Tonight's show starts with a 90 minute CS curated by artist Alexander Brown from Wrought Material, an eclectic mixtape that switches (abruptly) between death metal cuts and Japanese pop, with all manner of noise, mental hardcore and post punk in between. The last 30 minutes is a short mix from me, classic underrated West Bay hip-hop, some brand new shit from Bowel Rupture and L.O.T.I.O.N. Multinational Corporation.
I think I'm too tired to write much of a description, like everyone else I'm stuck inside for the foreseeable future which has resulted in some mild insomnia and some questionable viewing habits that have crept into this weeks show. I've attempted to stay as current as I can be bothered but you're also a bit doomed to whatever I've been listening to this week; highlights include recently unearthed tracks from gutter sludge aberration Baboon King, 60 or so blasts of noise from Living Room interspersed with whatever's going on in black metal, various obscurities and some classic hip hop.
This show was a fuckin' blast to make, with tonnes of new Iron Lung Records shit to get my teeth into plus the usual assortment of ancient black metal demos, and a track off the massive new Sial record that just came out on La Vida Es Un Mus. Big shoutout to my flatmate for putting me onto the Eightball & MJG tracks too.
The boys from Thomson Whisky make a Negroni and Boulevardier:
1 part Victor's Gin (Negroni) or 1 part Thomson's Whisky (Boulevardier).
1 part red vermouth.
1 part Campari.
Typically you should use 20-30mls per part, depending on how big your glass is. Fill a large mixing glass with ice, add the ingredients in the order above and then fill the rest of the glass with ice and begin stirring. Use a metal straw to taste intermittently while stirring until it's just right (you'll know).
Strain into a tumbler filled with ice, and garnish with orange peel (make sure to give it a twist and wipe it around the brim of the glass). Alternatively. the Boulevardier can be served in a chilled martini glass sans ice (same garnish).
