Killer Burn knee - Spinners

 Killer Bernie was another great wormhole.  

Three tracks survived revisits and an playlist  to go with it 

Track choice 1 Televised executions - Suicide - 2002

This has got that unique Vega delivery provokes thought. ROLL with Da Bass Groove.  

There are some subtle differences. 

between homicide, murder and manslaughter

according to  Murphy's law

Track 2 Terror Couple Kill Colonel Bauhaus - Remastered
I was never a huge Bauhaus fan. On recent listens I see this is both original and powerful track that has a special sound. "In May 1972, the Red Army Faction, then known as the Baader-Meinhof group, detonated three bombs outside the officers' club of the Fifth Corps headquarters in Frankfurt, Germany, killing an American lieutenant colonel and injuring 13 others."

Track 3 Black Harmony Killer - Jah Stitch -1977 

From the land of Don Letts and the Black Harmony soundsystem of 1977.
Like the way songs like this sat in the between band space of the UK Punk Scene.
Not about murder but a killer sound

Killer Soundtrack 
Selected some tracks that could fit in the soundtrack of an unsettling film about murder.  One for my archives. a match for something like a Rivers edge

Furniture Spinners

 The spinners hunt is always a pleasure. Glad that this one resulted in such a fine selection of clearly relatables. 

Won't muck around let's head straight to the picks and why.

Chaise Longue - Wet Tounge

Chosen for continued reference to a great furniture genre. (strangely I had picked up on this song recently) Look out for the anonymous woman in the video. If there was a chance to get a track on the speakers tonight - this would be my choice.


The Sofa Song - The Kooks
Somewhere in England the Kooks  - let this out of the bag . Like the energy of Northern England. Prior to the spat they had with the Arctic Monkeys.

Shirelles - Putty in your Hands
This one is straight from the Jim Jarmusch play book.
Think Putty was a well used furniture product back in the day.
Shirrelles putty in your hands NICE.

Blinded me with science

Dearest Spinner folk

Jamie offered guidance to the selection of songs relating to science.

It was as follows. 

For those who need more definition I'll suggest the following;
Science is a fact-based belief system that seems to be functionally and accurately describing the world we're in - but we could always find out more.
I will also suggest that we avoid - Science Fiction and Space-based themes and maybe Meteorology (sorry Mark but songs about the weather are another theme).

We should be concentrating on Physics, Paleontology, Chemistry, Biology, Mathematics, etc.

I have loosely followed this with a "can I justify connection to the brief with this".
Based a series of songs on states of matter and not the Hydraulophone seen below

Had fun - scoot through - click if you feel inclined - enjoy the spinners search. 

Hydraulophone in warm pool

States  





Solid 

Icehouse - nothing to do - Flowers
Liked this one for 36 years now - a good innings.

Melting
Leftfield - Melt - Leftism 
Turn of the lights - pump up the the volume enjoy the electrocism. 
Melt was built from a selection of samples from 1980’s influenced jazz and ambient records reflecting our obsession to make Leftism a journey that defied contemporary views of what a dance album should sound like 



 

Liquid
The Doors - Under the waterfall - Stone inmaculate 
Ejoyed hearing this chilled mix for the first time  
Sounds contempory

Evaporation 
Baby bird - Steam Train - Bad shave 
Always get you. thinking 
Is that a suitcase in your hand?
Or just a black box that fell from the plane
That crashed when I met you?
Great keyboard riff

Gas
Ethyl methyl ether, or methoxyethane, is a colorless gas at room temperature, having a boiling point of 7.6ºC. Like dimethyl ether, it is fairly water soluble. Diethyl ether, or ethoxyethane, or just plain ether, is a colorless liquid at room temperature, having a boiling point of 34.6ºC.
Turin Brakes - Stone thrown - from Ether Song 

Guitar meander near end of track 


Ionisation
Hard to find ions irons will do
Monkey - March of the Iron Army - Journey to the west
Ahhh Piggsy

Plasma
The Plasmatics - Butcher baby - 
Complete with chainsaw enough said 



Energy 
They all require energy 
Spizzenergi aka Athletico Spizz 80 - New Species - Do a runner
Keeps with the theme and another long time listen
Peel Session
"New species are clean and fresh"
