The ever-missed John Peel used to theorise that any record with birdsong on it would probably be automatically good. (The title track of Bridget St. John's Ask Me No Questions, which Peelie produced and released on his Dandelion label, even takes a break at the end for an interval of church bells and hand-picked birdsong clips from the BBC Archives).


i sort of feel the same about records with the sound of barking dogs on. i will pretty much always listen to a track that features a dog barking, even if it is completely gratuitous, silly or unrelated to the song. This holds true even if the dog is hamfistedly sampled (DMX), not even a real dog (Slim Gaillard), or even both at the same time (the truly egregious Woofers and Tweeters Ensemble). i'm still not quite sure why this is.

Anyway, July's mixtape is entitled Hey There's a Dog Over There!¹ and each of the 20 tracks feature either real or simulated woofing. Weirdly, i've got enough of this sort of stuff to make another mixtape again of it, so i might drop that some time in the future.

1. M.I.A. – "Bamboo Banga" (from Kala, 2007)
Dog action? Some barking samples, most notably the confusingly sexy bit where she sings about "doggin' on the bonnet of your red Honda" (blimey) and a vicious-sounding snarl abruptly breaks the reverie.

2. Bilge Pump – "Sling Yr Hook" (Let Me Breathe, 2002)
Dog action? Full-on free jazz barking solo from 01:42 to close.

3. Frank Zappa – "Hot Plate Heaven at the Green Hotel" (Broadway the Hard Way, 1988)
Dog action? In the form of Obvious Samples played as percussion on what is presumably some sort of early sampling keyboard, presumably by Bobby Martin, live in concert. Pretty silly.

4. Jane's Addiction – "Been Caught Stealing" (Ritual de lo Habitual, 1990)
Dog action? Iconic. They open the tune and attempt to keep the beat over the first few bars, with varying success.

5. Black Sheep – "Similak Child" (A Wolf In Sheep's Clothing, 1991)
Dog action? Wins extra credit for actually interpolating the barking into the beat as a percussion instrument, as two dogs stage an enthusiastic bark-off.

6. De La Soul – "Dog Eat Dog" (Stakes Is High, 1996)
Dog action? Freeform barking underpins chorus and parts of verses, emphasising cannibalistic nature of rap game.

7. The Mighty Underdogs – "Doglude" (droppin' science fiction, 2008)
Dog action? Rhythmical, dense, layered - total dog win basically. Even a series of epic howls to conclude in proper style.

8. Slim Gaillard Trio – "SERENADE TO A POODLE" (1947-1951, 2002)
Dog action? Slim is evidently pissing himself all the way through this tune, possibly at the instigation of questionable dog impersonator Jim Hawthorne, whose overdone barking refrains turn frankly ridiculous by the end of the track. But in kind of a good way.

9. Le Tigre – "What's Yr Take On Cassavetes?" (Le Tigre, 1999)
Dog action? Dogs contribute jubilant barking coda to discussion of art cineaste reputation.

10. Tom Waits – "Buzz Fledderjohn" (Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards, 2006)
Dog action? Providing rough bluesy ambience to a tune that could well have been recorded in a barnyard.

11. Cassetteboy – "Dogs Dogs Dogs Dogs Oh Yeah Dogs" (The Parker Tapes, 2002)
Dog action? Dog sample nirvana. "No cats here, of course..."

12. Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown – "Alligator Eating Dog" (No Looking Back, 1992)
Dog action? Fearsome introductory growling totally misrepresents really rather jolly song.

13. Contrastate – "Poodles In Practice Dress At The Battersea Dogs Opera" (Four Years In 30 Seconds : A Collection Of Music From Around The World, 2007)
Dog action? Fucking weird spoken word/noise action. Dogs saturate its 34 seconds. The second half of the parent album also features it (along with all the other tracks) played backwards. Damn, last.fm, you don't half dish out some fucked-up recommendations sometimes.

14. Cassetteboy – "Yeah Duggan... Austin, TX" (Mick's Tape, 2005)
Dog action? Backing up The World's Whitest Rapper as he pays tribute to the dog in question.

15. Woofers & Tweeters Ensemble – "We Can Work It Out" (Beatle Barkers, 1983)
Dog action? Oh man, this whole record is made of really poor primitive sampling-keyboard arrangements of Beatles songs. "Guys, this is just RIDICULOUS, and totally disrespectful to the music of The Beatles. I mean WOW....jeez." comments one Heather. Well, i agree, but i think that's why it's so good. (Commonly misnamed as "Beatle Barkers"; that's actually the album title).

16. DMX – "Stop Being Greedy" (It's Dark And Hell Is Hot, 1998)
Dog action? Maybe the single most prolific dog-sampler in music, it'd be remiss to skip him. Sometimes his sampler doesn't work so he just does the dog voices himself.

