Melancholic Euphoria! In the shape of a Robot




Well, I'll do the Blogger-courtesy thing and explain why I haven't posted recently - I haven't be arsed. Not that I haven't been beavering away at some new tunes... Infact, I've been pretty productive of late, churning out some (actually slightly mediocre) band demos and a couple of Moscow Youth Cult ditties, with the aid of Cool Edit Pro, a cumbersome Casio stuck through a load of guitar pedals and... well, my trusty Jap Tele.

The best of the bunch is here, entitled "Utopia!" for reasons that will become clear on listening

Moscow Youth Cult - Utopia!

It comes complete with a sample of a rather melancholy Robot spouting some existential jargon, of which I sampled (without asking! ooh er) from this cartoon by bunch of American crazy cats, who call themselves Weaknights:

"Sad Robot"

Fear not though, dear listener/reader/whatever, I have informed these people of my thievery, and I'm sure it'll all be fine. Its not exactly going to sell millions now is it?

Radio Disaster!




Myself and two compadres (who shall remain unamed for legal reasons) burnt the candle (not particularly) late last eve, in order to fulfill the task of recording some "Salutations" for a Spanish radio show that plays underground UK indie. Robot voices, ambient-jazz basslines and Spanish accents were employed in what could be a complete Disaster! I only hope our radio hero Fernando doesn't take offence to our sins and shirky sense of humour and stop playing our songs. Here they are in full:

Salutation One: Space Jam

Salutation Two: Lounge Act
