15: The Corrupt and Corporate, Corn-Chips Incident. (Featuring Sooty.)

Welcome once again to the Stashhouse. I can only assume you have come here for the weekly re'up yo... Fo'real. You can  listen to another Classic DVC and MST Joint RIGHT HERE MAN.
 
While you're waiting for it to load... Do you ever think that in the same way that the earth's maganetic field collects Solar radiation (the very force of which causes it to bend and stretch out of shape and then occasionally snap back to deposit rafts of energised particles to the magnetic poles in a display known as the northern lights) it could also collect sexual energy.

That perhaps there is an undetected orgasmic shield around mother-earth, bent and twisted out of shape by the constant erotic heat of the sun. Could it also then be possbile that like the aura borealis occasionaly rafts of steamy particalls could come flooding down and land on Norway and Sweden and Denmark, and that this phenominon could be so localised as to be channelled towards a bus full of roller derby contestants, student nurses and perhaps a contingent of Russian ladies tennis professionals and that it could cause them all to perform a massive, collective and involuntary gasp of joy, and that this pleasure yelp could be loud enough to be heard around the world. Could it be that it would be so loud and so pure as to be heard by all the soldiers in all the world, from Afganistan to Mozambique, and all the Oil men and Bankers in new York and London strangling their consciences just to get ahead, and for one glorious moment they could think to themselves. What are we fighting for? Why are we struggling? Do we really need all this oil and money and fast cars and guns? No, we don't need anything, anything at all, except the chance to hear that sweet, sweet sound once again. An off they would go... North towards the frozen sky and a bus load of sirenic beauties...  and one by one, for lack of food and heat and money, they would die.

Maybe not.

Ok. Enough of that. On with the...

'One Cloud' by Beth Rowley
 Beth Rowley has never worked with Sooty and had she been live in the studio she would have been really excited to do so. Beth is kind of local but she's been quietly tapping on the door of global success for a little while now and I would bet that by this time next year she will be far too well known to fall into the remit of our little show. Beth's lawyers have told me that 'She does not have a serious sexual appetite' and that 'She would have no trouble resisting my charms'

'' by Babyhead
We spend ages talking about "Man Child" whose actual stage-name is "ManCub" Manchild was an awful sudo-political song that I think was about absent fathers (or drugs or something) sung by Nenah Cherry. I used to think Nenah sucked... and then I heard her brother Eagle Eye. His music made me want have The Eagles pull my eyes out and stuff them in my ears so I wouldn't have to hear it any more. I love The Eagles I also love Babyhead. Sadly, I got no love for the cherry family.


'Guilty Cocker Spaniels' by Modest Mouse
Spaceghost! Spaceghost!  Spaceghost! 
I seem to like bands from three main places. Bristol, Illinois and Seattle. I didn't plan for things to be be this way, it's just the way things panned out. Modest Mouse were named after a three day cyclocross event that the band tool part in. As a team they achieved a competitive time but were sadly beaten by a team of polite Canadians who told them they had a condition that prevented their teeth from ever stopping growing. The Canadians had to chew wood just to keep their teeth down, their team name was the modest mice.


Tannhäuser/Derive by Refused
This 8 minute epic is from 'The Shape of Punk to Come' quite a cocky title really. The opening lines to this track are 'So where do we go from here, just about anywhere' The same lines used in the first advert for the Tom Tom GPS device. Matt loves this album. I love my Sat Nav. Matt doesn't drive.

'Fables' by the Dodos
I'm gonna make the rest of this quick because  have to go visit my sister... but yeah! the Dodos. All very nice. I like the middle eightness of this band and also the kind of soundtrack to a Movie with Zach Braff in it vibe. It worries me that this could also appear in an episode of 90210 or something... but you could say that about Imagen Heap you know... and she's cool right... I mean you know... if you forget that she sounds a bit like Enya...  Ipod generation and all that. I cannot afford an Ipod.

'Welcome to the Black Parade' by My Chemical Romance
Matt picked this track against his better interests and thus we only played the intro.


'Saving Grace' By Tom Petty
Classic driving music. I'm starting to wonder if Matt and I's tastes in music have been subtly affected by the fact that I can drive and he can't. Matt will never understand the joy of pulling into fifth on the crest of a hill or that slow-burn adrenalin yeehaa of doing a ton on the M4 when your wife is asleep and thus not able to scream and tell you to slow down, he'll never learn to love the secretly addictive night-time rush that one gets from the flash of government speed camera when your cruising through a 30 zone at 8o miles an hour in a recently stolen 1979 Camero, before turning left into a shopping mall. wait that might have been GTA...

'I Fell Asleep on My Arm' by the Aquabats
I think that this kind of falls flat on me because I don't have the encyclopedic knowledge of Rap Metal that Matt does. I did find it pretty funny... but I guess it's kind of the same as him watching this. 

Goodnight sexy people. And Sexless people. Goodnight.

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.
