Beaucoup Fish

 

I cracked out the Underworld the other day for a writing session and got to wondering where the seemingly found-sound sample at the beginning of Beaucoup Fish's track "Jumbo" came from. Leave it Reddit to supply an answer. From a Drowned in Sound interview with Karl Hyde from 2010, you can read all about it HERE (the specific reference to the sample is in the final paragraph of the interview).

I have this list of things friends recommend to me. I always feel a bit bad, because it sometimes takes me years to get around to a lot of it. But I do try to get around to as much of it as I can. Case in point: it's gotta be three years since Mr. Brown recommended HBO's Painting with John, a short-episode show where Lounge Lizards co-founder and Jim Jarmusch regular John Lurie pontificates on everything from New York to sunsets to Barry White, all while working on his iconic watercolor paintings. Here's a trailer:

   

I put this one last night when it was too late to start a movie, and K and I both kind of fell in love with the show. Lurie has fascinated me, ever since Mr. Brown gifted me No Pain For Cakes, the Lounge Lizards 1987 album that just hit me at the exact right time. Painting with John has kind of done exactly the same thing.

Trailer: Karl Hyde (Underworld) & Kieran Evans' The Outer Edges

A description via Underworld's email/newsletter thingy: "The film tracks a peripheral route from north Essex to the Thames; a journey that follows the flow of the River Roding from its source to its conclusion at Barking Creek and along the Thames Gateway to Tilbury. Stopping off at allotments, boxing clubs, Saturday markets and working men’s clubs, the film celebrates the vibrant energy and attitudes of the people living and working within London’s invisible borders – the unmapped boundaries that Hyde crossed each day to record the album. Cut entirely to a soundtrack made up of deconstructed Edgeland tracks, The Outer Edges offers a fascinating insight into lives lived along the edges of London. The Outer Edges will be premiered at Sonar Sound in Tokyo on April 7th, and then released as part of the  Edgeland CD/DVD package on April 22nd."
