This week I was listening to the Mary Anne Hobbs radio show on the iPlayer, and at exactly 37:00 minutes in she played this track ‘Filthy Logic’ by Rudi Zygadlo. I CANNOT stop listening to it – think it’s really quite amazing.

I’m looking forward to two Rudi-related things coming up; the first is he’ll be the guest on Mary Anne’s show on December 2nd (but with a 2am broadcast, it’ll be my iPlayer treat when I get to work Thurday morning), and the second is that he’s got an album coming out on Planet Mu.

If you don’t like this then I don’t like you.

LISTEN – Mary Anne Hobbs w. Rudi Zygadlo in the mix (only available on iPlayer until 17/12/09)

Getintoit!

bloody hell. i’d just come back to london from a week (holidaying?) in russia and sat down at my desk at work and thought “how the hell do I do this work thing again?!”. I’d arrived late, forgotten the password to my pc, realised i’d left heaps unfinished before i’d gone and somewhere in there was a bit of jetlag.

but, i got a great big cup of coffee, said hello and gave the headlines of my trip to the people closest to me, then settled in with my giant headphones on and opened up safari to find something to listen to on the BBC iPlayer while i got stuck into doing some work. I came across a Gilles Peterson show featuring a special Floating Points live session, recorded at the BBC studios in Maida Vale.

Oh. My. Gosh. it is brilliant. You can hear some bits of it on his myspace page, but I seriously hope this gets a proper release as it’s just about the best thing i’ve heard all year. dude is a genius.

and I had a moment of real pride for where I work.
