Anyroad, for our road trip this weekend, I thought I'd leave you with some Luke Haines car songs. Luke Haines has been around forever, I met and interview him during The Auteurs' "Now I'm a Cowboy" tour and have been following his career ever since. He joined in Black Box Recorder, which had some minor success. He's currently a solo artist (I believe he's still doing random gigs in England & Ireland).

DJ Shadow – Stem (Cops ‘N’ Robbers mix)

vusleeper April 18, 2007

DJ Shadow (Josh Davis) is a mixer and turntable artist out in Davis, California. Somehow amazingly enough, in 1995, he made this little album called Endtroducing... (released in 1996), which consists of nothing but sampled music (it made it into the Guinness World Records for "First Completely Sampled Album" for their 2001 edition). I'm sure, around this time, there were other experimental sampling artists out there, but DJ Shadow is recognized as the first. There is even a book about it from 33 1/3 Series

vusleeper April 15, 2007

Blur drummer Dave Rowntree would like very much to prove that adage wrong, as according to NME, he'll run as a Labour Party candidate for the local council election in his Marylebone, Westminster, London district.
