tomorrow its december

hell.o

following the recent launch of the ireallylovemusic messageboard (slackers and lurkers welcome) i inadvertedly reverted back to my 16 year old angst ridden hormonal entity. yes, its been a constant diet of linkin park and limp bizkit this week. strangely the linkin park remix album does good things, all that major label production, underground hip hop, electro styles is actually makes for a pretty damn fine listen. all of which meant that i decided to venture into the world of fort minor, the new hiphop offspring by mike s from linkin park. while its not a great album it's not bad at all. but, after a few days of over the top production and 'oh my parents hate me' styled anger i needed to feel revitalised.

helllooooooo the scaramanga six.

weeks go by and i forget just how much i love their latest album, 'cabin fever' (out now properly), the sheer force of their pomposity, aural assault and taste for the macabre, both gets the blood rushing as well as putting a bad tempered grin on my face. the fact that the band with all the recent focus on leeds have been totally ignored is just beyond belief for me. guess they are just too awkward to fit any media friendly demographic, or, is it just that the band are actually shit? umm. no they are great. whatever, i care not. i'm off to spin their punked up pop masterpiece 'we rode the storm' once again, and fuck'em all.
