./november 18, 2001

i was sitting in the car bored today in a retail park
in basildon, and was listening to a few old tapes
that i'd found and wasn't sure what was on them. i found a few amusing renditions of various things,
including a grand piano, classical, & drawn out version of postman pat,
which i'd done in the old days on my old keyboard
:)

a little later i got bored, and switched over to the radio only to
find perhaps the funniest piece of music radio i
have ever heard in my life. it was an xfm show called 'the remix', which is
going to be a definate listen for me from now on.
as i am writing i am
finding more, and more cool things about this show on the website ''Eddy
Temple-Morris and James Hyman co-present The Remix –
“…where rock meets dance” - every Sunday afternoon, playing Xfm artists as you’ve
never quite heard them before along with The Superchunk,
a 30-minute special guest set ''. yes people. the same Eddy Temple-Morris who presented you with the,
indeed genius, 'Stroke of Genius'. faaaaantastic.

Anyway, seeing as the
track listings aren't out yet, i luckily made a
few notes of the tracks i heard on the back of a
comet catalogue.

The Remix - xfm
sunday 18th Nov 01 (between about 2:15pm & 3:15pm)

- Axel F vs Dj Pied Piper & The
Masters of Ceremonies - Do You Really Like It? (i
loved it indeed. i thought it was whicked) ROFL. one of the
funniest things i've ever heard

- Billie Jean vs some dude rapping. (quite
good. humourous, yet not exactly the best rapping
i've ever heard)

- some other 80's classics followed (one that
stood out was also included in the avalanches '97 breezeblcok
mix... #..i cant go for
that...#...if you know it)

- some thunderbirds sfx + scratching (lots of cúl scratching :)

- followed by some rapping. nice

- Walk Like An Egyptian. (ROFL very strange considerin
what features beforea/afterwards. genius)

- some jungle music. hard
bass.

- laid back hip hop stylee.

- Madonna - Dont Tell Me. (they are surely
taking the piss by now :) absolutely enthralling listening though.lol @ the rapping over the top. very cúl contrast #...niggas
in the east coast..# etc etc
:)

- Get Ur Faith On. (ROFL. can this mix get any better?...oh yesh my son...ohhh yesh :)

- Busta Rhymes - Knight Rider Theme Thing

- Inspector Gadget vs some whicked
rapping ( FUCKING AWESOME duuuude. i nearly crashed the car trying not to laugh out loud.
brilliance.) i gets better...

- Muppet Show Theme Tune vs hard core 'nigga' rapping ( once again i
really did find this absolutely hilarious. but very very
good nonetheless)

my remarks at the top seem less
hyperbolic now eh? genius.

./november 17, 2001

im off to see the only thing hyped more than the
strokes/stripes - harry potter. verdict later

jools holland wasnt
as bad as i thought. macy gray was good,
beta band were trippy man! and
the vines failed to fufil their hype but the did
make me laugh. "yea were the vines and we
come from sweden! ja!". garbage were
still shit though.

heres the tracklisting for that avalanaches set.

song of the moment: kid 606 - straight outta compton remix

fucking hell that
is excellence mky. my
sentiments exactly. i
find it hard to express the state of madness that i
am experiencing at the moment. the only way i can deal with it is escapsim
to the land of the_dr - where music is loud and
fun is to be had by all.

homework - fuck it

comedy last night was good. although a blatent rip-off of monty python.

ive had very very bad back
pain all day. not nice. not
nice at all.

in hmv
today i had my headphones on listening to aphex twin (selected ambient works II) while in the
background i could hear dj
otzi - doo waa diddy. lovely.
what was even more lovely is the security guards
looking over your shoulder every 5 minutes, pretending to look at some cds while they are secretly watching you. saw one person buying aphex -
bald & middle aged. oh well, each to their own
:)

65daysofstatic are cool from what ive heard of theirs (static 65), so is the new squarepusher track. ohmygod that is fantastic. sums
up the state of my mind as eliqantly as both the
avalanches mix and mky's speech did.

_43743874982343962387468723./.....././././././././.tv tonight

bbc1: 19:00 Children in Need

the anual shite fest
that is CIN. its comic relief without the comedy,
its eurovision without the credibility. its sad to see so many minor celebrities flaunting their
goods for all to see in such a small place. but
its for charide mate. oh
dear....

Guests include chart-topping acts Steps, Atomic Kitten and Hear'Say, Claire Sweeney with her own rendition of Get
Happy and Ricky Tomlinson on the banjo. Geri Halliwell,
Russell Watson and Sophie Ellis-Bextor will also
make an appearance, William G Stewart hosts a special edition of
Fifteen to One and there's a chance for viewers to vote for their favourite
Cliff Richard single.

bbc2(moved for CIN):19:30 Top of the Pops

Vernon Kay :( presents performances by Westlife
:(, Cher :(, Embrace :|, Beverley Knight :|, D-12 :),
Robbie Williams and Nicole Kidman :(, So Solid Crew :) and The Strokes
:DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD. should be good, they'll
probably play live.

bbc2: 23:35 Later with Jools Holland

after last weeks good show, tonight will be shite
(although maybe not). Macy Gray and Garbage. save
us all.

itv1:00:30 Dial-a-Date

marketed post-pub/club viewing presented by a failed bigger breakfast
presenter. funny for the desperation/minginess of contestants.

bbc2:01:25 Trevor Nelson's Urban
Choice

roots manuva features. cool.

