Literally the minute I posted that last post I thought I would search just to make sure I hadn't missed anything, and guess what I HAD. Here is yet another 'I Know' - James Blake. Enjoy! (again)

Again
It seems as though every week that goes by there is a new amazing James Blake track that I've missed, anyway here is a new one called 'Unluck'. I've just ordered CMYK on vinyl as well, trying to think if there are any records I've missed. I don't think so I even ended up ordering The Bells Sketch EP twice by accident! Oh well hopefully it will become super valuable in years to come. Enjoy!
Time to learn.
I've decided I want to be in a New Orleans' Brass Band, so I better start learning a brass instrument. Of Course this isn't a new phenomenon, The Dirty Dozen Brass band & The Rebirth Brass band have been killing it for ages, but the recent popularity of The Hot 8 Brass Band thanks to their cover of 'Sexual Healing' and The Youngblood Brass Band, have seen a rise in commercial value for Brass Bands.
For me the energy is never as authentic as when you see it in the proper setting of New Orleans, something I would love to do in real life, but for now I'll just have to settle for watching videos of it on youtube. Anyways there is a great youtube channel called 'Big Red Cotton' which is well worth checking out. It shows lots of different Brass Bands and 'second lines'(some amazing dancers). The following video is one of my favorites, it is The TBC Brass Band peforming '9mm' a David Banner cover, a song I wasn't familiar with but having listened to it since I can safely say that the TBC's version is far far superior. Enjoy!

Summer's Coming...
Summer is on its way and hopefully it will be a sunny one this year. Anyway even if the weather is British you can always import some sunshine into your life by listening to Quantic's latest offering. Releasing yet again under the pseudonym of Quantic presenta Flowering Inferno, "Dog With A Rope", out as a digital single on 7th June, is the first taste of the forthcoming album of the same name by Quantic Presenta Flowering Inferno.
Tasty little dub, reggae, latin numbers the lead single Dog With A Rope will make a great summer anthem, I prefer the dub version though, a little more 'chilled'. Anyway the real choice cut is the (digital) b-side "Dub y Guaguanco". Just makes me wanna salsa! I can't but if I could, I would. Anyway check the single when it is released, and if you like what you hear or just generally enjoy Quantic's Stuff then why not go and see Will Holland live, @ Quantic and his Combo Bárbaro’s UK/European tour in summer, including a high profile Glastonbury set. Enjoy!
