This one's a collection of rare and mostly forgotten post-punk, DIY, cracked minimal wave, dubby industrial and home-fried electronics from 1977 to 1986.  

Big rhythms everywhere on this one, and most of the tunes still sound like they're from the day after tomorrow.  Crank the fuck out of it.

Nobody Puts Pinstripes On Shit Any More (1977-1986)

Finn came up with the idea of three of us (Duncan being the third) making a Late Night Tales-themed mix, and we got together for a communal listen before Duncan moved to Canada the other week. 

The rules for the mix were... 

It had to be 19 tracks long. 
It had to contain one cover song. 
It had to end with some spoken word. 

The listening night was obviously a rinse out, and I'll hook you up with their mixes when I get a chance. Total fucking bruisers. 

TRACKLIST:

Lothar And The Hand People - Space Hymn
Sonny Sharrock - Many Mansions
Company Flow - 8 Steps To Perfection
Arzachel - Clean Innocent Fun  
Broadcast & The Focus Group - The Be Colony
Mark Stewart And Maffia - Don't You Ever Give Up And Lay Down Your Arms  
Oppenheimer Analysis - Radiance  
PiL - Careering 
Ennio Morricone - L'Assoluto Naturale (Studio De Colore)  
Up Tight - The Beginning Of The End 
Lady In The Radiator - In Heaven  
Michael Yonkers - Ya Da Doe  
Teenage Jesus And The Jerks - Burning Rubber (Live) 
Techno Animal - Piranha
Throbbing Gristle - Perception Is The Only Reality
Arthur Russell - See Through
Big Ned - Paint It Black (Rolling Stones Cover)  
Jakob Olausson - Queen Bee  
Coil - Who'll Fall


(This one features a track that also appears on You're A Fucking Virgin. This is just cos the mixes were made a long time apart and were done for pretty different, specific reasons, so it was all grand. Still, makes me a bit squeamish having them both up here...won't happen again!)

Drip-Draining In A Public Bin

The guys from Button Up! (easily Glasgow's best DJs) asked us to do a jazz-only mix for them many moons ago, but we're pretty lazy and only just got round to it the other week. 


It'll be going up on their blog soon enough, but it's well worth checking out their mixes in the meantime - they're a great taster for the Button Up! nights across Glasgow, and they've got you covered for everything from calypso and post punk to psych folk and dustbowl blues.
