King of Hearts.

AFTERNOON ALL!

HERE IS FRIDAY 24TH NOVEMBER'S TOP 5 ALL THINGS AWESOME THIS WEEK.

LET'S GO...

1) Track of the week.

First XTC hitsingle with remastered and synchronized audio. (C) 1979 Virgin records.

A classic tune that does not age at all.

2) Video of the week.

At the height of our disembodied digital era, two robots come disguised as girl-humans to deliver their funk-punk message to the world. Sue Denim and Dee Plume are Robots In Disguise. They're the most exciting songwriting duo of the moment - Dee's aerobic guitar solos and Sue's grooving bass lines dance over poetic lyrics and chunky electronic beats.

A truly fucked up video and an awesome track.

3) Quote of the week.

"art is the thing that might not work"

- Seth Godin

4) Educational thing of the week.

We had the opportunity to visit legendary composer and musician Stewart Copeland at Sacred Grove Studios. Our conversation began discussing his work as a drummer (for which he's internationally known due to his work in The Police), but soon branched out to discuss his background in jazz, his adventures (and misadventures) uncovering rhythmic mysteries in Africa, and his work as a composer for film and ballet.

Stewart Copeland: Where The Gods Live.

5) Gig of the week.

King of Hearts Festival.

This festival is a great cause and run by a genuine dude in Matt Wetherill. We were fortunate enough to have Matt on the podcast back in July, you can hear that HERE. Matt talked us through the inspiration for the festival, and it's been amazing to see the line-up go from strength to strength to strength to strength to strength. See you there.
 

Speak to you next Friday,
