if nu-rave is here, can neo-balaeric be far behind..? apparently not - click here for Idolator’s intriguing profile of Mungolian Jet Set - as captured live above. or try here to see the UK’s own super-hyped equivalents, A Mountain Of One, blissing out the Spitz.
you may also want to digitally ingest the ‘Balaeric Sabbath’ mix posted up by Mike Simonetti (of Italians Do It Better and Troubleman) over at the Allez-Allez blog.
oh, additionally, The Guardian recently ran an article on the proliferation of musical revivals - it’s a bit glib, but still valid…

it wd be fair to say that i’m the least metal amongst the Plan B editorial team (although naturally mercurial) but still it falls upon me to bring you a link to the legendary doc Heavy Metal Parking Lot. (part the first above, part the second, here.)
instructive to compare the gambolling innocents of the original with a (entirely unconnected and self-appointed) sequel shot in 2000, peopled by a very much more jaded crowd… is metal in remission, or has it mutated?

deeply uncertain as to what i feel about Suge Knight making a reality TV series… certainly repulsed by the awful WASP TV voice-over turning hip-hop slang into marketing buzzwords (”It’s time to…stop snitching…” - what does that even mean in this context?)
meanwhile, yr boy Dizzee Rascal does some kind of (promotional) freestyle for AOL’s inhouse hip-hop appropriation chamber. still, it’s really heartening to see how hungry he is after all this time.

proving again that the Plan B blog is not so much one of those that updates ceaselessly, with little real point, but very occasionally (with little real point) please find above yr gateway to a sweet documentary on The Breeders (this is part one; finding the others shd not exhaust yr sleuthability). Kim & Kelley have rampant charisma, even when all-but horizontal - spend forty or so minutes with them.
