Spank Rock’s “YoYoYoYoYo” is the one of the filthiest, finest most fun albums of this or any year, and the Barfly is suitably bursting at the seams. Guest list liggers, and industry insiders swelled the numbers to the point where having taken up position right at the front… I wasn’t moving even if I wanted to. Sam writing for Caught in the crossfire claimed it was “one of the worst crowds I’ve ever seen in my life – It was like standing in Madame Tussauds, with people seemingly only there to gain scene points for seeing a much touted band at a small venue”.

On their labels forum theres since been much griping about the venue. More than one person was “crushed… unable to move, couldn’t see anything… thought i was gonna pass out”, while others simply gave up and went home. A crying shame, as despite a serious case of jet lag Spank Rock tore the place up.

MC Spank Rock (Naeem Juwan) declared that it was going to be a mad night as they were as “drunk as shit”. An insane transatlantic schedule must have fried their brains too, having played Cargo on Friday flown back to the States to support Gnarls Barkley on Sunday, and now (Tuesday) London again.

Mad electro throbs signal the arrival of “Backyard Betty (Quicktime)“. Naeem prowls the stage, splitting his attention between the audience, and the distraction of a gaggle of ladies he’s invited up to sit at the side. “Rick Rubin” and “What It Look Like” follow in rapid succession as producers XXXchange and Chris Rockswell lay down a foundation of speaker blowing bass and nintendo bleeps for Spank Rock to playfully rhyme over:

“Ass-shaking competition champ, ooh that pussy gets damp, pump that– pump that– pump that amp.”

The lyrics would make Prince blush, but its done with a sense of humour and knowing wink far from the bitches and ho’s of fiddy cent (or perhaps im kidding myself there?). Indeed on the fantastic “Bump” Spank Rock meets his match as Amanduh Blank having sat watching side stage grabs the mic and steals the show with her own deliciously filthy flow. For the rest of the evening the two play off each other, whether clambering on-top of the speakers or Amanduh flashing her knickers at Spank. It is we’re told his birthday!

“tap dat ass, tap dat ass, tap dat ass…”

Better still was to come with the single “Sweet Talk“, starting off with pounding bass and frenzied guitar licks before transforming mid way though into a classic Motown sound, with a hook to die for. Suddenly the stage is crowded as Spank beckons ladies from the audience up to dance, with some blokes joining the fun as well. At the end even the cramped conditions, and industry liggers couldn’t stop the Spank Rock party.

With the show going out live on X-fm’s X-posure, there were also three “better than your average support act” slots. First act Mr Hudson & The Library are a winning combination of steel-pan percussion, genius keyboards by a guy with the mother of all afro’s, and a trilby hated lead singer, Ben Hudson . Described slightly unkindly on the Ninjatune forum as “Babybird covering Sting songs” there is perhaps a hint of Sting in Mr Hudson, but only a hint as I keep hitting rewind on Mr.Hudson (and that hasn’t been the case with Mr Tantric for a good few years).

Not only did he play his own set but he also joined Sway for a remix of new single “Products” re-titled by Mr.Hudson as “Everyman for himself“. I suggest getting over to his myspace site immediately to have a listen, its a perfect blend of Sways rap, guitar lines, beats, and then Mr.Hudson comes in with an absolutely killer chorus. If Sway has any sense he’ll rerelease this as the A-side, its too good just to be a i-tunes exclusive. Check it at myspace or buy it on itunes. No really go do it now!

Sway himself was on top form, spending as much of his set indulging in banter with the crowd as he did performing tracks. Asking the audience how many of them downloaded illegally, before chastising them as liars when not enough put their hands up. He came on as usual with face covered by Union Jack bandana but he joked that he loved the whole UK, but the Scots didn’t seem to take to his bandana… but he still loves them. Tracks included “Little Derek“, an accapella version of his scene stealing “Harvey Nicks” cameo, and for a raucous encore Pirelli joined him on “Up Your Speed“.

Third support Ye$$ Boss left me with mixed feelings. I started off thinking they were going to be terrible but their mixture of Dizzee Rascal type beats and MC Pitman sounding lyrics were actually very good live. The rhymes were witty,and they certainly had the audience grinning, but listening to the tracks on their site afterwards I have to say its not my thing. They have however well worth seeing live, have just completed a remix for !Forward Russia!, and are tipped for big big things… so what the hell do I know.

A simple concept. One music obsessed blogger recommends three tracks to another audio junkie, and they do the same. This time round I pick three for the 7″ obsessed “Stop Me If You’ve Heard This One Before”, a site for all the latest single reviews. In return for my listening pleasure he’s picked two great releases, and something by Morrissey.

