The Futureproof Cuddling Pop Blog By Paul Pious James Deman Giovanni £rd...: THIS WEEKS HITS

Another week, another couple of million more profiles to trawl through, as this web within a web continues to expand like an extended family of very horny rabbits who respond positively to every Viagra junk email they recieve...

For me, last week (my first on this music only myspace) was all about getting established and making friends with acts I was mostly aware of.. This week i've been able to stretch out a little and hunt new talent down. I must have listened through around 100 or more and have found some gems..

NEW TO ME

A whole bunch of this weeks hits came from the Top 20 friends of Dan Le Sac I got there after hearing his collaboration with Scrobious Pip which can be found HERE

Thou Shalt Always Kill is a blinder of a track. Like all clever manifestos, it could get boring after a few plays, but it doesn't for me because of the fantastic music behind it.

To get to the bottom of this, I went after Mr Le Sac himself and amidst his freinds, found a whole host of absolute gems

Yila

Nathan Fake

Jackamo Brown

and

Black Victory are my favourites...

With the exception of Jackamo Brown these are all very electronic and vary from relatively quiet and sweet to downright loud and hardcore. The comon thread is they are all very fine indeed, so throw away that Klaxons shit and go see theirspaces right now....

As for King Le Sac: I can see a less than orderly queue of more well known artists clutching surfboards and forming at his studio door. Don't be at all surprised if he ends up in a similar position to Dangermouse in a few years time..that is if he wants to go there.

In terms of vocal and more traditional tones...The very best I can recommend this week is Adele Given the contemporary taste for gutsy female singers, it would be an absolute crime if Adelle isn't soon a big star. The lyrics and delivery on show on herspace are absolute top fucking draw..Think Amy Winehouse + some

STAPLES??

No staples this week - no time.

LIVE

After a couple of weeks break I went in the audience for The Culture Show again this week.

The show, to be broadcast this Saturday on BBC2 is not only worth checking out because there's plenty about David Lynch AND Bryan Ferry playing Bob Dylan (+++) but also because I get a brief moment of glory recomending the shed where the K Foundation burnt their million £ is awarded a Culture Show plaque....(My head is swelling badly as i write this)

To read a full review of Ferry and the other band of the day Maximo Park, please check the spcific blog entry which will appear later on today....

Lastly, a special mention for Dion McGregor
Described as 'Acapella' this is infact the best juvenile humour since Derek & Clive...ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL LISTENING!
