Close to the Noam...

Well what can we say eh??. You sit there waiting ages for a Lipton & Jarvis mixtape dooly, and then two turn up at once!!!. LoL, lmao, BELM, etc...
Pair of goodies though these two - The first is in lieu of our next 'Close to the Hedge' session up at the very Ace GREEN CHIMNEY IN COLNE which falls on Friday March 21st (Ltd cd versions to be given away on the night).
The second is a bit special and all - It's chock full of of Chomsky, doing what he does best, illustrating truths and injustice as only he can. His wise words are soundtracked by all manner of aural sexiness including choice numbers by, among others; Herbert Eimert, Giorgio Carnini, and Cecil Leuter.
Here's the really smart bit though - They've only gone and called it 'A break from the Noam' haven't they??. Not Norm, but Noam!!. As in Noam Chomsky!!!. Lol, lmao, BELM, etc.....

(Both mixes can be found RIGHT HERE!!!).

The 'Cloud is dead. Long live the 'Cloud...

Right then. In the last month or two our SoundCloud account has come to be a pain in the backside. If it weren't enough hassle having to redo / scratch one out of every three or four mix tapes due to their zealous content Police, there's been countless other agg to deal with. Not worth the time in other words. Or the pennies. So we're knocking the SoundCloud thing right on the head for now, at least until their service provision is altered massively.
Now, before all you Hipster Doofus' (Doofi??) out there start skriking uncontrollably at being forced to question the legitimacy of existence in a world free from our many kind freebies, calm yourselves. We're shifting it all over to MixCloud instead. (AND YOU CAN FIND IT ALL RIGHT HERE!!)
"But what about the ability to Download your incredible selections", we hear you cry. Fair point. As our luddite selves understand it, just Google 'How to download from MixCloud', and all your Christmasses just came at once. (other search engines are available).
ONCE AGAIN FOLKS - OUR MIXCLOUD ACCOUNT IS RIGHT HERE.

Love THIS

Well it's that time of year already folks, where whether we like it or not, romance is shoved right down our throats (ooh Matron, Fnarr, Fnarr, etc etc). A time-served occasion affording star-crossed Lovers the opportunity to splurge their hard-earned spondoolix on more heart-shaped trinkets and what-not just as their bank balances begin their post-Yuletide recovery, while ostracisng all manner of singletons because they aren't able to properly celebrate another cynical sales opportunity by greetings card peddlers the world over.

Not that we here at 0282 are totally against any form of public or private displays of passion. Or tenderness. Or affection. Or indeed anything along those lines. So let us provide you with this here 'MIXTAPE THINGY' (RIGHT HERE!!!) to soundtrack any amourous activity you may find yourself involved in this Valentine's Day, whether with a group of open-minded individuals fuelled by boxed wine, alone with that special someone, or perhaps an onanistic adventure of your own making. Whatever tickles your fancy, it's fair to say that one thing we can all agree on is the sort of sounds that will get our collective motors running. That's right - Wonky un-Pop and Foreign Psychedelia. Enjoy...

MixCloud Doings

Right then. So it seems that there's a few of you out there in "I know we're getting quality gear for free, but we still want it tailoring to suit our ungrateful needs" land, and with that in mind, we've started a MixCloud account to compliment our already much under-appreciated, greatly ignored, SoundCloud doings.
Any attempt on your parts to give a little back for a change, instead of take, take, taking all the time would be greatly appreciated. Really. So give yourself a quick earful of a few tasty morsels RIGHT HERE, with a view to increasing our listening stats, in order to make us appear far more popular than we could ever hope to be in real life. Thanks x.
For those who require a visual stimulus to accompany our inane ramblings, find enclosed some posters for a couple of upcoming 0282-related 'gigs'. Please feel free to 'like', and 'share', and all that disingenuous guff...

Close to the Hedge

What better way to start 2014 than to procure a new residency playing odd Folky records at a splendiferous East Lancs Caff that sells Real Ale besides all manner of tip-top fodder??
We're that chuffed with the new night we're doing at The Green Chimney in Colne that we've only gone and done an exclusive mixtape in celebration of the fact haven't we??
You can download it RIGHT HERE if you're so inclined.
Like the poster says, it all starts on Friday 24th January. Hope to see you there.....x

Sonic Yootha

If there's one question your good friends here at 0282 have been asked the most down the years, without a doubt it would have to be "Pray tell - What is your favourite short story featuring an illustrated rendition of Yootha Joyce??".

As you'd expect, it's a difficult one to answer, but after much deliberation we have made our minds up at last. Enjoy....

Free Sided Square : 09

So, this is Christmas. And what have you done??.
The generous folks here at 0282 gave away a good several 'mix CDs' at our Yuletide knees up last Saturday at t'Ministry of Ale which were gratefully received. Perhaps you were unaware of said event. It's possible that you or somebody close to you were struck down by one of them virus things that seem to be on the up. Maybe you just realised it was raining outside and decided to give it a miss, even though you promised a close friend you would be there no matter what.
Regardless, such is our altruistic nature, YOU can download a copy of said mix right HERE. And yes, the last one included in the blog was Number 2. It was an old one, remember??. We've put this up now because of the Christmas thing and all that. If ya don't like how we do things round here then tough turd, you ungrateful Gets...
Seasons Greetings to the rest of you. See ya next year....x
