Born in Salford in 1965, MACCER made partying into a lifestyle, and hard partying into a religion. He invented the musical style that became known as EXTREMELY BAGGY. There isn't a drug he hasn't tried, a form of self abuse he has not practiced and a musical taboo he has not broken. With The Gurning Chimps he took the sound of Manchester to the world. The world did not know what had hit it. For years, Maccer and the rest of The Chimps, under the careful stewardship of notorious manager Pabsy (whatever happened to him?) toured the world, leaving a trail of destruction, stains and mayhem whereever they went...

If you're 30+ and just didn't like it back then, that's one thing. But if you've moved on since then and now have contempt for what you grew up on: grow up again.

oh man, i need to get a new xbox for this.
was it common knowledge that tim sweeney of beats in space fame compiled the vice city and san andreas GTA soundtracks? think i only found that out recently.

Ah, right. 's a shame it didn't pan out - there's heaps of music in the GTA:IV stations I first heard through Optimo mixes (Fela Kuti's "Zombie" on Drum Attack!!); would've been amazing to have a new mix from you guys.
The ambient station looks excellent - music from Koyaanisqatsi, ha!

one of the promos for the game featured 'optimo' the track pretty heavily.

Anyway, did you know that GTA IV is profiting from violence?

I can't believe more people haven't commented on getting Roy Haynes on the jazz station - dude drummed for Charlie Parker! & pretty much everyone else!
Wish the Kavinsky on François K's station wasn't the fucking Sebastian mix, sigh. Including Nitzer Ebb just makes me wish they'd put Front 242's "Headhunter" on the station (which then makes me wish they could have fitted Renegade Soundwave's "Probably A Robbery" on ... somewhere).

GTA IV -- Vladivostock FM popped up on eMusic. Looks interesting. Anyone heard it (or portions thereof)? Any good?

the best bit about this game is not to know the stations then you freak out when audio gold comes one.
like Underwater or last night i had "just be good to me", and theres quite a lot of underrated songs, especially on the rock station.
I wouldnt buy any Cds of it though, because you interact with the surroundings, you link the music to your actions far more than with a film soundtrack, so I think just sitting down and listening to the music would be an anticlimax.
