"Famous people" are bitches. No, I'm serious. You can't really be 'friends' with them because they aren't even themselves... they're usually representations of a concept, not a person. It's a horrible delusion to think that someone who has succeeded in the entertainment industry would give a flying **** what you're doing.THAT SAID... some people are successful, even famous, and are simply ...

Hell yeah! Fake Blood (aka Theo Keating of The Black Ghosts) dropped "Mars" a while back... and it was killer. NOW it will finally see release, on Cheap Thrills, accompanied by a slew of remixes! I know you're already salivating... which is why I've got the Style Of Eye remix for ya!Fake Blood- "Mars (Style Of Eye's Tool For School Remix)" zShareFake Blood- "Mars (Style Of Eye's Tool For Sc...

Those of you who know me know that one of my favourite words is "crack". Why? Say it out loud! Doesn't it sound funny? It may be the worlds deadliest drug, and the most fun word to say!So I was very pleased to see this "crack house" mix from the legendary DJ Zinc in my inbox! Check it out, and check him out at Fabric this next Friday. You've got a week to listen and get hyped up! Believe...

Oh we love Surkin... and are quite fond of Primary 1... so after "Who's There" came out on Erol's Phantasy Sound label it was only a matter of time before something else blog worthy came from these names...Now the aforementioned track has been mixed with Surkin's classic "White Night"!The email said this track is "straight from the people who made the tracks themselves and a big feature of Rito...

With much pride I announce that our boy Robot Koch is releasing his debut album "Death Star Droid"! Using the term "debut" seems off since he's put out more material than some artists have in their whole career... nevertheless it's still really exciting no matter how you look at it... especially since you can get sunglasses with the album if you order through HMV!Here is the digital pre-relea...

Hmmmph! I'm frust-ricated! There are only 24 hours in a day (or so I'm told) and a lot of those are allocated to "doing things that people don't want to pay to do" (i.e. school, cleaning, etc). If I was able I'd be putting more of those hours aside to write blog postings for you lot!Since it has been a moment since my last outing so I have a LOT of stuff for you! First though, and most exci...

62 mins long. 56.76mb of data. 100% awesome.If it weren't for Hostage (and well the folks at Your Army) I wouldn't EVER know what was going on with dance music. For all the moaning I was doing the other day about dance music getting boring, this mix proves I was just in a bad mood (and didn't know what I was talking about at ALL)... from Black Noise's opener, to "Hangin' by our man Hostage,...

I gotta admit I've been pretty bored with dance music as of late. I'm not saying that quality tracks haven't been coming out... it's just I'd rather listen to Blur, Oasis, Joy Division, Morrissey, The Cure, Late Of The Pier, and Klaxons (speaking of, when is that Klaxons album gonna come out now?!?! If you have "The Parhelion", "Moonhead", "Marble Fields And The Hydrolight Head Of Delusion", "...

Soooooooo... I didn't realize yesterday that MOST of these songs I have are on the extra disc for Temporary Pleasure, or the album itself. I sort of am behind on this album because I didn't have much music in Jamaica... or a computer for that matter. BUT, anyway, these versions are not those aforementioned bonus tracks! These, like "Santiago" (the only original) yesterday, are the original ...

Well, after waiting 7 months, I've finally decided to go ahead and post this unreleased Simian Mobile Disco track. It seems that a few others have made their way onto the Hype Machine ("Flea In Your Ear", "Pinball") so I suppose at this point they must not mind. It's a rough mix anyway which is sort of like looking through the trash bin seeing as it's not the finished product... unless you re...

Apparently it's legendary musician day here at ISoA! First Ian Brown now this...I was gutted when New Order broke up because they're one of my favourite bands and I've never gotten to see them play. I'm almost speechless when I think about it...HOWEVER! Bad Lieutenant has shown up and now my fears are going away... perhaps I'll never see all four New Order members on stage again BUT, based o...

When I was on my Honeymoon I spent a lot of time listening to, and reading about, The Stone Roses. My first memory of the band really is "Fools Gold", which is not surprising, seeing as I was really young and don't remember anything else coming out from them prior to that on U.S. radio!Charles from The Spirit Of Albion and I are both big fans of the Roses, as well as The Seahorses, and good ol...

I'm back from a PERFECT Honeymoon! Although it was a little over a year late it was just as amazing as if we had gone right after the wedding. Let me tell you, people always tell you Jamaica is really dangerous and that's a BUNCH of bullshit. I mean I suppose if you need to score crack at 3am in Kingston you might get robbed but otherwise it's a really a country full of really kind and carin...

Parlophone was the first record company that started giving me promos back in the day... and at least a couple times they were nice enough to give me the "jump" on everyone else which helped establish this blog a little quicker. I didn't start posting their stuff to climb the ladder though... I posted it because a large portion of my favourite bands are on it! See for yourself below and rem...

While you wouldn't know it, as he tends to behind the scenes (as opposed to on the front of the tabloid), without Adam Ficek Babyshambles probably wouldn't exist today. After replacing Gemma Clarke on drums (after a shambolic but destructive Babyshambles Christmas tour) Adam Ficek took his place behind the drum kit... but also helped keep the band from falling apart. Were it not for him stepp...

Well, as you know, this is a pretty strictly British only blog... but I am a sucker for Ghostly International. In fact I've been carefully putting together an article for Cream Team for a couple months now on their 10 year anniversary... that's how much of a fan I am.Now, despite having never actually spoken to Deastro, I'm a big fan on his music and want to help spread the word as if he were...

That last Maps track I posted, "Let Go Of The Fear", really had me so I'm excited to be posting this new one. If you liked the last one I imagine this will get you too... however this is a little less dubby and a little more like an Audion track (without super weird noises) with a vocal (that isn't warped).

After hearing this I think Plastician should do a WHOLE album like this. It's one of the big things dubstep is missing: female vocals. I mean it doesn't need them ALL the time, because I like that hard shit too, but sometimes dubstep is TOO hard. This remix of Crew Lips new track comes off like this decades Breakbeat Era... that is soulful, dark, and compulsively listenable.Here's some press...

It's a good thing Chima Anya got this out before the end of Summer because this is a MUST have for sittin' out on the stoop, cruisin' in your car, or even in the club. I say it EVERY time but British hip-hop has taken a long time to come into it's own but it's people like Chima Anya that are pushing things forward... check it out..."New Day" is the first single from the album of the same name....
