doomsday

or doomsevening, to be accurate.

spent watching this:

A very rare, in-depth, and illuminating video interview with Doom/VikVaughn/King Geedorah/Zev Love X/etc for the recent Red Bull Music Academy Madrid session.

and spent listening to this:

monsieurJones - 60 minutes of DOOM

A really fun mix, with loads of my personal favourites – “Deep Fried Frenz” and “Pot Holderz” from from Mm.. Food, “All Caps” and “Meat Grinder” from Madvillainy, ”Fall Back/Titty Fat” and the chilling “Bloody Chain” from Venomous Villain, “Anti Matter” from Take Me to Your Leader… so many highlights!

“I consider myself a writer. When I write, I write from different characters, I write through different scenes, different times… I look at it like I’m a fiction writer or someone who writes novels, you’ve got a wide range of characters. It always makes things more eventful. It would be too corny if I was just writing from me. I’ve got a whole slew of characters.”

the illest villain. super villain!

their music is a secret order

I’ve been intrigued by Kontra-Musik since coming to the label via Jason Fine’s beautiful album Our Music Is A Secret Order in 2008, so I was really pleased to be able to write a profile on them for RA’s Label of The Month feature series.

Read the feature here.

Don’t forget to check the nice & moody Kontra-Musik label mix by Third.

Below are three of my favourite secret K-M treasures.
