Friday Radio - Technology week

Greetings fair music lovers,

This week we'll log on to the tunes about technology.
Whether you love the convenience it brings, or hate it for destroying the sincerity of analog, you've got to admit that it'll be hard to imagine life without it.


Let's start with electronica...


"RICH GIRLS" - THE VIRGINS (THE TWELVES REMIX)

very daft punk/justice like...

then the fab four

"SGT PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND" - THE BEATLES

ADT, or Automatic Double Tracking, was invented for this album. read more about it here http://www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/archives/26065#more-26065

the soundscape maestros

"KID A" - RADIOHEAD

A song about cloning and the possibilities & dangers of technology.

"DIGITIALISM" - POGO



and this one sounds like robots communicating and farting at the same time

PING ISLAND/LIGHTNING STRIKES TWICE RESCUE OPS(taken from The Life Aquatic OST)



and finally an ode to technology..haha

"ALWAYS AND FOREVER" - KIP

yes... i love technology


Now beam in your favourite songs about technology!

Next week's theme... I HEART THE 90S

Check out our chat box at www.fridayradio.blogspot.com

Happy Friday!




ANDREW:

Autechre - Gantz Graf

I don't think i've ever felt so emotionally attached to a 3d model...


JASON:

Mario Piu - Communication (Somebody Answer The Phone)

Love the sample at the heart of this. To quote one of the comments, 'Very freek song. Love it'

She Blinded Me With Science - Thomas Dolby

Still weird (wired) after all these years....

Blue Monday - New Order
More a techy song than a song about tech. I call the 12" vinyl, played through headphones at volume setting '11', the 'tinnitus mix'

History Repeating - The Propellorheads & Ms Shirley Bassey

Well propellorheads are techy, right? Any excuse to link this track, compete with hokey video...


TOM:

Meneo – Basic

Crazy Spanish guy who’s show involves taking his clothes off and jumping around with a gameboy.
Mental.

Hudson Mohawke - Zoooooom

Glasgow legend!

Rustie – Zig Zag

Another one!

Got to include some Kraftwerk too
The Robots



ANU:

Daft Punk - Around The World

Still so good.

Chris Cunningham + Aphex Twin - Rubber Johnny

Weird, weirder, weirdest.

Squarepusher - Hello Meow

On what you can do the humble bass.

Squarepusher - My Red Hot Car

One more.

Regurgitator - My Friend Robot

Oz legends.

Nine Inch Nails - Closer

Techy rock. Need I say more.
