3: The Dubstep Special

You can hear our world famous Dubstep Special HERE

Matt picked all the tracks for this show which he promised me would be all Dubstep and that we would do our best to explore this fascinating and cool fresh and above all local style of music. Apparently he lied. By the end of the show it was clear that this was our 'Dubstep Free Special' as we cruised through another hour without playing any Dubstep at all.

Here for your reading pleasure is the world famous track listings...

'Recording Device' By Babyhead
On the show Matt tells an elaborate story about this local 'SkRap' band, He claims that they broke up and then got back together because of problems with the brass section, but according to thier website They never broke up, and the confusion arose due to the fact that they titled their 2008 show 'The End of Babyhead?' it turns out that the answer to that question was 'No... No it isn't'

'The Gentle Art of Making Enemies' by Faith No More
Crooning Rock sung straight faced by the versatile front man Mike Patton. Mike wasn't the first person to sing for Faith No More, before they broke through to the big time Faith No More were fronted by, the Yoko Ono of Grunge Courtney Love. It's old, it's Classic, it's Faith No More.

'Pawn Shop' by Sublime
According to Matt 'They're a famous, kind of orange county kind of um.. ska punky kind of California band.' According to me 'Sublime were formed in 1987 when their manager, Dr Lou Gehrig who was also a baseball player decided he would turn his equally muscled and skilled hands, to playing guitar' I like my version better even if it isn't true. mmmm... Muscled Hands

'Puppies in Love' by the Love Puppies (Actually 'Carpe Diem' by WilHaven)
Heavy like the crushed heart of the sun, like the water of the Mariana Trench, Heavy like the bleeding eyes of the first man to see the face of the anti-christ. HEAVY. Like the future imagined by Dr Emmett Brown. like a T-Rex footfall. Like the smell in the air on the eve of nuclear war. That's heavy man. That's Wilhaven.

'Economics 101 (the Natal Lottery)' by Clayton Blizzard
'Change doesn't trickle down to us it rises up like dust so stamp your feet!'
Clayton is a local artist that is frickin' awesome, witty, political, clever and utterly amazing live. One day we will have Clayton on the show and all me and Matt will be able to do is giggle and prod him occasionally to see if he's really there. go to his website.

'Night Letters' by Propagandhi
No false Gandhi's here! These guys are from Canada a land of lakes, beavers, massive trees and two of my favourite novelists (Douglas Coupland and Matt Hooton). In 1998 Canada had a GDP of 1.4 trillion US dollars and had never started a war. It has however perpetrated a very under-reported series of atrocities against what we call the 'First Nations People'. In Canada there are forests the size of Europe. Think about that for a second. Europe dude. That's pretty massive.

'MX' by the Deftones
The Deftones are from Sacramento, California. This semi secret song from the end of the Around the Fur album is a kind of frustrated and uncomfortably sexy durge. There is sexy lady in the background who takes time out of her busy day to encourage him to keep singing. She seems to imply that if he follows through with her instructions there might be an unspecified reward in it for him.

Thank you for listening. Thank you for reading. I'm gonna go ride my bike through the woods. I'm 30 years old, but I still know how to have fun. good clean dubstepless fun.