Scroobius Pip - First Time I Met Music (MP3)

MLD: This week seems to have randomly become white hip-hop week on musiclikedirt so I thought i’d recommend Scroobius Pip (The Streets earlier in the week, then Lily Allen, now Scroobius… watch out for Daz Sampson tomorrow ).

The Pip was chosen as I know “Stop Me” loves unusual or creative lyrics, and the denser the better, therefore an Edward Lear influenced rapper seemed perfect. Scroobius is out on the “Kindness of Strangers tour” as we speak, and the debut album is available from his site, along with oodles of free MP3’s, including The Cure sampling Lullaby - scroobiuspip.co.uk).

Stop Me: ‘First Time I Met Musik’ has a slow burning, soulful sound that acts as the subtle backing for Scroobius Pip’s relentlessly inventive lyrics. The vocals sound like Eddie Argos turning his hand to rap. The lyrics are about meeting “The physical embodiment of music”, a tale that is told with no small amount of wit in a refreshing no nonsense style. He more or less talks rather than sings, Mike Skinner does the same but in a totally different way. It’s packed with so many incredible lines that it’s difficult to get your head round on the first listen. It’s so non-stop, that at points you can hear him struggling for breath at the end of verses.

For me the best line has to be “She joked.. Gansta-Rap?, I said no, but drop the G, you might start to get a better description of me, Angsta-Rap? she said, if it sticks you’ll regret that”. Really you could pick almost any line from this song as an example of his genius. All the clever references to Hendrix, Coltrane, Johnny Cash, Ray Charles and other legends are manor from heaven to a musically obsessed person like me. If he’s got any other songs half as good as this he should be massive. (MLD: You’re in luck there are four more tracks to download on Myspace, “1000 Words” in particular is well worth a listen).

Morrissey - Life Is A Pigsty (MP3 link)

Stop Me: Morrissey is without question my favourite artist, MLD usually detests him. I can understand that musiclikedirt loved the exciting late ’80’s Rap and Dance revolution, so Morrissey must have seemed like the enemy at the time. But it’s been a few years since then, so could it be time to give him another chance. At first this seemed like one of the weaker tracks from Morrissey’s new album. But I’ve just seen him live and it was undoubtedly the highlight. I love the sinister bass guitar, the atmospheric storm sound-effects and Boz’s surprisingly expressive Milk Bottle playing. Listen at 4.40 when there is a sky-scrapingly majestic guitar solo. Initially I think I was put off by the relatively simple lyrics, but this song doesn’t need clever lyrics. Listen to the way he sings “Life is a pigsty” eight times in a row. Each time he sings it, he charges it with more and more emotion. When his voice is on such form it wouldn’t really matter what he was singing. He could’ve sung “Baked beans have gone up at Tesco” eight times and it would have been just as heart rending. Listen to the chilling way he sings “Cold”, it sends shivers down my spine. Then after he’s plumbed the depths of despair we get the final line “Even now, in the final hour of my life, I’m falling in love, again”. The drums build and build to epic proportions towards the end and seem to echo this joyous personal revelation.

MLD: What are you trying to do to me!? Much as I pride myself on being openminded musically I’ve always drawn a blank where the master of misery is concerned. That said my dislike has mellowed from outright loathing in the 1980’s to indifference now. Its always been a mystery that someone who puts such effort into his lyrics, can allow them to be consistently served up on a musical backdrop that is at best mediocre, and unimaginative. Listening to this my instant reaction wasn’t favourable, but I’ve tried listening quietly on my ipod, and have even put it on the big speakers in case I was missing something just playing it through the computer. The upshot… well its growing on me. The production is overblown and MOR, but the more I listen the more I, well if not like, at least don’t dislike. Perhaps there is a Mozza enhanced future for me yet??? I still prefer the faux lesbians Tatu’s version of “How Soon Is Now?” to the original.. so on second thoughts maybe not.

Beirut - Postcards From Italy (MP3)

MLD:
Destined for my top tracks of 2006 list, “Postcards From Italy” is a glorious mix of mournful brass, ramshackle guitar, and a tune to die for. Mandolins, ukulele’s, cello’s, congo drums, and Rufus/Sufjan-esque vocals enter the musical pot, and come out sounding like they were born to be together.

Order the album from BoomKat.

Stop Me:
Beirut sound like a male Nico or Sufjan Stevens turning his attention to South America. The wonderful Trumpets sound partly funereal and partly celebratory. When the whole Brass section comes back in at 2.54, it’s magical. It also reminded me of the brilliant Hidden Cameras, but without the references to drinking piss.

