Pendulum/Prodigy



A couple of music videos for you here. The one at the top is by the band Pendulum, a shared love of both myself Joe and my oldest son Joe. 'Swinging' (geddit?) between rock, indie and thumping drum 'n' bass, they're a breath of fresh air within the UK music scene, appealing to a broad spectrum of music lovers. The first video strikes a blow for those of us in the "portly/rotund" section of society, although contrary to internet rumour, it's not me in the video...

The second video, is a Pendulum remix of an old Prodigy classic, Voodoo people. I love the Prodigy's punky outlook on the rave scene. It was fresh and original, dark and brooding as the quite disturbing video shows. I've seen them twice, and believe me, when they kick off, everyone in the house is rocking! expect more from both bands during 2009, though I'll resist the urge to throw up a load of videos which people ignore.

I know the first song! In fact I used to listen to it a lot. It's in Motorstorm, and for a long time that game's demo was on the top of my demo list, so every time I turned my PS3 on it would play that song nonstop.

cheers Nebacha, cheers Mikey. I guess I'll always put the tunes up there, I'll just try and pepper them in between relevent gaming posts!
