Any of you like the geezer? I think he's awesome. Very enjoyable, very entertaining, very talented, very intricate, very intelligent, and very innovative.

Any thoughts on him?

He's fun. And yes, Rabbit in Your Headlights is a great track, and great video, too.

ah boo hoo

yeah, hes cool, lenny- do you prefer Entroducing? - more hip-hop-y, or Private Press- more beats driven? -- ps. UNKLE did kick a huge amount of ass.

UNKLE was great, and I, for one, thought both of Shadow's records were great in their own rights. Private Press is more fun to listen to. But Entroducing is a much better musical achievement.

one of the coolest things re: UNKLE, was all the toys and other random collateral Mo'Wax released at the time the CD came out.

re: PP- yes, lots of fun, esp. Mashin' On The Motorway'

UNKLE is just basically DJ Shadow, with "concept" and little help from the label head, James Lavelle, and some famous singers.

The video is really spanking, though. And I don't have Psyence Fiction, man. I never really had the chance to get it, as my local CD stores don't have it, so for now, I just have their EPs.

And when DJ Shadow adds piano to any of his tracks, he just makes it sound so...authentically amazing, if that makes any sense whatsoever.

Same. But I don't own Akira. I don't really own any anime, as it's just...not my thing, although I've seen Akira. But I got to try that out.

I hear that DJ Shadow is working with blink182 on their new album, which is due out sometime this fall. I'm not a big blink182, but it might be worth listening to the album for some kind of trip-hop subtleties. Trip-pop. Haha, that's clever... ok, guess not.

Yeah. He needs to start working on another album. Maybe something completely new, maybe a combination of what was good about Entroducing... and The Private Press.

It's called "Pushin' Buttons Live," featuring Cut Chemist and DJ Nu-Mark. It's over 12 minutes long and pretty damn fun.

Plus it's got fuckin ill packaging.

has it got some wacky black + red design on the front? i cant remember exactly, but i think i might have skimmed over this rather carelessly at the local record shoppe.

damnit, i have to go find it.

No, it's very similar to the original artwork, just in a paper cd case, with a more complex cover that includes a monkey instead of a duck. There also is another extra track I forgot about. The original version of Giving Up The Ghost.

The only thing that's I don't really like is the singing part of Blood on the Motorway. It's sort of corny. But the music in that song is awesome. And Mashin' on the Motorway is great.