Akala - Bullshit (free download from Akala’s site)

Stop Me: Akala’s album has been getting rubbished in some quarters and been given rave reviews in others. I think he’s an amazing new talent in Rap, I want to know what musiclikedirt thinks. Its a brilliant and spontaneous list of the things that Akala thinks are quite simply, “Bullshit”. It’s like he wrote ‘Bullshit’ at the top of a piece of paper and wrote down all the things that irritated him. Some of them are deep and political, some of them are just things that were pissing him off on the day he wrote it. So “Third World Debt” is “Bullshit”, but Britain’s weather is “Motherfuckin” Bullshit. The fact that every other line is “Bullshit” means that it’s just very funny, but some of the lines are deadly serious. You might disagree with some of the lines, but it’s about what annoys him, not what annoys you.

MLD: Fantastic stuff! Ms. Dynamite’s little brother had completely evaded my radar, but on the basis of this I’ve just ordered the album. On top of an old fashioned party hiphop tinkly piano loop that reminds me of Naughty By Nature’s “OPP” Akala reels off angry but often funny observations of things that are quite simply bullshit. As Stop Me said I dont agree with everything he says, but that doesn’t really matter.

Akala is doing some of the music festivals, and appeared at Live8 with his sister so hopefully he’ll carve himself a niche, but these are difficult days for people trying to make a living in UK HipHop. I’m sure radio play wasn’t helped by releasing a first single containing dozens of “Bullshits”, although it was probably his damning words on the Iraq war that scuppered it more.

Delia Gonzalez & Gavin Russom - Relevee (Carl Craig Remix) (YouTube dodgy video)- No MP3 due to legal heavies from DFA Records
MLD: Stop Me’s first love is the 2min 30sec guitar song, it arrives, it hits and it leaves… what he needs in his life is 11 minutes of techno wonderment! Carl Craig is in a rich vain of form at the moment turning out a flow of epic remixes, and this is the latest. Delia & Gavins album track is hotwired for the dancefloor, seemingly simple loops & brooding synths, build and build until the 4 minute mark when the drum kicks in and dancefloor mayhem ensues! Check out this YouTube movie to hear what a reaction this track gets.. love the way the dj plays the first bit and then just stands back in awe

Stop Me: This starts off sounding like the theme to ‘Open University’. After a while, it starts to wear a bit thin, then a heavy Drumbeat comes in at 3.45 and livens things up. There are moments like this all the way through when evil “Clockwork Orange” Synths, Tribal Drums and fantastic Jazz Piano parts are introduced. But over the coarse of 11 long minutes these are like finding an oasis in a barren Desert of tedium. I thought LCD Soundsystem, !!!, Fischerspooner and others had killed off this sort of thing. I’d like to hear the original track because I suspect that those flashes of brilliance come courtesy of the Un-Remixed version.

Gnarls Barkley - Crazy (MP3)

Stop Me: The whole world seems to have been going “Crazy” for this song but I’ve been struggling to see why. The drums sound like “Production genius” Danger-Mouse hit the auto setting on a Casio keyboard. The music doesn’t really go anywhere, skip to any part of the song and it’s the same chugging Bass Guitar and maybe some shity Strings. Admittedly Cee-Lo is an amazing singer and his lyrics are fantastic “Even your emotions have an echo, and so much space”. But why is everyone saying this is one of the greatest singles ever written? I feel like I was born with a different set of ears to everyone else and nobody told me. It doesn’t sound any different to the kind of stuff Black Eyed Peas might do. It’s just another under-whelming slice of R’n'B. If only it had rhythm, if it only it had the Blues.

MLD: Number 19 in the top 100 of 2005, and despite it now being inescapable still a favourite. Anything that gets the criminally ignored Cee-Lo to a wider audience has to be good, but “Crazy” is a pop soul classic. Its deceptively basic, and yes the strings are a bit tiny, but you Cee-Lo has crafted a great song onto Dangermouse’s music. Its been covered by loads of people who’ve not really done it justice, the ballad (by Ray Lamontagne) is passable, The Kooks murder it but then it is The Kooks, and its left to Gnarls to do not one but two blinding versions of it, a slow version (showing off Cee-lo’s voice on TOTP (YouTube)) and on Later with Jools Holland with a full band. As “Sweeping The Nation” points out with next single “Smiling Faces” (which I actually prefer) due for a July release we could be “beginning to foresee a Bryan Adams situation where Can’t Stop This Thing We Started had its entire top 40 run while Everything I Do was still number one.” Not that he’s likening Bryan Adams to Gnarls of course!

I was all set to wax lyrical about Lily overcoming gremlins in the sound board, and winning over the crowd with her witty lyrics, infectious smile, and the voice of Janet Kay reborn in a chain smoking white chick, when…Lily posting on her ever entertaining myspace blog declared that it was in fact..

“a shit gig ……………….sorry to anyone who came , I know a bad workman blames his tools and all that , but I had to fire my soundguy tonight, it was rubbish, and if I thought it was me I would put my hands up. I sang my smoke infested little lungs out and it made no difference. I’m so so sorry, I really am. I’m so embarrassed!”

Picking up on the bad workman theme I took some pics but it was very dark, the camera focus was playing up, and the memory card was out of memory… Lily Flickr set here

Also did a review for Gigwise here, and my brother penned an amusing very enthusiastic summing up of her tracks so far, declaring that he may as well “throw the rest of my music collection on a big bonfire and listen to these songs again” Stop Me If You’ve Heard This One Before.

Elsewhere and the backlash has begun. The irony free Guardian accused her of being a middle class mockney with no business talking about life on “da street”, surely similar to being called “a washed-up junkie” by Pete Doherty. It also likened her to GayDad which in a boxing match would see points deducted for low blows! Lily understandably was fairly pissed off:

“The Arctic Monkeys sold records because they gained a huge fanbase from sites like myspace , and then went on to do well . Gay Dad (1999) flopped because they were hyped within the music industry and the music press/ tastemakers before playing gigs and gaining fans. The urban / mockney stuff upsets me , because I think it’s mindless , I sing in an english accent for fuck’s sake , I grew up in London ,and no, I don’t come from Chelsea I come from Angel , yes , I grew up in a middle class family and I’m not trying to hide from it. I don’t talk about pimps , crackwhores and grannies being mugged because I think it makes me cool , I talk about them from an observational perspective.”

The Guardian’s sister paper The Observer has partly made amends by featuring Lily on the cover of this months “OMM”, and a decent article, even if they did refer to her as Lily Cole is the previous days paper.

Channel 4 were at one of her gigs, and “The Death Jam” thought she was great, although shorter and tuffer than expected. He also sweated like a rapist!

I did a review of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs at the Kentish Town Forum for Gigwise.

Great photos of the gig (courtesy of Simon Leak) here and here.

There are more pirouettes, flashes of knicker, banshee wails, and boundless energy in one song from Yeah Yeah Yeahs frontwoman Karen O than most acts cram into a whole tour. Emerging head covered by what appears to be the cloth gypsies use to hide their crystal balls… it’s impossible to take your eyes off her. When finally mid way through ‘Gold Lion’ she theatrically draws down the cloth, you half expect to be told she see’s great wealth and a dark stranger in your future… but no The Forum simply erupts with a couple of thousand people eager to enter the mad world of Karen O.

‘Pin’ follows and is predictably amazing, but ‘Gold Lion’ is a revelation. Hearing the leaked glitched up Diplo remix before the original has the unfortunate consequence of making the recorded version sound like it’s being played by John Peel. Live however it suddenly made sense, fuller, ballsier, with Karen - a picture in gold lame – hyperactively directing proceedings. ‘Honeybear’, ‘Way Out’, ‘Black Tongue’, and the LL Cool-J pilfering ‘Phenomena’ follow an old new old new alternating set list.

Oh hold on… whats Karen up to now?… gulping down water before spitting a torrent high up into the air and down onto the crowd, showering them in her drisel. However such is the level of adoration on display that those drenched react as if sprayed with holy water. Please Karen you missed me, gob again!

There are distinct camps within the crowd. Down the front girls with bob haircuts and dark mascara, boys with legs flailing as they gleefully crowd surf… or was that the other way round? Meanwhile at the back couples hold hands and murmur appreciation at the beauty of ‘Cheated Hearts’, but emit an almost audible tut to the joyfully bonkers ‘Art Star’. Karen prostrate on the floor swallows the mic while ear piercingly screeching the chorus, only to spring up skipping and manically beaming across the stage for the Sesame Streetesque “Do-Do-Do-Do-Da-Do-Da-Do’s”.

‘Y Control’ proves to be the highlight - an absolute anthem - although to what is contentious. Does it refer to the Y chromosome or to controlling former boyfriends, many plausible theories exist, all of which are of little interest to a crowd indulging in a bout of frenzied pogoing. Surprisingly the unheralded ‘Turn Into’ almost betters this before the encore, and the inevitable ‘Maps’. All bands are destined to have a song from which they can never escape (and perhaps never better) and Maps is that tune. Quite simply genius and this reviewer for one was thankful to escape with bottom lip wobble free.

