Will DJ for five magic beans...

About Me

Here we go again. Crappy 'm*sh-up' peddlers will not be approved or added. I keep saying this but the message still isn't getting through to some. Please don't waste your time, or mine. It's a long, long time since I cared for that sort of thing...
Bastard-pop legend (it says here). An inspiration to many (and I'm sorry for that). Musician of sorts, DJ of much repute, BBC local radio annoyance, unsurpassed mix-tape creator, bad judge of character, stubborn twat. Which is why I'm still sitting here typing rather than going out being famous these days, while talentless shits rule the earth. Some things will probably never change. But I'd be perfectly happy if they did. What'cha got?
I was, until recently, one third of Tauchsieder , the Scottish/Welsh electronic experimental supergroup who have/had a CD called "Louder" out in the shops, featuring guest contributions from JD Twitch (Optimo), Colin Newman (Wire/Githead), Richard X (uber pop producer) and Tom Ellard (maverick behind Severed Heads)... it's bloody good, but nobody ever got to hear about it.

Funk625 mix

Funk625 mix ... Mix90 is taking a rest for a few weeks, but there should be another one crammed full of psychedelic fabness fairly soon. In the meantime, here's something a bit different - nearly an h...

Mix90 3 - a totally non-Christmassy Mix

Good gravy, I've only gone and done Mix90 number three! Well, I detest the 'festive season' so I needed something to keep my mind off it all. You're all very quiet out there. Is anyone listenin...

Radio Soundhog - The Broadcast Sessions

Seeing as how a proper new Radio Soundhog mix is still a long way off (possibly never to come), my DJing 'career' is on the buffers and pissing diesel all over the place, and m*shups and bootlegs can ...

Bloody pets...

They're a fucking stupid idea, aren't they?  Choosing to give all the love you're capable of giving to a furry pest, who only sticks around because you feed it and has a great habit of dribbling ...

Where's the damned year going, eh?

Evening. It's going to start getting dark sooner again before long.  Terrific. It's a quiet time for music at Chez sH.  My Microfilm remix should be out on CD at the start of May, on CD...

News - The Spider & The Fly... /\ /\ /\ /\ - etc

Just a quick note about this track - it's a '68 Dakotas track which I extended by about two minutes, focusing on the riffs and adding some fairy dust effects.  The original was featured on the b-...

Website update... (no, honestly!)

That blue moon must have come around.  I've remade my website to look a bit more cheery (which is so in keeping with my personality...) and there's some stuff for download as well, for a change.&...
