Sonar and Sodden Saturdays to Come

So Sonar! Summer, Sun, Spain and Sonics...just what you need!!! Highlights had to be DJ /Rupture at L'Audotori, Subtle, Chemical Brothers (got me reminicising of the days when I was 16), Diplo, Jamie Liddell...to name but a few. I did, I have to admit, miss M.I.A though the compensation was seeing Luke Vibert. Sonar also sparked my interest in Soul Jazz records, the sort of record label where if you owned the whole back catalogue you'd be drowning in good good stuff...like a toddler swimming in butterscotch angel delight.
So back to England, where the monsoons have begun, well it's glastonbury weekend isn't it. Though India is seemingly lacking the annual monsoon weather on another tip. My audio therapy for the evenings, after selling diamonds and pearls to the annoying and tiresome, currently consists of Odd Nosdam - Burner, not feeling it as much as I used to feel the anticon stuff, Enduser - Comparing Paths...which is just basically the breakcore album I'd recommend to the non breakcore fan, lots of energy...yet seemingly on a leash of sorts. Bring on the Vex'd album.
