taste. I found you through Doctor Mooney.

Thanks

hi,

love the blog… wat else can I say..

I once had the full track to Jeff Buckley’s Just like a Woman (which you have labelled – ‘just like a warm up’). My computer was stolen and I have lost all my jeff rarities to the scum of the erth (who will never know or care about the likes of Jeff)… i cried- just like a baby..

Tears aside, I would like to know if you can put your hands on a full version of that.. I think the one you uploaded faded out at ”and your long time curse hurts” !!!…

But what’s worse, is that it ends just when the most, magical, orgasmic part of that song was about to happen!! You cant imagine! Theres even a bit of chatter at the end of it like ‘that was perfect…lets go home’

I would do anything for the full version of that version…. please do what you can…

by terry March 4, 2008 at 8:30 pm

Can you change the title of the link to our Jock n Roll site, please? It’s now simply http://www.jocknroll.co.uk and, as the polls are closed for now, it’s simply The Jock ‘n’ Roll Website.

P.S. I’ll add a link to your blog on the site. Seems only fair.

You can’t fool me hiding behind those cd’s sir!
I’d recognise you anywhere – brilliant site I might add!

by Bigstuff June 10, 2008 at 9:40 pm

I found your website after a mention in the L.A. CityBeat. In the half-hour or so that I’ve been cruising around (and downloading my fool ass off), this has become my favorite music blog. The term “embarrassment of riches” comes to mind.

Thank you so much for all the work you’ve been putting in to this. I will most certainly spread the word among my friends.

by David Z July 6, 2008 at 1:16 am

Thanks for Dylan Sings a Who. I came across it about 18 months ago but could never download it. Don’t understand Flash I guess. And then it went and I couldn’t find it anywhere else. So wherever you found it – well done. Tow of the finest artists of the late 20th century in one fab package.
But who was behind it? wasn’t it on some musical equipment site. Or drums anyway.
Keep up the good work, lots of great music here.

MICROTRIX ALBUM SAMPLER – MTRXCD001

Microtrix are a west London based musical collective with members from a variety of musical backgrounds’. Between them they have been involved in projects ranging from house and drum and bass to indie rock and even Manga film soundtracks.

This five-track promo is an introduction to their forthcoming album A DIFFERENT PLACE due for release later in the year.

“On The Radio“ is a twisted break beat house track, built around an infectious loop.

“On The Radio“ DAB Mix sustains more dance floor damage with a deeper straight up house mix.

“Can’t Believe” features the shimmering voice of Italian singer Ilaria Graziano mixed into a smooth electric cocktail bound together by a 2 step beat. This combination conjurers up the spine tingling sensations of a long hot summers night.

“Closer – V Edit” with Adam Parker on vocals this is the tale of a bitter relationship turning toxic. It’s a heavy duty straight up electro rocker with guitar and piano. A promo video directed by the acclaimed director Winstan Whitter is on its way.

“Closer Instrumental” as it says on the label this is an extended instrumental version losing the guitars and vocals leaving a spacious electro groove.

The release of the album A DIFFERENT PLACE is due towards the end of the summer although you can expect another sampler with extra mixes before that.

More on that and live shows soon…………

‘Cocktails’ by The Green Shroud

in June 2009 we’re releasing ‘Cocktails’, an album haunted by the ghosts of Miles Davis, Stan Getz, Henry Mancini & Serge Gainsbourg, and served up with an electronic twist.

We were wondering if you would like a promotional copy, and if you would post a track or so on the blog if you liked it?

by The Green Shroud April 6, 2009 at 1:28 pm

First of all.. LOVE the blog.

Wondering- is there anyway to update any of the older links- says you’re out of bandwith.

You have a ton of Jeff buckley stuff i”d love to DL .

THanks!

by Christine April 15, 2009 at 11:14 pm

Hey there, we’d love to get some coverage on POP cause that’s what we do (mostly) – indie pop.

Hello,
I couldn’t find any contact e-mail, but here goes.
Me and some friends [we're all from Chile] have a webmag about different arts…
Thing is, I’m the music section editor, and wanted to ask if you could collaborate with a piece, for the mag, on The La’s [I adore that band, but sadly, no one here knows them, so I wanted to do some sort of "rescue", and present them to chileans. We did something similar with The JAMC].
Sadly, we’re all students, so we can’t offer anything back, other than a firm hand-shake…
And, also, I’d have to translate the essay to Spanish.
Send us an e-mail if you’re interested, and I’ll fill you in on more details.
Thanks,

