Psycho Killer (B-Side) ft Arthur Russell on cello
This alternate version of “Psycho Killer” just resurfaced thanks to an Arthur Russell tribute event boasting “never-before-heard and unreleased songs” from the great cellist/producer. All recent reports have followed suit on that description, but in truth this cut was a B-side to the 1977 single — albeit buried a bit on a reissue disc ever since. Regardless, it’s an awesome take everyone should hear. The drama Russell brings to the strings (un)settles the mental battle David Byrne describes in early stages between making it “aggressive-sounding,” which “the singer in the song says you shouldn’t do,” and “if you kind of downplay it.” The twain shall meet above.

This song goes out to my dear mate Haylz who is a bit under the weather at the moment.

This solo from 1970 is pretty damn epic.
Giorgio Moroder’s first ever DJ set.
Recorded live at Deep Space in New York on May 20, as a part of some Red Bull thing.
It includes what I think is the best song from the new Daft Punk album Giorgio by Moroder

A ‘mini movie’ by Tee Mac
Thanks to Bobby G I’ve just learned that there’s another Tmac out there, and it’s not Tracy McGrady, the average basketballer.
It’s Tee-Mac, a homegrown Melbourne rapper.
Check out his music videos for Big Paper, Hard Hitta, and his live performance at the Holi Festival.
For me though his best track is Stay Positive, which truly helped me out of an emotional tailspin this afternoon.
Check out his website or twitter @teemurdamac

Maybe the best intro…..ever? That was some spiritual shit.
All songs should start like that.
