JB's Listenings Of The Week, 6/18-25/10

Rah Digga - "Dirty Harriet"

Flipmode alumni Rah Digga's first disc, "Dirty Harriet", sounds right at home with Busta's output of the time - slick but tough beats, grimy flows and those trademark shouting choruses. Busta actually produced the awesomely-titled opener "Harriet Thugman".





Glide

Late great Aussie rockers Glide have once again slipped into my regular listening cycle. They're the kind of band where every time I go back to them I get angry at myself for being away so long. Absolutely fucking fantastic.





Magazine - "Shot By Both Sides"

Another band to check off my "one of these days" list. "Shot By Both Sides", an early example of post-punk, retains the energy of the first wave British punk from which it came, but fuses it with a rather angular melodicism. The original single version is better (simpler production), but I couldn't find it.
