Hi all - thanks again for the kind thoughts. I am back from surgery which went successfully (a brief and unpleasant chest infection notwithstanding) and now have a month off work in which to waste time on ILX! Kinda glad I missed these "Animal Collective Wars" though.

Haha too true. Welcome back, great to hear!

Deej I have had two conversations about the TMNT brain this week!! Although not in connection with my surgery.
Paul I am about to unleash a massive post on Ill Blu written with you in mind.

And that Electrik Red review is great.
I've introduced around 15 people I know to them in the last month thanks to you and the rest of the Rnb crew.

Congratulations Tim!
Have you heard this mix?
http://www.mixcloud.com/unbongo/unknown-soulja-un-bongo-mix-2-november-2009/
It's kind of my favorite thing in the world right now.. I don't even know what kind of music this is supposed to be. To my ears it sounds a lot like 2-step, a little like bassline, a bit like dubstep.. but what do I know?
― Tracer Hand, Tuesday, 8 December 2009 12:41 (fourteen years ago) link
Ot maybe this is the "UK funky" that everyone's been talking about
Whatever it is, i freaking love it
― Tracer Hand, Tuesday, 8 December 2009 12:42 (fourteen years ago) link
I mean there's also some rap in there
― Tracer Hand, Tuesday, 8 December 2009 12:46 (fourteen years ago) link
And some dancehall. Judging by the tracklisting that's a fairly wide-ranging FACT-esque mix with bits of everything you mention in there. There's probably some funky in there as well although there aren't any names I recognise.
― Space Battle Rothko (Matt DC), Tuesday, 8 December 2009 12:50 (fourteen years ago) link
that electrik red review is great!

Jesus, Mess + Noise is like an AU P4K skin. Scary.
Tim, I love the series and I'm sorry to hear you're dealing with medical issues. Good on you.
― cee-oh-tee-tee, Tuesday, 8 December 2009 13:02 (fourteen years ago) link
Tracer, yeah that mix looks very FACT-y - there's lots of mixes floating around the internet from people like Julio Bashmore, Bok Bok, Princess, Mosca, Dub Boy and the like that cover similar ground. I haven't listened to that yet but how amazing is Major Notes' "Holy Ghost" (which is UK funky - most of the rest isn't but in related territory)? The bit when the vocal comes in toward the end is just A++++.
Chris are you in Australia now? Or have you just seen the first season? I'm really looking forward to Season 2 becoming available on the internet as I (like to) think it's much better. Mess + Noise is a bit scary, yes! I like to think we won them over at least a little bit.

I'm curious what you would might have to say about this Japanese dance pop song (3,117,287 views):

When does Tim Finney's first book come out?
― MikoMcha, Saturday, 15 November 2014 09:44 (nine years ago) link
Is Tim Finney now a big shot lawyer? I was looking for recent music writeups and came up empty-handed. There is however a very well-to-do-looking fellow of his namesake listed as being director of a law firm in Melbourne. Nothing on music or on Pitchfork in years, though!
