like a good shit/wank this blog
has been coming for a long time, but it's worth it. im struggling here with hard drive problems, so
this will be the last blog from me in a while
until i get my head sorted out. there are many things i would
like to report but i think this is enough for
now. [[ i wondered about
leaving this blog until the new site was launched
- but i couldnt :) this
stuff is hot at the moment. YOU NEED THIS IN YOUR LIFE ]]

*the new site

as you may or may not know - boom
selection is changing. very soon (hopefully) boom
selection will be a fully fledged site for this sort of music, not just a disorangised blog. we're
trying to get some cool people involved and make it look as good as
possible, have the best mp3s and articles etc + a big community board.. should be very very good. if you think you can help in anyway - email me or mky
and tell us what you could do. and something
important - if cassette boy is reading this can you *please* get in touch,
as i would like your assistance and i don't know your email :) thanks.

*mp3 quality - most the mp3s on this site
are 64kbps/mono. you may be used to
128kbps/stereo. just a pointer for you all - THEY
ARE THE SAME QUALITY. the only difference is that
one is in mono and the other is in stereo. the
other difference is that one is half the size of the other - a must for
people with limited bandwidth/space/time. ok? so no more bitching - THEY ARE BROADCAST QUALITY. glad i got that off my chest
:)

*freelance hellraiser

right, time to sort out roy's business. he played the
cartel night as far as i know, but mky didn't see him dj. he may have seen him though. if
he looks like dom joly
:) anyway, last friday i
got 2 cds in the post from the freelance hellraiser. one was a cd of his xfm superchunk a few weeks back, and the other was a 'cd of bootys'. OMFG. just amazing quite simply. ive uploaded a few (click on the clickable ones)
but not all of them yet... i shall tease them. they are worth teasing. im hoping you lot will be able to email me the
titles of the songs i dont
know when i eventually upload them, or i might ask the fh for a tracklist. anyway, i dont need to write much
about these because YOU KNOW these are fantastic. get
them all now.

02_nelly
vs grange hill - dhu23hurih 23u
ihuiti2tgi4gy43tg43ogtu4 3huith4 i3uhtoiu34ht. bloody
amazing. i remember this
was played ages ago on steve lamacq,
before i knew about bootlegs and the freelance hellraiser. it's not until
recently when ive had emails requesting it, and
when i've searched on the net that i realised the freelance hellraiser
made it. its hilarious and will make you lol. [westwood]
you need this in your life baby [/westwood]

that was on his superchunk mix:

15_a
stroke of genie-us - anyone heard of this? :P
IMPORTANT: for all those who have emailed me asking for a better version of
a stroke of genie-us, without the dj talking -
HERE IT IS. this is the_dr's special edit -
mainly ripped from a cd, with a bit of the
original strokes record, a bit of the version broadcast on xfm a few weeks ago (cos the cd version was mixing into something else) - and a bit
of dr magic. 192kbps/stereo.
you may kiss my feet now :)

16_lick
pops (n*sync vs missy elliot)
- i love this. other
people dont. úberpop to perfection. its
crisp, produced to perfection - didn't the dance producer BT (not the phone
company) do this tune? very good. mixes into this next record but i
have seperated them...

17_i
just cant get enough pills (d12 vs depeche mode) - come on! its a
winner. im calling this
one 'i just cant get enough pills'. so so so
so good. more please.

*girls on top

can:) remember kurtis
rush's reworking of overload, with the vocals from forgot about dre? anyway, rich x talked to worldpop.com - so here's
the said article:

10.01.02

Sugababes' New Single

R&B popsters the Sugababes
will return this year with R Freaks Electric, which finds them hooking up
with bootleg soundclasher Rich X. R Freaks
Electric is the latest production from the mysterious Rich X, the man
behind Girls On Top, whose limited edition debut record - a soundclash bootleg mixing TLC's No Scrubs and the Human
League's Being Boiled, with a Kraftwerk/Whitney
Houston mash-up on the flip - caused a stir at Trash and on XFM when it was
released in early 2001. Late last year he released We Don't Give A Damn
About Our Friends/Warm Bitch, another Girls On Top 7-inch that mixed Adina Howard and Tubeway
Army. Now re-recorded with a Sugababes vocal, the
track is set to be officially released as R Freaks Electric on Island, and
marks the return of the girl group behind Overload and Soul Sound. worldpop spoke to the elusive
Mr X, and asked him how he ended up working with the Sugababes.
'It becomes an interesting project with them signing the song. I had many
offers to pick up the We Don't Give A Damn About Our Friends in its
original form, but I don't think anyone really thought it through, which
would realistically include re-recording the vocal with some s**t session
singer. They seemed keen just to throw money at it. The Sugababes
were great to work with, loved the Adina Howard
record when it was out and, beautifully, had no idea who Gary Numan is.' He added: 'To be honest, I'm not an
underground obsessive and I'd rather see these records get a bit further
than the thousand sales or so they achieve. As we know its
always good to have a few more leftfield things in the charts. And its faithful to the original, rough as old boots and
just a good vibing record.'

im feeling this. are you?

*soulwax

01_blackstreet
vs grandmaster flash - another one from the
fucking dewaele brothers. this
is good, theyve done loads more as well. theyll probably appear here sometime soon

*the evolution control committee/negativland/dictionaraoke

ive had quite a few emails
from these people. ive
not had chance to download much from them, its what i
would call the american version of this 'scene'. theyve been going since the
80s i suppose, and i
would say that its less accessable than the sort
of stuff on boom selection. ive emailed back a
few of the guys - ive still yet to reply to some
of them, but it all seems to be one big scene. anyway,
these guys seem to be positive about whats
happening atm, and i
will speak more about it when ive got my head
round it. but for now, heres
one person that emailed me with a very good (accessable)
tune that was inspired by my bootleg chart.

