I got this weird album yesterday called Music For Batman and Robin by The Spacemen on Roulette. I can't seem to find any info about it on the internet but it's from 1966 and it's a load of surf/exotica stuff that seems to have been given what can only be described as a dub treatment; loads of echo, reverb and bits where it fades in and fades out and repeats and stuff.
It's not anything to do with that Arkestra Batman record is it? Probably not, but you can download that one from WFMU so I thought I would mention it.

Let's Talk About Ceps
Just got Coil's 1994 Born Again Pagans EP (credited to 'Coil vs. ELpH') - the first track is just mind-meltingly groovy squeebly-burbly acid house goodness. :D
 
I watched the BBC3 Glastonbury highlights show last night, and in among Wiley going 'oggy, oggy, oggy' with hot chip, Dizzee with Calvin Harris, an excellent performance of Unfinished Sympathy and motoril Manu Chao performance, there was Lykke Li doing a live, acoustic version of I'm Good, I'm Gone. And it/she was stunning.

Her BBC3 Glasto performance might be available on their iPlayer, but in the meantime, here's another, not as good, version on youtube.

^ little bit is real nice.

i'm hooked on MGMT at the moment.

"Time To Pretend" is just far too good, ridiculous lyrics, stupid big production, psychedelic/pretentious video, and so accessible that my 3 year old is just as hooked as me.

its the kinda power pop that makes me want to throw out crates of minimal techno since that all seems so impotent in comparison.

youtube has these videos, plus high quality versions for download in the description:
Electric Feel

I've been digging deeper into the Kosmische side of Krautrock - specifically Harmonia (which is Neu + Cluster). Amazing, dreamy, hypnotic, early electronic music. Haven't heard the second album yet (De Luxe) but the first one (Musik Von Harmonia) is cool as hell.

Also been listening to the utter freakout that is "Deceit" by This Heat. The transcendent moments on that album are so good that it's worth sitting through the screaming and aimless noodling of the rest of it :)
