The Man in Eight Straightjackets - Live at Oslo 5

I'm mildly happy with most of this. It's the first half of my set on the 4th of July, but you can actually hear where I kind of abandon it in the final transition before the old fave Plastic Bags. Basically the entire bar had emptied to go and watch fireworks and the last remaining couple of guys had just asked if I had any Springsteen. I was miserable.

Listen to the mix and let me know what you think.

Frankenhoused Fourth

Thanks to all that came out to absorb the last Oslo Report! The night started off quite slow - ahem - at one point there was no one in the bar as even the bartender and the DJ (The Man in Eight Straight Jackets) stepped out during the 4th of July fireworks. But after the fireworks - the musics started bangin'. Here are some pics from the night.

So good - it's free.

The drippins ...

The meat sauce was mighty tasty at the last Oslo. Here are some of the drippins ....

Meat Sauce

As always ...

Some pre-Oslo treats for your aural chewing.

From the Kitsune Maison Vol. 4 compilation - a straightforward builder, starts out slow, but it can't go wrong with the crystal clear distortions and synths:

The Whip - Divebomb

... and from Freude Am Tanzen

Wighnomy Brothers - Epinikkion

This track is very subtle as it builds a low chugging tension. Kinda sneaky.

Musics

Bang! Bang! Some musics recorded live at last week's Oslo for ya:

The Oslo Report 2007.05.10 - Revelator Part 1
The Oslo Report 2007.05.10 - Revelator Part 2

We had a good turn out. Broke the dance barrier. Not only that - broke the break-dance barrier. Now that's sumpin.

Definitely the best Oslo so far. Some really rumbly and rowdy tracks made it hard to leave at the end of the night. Live mix snip coming soon ...