*quahogs!

01_smooth
window (aphex twin vs
michael jackson) -
FANTASTIC stuff. there seems to have been quite a
lot of michael jackson
bootlegs - its official michael jackson is the new missy elliot
:) anyway, a great booty. big up the man. check out his website
and blog.

it soon. he also sent me this little cutup that
one of his mates did. check it out:

*bit meddler

01_shitmix
2000 - now this is good. think kid 606
with the freelance hellraiser with cassette boy. i got recommended this by email,
so i downloaded this. its
the only version available on the net and its only 1min or something. the real version is 9mins. get
it anyway, its very cool.

*skkatter

01_maddona
is a filthy slut - remember this? this
was on a soulwax xfm
set a while back. EXCELLENT stuff, and the man who made it emailed me about
it the other day :) i downloaded it and couldnt stop listening since. get this NOW

*conway

01_smells
like missy elliot - ta for emailing me this one conway.
this appeared on the nme
top 10 bootlegs of 2001, and has been played my xfm
and steve lamacq! whicked. very
trash, very good - more coming soon happarently.

*kid 666

01_take
the piss on - recommended by email. missy
elliot messed with by kid 666 (kid 606 decided to
change his name just this once) for an album of missy bootlegs. superbitchfreakyfly or
something like that. search the net and you will
find - its even had a review in nme. its a good tune anyway, with a bit of a-ha's take on me at the end.

*unknown remixer - those too famous to reveal
their identity, and too lazy to think up a monkier

01_the
real billie jean (eminem
vs michael jackson) - ta to mky for this one. played by osymyso at the king of the boots night. good stuff.

02_q
tip vs michael jackson - this one is BIG at the moment. played on the remix, breezeblock and as the first track
of the evening for pete tong! is
it getting released? and who by? as toyah once said - its a mystewwee.

*pink

01_get
the party started (pink vs redman
vs eurythmics)
- an official remix, i think this might be the b
side to her single. its very of the moment this
sound, 80s influence, heavy beat and ever so slightly credible pop. no doubt have done a whole album of it - and this sees
pink stepping into their territory. on a slightly
different note - britney's new one is the best
pop song, nah - song, ive heard in AGES. i like the 'wada wa wa
wa da gonna' bit in the middle. anyway
- kudos to pink for using a classic tune as backing music, and to redman for being a great rapper (gotta
love that adam f album baby).

*frenchbloke
and son - theyve emailed me and i can confirm that this is class. club
records, ultimate cheese but remains ultra cool. accociated with the club optimo. they
obviously have a good sense of humour and i would
like to hear MORE. apparently theyve
done 2 cds of bootlegs. cúl. heres
a bit from their email listing what theyve done.

kraftwerk & right said fred,
ymo and whitney, limp bizkit and andreas dorau, vanilla ice and basement jaxx,
madonna and telex, kylie and depeche
mode, zombie nation and michael jackson, devo and missy elliot, tlc and omd, j-lo and lfo, yazoo and vitalic, chicks on
speed and destinys child

and heres 3 mp3s of their
songs:

*justin

[dead link, uploading soon] 01_fluffy
little shits (d12 vs orbital) - a cool
first bootleg by someone who emailed me. get this
now and chill out.

*65daysofstatic

01_white
noise christmas - cannot big up these
guys more. cool website, cool noises, cool stuff. thsi is their christmas tune and i reckon
its their best. theyre
doing big things at the moment - headline gigs, interest from record labels/mogwai's tour manager. one to
watch. i guarrentee they'll be on john peels show within a year.
i keep forgetting to
email them - but if youre reading this 'ta very much for the cool mini cd
i got sent just after xmas.
it contained this tune, which samples an obscure christina aguilera xmas song. mky
would also like to say thanks for his cd! download this now, spread the word and support them. OK?

*one-sided 12" by
unknown top-ten artist

(warning: contains some naughty words)

a while ago, somebody
called Ambient Sheep posted this
message on the Cook'd and Bomb'd message board about a certain 12" - mp3 of
it here.
i like it. nobody knows who really made it - apparently a famous
80s star. just ignore those who say it was Brian Connoley :)

A 12" single, in a
plain black sleeve, the only marking on it being a hand-written sticker the
record-shop had stuck on their own outer plastic sleeve saying:

I took the sleeve up to
the counter and asked about it. They said they couldn't play it for me as
it was basically a lot of swearing all the way through, but that it was
very funny and worth hearing. After looking at the actual record, and a bit
of umming and ahhing, I
splashed out the £2.79 or whatever it was and bought it.

It's WONDERFUL. It starts
off as a deathly dull late-70s/early-80s slow dance disco number, complete
with an Isaac Hayes / Barry White sort of voiceover going "Hey Baby, I
wanna tell you something deep and
meaningful" and so on. This is so convincing that most people I play
it to start to switch off, or make conversation, and I have to urge them to
no, keep listening.

The voiceover concludes
something like "So baby, I need to tell you what I really think of
you..."

Suddenly - over the same
slushy backing, which doesn't change a bit - a load of raucous white guys
start chanting:

"Fucking cunt, fucking cunt"

"Fucking cunt, fucking cunt
(awkward bastard)"

"Fucking cunt, fucking cunt"

"Fucking cunt, fucking cunt,
fucking cunt, fucking cunt,
CUUUUUNNNNNNTTTTTTTT!!!!!!"

*grubnuts

funny stuff - kazoo versions of zombie nation, the 'lovely' song
(consisting of the lyrics 'youre a twat'), and acapella versions of the trigger happy tv theme. b3ta.com favourites
and ultimate cheese. we salute you.
