I have all my finger and toes crossed as the cd is put into my pc. I'll let you know.<br /><br />But heres the excellent first single, if it takes you home:<br /><br /><br /><object height="350" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/nMq5NOzovXo"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/nMq5NOzovXo" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" height="350" width="425"></object><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34290417-7404685794443610339?l=abandaweek.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Rob Mortimerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10070962082242558718noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34290417.post-83017731338077741362007-02-28T18:47:00.000Z2007-02-28T18:54:38.682ZWhat a way to return...<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">Hadouken!<br /></span><br />Already quite widely tipped, but this song is immense.<br />Its two parts grime, one part Pitchshifter, one part glowstick.<br /><br />Ah sod descriptions, just turn it up LOUD and blow the speakers...<br /><br /><object height="350" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/CgGItLYyBQ0"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/CgGItLYyBQ0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" height="350" width="425"></object><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34290417-8301773133807774136?l=abandaweek.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Rob Mortimerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10070962082242558718noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34290417.post-33668676472573723522007-02-28T18:45:00.000Z2007-02-28T18:46:08.242ZNow my internet is up at my new house, this blog is going to be back up and running very very soon.<br /><br />Prepare to feel my wrath bad music..!<br /><br />(oh and i'll show you stuff I like too)<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34290417-3366867647257372352?l=abandaweek.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Rob Mortimerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10070962082242558718noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34290417.post-1159391006338560792006-09-27T20:56:00.000Z2006-09-27T21:03:30.270ZThis weeks band I first saw in one of those odd moments where your brain goes "I should make a note of this."<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">Battant.</span><br /><br />They were supporting Ladytron up here in 2005, and I literally went, 'whoa, these are gonna be big'. I bought their ep and it was brilliant.<br /><br />Not only that, but they are extremely nice people, and even gave me advice for my first solo gig.<br /><br />Sounding like an electro band with added funk, and with a singer that reminds me of all the best things about Siouxie Sioux (especially on stage).<br /><br /><object height="350" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/GyL4xmXwj5o"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/GyL4xmXwj5o" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" height="350" width="425"></object><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34290417-115939100633856079?l=abandaweek.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Rob Mortimerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10070962082242558718noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34290417.post-1158615942188768012006-09-18T21:37:00.000Z2006-09-18T21:45:49.233ZThis weeks band is the brilliant <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">Breed 77</span>.<br />Its metal but with added <span style="font-style: italic;">flamenco </span>guitars...<span style="font-style: italic;">seriously</span>.<br /><br />Saw them live on Saturday and they were amazing, they can really perform this (singing included) exactly as it sounds on cd. They are sadly underrated.<br /><br />They have a new album out last week, but this is the best song from their second album. You'll believe that flamenco guitars can be part of metal, oh yes.<br /><br /><object height="350" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/lTlLHORbMPM"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/lTlLHORbMPM" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" height="350" width="425"></object><br /><br />Let me know what you think!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34290417-115861594218876801?l=abandaweek.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Rob Mortimerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10070962082242558718noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34290417.post-1158084480821145242006-09-12T18:02:00.000Z2006-09-12T18:08:00.833ZHello, its "Famous Rob" from the <a href="http://the-ad-pit.blogspot.com/">Ad-Pit</a> here...<br /><br />So many people I know complain that they never bother to check out new or interesting music. This blog is designed to provide with one new track/album/video a week to view and increase your musical boundaries.<br /><br />This is specifically aimed at <a href="http://joymachine.typepad.com/">Northern Planner</a>, who has made a target of hearing one new band a week on his <a href="http://lifeinthemiddle.typepad.co.uk/letsseewhathappens/">Lets See What Happens Pledges</a>.<br /><br /><br />This weeks band is:<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">The Klaxons<br /></span><br /><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Qbl1ME-T5CQ"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Qbl1ME-T5CQ" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object><br /><br />Sounding like Indie Disco raised on acid house parties. Odd but completely brilliant. What do you think to this week's band?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34290417-115808448082114524?l=abandaweek.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Rob Mortimerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10070962082242558718noreply@blogger.com3
