Radio Clash Podcast

Let’s rewind like it’s 1989 (and 1979 and 1999)!

Want to hear Little Boots covering Freddie Mercury?
Amiina (Sigur Ros’s string section, played on RC in the past) covering OMD?
Au Revoir Simone covering one of my favourite ELO songs (Here is the News)
AC Slater, probably the best remixer atm outside of Jackbeats remixing Prodigy?
Bonde de Role doing Pigbag?
Young Punx doing Clapping Song?
Nightwaves doing Phil Collins?
Good Books and Freezepop doing Yazoo?
JoolsMF remixing Gwen McCrae (heard good things about this from a mutual friend, and he’s a regular on Radio Clash).

Buffet Libre, who produced those excellent 80’s covers and remixes by modern bands from last year that I ‘rinsed’ like crazy on Radio Clash and my DJing online and off, have done it again - Buffet Libre Rewind 2.

Only listened to a few off the front page but already it’s HIGHLY recommended by me - highlights are the aforementioned current goldenboy of remixes AC Slater with his remix of The Prodigy (looks like the 80’s rule has been relaxed somewhat) and Bonde de Role’s funk carioca take on Pigbag

Are Ukes Electric?

Well no they aint but they can do stuff like this:

Thanks Andy for sending this to me!

Also found this great Uke cover by one of these guys of ‘Whatever Happened to Rock n Roll’!

Happy New Year 2020!

Happy New Year! No it’s not suddenly jumped forward to 2020 (after a year like that, I personally wouldn’t mind though) but a track by the The Herd. I featured them previously on the Radio Clash international hiphop show, they’ve got a great new video and like a few things reminds me of what’s going on with the shocking situation in Gaza - history repeats again and again, and people just don’t see to care, unless it affects them directly.

Hey hey I wanna be a popstar

Not new but just spotted this ‘researching’ the biggest selling singles of 2008…mostly biggest pieces of shite of 2008 - of which the original Nickleback tune was one big steaming one.

Weirdly how a parody + pictures + man in a dress says more about the sad cult of celebrity and the sorry state of pop than 10,000 articles…I hope in 2009 we lose this obsession with celebrity, because it has caused the very brainrot that probably has lead to the economic, political and intellectual crash of 2008.

Santastic 4 and DJNoNo get the Boston Props

timbearcub — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 18:13:06 +0000

Boston paper Weekly Dig has given props to DJNoNo and Santastic 4!

Muppets? John Denver? Do they KNOW what insanity they are dealing with here? LOL. Be very scared… In fact I came up with another Xmas tune on the 23rd, too late sadly. Next year?

Thanks! Santastic4 is still available to download, unless you’re totally maxed out on Xmess tunes….and the video hasn’t been attacked by angry Mariah Carey fans (yet).

Hope you had, and have, a good one!

2 Many DJ NoNo’s? (aka you are NOT the only DJ NoNo)

timbearcub — Sat, 27 Dec 2008 19:47:49 +0000

OK I’ve become aware that someone in L.A. is claiming to be The One And Only DJ NoNo - let it be known a) this is NOT ME and b) I’ve been using the DJ NoNo name since 2004 (blog goes back to early 2005, but I was using the name in 2004) so, no you are not ‘the One and Only’ DJ NoNo. The confuse stuff he seems to be doing hiphop mixes too, with those really cheesy radio-style intro stings. Ugh.

And there seems to be another one too (is this someone different?). Aargh I wish people would do a basic Google search and stop biting my name!

And anyway he has to line up - there’s already a DJ/Producer called DJ NoNo in Monaco (thought he was from Barcelona? Confusing language barrier) doing funky/minimal house, I only noticed him after he started appearing in Google alerts in 2007. He or I might have been first who knows - but up until now the different languages and styles have meant I never bumped into him and I’m perfectly amiable to share the name - his work won’t be confused for mine, and vice versa.

And his stuff is pretty good, when he popped up, I was embarassed that my DJ NoNo’s total muppetry might be making a mockery of his skills But at least he has the grace not to seemingly either be offended by my silliness or not to claim to be the only one…

Sigh…

Goodbye inspiration, Voice of a generation

It’s 6 years today since Joe Strummer died.

Just a note to mark the date, and to say the 5th anniversary mashup album from last year ‘This One’s For Joe‘ is still up and rolling. Thanks Joe!

Internet Breakdown…Googles in a boogle!

If you’ve not tuned into Rise and Shine, so far you’ve missed ladies made of Magma saving Christmas, missing cats, Paris goes to Belgium in a currently very fashionable Italian Euro Disco vocoder stylee and a punk Santa breakin’ the law, well internet tubes - with yours truly on sleighbells!

Quite interesting seeing/hearing the songs develop by the guest songwriters and video & chat contributors, they are moulded (or maybe forged in the heat of battle over 3 hours from 7pm to 10pm until Christmas Eve.

New songs will appear here:
