Seahawks Friday download 7
No new Seahawks track this week, as you can see the captain is having a well earned nap after some work on deck. This Friday we bring to you one of our fave yacht rock tunes, Hall und Oates ‘When the morning comes’. A beauty of a tune that’s sure to tickle your Friday feeling. Until next week shipmates.
Have a fantastical weekend on the high seas.

Nostalgic skate & BMX photos
My brother Chris has been uploading loads of old skate & BMX pics to facebook which makes me realise how much I miss skating, particularly at spots like this at St Newlyn East (RIP) and (not pictured but still alive) Playing Place.
The hottest chip and hot vids
Loving the video for my fave neighbour's band Hot Chip at the moment directed by Peter Serafinowicz.
Embedding the vid is disabled on youtube so just click here
On the subject of videos, I saw this recently and loved it.

Right then, off for a pub lunch, enjoy your sunday situations.

Beaver Lake Cree vs Tar Sands
SUPPORT THE BEAVER LAKE CREE!
As well as risking runaway climate change, expanding tar sands developments in Alberta, Canada, are bringing about a local ecological disaster with profound consequences for indigenous communities such as the Beaver Lake Cree Nation.
Not willing to stand by and let this happen, the Beaver Lake Cree have launched a legal challenge to stop further tar sands developments within its ancestral lands, taking on not just the governments of Alberta and Canada, but also the world’s largest oil companies.
I'm very happy to announce my involvement and have designed two t-shirts to help raise funds for their challenge against the tar sands developers and the government.
Please give your support to this campaign if you can as we can't let 'the man' get away with this bulls**t.

Many thanks.

Past Blast
Mr Barney recently passed on an old photo of a painting I did in a vacant shop on Oldham St Manchester and thought I'd post it.

John Cale by Pete Fowler
A portrait of the Welsh music legend John Cale for Red Bull's Daily Note paper. Film by the Chance Collective.
Céleste Boursier-Mougenot at Barbican Centre, London
To anyone in London, you MUST see this show at the Barbican. I went last night and totally fell for it. Magical, natural, electric and a thing of wonder.

Soft Rock Explosion - Big Chill Bar 10th March
Monsters At Work present-
SOFT ROCK EXPLOSION
"We blew the whole budget on Recording...."
We salute the 'Big West Coast 70's Studio Sound.
Celebrating the bygone, golden age of recording studios, big budgets, smooth rock and the west cost sound of the mid 70's to the early 80's in all its overblown and ultra produced glory. Myself and Jon Tye are joined by our very special guest Leo Zero, producer, remixer, art director and designer extraordinaire.

Big Chill Bar Wednesday 10th march 1974
7pm-12am free entry
The Big Chill Bar
Dray Walk (off Brick Lane)
London E1 6QL
In Leo's own words...
I've got this image of a pipe smoking guy in a cable knit sweater carefully adjusting a Fairchild compressor worth tens of thousands of dollars....or a shot from the back of a Steely Dan album where they've just recorded the 50th different guitar solo take for Peg and have finally struck gold.
It's like sonic perfection was finally accomplished sometime in 1974 in a gargantuan studio in California called something like "Sea Haze" and ever since we've been marvelling at how and why nothing has ever sounded quite so syrupy-rich and gorgeous ever again....
One part BBC stereophonic workshop, one part George Lucas's Industrial Light and Magic, and one part country club (with cocaine instead of boiled sweats in a bowl on the reception) these places were the epicentre of all things Soft Rock, Yacht Rock, decadent and overblown.
The sonic elves & wizards who inhabited these realms where the cooler, hairier Californinan cousins of our chocolate brown clad open university type. With their original 'nerd chic'...like British 70's techies but with a technicolour LA / Frisco glow. Just like that Fast Show guy, but with valve amps instead of test tubes.
These Studios offered up A decades worth of incredibly lush headphone treats before slowly going a bit pear-shaped by the mid eighties. Just like Dirk Diggler's painful Boogie Nights recording session. It was all over by 1985 - all the drums had nasty gated tin can reverb and the haircuts we're more memorable than the music.
But for a while these places, and 'The Dan', 'The Mac', 'The Doobie's and all their contemporaries had hit musical perfection, with an audio mastering, and vinyl production zenith at the time to match.
To anyone with a decent pair of ears, these slabs of vinyl history make todays mp3s sound like a serious step backward... So tonight we'll be focusing on big, daft, 70's rock records that hit you like being tango'ed with a thick creamy wodge of Rhodes Piano and vocal harmony -
So tonight it's all about a "rich tapestry of sound / sonic landscapes / analogue warmth / dynamic range" - man.
Leo Zero.
