Topical triple tracker

A selection dedicated to Taoski, who as we know "doesn't do politics" so with that in mind here's a little political conciousness backed up with some tasty beats.

"Hard Being Poor" Timberjack Featuring Tat (Aka Shasta Screams) It's hard being poor. Damn straight. The sound of urban frustration. Word.

"George Bush Is An Islamic Fundamentalist" Rub Featuring Bill Clinton On Sax On a jazzier tip, lazy beats with a mellow acoustic feel.

"Pains Of Life" GM Baby Turntablist beats and scratching, very much redolent of Michael Franti's Spearhead, but with a London twist.

Psych #1

My 1st post here so lets start with some guitar/synth based psychedelic tracks and get on to the dancey stuff later (although that button moon /billy ray cyrus sounds interesting) 1 Beautiful People - Rilly Groovy.mp3 Beautiful People - Rilly groovy This track is mostly made from Hendrix samples (as is the whole album it's from) but with some more up to date beats, well up to date if you're in the mid 90s when it was made. 2 Bevis Frond - Once More.mp3 Bevis Frond - Once more This track is one of my favorites with lots of guitar work outs and some familiar samples if you're of an age similar to me. 3 Hawkwind - Motorhead.mp3 Hawkwind - Motorhead This is one of my favorite groups doing an unusual version, still with Lemmy "singing" but not at all like the more familiar version. 4 Ozric Tentacles - Obstacular Explosion.mp3 Ozric Tentacles - Obstacular explosion Another favorite group with a live track from '86 that just reminds me of my younger tripped out festival experiences. 5 Spacemen 3 - Revolution.mp3 Spacemen 3 - Revolution Yet another favorite of mine, with lots more guitar but not screaming leads this time, just lots of repeating riffs and subversive lyrics.

New member!

I have invited a new member to the Music Club fold - Jaffa Da Hut. His music taste is quite diverse - and that's diverse as in "good" not as in "Button Moon vs Billy Ray Cyrus" (MrNoxious). Lets get this shit off the ground again. Someone post a few tracks please! I don't have to do all the work all of the time.
