This Week's Singles 18.02.13: Sweet Baboo, Fat White Family, Pick A Piper, Nick Cave
Of this week's single of the week, Wendy says: ".. this appears to be a song about how utterly boring life can be when you throw your lot in with someone else and discard all the spontaneity of early romance; it has lines about how Sweet Baboo is pleased that you categorise his life into 'little tiny piles', even though he still wants you to go and do something crazy - even though that's not How You Live. It also has a pleasingly original and internet-now video, that marries campy memes and real feelings even though you really shouldn't be able to do this. Basically, I put it on and then just grinned at it for the whole of its nearly-five-minutes."»
SAVAGE PIXELS #19: Colonial Marines and Gaming’s Hollywood Complex
Movies, into games, do not compute... often. As Aliens: Colonial Marines arrives after a protracted gestation - given its license, you might have thought it'd be bursting to get out there - Savage Pixels looks at tie-in hits and misses, and remembers some awful movies based on (actually pretty decent) games. Oh, and a Fantastic Five from the awesome Chipzel, who soundtracked Super Hexagon. Game on... over... on... over...»
Champion Sound #11: Feat. Exclusive Friendzone mix
If you didn’t notice already, hip hop has gotten weird. The sound of rap in 2013 is no longer shaped by baggy-jeaned Dre and Premier worshippers mining their parents funk and soul records, but is being made by kids who grew up on the internet, bombarded by a broad spectrum of culture. That isn’t meant to in any way to discredit hip hop production of the past thirty years, only to acknowledge that it’s an exciting time to be a rap fan. At the moment it feels like anything is possible, as new sounds are created with increasing frequency and old styles are revived from new perspectives.»

Push Every Other Band Away: Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Live Report
He moves like Jagger... scrap that, he moves more like Jagger’s shadow. Lithe, crooked, a controlled chaos, with these jutting motions that punctuate the syllable before the plosive sound. Threats, rather than eruptions, from a man who clearly has earthquakes juddering way down inside, alongside that hole where his soul used to be, and it’s from here that he warns you, seconds before the almost inevitable noise explodes»