A perfect way to end an excellent gig was followed by the acoustic strum of ‘Warrior’, a tune for which the word turgid was surely invented, but ‘Tick’ saves the day. Karen miraculously still with energy to spare departs screaming: “We’re the fucking Yeah Yeah Yeahs, fucking thank you Brixton, you’ve been fucking great”.

Karen my foul mouthed friend you’re more than fucking welcome!

Great as his music is, lyrics are at the heart of what makes Mike Skinner special. You wouldn’t however know this if you were at Brixton Academy, as verse after verse was lost to a muddy sound mix. That said, the majority of the crowd either didn’t notice or didn’t care as Brixton most definitely bounced to the sound of The Streets.

Skinner was at his best when demonstrating the breadth of styles he can call on, most notably on the fantastic Specials skank of “Lets Push Things Forward”. Equally in what could be dubbed the “E Section” he transformed the Academy into a sweaty congregation of ravers worshipping the twin gods of Ecstasy and the Chicago House piano. “Blinded By The Lights” and “Weak Become Heroes” are the closest anyone will ever get to audibly administering an E. If the reaction of the crowd was anything to go by Skinner would be wise to add a few classic house tracks to album No.4.

The new material fared less well with “Memento Mori” & “All Goes Out The Window” particularly forgettable, but at least better than the turgid “War Of The Sexes”. Vocalist Leo strapped a bass guitar on for the number, but it didnt appear to be plugged in… or if it was the guy on the mixing desk couldn’t find his fader.

Check out Simon Leaks myspace for some superb pics of the night (a couple seen above and below).

“Pranging Out” and the two singles did show that its not all about the older tunes. “Never Went To Church” with its “Let It Be” riff was genuinely moving. How people sing tributes to departed love ones every night on tour is beyond me, it brought a lump to my throat let alone anyone directly involved? With the lines “I miss you dad” Skinner seemed close to tears, but at least everyone present knew the answer to the chorus’s “I hope I made you feel proud?”

With tongue planted firmly in cheek Mike proclaimed his co-vocalist “The second best R&B singer in the UK” second only to Craig David, and for much of the show Leo was centre stage and working the crowd. During the epic strings of “Turn The Page” the track that opened “Original Pirate Material” in such breathtaking style Leo came on stage in boxers gown, shadowing punching. If Stallone needs accompaniment to the running up the stairs lifting logs scene in Rocky 6 he need look no further!

Leo’s vocals were impressive particularly on the outstanding “Has It Come To This” while his warped take on the Pussycat Dolls at the end of “Lets Push Things Forward” got huge cheers:

“Dont you wish your boyfriend was hot like me?..Don’t you wish your boyfriend licked your pussy like me…don’t cha”

The ladies in the crowd went bonkers, while the men wore expressions that said “oh yes and what’s wrong with my technique!?”Mike’s attempts at lothario weren’t quite as successful, at one point he beckoned what I assume was a pretty girl up on stage only to be thwarted when the security guy misheard him and plucked a hairy arsed bloke out of the crowd… much to Skinners horror.

For an encore Mike staged a mini celebration of UK rap, kicking off with a bizarre rendition of “Land Of Hope & Glory”, complete with huge union flag backdrop. I half expected Brian May to bound on for a reprise of his rooftop Jubilee performance, only his poodle headed presence could have made it more grating than it was.

Thankfully The Mitchell Brothers appeared for a rendition of the No.1 that never was “Harvey Nicks”, unfortunately they decided to shout every single line so destroying its wit and charm. Even the appearance of Sway, swaggering on to stage confident in the knowledge that he’s the best rapper in the building couldn’t save it, although its always a joy to hear his show stealing lines:

“A little girl with a pen ran up to me and said “I know who you are”

But when I gave her my autograph she said “Mum… is this how u spell Lemar?”

New Beats signing and star of the inspired remake of “When you wasn’t famous” Professor Green also guested although he didn’t get much of a chance to impress. Lastly Kano all to briefly came on during closer “Fit But You Know It” and Brixton enjoyed one final bout of jumping up and down.

In general The Streets couldn’t have been received to much more acclaim, but the bad sound, and some lacklustre tracks meant I was slightly disappointed by it all. It is however impossible to deny just how good The Streets back catalogue is, and what a fantastic lyricist Skinner remains.

“Dry Your Eyes” stood out as a beautifully observed tale of lost love, its restrained music meant that the lyrics were not swamped by the dodgy sound that crippled so much of the night. Skinner was totally clear and eloquent, while Leo’s chorus’s tugged the heart strings, soaring to a peak finally for “It’s Over”.
