---------------------------------------------------------

The original idea for this was to do a quick DJ-style mix of some of the music I'd really liked in 2010, as some sort of a 'internet gift' gesture to all the lunatics who still give half a shit about what I do (or don't do, more accurately). That idea didn't last long, as I soon realised new music in 2010 had almost completley passed me by. So I've thrown a few recent tunes in with a load of old ones, stirred it up overnight, shoved it into a limiter for 10 minutes and here's the result.

This is not 'Radio Soundhog Vol. 8', as that will never exist. This is probably the nearest thing I've done to a "regular dance music mix", so apologies to those expecting intricate cut and paste shizzle, but that's not to say that some bits aren't put together in a way that nobody else could. Or would want to? I've no idea. There are also nods to some people who left the planet in 2010 who meant a lot to me. Play it loud, play it drunk, but don't let the pips get stuck in your ears.

Human League remix thing...

...of their new record. 'Released' the other day, to no interest whatsoever, as per fucking usual.  It's very long, and probably too slow, at 120bpm, to get the drug-addled kids of 2010 throwing shapes on the dancefloors of the world. I'm very out of touch, and frankly I prefer it that way. It also features a chorus of singing synthesizer ducks, and Phil Oakey doing an impression of a Dalek doing an impression of Phil Oakey. I really know how to sell stuff, eh?

Marvin vs Mansun. Again. Without pictures, this time.

After being asked by, ooh, about three people, I've made a standalone audio version of that section of RsH7.  Some would say I'm milking it, some would say it's 'utterly painful' (and then bravely delete the comment, nice one 'CCC'), most wouldn't give a shit.  Anyway, if you feel the need, here it is.  You should be able to download it as well, by clicking that downward pointing arrow thing, so you can load it into your mobile phone and annoy people at bus stops. Now way past it's allotted 100 downloads, I've reupped it to Mediafire [here]...

Soundhog - Take It Easy, Marvin - [Mansun vs Marvin Gaye] by soundhog

T'ra.

Marvin Gaye vs Mansun - RsH7 Video Preview

Radio Soundhog Volume 7 as a full 60 minute video?  Might happen, might not.  If it does, here's an idea of what to expect...

Could this be the only Marvin Gaye m@$h*p on YouTube that's actually in tune?  Very likely.  Have a search around if you don't believe me, paying particular attention to one involving Madcon's awful cover of 'Beggin' along with '...Grapevine'.  You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll wince, you'll hopefully have some idea of why I detest m@$h*ps and their talentless creators so much.

Mansun.  Fu*kin' ace, they were.

Welcome to the all new cheapskate site.

Good evening. T.A.F.K.A.S. here.

So, I'm in the process of flicking the 'off' switch on my proper website after four years' worth of steadily declining interest, and replacing it with this low budget version. I'll be posting up some of the better material from the archive over the coming days/weeks, which will be hosted on Mixcloud for listening to, YouTube for looking at, and probably some file hosting site (complete with adverts for pills to make your willy/tits get bigger or something) for the download versions. Not ideal, I agree, but it's this or nothing.

I'd better start knocking this into shape, then... gimmie that hammer.
