Aeroplane Mix

It’s been a while since the last post — stupid Dreamhost managed to lose underseacommunity.com entirely for over 2 weeks. :( I need to move the blog offa that, I think.
What have I been listening to recently? Well, the Santogold vs Diplo mixtape — I’m still not sure about Santogold, but Diplo, he’s still killing it. Great tunes, strongly recommend downloading this.
I wanted to go listen to the Farmleigh Affair, get some world music and picnics in with a gang of kiddies we were minding for the weekend — but guess what, the fucking organisers failed to deliver our tickets. Improvised Music Company? Improvised fucking Competence Company more like. Why bother (failing to) post out tickets to a free gig anyway? what’s wrong with me just printing the email off on my printer, and use that as the ticket… grr.
Anyway. Right now my killer tunage is on this:
Aeroplane Summer 2008 promo mix (via 2-4-hours)

Aeroplane are doing great stuff these days… here’s another one from the mix:

They lost your site for two weeks? How??? I was considering moving but I’ve got 3 years of stuff right there.

yep. Basically, the fileserver that was holding all the files for my sites, and hundreds of others, crashed, and they had to restore from backups… and that took a VERY long time. Shocking stuff.
Dreamhost are super-cheap, but you get what you pay for I guess :(