itv1:02:30 Take the Mike

amazingly bad show, rightly on in the milkman slot. presented
by failed "Australian duo" Supergirly (aka a fat chick and a chinese
chick in ridiculously over the top comedy outfits showing more than we need
to see given their minginess).

buzz 88fm -
pirate station in manchester. plays
rap/rnb. appaulingly
bad :) good for a laugh though - especially the adverts which are quite
simply the funniest things i have ever heard:-

musicwithattitude.mp3

clubnight.mp3

upnorth.mp3 DOWNLOAD
THIS NOW

peace out. thank
you very much for listening.

current track: Osymyso -
Sod It, I'm Off To Hawaii!

feeling a little
fucked up</A

think about it.

hhhhanyway, I assumed this bloggin
stuff was going to be much less formal than dan's
last post. I feel like i've turned up in a 'no
fat chicks' t-shirt an trainers to find dan in full wedding suit and top hat.

last
night's
telly. . .

ho whiley - the cunt

macy gray - i'm sure she knows what she's talking about :)

sanchez - what a strangely shape-d head

white stripes - i like the setup of that band. it
almost seems as though they've choreographed it:

- the way meg turns her head to
the side and looks up at him

- the way she
drums seems rather cool, as if she's being overly gesticulate with her
arms. maybe it's just because she is fit as a
butcher's dog that am noticing these things :)

- bloke stripe's voice is very strangely enticing. i like it. i smell a rat. caustic
dude.

the world is not a muff

more bad, nigh awful, puns, innuendoes, and shite
plots please mr fleming.
notttt.

60
minutes summed up the exact contents of my grey matter for the past 4
weeks. 60 minutes of the most talented mixology.
60 minutes of the avalanches set on monday's
breezeblock. tracklisting
to come - but if you have audiogalaxy join this group and ask for the new avalanches set. fantastic. it even used some aphex twin and the missy elliot/dr
dre/george michael/get ur faith on combo that appeared
in my get ur mix on mp3. cant
stop listening to it.

got an email today from my
teacher's son who is in a cool band called 65daysofstatic.
he'd heard the freelance hellraiser
tune from my site and thought that both it and the website were cool. they
were chosen for in the city the other month and theyve
had some label interest so they are officially good :) check out the
website, the links page and the mp3s - all
very very very cool. (plus he thinks this site is 'dead good' so maybe im being a bit biased). im downloading some of their tracks now so i'll give my verdict later.

white stripes last night on jo whileys new show.... hmmm.
meg is still fit (although not as fit as she was
on jools holland) but i find jack whites voice strangely facicnating.
it sounds like hes in
great pain (especially when he sings 'i think i smell a rat'). very live. very strange.

tonights tv....

22:35 Question Time (piers "morgan"
moron is on :) should be fun)

ch4:23:45 Comedy Lab

ch4:00:00 Comedy Lab

bbc1:00:05 Liquid News

but you know you'll
end up watching... :D

ch5:23:45 European Blue Review

lastly, former citv
and wackaday presenter tommy
boyd is doing a radio show on local welsh radio
today for some bizzare reason. it
was reported on sunday that he would walk from talksport if the phone lines werent
fixed so maybe this realradio thing is a hint to
his future? expect all the regulars @ 10pm http://www.realradiofm.com/.

song of the moment:

this is the first ever post on the boom selection blog
(a mky & dr co
production). here we will give our hopefully witty
and insightful comments on life, music, tv and
whatever else takes our fancy. dont
expect quality material (we're saving that for the book) but do expect
mildly amusing stuff.

to mark the opening (oo err misses) of this blog i would like to recite the lyrics of the song that
inspire not only this blog, but our lives.

"I Said its time
for action, boom boom boom
selection, from the crowd a chemical reaction, boom boom
boom selection, can you feel the satisfaction,
boom boom boom
selection, this is a genius production, boom boom boom selection.

We Said its time for
action, boom boom boom
selection, from the crowd a chemical reaction, boom boom
boom selection, can you feel the satisfaction,
boom boom boom
selection, this is a genius production, boom boom boom selection.

Its Keflon drinking upon the bubbly, not Bacardi, Beer or
Brandy, quite frankly this rave be lively bass be bouncy, ready to taze me, yes Sean T, Trimmer, Copone,
and family, holding it down within this vacinity,

to pass my jacket or car keys , cos' this event
be uptempt an lively, killing me like the fugees softly, im in paradise
I see pictures of palm trees, security analysing it wisely, clearing out
the people acting rowdy, while I check out the women with the beauty, that
be Keflon's solemn duty.

Study the sound

and we just wanna party, we dont
wanna hurt nobody, we got the style and we got
the remedy, listen to my flow and my rhyming aguility,
this is the mic controller with ability, and the
sounds wha' call tranquility,

dominate the microphone just like Bruce Lee, come follow me cant beat me
join me, its me they call me MC Fizzy, we cant stop now the crowd be crazy,
all night long were gonna party, look at my rolley whats the time G.

I'm on a cruise from
here to Kathmandu, i'm on a move in my maroon
space cruise, I've done the dues ready for my revenue, revving cashflow hooked with the Genius Crew, yibby dibby da da I got the flava, hyping up all you hardcore ravers,
and I love the outragous behaviour, ya gotta shake yer what ya mumma gave ya, drinking the
booze making me feel new and improved, you aint
got a clue i'm digging this track like fossils,
from mansion to hostel i'm hearing this heavy
tune, causing the women to be sporting their Ann Summers costumes, I am the
one set the lyrical trend, I set the bass and the mix and the blend, I
intend to defend the mic to the end my friend,
its all about more benjamin's."
