osymyso - cut up nonsense b side to osymyso's pat n peg (i think)
- and it's pretty self decriptive. great fun - samples from all over the place, following
pat n pegs success. osssssymyyysoooogoooodnessss

freelance hellraiser - star
wars vs hatiris im
not too sure whether it's star wars that has been mixed with hatris' space invader, but anyway this is an exclusive,
in the sense that i don't think it's been on the
net before. taken from one of the freelance hellraiser cdrs we have
obtained :) it's an interesting mix - it's got one of the best intros of a
bootleg i've heard. more
of these to come - it's amazing that none of these have got onto the net
before cos he is the don of bootys.

<< this happened today (friday)
for mixmag. i
was very nearly in this photograph. living outside
the m25 is a bastard. "i have nothing
more to add" >>

coldcut - re:volution

a great tune from last year from the gods of ninja tune, solid steel and
just about everything else. samples of big ben, william hague and of course that now famous clip of tony "the lunatics are taking over the
asylum" blair. very
apt for KOTB :)

dj pantshead
- love shag

from the evolution control committee who, as far as I know, made the first
ever acapella/instrumental bootleg (rebel without
a pause). this track is brand new, and as you
would imagine excellently produced - and i must
say quite influenced by recent avalanche of uk bootlegs. really
very good. bits included in the mix: b-52s

the remix tonight, andy
weatherhall set from the latest remix night which
happened on thursday.

right, heres the situation:

ive not done any updates recently cos ive been really busy with
a few things - interviews (for just about every magazine going), the new
site (which is just around the corner, as soon as i
can get my arse into gear) and the boom selection cds
(details soon to be announced).

as well as that, im planning a couple of special updates on this current
site before we change over to the new boom. ive got pleantly of
stuff to put up - you keep on sending me this fucking ace stuff, its just a
matter of choosing what to put up. it will all be up in due course (i use the term 'all' loosely cos
some of its just shite :), but my problem is what
to do in the meantime - before the new site launches. i
have decided to put up one mp3 per night, and each will be featuring on the
(plug plug) forthcoming boom selection cds. tonights is...

flashbulb - ll cool j mamma
said knock you out - dont anything about this, other than
this mp3. american
origin no doubt, and damn fine stuff it is too. a
kid606/bit meddler style reinterpretation of ll
cool j.

ps. apologies to st winifreds school fire (fantastic name), who i didn't credit for creating the vanilla ice vs the strokes booty. also,
the other track mixed in wasnt beats
international - it was the incredible bongo band. how
foolish of me! its recived
quite a bit of publicity, plays on xfm and in
some clubs - even mentioned in a guardian column (mannion:
Jacques Peretti - the perennial meejahore zeitgeist observer type dude's colum in The Guide no less).

pps. could
'Alonzo Mosely' who was responsible for that
specials vs the streets (Let's ghost things
forward) bootleg played on the remix on friday
send me an mp3 or cd of it! love
it.

lotttttttttttttttts of stuff.

firstly, much respect has to go to the remix
cru for playing my little track at the start of the show. also, the gauntlet was layed
down. i have delivered
:); during our 5 plugs during the remix this week [haha.
mutual bumlicking. nice one anyway.] mssrs hyman and temple morris said this ->boomshout#3. so, something to show your mum to make her proud james, and, as eddie
comments, "word".

<>

haha. dont
ask how we did it. suffice to say, i needed boards of canada - geodaddi [major ambient chill] and
thought, fuck it, i'll kill two boards (sic) with
one stone.

both steve 'fuck you nme, fuck you' mannion and myself've got the album ages ago. tis worth it, if purely for cd2, though there are
a few gems on 1 & 3. plug plug.
awwooga. flashing lights, sycophancy police've
just arrested me.

here's a little mp3
offering that's on the cd; the
james lavelle remix of
planet telex - a fucking classic radiohead
track in my opinion, so the remix may seem poor in comparison, but i reckon it's a pretty nice, chilled, twist. strangely i'd got it off audiogalaxy a fair bit before i
even knew it was on the cd. dont start me on the unkle
album. e-e-essential.

furtherly. i was loving eating
my crisps and loafing like a badger on sunday
whilst reading the times' [oh yesh, i'm going up in the world. remove from casing, break,
and shove your memorial plates up yer arse daily
mail] "tv and radio guide"
"play" and came across a brilliant bitesized
article about mr grandmaster flash. one of my favourite bits from it is Words of wisdom
"A scratch is nothing but the back-cueing that you hear in your ear
before you push it out to the crowd. All you have to know is mathematically
how many times to scratch it and when to let it go."

check out the whole article here
anything else? yes. bouy.

[message
from the_dr, bouyyy]

lamacq live documentary, next monday,
11pm, radio 1. a documentary
about bootleg culture. should be fun. both me n steve were asked to
contribute and we were more than willing but they never got back to us :) (sob...). anyway, watch out for
hearing from just about everybody else - i assume
freelance, rich x, osymyso, soulwax
will be on it.. lets see eh :)

[/the_dr]

fully bombarded you left right and
centre. i have a bootleg
introduction page coming soon, i'm shit at html,
but it'll be nice for the people who want to get all the classics and dont want to piss around finding urls
from everywhere.

*best bootlegs in the world.... ever!

thanks to all who sent in tracklists
for this cd. it appears
someone, who apparently lives in camden, has been downloading some
bootlegs (mainly from here) and putting out this cd.
some people not very happy with it - permissions
from the bootleggers were not asked and we assume the person behind it is
making quite a bit from it. but, that is the
nature of bootlegging itself, and it is hypocritical for people to
complain. what is clear is that this cd is of pretty poor quality - tracks fading down, low
sound levels, mis-credited tracks. theres also a hidden track at
the end, nelly vs
grange hill. all in all, not worth the 10 quid. as mannion says - stay tuned
:)

R&B band with a punk sensibility.I understand
that one of their two drummers is the nephew of Jack & Meg White (The
White Stripes).

The CD that track came off of, "Ultraglide