Cheers

by Maca Acuña Kitto July 8, 2009 at 6:58 pm

Hey hey hey I would like to submit music to this place in the vague hopes that you might listen to it, but I can’t! Anyway you can hear somethings at http://www.myspace.com/musicsoundsbetterincolor and maybe if you like it you could maybe hit me up and I’ll totally mp3 you up with some stuff! Awesomes.

by fc3 October 22, 2009 at 5:15 pm

Alright there. Just reading about & downloading the Beck doing Velvet Underground & Nico & the comment about some bits sounding like The Beta Band got me thinking about a session they did in ’97 for the Radio 1′s Evening Session. One of the tracks was on a cassette that came with the NME or Melody Maker a few months later. The track, Shepherds Dub has always been one of my faves, mixing the famed pots & pans sound with all sorts of sampling & percussion tomfoolery & a nice big bass-line to boot. I’ve always wanted to hear the rest of the session but never have….. Any chance you have a recording of it because like The La’s Kitchen Tape before it, it’s a holy grail i need to find!

by Muddy December 24, 2009 at 1:20 am

Hi I found your Amy Winehouse and Zalon mention on Hypem, I found out that Zalon has his own tracks one is Attention – can be downloaded and listened to http://www.megaupload.com/?d=FMWQOMJD

This is the best, most thorough music site I have ever encountered. Question: I downloaded some RAR folders and the music files come out as WMA… is it possible for me to convert them to MP3?

by Max January 19, 2010 at 5:34 pm

I’ve been reading your blog for fewer than five minutes and I’m already in love with your style. Great stuff…you have a new dedicated reader for sure.

by Sara January 23, 2010 at 12:38 am

Somehow I missed the Saint Etienne Boxette CD’s. I am a big fan, and have all their studio records. Any chance of reposting Boxette? I’ve clicked on the Cd1 Cd2 Cd2&3 links and doesn’t seem to work. Would be very grateful if there is anything you could do. Thanks, David in New York
Thanks for all your generous gifts of music.

by Lomi March 24, 2010 at 6:21 am

Hi Phil,

Strange question I know but it’s really bugging me and I can’t find the answer anywhere. I’m thinking you’ll probably know it.

Exactly where was the house in Devon, that the La’s Kitchen Tapes were recorded? I ask becuase I live in Devon, in a seaside town and it would be amazing to think that Mavers and Co recorded the tapes in my home town.

Hello, my name is Daniel Pam Brazilian songwriter currently based in Barcelona, Spain. First of all, thank you very much for the job that you’ve been doing, you are making a really important bridge between bands and listeners, in a very democratic and clear way. After so many years being squeezed by the record labels we can finally see a significant change into the music scenario….uhuu!!! Viva la revolucion!!!

The reason that I writing you it’s because I’ve just released my first solo Album “sense of self”, after 15 years working with many different bands in Brazil, UK and Spain. Basically It’s a Brazilian funk fusion. There are songs in English, Portuguese and Spanish.
I’d love to have my album available in Plain and Pan,please let me know if you are interested and I could send the tracks over for you.
If you want to check them, you can visit my Youtube channel at the link bellow.

Hey Plain or Pan,

Love your blog and recently loved your article on Tim Buckley,
I know you don’t often write about new rising artists but I wandered if you could take a look at this. If you are interested in Tim and Jeff Buckley then I suspect it may just be of interest to you:

__________
Luke De-Sciscio’s sound is as ethereal as it is engaging. Lyrics that could easily stand alone as flawless pieces of poetry are enveloped in exquisite melodies, that are not only passionately written, but passionately delivered.

Luke De-Sciscio’s songs are honest and viscerally beautiful and his voice hints at a talent unseen since Jeff Buckley.

Luke De-Sciscio not only has the talent but is beginning to amass the credit that such talent deserves, when a recent duet with folk starlet Audrey Aroha was blogged about by several online music blogs no one anticipated that it would spend the next 7 days in the Hype Machine chart for the most tweeted about tracks on twitter, let alone in the top 10 (peaking at number 8.)

The track, ‘I Could Not Feel More Than I Do Now,’ which was written by Luke De-Sciscio for the pair showed an evolution in his songwriting ability, a small jump that his gave his alternative sound a more engaging, audience friendly appeal. It appears then that Luke De-Sciscio is rapidly becoming a very important songwriter as his latest track, ‘Happy New Year, I Love You’ continues this trend.

‘Happy New Year, I Love You,’ was written and recorded on the first day of this year, but its appeal is a valid now as it was then and it was as valid then as it will be in 6 months time, purely because the track is staggeringly beautiful AND nearly impossible to stop listening to.
_____________

Here is the link to the second song the piece mentions: http://soundcloud.com/lukedofficial/happy-new-year-i-love-you

Kind regards,

Sol

Southbound Drive is an Austin-born Rock Experience. Four members, built by the lyrics of Scott Collins, explore the senses through a strong use of melody, anthemic choruses, and pounding rhythms.

