Ciao fools,

Yes I’ve been in the library most of the day and weeping the rest, and am now sufficiently confident of my own impending doom to share the sound track to it with you, the lucky public. Much like the yokel in the Fast Show, this week I have been mostly listening to the Blues and Dubstep, collections of which I recently inherited from brother internet. Make any sense?

Good, I thought not.

Anyway, here’s the track list for the fail, which can be found here.

1: Ali Farka Touré, Timbarma

Superb mix of traditional Malian music with the delta blues, taken from Ali Farka’s eponymous album. Farka, by the by, means Donkey.

2: iTAL tEK, White Mark

With all the dark brooding bass and ethereal synthesisers that hall mark Dubstep, this perfectly captures my growing paranoia and terror, as exams approach.

3: Björk, Isobel (Deodata Mix)

Because pop remixes of classic Björk songs are fun, finding the little dot-dot to go over the ‘O’ on Björk’s name is not and Deodata is a Brazilian.

4: Sketch Show, Ohotzck

Ohotzck starts off sounding like a mobile phone advert, but quickly reveals itself to be one of Sketch Show’s most playful and fulfilling tracks.

5: King Tut, Lukes Hymn

King Tut, interviewed back in issue two of Analogue and therefore, old friends, in magazine speak,are still hawking their great album Chopping Wood and Carrying Water and this is one of the strongest tracks on there.

6: Panda Bear, Good Girl (Mixed)

Panda Bear’s are all owned by the People’s Republic of China and, if summoned, must be returned to their homeland. This includes Panda Bears born outside of China and members of the Animal Collective, like Noah Lennox.

7: Professor Longhair, In the Night

New Orleans legend Longhair plays easily one of funkiest, upbeat songs about girls with “Sex appeal”. Fair play to him.

8: Derek and the Dominos, Have You Ever Loved a Woman?

A lovingly crafted song about doing the nasty with your bestfriend’s ladyfriend. It includes the lament, “When something deep inside won’t let you rape your bestfriend’s wife…” Genius.

9: Cotti & Cluekid, Sensi Dub

A great vocal lift this deep, danceable dubstep track above the hoard, taken from Cotti & Cluekid’s Sensi Dub EP.

10: Virgo, The Clack Riddim (Instrumental Mix)

Totally brilliant track to listen to whilst walking through town, within minutes you’ll have escaped into a dark half world, where you’re a tough but fair cop, shooting out the bad guys and leaving it up to the sarge to deal with the paper work… Oh yeah, sorry.

And that’s a wrap, have fun.

Andrew

pps, This muxtape will be up for about a week, until I do another one. One track from this one will be saved to carry on over.
