Stopped by Low End Theory last night for the return of the UK's darling daughter DJ Mary Anne Hobbs. The last time she was in town, there was a line down the street so it wasn't a surprise to be watching the show from the damn taco counter again. Nevertheless, she recently released an excellent compilation of inspiring new dubstep entitled Wild Angels and is in the U.S. promoting it [buy it here]. The night's unbilled special guests were Nosaj Thing (whose track "IOIO" appears on Wild Angels) and Flying Lotus who continue to slaughter ear drums with some of the most progressive beats of the decade. Last we saw Nosaj Thing he was opening for The Glitch Mob at the Roxy. Bjork was in the audience and it's only a matter of time before other majors start to take notice of this guy's talent. Personally, we think a Nosaj/Bjork collab is inevitable.
Some may forget that Nosaj Thing is an alumna of Sean Carnage's Mondays, which is where we were this past week. And if you weren't there, you missed a good one. We'll spare you the wordy rhetoric and let videos do the talking -- although the picture above should explain things somewhat clearly. Also, keep in mind when watching the Ahab video that it's Monday at midnight and, yes, those are kids dancing (take notes Silver Lake). More Carnage next week with Bestial Mouths and friends.
And, in closing, mixing Activia and Flinstones vitamins does not make you shit rainbows. But it was worth the try.
