Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis
The Steel City seems to generating an abundance of fresh sounds (see the "Leave You Suckers With Your Auditory Sickened..." post from March) and equally dope art.
Representing The Hantu Collective and The Happy Happy Poster Club whilst producing his own fresh brand of illustration, George Law's juxtaposing of delicate colourscapes and razor-sharp stylised characters works a treat in my eyes. There is almost dark humour behind some of his pieces; where christmas decorations turn into monsters and monsters creep up on unsuspecting kids.Whether or not this is his way of addressing the ugliness of the materialistic ghost of Christmas present/s (The Hantu Collective specialise in ethically sourced and produced clothing) or simply because it looks dope - either way it's pretty stunning.
Incase you were pondering on the title of this post and it's irrelevance to George's work - I'm going to leave you with this final image - it caught my eye a while back and straight away a certain lyric sprung to mind...
Get a load of this!

I'm The Type Of Brother Who Don't Like To Hear The Same Thing Over And Over...
...so I don't listen to the radio.
Radio 1 can be summed up this easily:
ALL DAY: Shrill, annoying, piercing, inconsistent, pointless shit.
ZANE LOWE: Started off as the not-so-eccentric Peel with the way he skipped genres.
Now he's the poster boy for shit.
TIM WESTWOOD: Remember the good old days with DJs like Riz on the turntables?
Well they stopped. And the music got shit too. Pretty shit.
COLIN MURRAY: Good banter and solid music. Not pushed enough. Anyone know when his show is actually on?
ESSENTIAL MIX: Essential lifesaver for the station - one of Radio 1's saving graces.
GILLES PETERSON: Diverse, well researched, well thought out, solid show. On at a shit time in the small hours.
So I must give my man Russ huge props for giving me the heads up on this little gem:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00h3x73/Archive_on_4_Beat_Mining_with_the_Vinyl_Hoover/
Just goes to show that not ALL of BBC's airplay caters for the cattle-market-masses.
This programme is THE shit!
