Merely average links to some fantastic websites;
The personal website of one Clive Product, who happens to be one of the main antagonists behind another site; this one! A slightly zany experience with songs to download. Well worth a look, even if just to see where the warped minds behind this project are coming from.
Unofficial tribute site to 'the only british musician who ever really had the blues' run by Big Untidy's friend Pascal... Containing everything you want to know, and some things you didn't know you wanted to (?), this is a fantastically complete site for all those fans out there. Or right here..
9pm-records.de (both english and german)
This is the 9pm Records website. Europe's laboratory and nucleus for exceptional schemes in terms of pop music
Trashville is a little shop window for a bunch of lo-fi, DIY, outsider and wonderfully warped artistes. As well as promoting regular shows, Trashville operates as a micro label and agency and here at the homestead you can find news about all these goings on. Welcome to Trashville - you might never leave
At last the citizens of the world get the chance to listen to some great sounds free. Music industry boss are said to be “inconsolable”.
Sordid
But various celebrities including Neil Young, MC Hammer, Eminem, Robbie Williams, Neil Armstrong, Cliff Richard, Aled Jones, Neil Diamond, Princess Diana, Cradle of Filth, Cherie Blair and Trevor McDonald, have either welcomed the site or treated it with complete indifference.
Outrage
So don’t be afraid to engage, connect, explore. Go ahead and download. Musical musts are only a click away. And we’d love to hear from you. Contact us with your comments however cruel and irrelevant.
When Big Untidy got the chance to link with “the only Finnish record store south of the Baltic” why would we not seize that chance with both hands and arms wide open? [Don’t you just lurve the English language?]
Based in Fuerth, Germany the on-line operation can be found at www.kioski.de and offers CDs and DVDs from across Scandinavia alongside books, magazines and games including the apparently traditional Finnish game of Polkky. (Sorry Martti I cant do all those umlauts and things that are such a part of the Finnish language.)
The band merchandise pages are frankly astounding but what really caught my eye was the liquorice liqueur which Martti describes as “A) a very Finnish drink and B) the curse of the Western World”. Me, I don’t care I’m gonna get me some.
Martti will be contributing downloads to Big Untidy in the near future but for now do yourself a favour and get over to kioski for a browse and maybe even some very Finnish liquorice liqueur.
Leo O'Kelly used to be described as "The Recluse of Irish Music". That was years ago! Lately Leo has been seen and heard more in the media than perhaps in the previous twenty! Many people who were fans of his work with Tir na nOg hardly even knew what Leo looked, let alone sounded,like. Though still keeping a somewhat aloof distance, much of this mystery has been unveiled...or has it?
"Life and Living is a radio show that we hope has served as a place to play and display quite a variety of audible stuff, composed largely of sounds made by people who have experienced distress in their lives, are maybe there right now or who might still have that pleasure to come. Our London-wide team of contributors is augmented by our United States department, who have consistently breathed fresh air into our shows from across the pond. Long may this local/ global mix bloom and grow."
"...the East Village is as much a place as a state of mind...the community can be understood by anyone with the right attitude, be they from Hoboken or Tokyo."
