AutoReplay's Blips - March 2011

Here we go again campers! Another guest Blip here to captivate and hopefully educate your ears. This week, your teacher will be AutoReplay. He will be lecturing mainly around the theme of Dub, and other well known UK-reared meat products. So without further ado:

Here is a random selection of noises and sounds, which, if listened to in the order specified below, actually resemble music. Good music.

1. Mount Kimbie – Before I move off

No relation to any mountains so I am told. Mount Kimbie mainly do music for the ears. Sound music. It’s also relevant here due to its title. Which is sort of like starting. The bit just before the start i guess.

2. Baths – Lovely Bloodflow

A classic song. Good listened to in, or out of, a bath.

3. Daphni – Ye Ye

Yeahyeahyeahyeah – just have a listen. It’s that bloke who is also called Caribou – ah! that got your attention.

4. Light Asylum – A Certain Person (Motherland Remix)

This is a big one. Check out www.soundcloud.com/msmsmsm for more like it

5. Creep – Days (Soul clap remix)

More breathy goodness from the XX's Romy. So fans will like this – and indeed are likely to have already played it to death. Sorry about that. I like this remix of it though. Soul Clap Clap Clap (round of applause)

6. XXXY – You always start it

Oh no you always start it...

7. Canblaster – Clockworks (Teki Latex & Para One remix)

I have a lot of time for the bravado of the protagonist. He is so confident in his ability to sleep for one hundred years and wake up a minute later, with no mention of alarm clock or funeral arrangements, that he commits it to song.

8. Fleet Foxes – Mykonos (Young Montana Remix)

This is a monster. If you are at work careful – you are likely to spill your nice cup of tea onto an approaching colleague. Otherwise crank it up.

9. Arkist – Only If you Mean it

Big rich sounds, a lovely song.

10. Nicholas Jaar – Keep me there

Only 20 years old - Is there anything this guy can’t do! Apparently he is rubbish at astrology. I mean, really bad.

11. Moon Wiring Club – Slumberwick Dreams

There is more recent music out by these ‘chaps’ but I enjoy this one hence its inclusion.

12. Telefon Tel Aviv – Sound In a Dark Room

Similarly this is quite old but I enjoy the noises made. It’s like ‘so’ chilled.

13. Hounds of Hate - Trident

Dark and dirty. Great video too. Maybe do a few mins of forced smiling after listening.

14. Actress – Maze

A good song to end on – 1. turn it up, 2. turn off the lights and 3. get lost in the maze that is your own house. Unless you have a good spatial awareness in which case you’ll probably be fine – just move around slowly. In fact, just to be safe, make sure that any obvious obstacles are removed before part 2 (wine glasses, Ming vases etc)
