I've been downloading tracks sampled by The Avalanches for Since I Left You recently... 42 different tracks so far, from Daft Punk to Rose Royce to Edmundo Ros. It's just the maddest collection of records imagineable, and difficult to imagine how anyone could stitch the lot together to make something greater than the sum of its parts.

Maybe the leanest and meanest pure rock 'n roll act of all time. When Angus starts sliding up and down the fret board I wanna do devil signs.
And a different tangent, but maybe one of my favourite TV performances ever. The Bonzos with Canyon of Your Mind. The man Jarvis based his whole act on imo. Another God. The fucking awful guitar solo and the bit where he comes on with a mask and the ending burp. Insane brilliance, more rock 'n roll than ANYONE.

How the fuck does he manage to be so good whilst never staying still?
Changing direction, here's a brilliant old bit of film showing Lee Perry in, I think, The Black Ark which was the recording studio he set up in his shed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PE2YEA-t6lo
Jeez, just stumbled on this. I've had this tune in my head for years now and didn't know what it was, except it was by XTC. Great camera work by the front man http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6wcE_cAntg