Dear Plain or Pan,

We are bored to death and we need help. We have a lousy office job and we want to change our lives drastically. Instead of being in front of our computers, mindlessly processing data all day, we want to be rockstars. That’s why we send you this, perhaps a bit pathetic, e-mail. We hope that you’ll be willing to help us. We don’t ask much. All we’d like you to do is listen to this music and share it with your followers. We don’t care whether we’ll make it to the top 10 of the charts or not: all we really want is to get out of this terrible office!
Your contribution to this quest will be highly appreciated.

Kind regards,

In celebration of Halloween, this October Dexter Strangeways will be unleashing three appropriately ominous tracks on his public and making each one freely available for download leading up to a bone chilling live performance at Camden’s Dublin Castle on All Hallows Eve.

Where the Bodies are Buried
download here:
http://www.facebook.com/dexterstrangeways/app_2405167945

This is the first of three Cinematic tracks recorded by London based, Alternative balladeer, Dexter Strangeways; a cinematic 60’s Noir, ballad singer with an insidious undercurrent.
Live Shows are Supported by a six piece band, including a live string section. Dexter lights his way through the catacombs of the night with shimmering torchsongs.
Think Scott Walker meets Phil Spector with Joe Meek, Roy Orbison, Lana Del Rey, Portishead, Nick Cave, Tarantino and David Lynch.

Hey Plain or Pan,

Faster can be streamed/downloaded for free at either:

The video for Faster can be seen here:

This winter we will be releasing our second LP, The Progression of Digression. On this record we will further examine the themes explored on our first record, Etc, but sonically, The Progression of Digression will differ tremendously from our previous exploits, offering a fine rain of cryptic detail, densely layered programming, and hovering vocal grace that lay within infectious rhythms.

If you have enjoyed our music and are interested in our next record please contact us and we will send you a free promotional copy prior to the release date.

http://music.et-cet-era.com/album/the-progression-of-digression
https://soundcloud.com/etceter4/sets/the-progression-of-digression

The Progression of Digression, &c.’s second LP, offers a fine rain of cryptic detail, densely layered programming, and hovering vocal grace that lay within infectious rhythms. Described by Son of Marketing as “an audio experience with undefined outlines, where drum machines and synthesizers play alongside minimalistic and repetitive components accentuated by a vocal section often elusive. The synthesis of these elements leads to a picture blurred, foggy, which leaves the senses hovering in an almost anxiety.”

Although intended to be listened to in full you may usher your attention to: Tear, Transmission, Midnight, Faster, & Slip

If you have enjoyed our music and are interested in our next record please contact us and we will send you a free promotional copy prior to the release date.

Yo!

Couldn’t find a contact email, but I’ll join the spamming bandwagon hahaha.

My band “The Thirstbusters” is releasing a new music video on February 19 for “Bad Bad Girl.” We love the music you post, and think you might like ours as well. I think we kinda fit into the whole retro sound with this one. I’ll send the updated link as soon as we have it, and am happy to provide more information.

Thanks so much for listening. Keep it up!

Hey,

Whosarmy just released a five-song EP “Hole in my Heart”, produced by Gavin Brown. We’d love you to review it.

Thanks

Hey there,

I noticed that your blog covers acoustic music, so I think my music would fit your site well. My latest song, “Day of Rest” is a long, lyrical duet that builds to an anthemic end. My friend Sarah did an outstanding job on vocals! http://soundcloud.com/thespeechlessradio/

That song is part of a new album I am releasing soon, called “Care”. It will be released for free online on February 24 at http://thespeechlessradio.bandcamp.com/album/care . If you would like to review the album, I can send you a copy in advance.

I am a singer/songwriter based out of Vancouver and Prince George, BC. I play most of the instruments for my songs, and record them myself. I hope you like what you hear, and feel free to share my free music with others. I do this because I love recording my own work, and I love letting people own my music for free.

If you want to know more about me, Discorder Magazine ran an article about me in November: http://www.discorder.ca/discorder-magazine/index.php/2012/11/09/the-speechless-radio/

Cheers,
Michael Elder

in Four Culture, Louder Than War and Big Cheese magazines.

Their seriously in your face live shows have already seen them receiving great acclaim as they opened for Echo & The Bunnymen, Pop will Eat Itself, A Place To Bury Strangers
and Sigue Sigue Sputnik and a sell out headline show at Alan McGee’s Death2Disco.

With festival appearances being offered for 2013 and the finishing touches being put on their debut album, Calling All Astronauts are without doubt ones to watch this year.
