Triple Cooked Blips and The Dirty Wizard - February 2011

Another Guest Blip winging its way towards your very-nearly-springtime eardrums. Sit back and enjoy these 13 delicacies from Triple Cooked Blips and The Dirty Wizard!

1. Toro Y Moi - Go With You

Oooh…mmm. From his album Underneath The Pines just out. Also listen to ‘Blessa’ from his old album, about which someone commented “did someone just have sex in my ear?’

2. Jai Paul – BTSTU

A mucky, angelic, sneaky little dubby number.

3. Man Like Me – Carny

Not summer yet but when it is….(very underrated group, also listen to ‘London Town’)

4. James Blake – I Only Know Now (What I Know)

If you’ve ever visited an old house that you used to live in, or met with an ex-girlfriend, this song is a bit like that feels. This song’s from an older EP but his debut album just came out. He’s no longer underground but the poster of his album is.

5. Warpaint – Billie Holiday

Building and rolling, a bit like a wave…(the wave sound effects probably appropriate then. actually I think they’re cars…whoops.) Also, Sister Act lyrics just thrown in there casual like. Right good. See also their album The Fool.

6. Burial – Shell of Light (Album – ‘Untrue’)

A couple of years old but for those who don’t know and a reminder for those who do: a special one from a special album. This is the sound of London. Him n’ Banksy, yeah, should like…

7. Adam F (feat. MC Conrad) – F-Jam

A real oldie: this was before he started producing heavy rap. From the album Colours, the finest drum n’ bass album, where he merged New Age with d n’ b. Get familiar with the intro and say it whilst cycling and then when the base kicks in pedal really really hard (if you have a bike).

8. Oneohtrix Point Never – Returnal (voice by Anthony Hegarty)

Spine-tinglingly beautiful. Almost holy. This is actually a different version (with the guy from Anthony & The Johnsons singing) of a song that is more synthy and blade runnery, which is just as good. Be sure to listen to that version too.

9. Simply Red – Something Got Me Started

Naughty.

10. Dan Deacon – Snookered

Wakey-uppy, everything-will-be-okayy and then a fairly intense shift. This guy, if you ever catch him live, is great.

11. Destroyer – Kaputt

Prefab Sprout -esque. Hey there little fella! (watch the video). Do you remember turning from a child into a teenager? Will turning from an adult to an old person be a similar feeling? Whales.

12. This Must Be The Place – Talking Heads (MGMT Remix)

Live so sound quality not good but a nice rough and ready version of one of the greatest songs ever…sing into my mouth!

13. Pepe Bradock – Deep Burnt

And to finish - a classic deep house track that transcends space and time.
