dub sex | splintered faith

dub sex get a brief mention in the associated bands of "death to trad rock", with john describing them as having "tight, menacing songs underpinned by some great drumming and dub bass undertow". despite this, and recording 4 peel sessions in a short space of time, they remain largely forgotten these days.

they released one album, which i don't have, plus a bunch of singles, collected on this here record. "swerve" was the "hit", but "time of life", "kicking the corpse around" and "then and now" show they had plenty more up their sleeves.

mixtape | 090909

i'm not one of these people that reads great significance into dates like today's, but that doesn't mean i don't get a small thrill from it. plus it makes for a convenient mixtape title.

i've been listening to lots of britpop lately for some reason, perhaps i'm homesick/nostaligic. but i've steered clear of that for this - if you like that kind of thing then you've probably got it, right? as usual, this is a pretty random mix of current listens, old & new...
