The SaintAndre.ws Playlist: Week 1
Welcome to week 1. Doesn’t matter what year you’re in, its always kind of bittersweet. It’s exciting to get back into the swing of things but it also kind of sucks because fresher’s week is over. We’ve compiled a list of songs that hopefully will help you through “readings” or “lab work” or whatever excuse you have to not go out. Enjoy. If you wanna download all the songs at once, CLICK HEREEEEEE.
Caspa & Buraka Som Sistema have a Hangover
I’m too hungover to type too much right now if I’m honest, but this song is good and its called hangover, which is what I’m feeling right now.
In other news: the collective town hangover is palpable. I hope this helps.
Also, drink more bloody marrys. They’ll help.
Dubstep Artist releases pedophilic video
Buzzboi Skrillex has released a “you dont get it like I do” video of some kid beating the crap out of a pedophile with magic as a new music video. Is this supposed to be some doorway into the inner mind of the prince of dubstep or just some cheap ploy to get written up on the blogosphere? (ok wait…)
What is this video actually about? I get what its supposed to be about but why, Skrillex, why? Is it taboo to call this video bad because a pedophile is the main antagonist?
Perhaps some context would help:
Off camera: young ozzy attempts to decapitate big bear with his mouth.
“what is this some sort of shit metafor? I don’t get it. Then again, I’m six”
Ok seriously this shit makes no fucking sense.
Dark and brave
A little gem.
Aural pleasure
Despite it being Paris fashion week, Dont Walk approaching rapidly and clothes playing on my mind all I can think about is music. So, I present to you Youandewan. Beautiful, well thought out, atmospheric music – relieving work/hangover/sartorial anxiety. Read more ►
The best sort of farm animals?
First trip to the library of this term and I have already succeeded in making the girl next to me leave after 20mins. Success.
Anyway, thought I’d share a little discovery. Digital Farm Animals are still pretty unknown, Read more ►
Glitch

The New Black is Blake
This guy could not be getting more press at the moment (unless he were Kanye West). With two hit EPs out already and an album just on the horizon, James Blake is set to take the indie world by storm. Having been listening to his music on repeat for the past few days, I have to question how broad an audience a man with such a unique and individual sound can actually reach. I could be taking a cynics view to the whole idea of the music industry, but no one can disagree that the more generic a song sounds, the more popular it becomes: Glee takes the soul out of every song they do and that show is HUGE!

Charity Opening Ball – Mr. Hudson’s Last Stand
The Charity Opening ball talk that I’ve heard since the event has been a shmorgishborg of both positive and negative reviews. Two things people have been saying most: 1: John the Evangelist and Bring Back The Planes rocked it. 2. Mr Hudson was kind of a let down. I think they have a point. People came to see Mr. Hudson and either left before he came on or only saw him for half an hour maximum. What ended up happening is The Planes played for an hour, John played for two then Mr. Hudson went on for what was supposed to be an hour but turned into roughly half an hour once he hit the stage. Then he just had his DJ finish off the night. I can’t say I was upset by the decision as I was in love with the music his DJ choose the play – mostly jungle and dubstep. I can’t, unfortunately, say that the rest of the crowd was enjoying it as much as I was. They came to see Mr. Hudson and left after a half an hour of london’s finest. This wasn’t the KK’s fault and I don’t think there was anything they could have done that would have changed the outcome except not book him in the first place. Yet frankly, I think they made a good choice in Mr. Hudson – top 40. artist signed to Kanye’s record label and for a decent price. You would have to be crazy not to book him. After the night ended, I had a short chat Hudson. It went something like this:
Me to Mr. Hudson’s DJ: “Dude great set! It was sick!”
Hudson’s DJ: “Hey thanks a lot man!”
Mr. Hudson: “What about me?”
Disappointing, Mr. Hudson, Disappointing.
