by on 20. Jan, 2012 in comedy, dueling turntables

I’m a bit late to the game for this round, and I’ll concede defeat on musical grounds (and perhaps start a new battle?) by turning to my most favoritist of contemporary comedy pairings… the two Ls… Larry and Leon. For me at least, when these two share a scene the laughs per second roll off [...]

by on 03. Jan, 2012 in dueling turntables, music

To keep this merry-go-round a’ twirlin’… here’s Julie Slick more than keeping pace with a couple old pros.

We who get to discover and enjoy really are the lucky ones. So women that rock? Well back in ’06 the ones that stole [...]

Dueling Turntables – ‘Soloist Youtuber’ – “The Fat Lady of Limbourg”

by on 30. Oct, 2011 in dueling turntables

Alright, a bit of a delayed response to Jet’s wonderful toy piano Kraftwerkin’, but non-the-less a relevant one I thinks. The stare-down between performer and viewer, such a crucial and strange bit of social interaction unique to the soloist youtubing experience. I like this lady’s commitment – to the song, to the viewer, the whole [...]

Dueling Big Bands: Kiyohiko Senba & His Haniwa All-Stars

by on 30. Sep, 2011 in dueling turntables, music

Years ago I came across this phenomenal bit of noise on the equally phenomenal Mutant Sounds blog. Didn’t quite know what to make of the music then, probably still don’t now, but always it remained in the back my brain, its residual frequencies never fully escaping the sound skull. This clip here just flat out [...]

Dueling Turtables..Young Marble Giants..”N.I.T.A.”

by on 03. Nov, 2007 in dueling turntables, music

One of my favorite bands by far musically, sonically, conceptually and politically. The Young Marble Giants were a Cardiff, Wales post-punk band formed in 1978. Their music was constructed around the powerful and minimal instrumentation of brothers Philip and Stuart Moxham supporting the naive untrained voice of Alison Statton. The LP to get is “Collosal [...]