17. Man Parrish – "Hip Hop, Be-Bop (Don't Stop)" (12", 1982)
Dog action? Seminal throw-everything-at-the-wall-see-what-sticks '80s electro groundbreaker finds time for a snatch of pitch-shifted canine in the mid-section. Then promptly on to the next thing. Brill.

18. The Flaming Lips – "The Big Ol' Bug Is the New Baby Now" (Zaireeka, 1997)
Dog action? Gorgeous semi-spoken tribute to Stephen Drozd's dog (and Zaireeka closer) ends in an cacophonous eight-channel avalanche of barking (if you're doing it right).

19. The Orb – "Towers Of Dub" (U.F. Orb, 1992)
Dog action? Takes up all of side three of U.F. Orb. Man's best friend makes an early bid for glory as Kris Weston and Dr Alex dub the piss out of him.

19. Can – "Aumgn" (Tago Mago, 1971)
Dog action? It's a prerequisite of making a groundbreaking, extended sample collage that a barking dog will be required at some point. This set that rule.

20. Wonder Dog – "Ruff Mix" (12", 1982)
Dog action? Wow. This is why everybody hates the '80s.




¹ Inspired by an entirely throwaway line in an early episode of Friends. Janice asks who of the group have nearly slept with one another, and they all attempt to change the subject swiftly. "There's a dog out there!" was Joey's priceless effort. i've only just found the actual script just now, but i misremembered it as "Hey there's a dog over there!" for years, so that's yer title. Yeh, so maybe it was a Seinfeld rip-off, but there was still some great comedy writing on that show at times.

Cerritos Allstars
every tuesday 11:30pm till 3am e.s.t ( GMT-5 )
every Wednesday 1:30pm till 3pm e.s.t ( GMT-5 )
every Wednesday 1am till 3am e.s.t ( GMT-5 )
every Thurday 11pm till 2am e.s.t ( GMT-5 )
every Friday 2pm till 3pm e.s.t ( GMT-5 )

What do they put in the water in Cerritos?
Whatever it is, this former farming community and
current model of American suburbia is THE unlikely
breeding ground for bona fide turntablists.
The current generation of hip hop wizards
surfaced in the early 90s. These visionaries
unplugged their nintendo Entertainment Systems and
traded them in for technics 1200s.
They pleaded with their parents to drive them
to pro sound in Garden Grove to buy the latest mixers,
and snuck into the 18 and over parties thrown by Legend Entertainment,
dreaming of the day they too would
drop dope beats and move the crowd.
By the time the mid to early 90s materialized,
the Cerritos D.J. scene was dominated by three groups:
Audio FX, Grand Groove, Icon Events.
The competition between the three groups was intense,
and claimed more than a few lives.
The future of hip hop looked grim, until
DJ Butta of Grand Groove decided to put an end
to the silliness, and unite the three powerhouses.
The troika put away their differences and united,
behind the Funky President, becoming The Cerritos All Stars.
Today, the All Stars, three in one, and one in three,
use their powers for good, and not evil. They aim to
influence the next generation of turntablists, and
complete the cipher, ever mindful of the turntablists
that came before them. Cerritos All Stars Radio,
the brain child of DJ Kwest of Icon Events,
is the All Stars' voice, their chosen medium to spread peace,
love and hip hop. Long live Cerritos. Long live the All Stars.

I'm a mexican / german / bohemian / virgo / Ex graffiti writer / breaker / new waver
(Actually I'm still a new waver...LOL!) DJ / Events Promoter & Musician.
I don't drink ...do drugs or smoke.. (No real reason... I just feel like I don't need it.)
In Chicago most people know me as a dj & party promoter,
I have been spinning records for over 20 some years &
throwing parties for nearly as long. I have never been very happy
doing things the easy way or even playing what everyone else is playing.
GOD!!! I HATE THE radio!!! Well.. most of the time ...
If you think you know what I'm going to play... your wrong.
I like to keep people guessing... Keep them on their toes...
I like taking chances ... mixing stuff that you wouldn't
normally hear played together. I know it may sound selfish but,
I only play what moves me. I think
I just give my audience more credit than most djs
do. Yeah, some folks want to hear the sing along stuff ...
but some don't. I try to take care of those peeps without losing everyone else.
I'm perfectly fine clearing a dance floor ...
this is how new classics are made. I don't worry because
I know exactly how to get them all rite back out there
(I have 50 Cent records too) I just don't play them
the same way everyone else does. LOL!

Originally from Houston, TX, Tagg
started traveling the world when his mother joined
the air force in 1986. Having listened to hip hop
music off and on, he moved to Tokyo Japan in 1990
where he became immersed in the hip hop culture
that dominated his school and the city around him.
Getting into the music from an outside culture (being overseas),
he began listening to artists from all over the US
and world, rather than defining his taste by
any coast or genre. In the late 90s while
living in Seattle with a roommate who DJ Tagg
found his own love for the turntables.
He quickly began learning to spin records as
well as how to spend all of his money on them.
He began spinning with his roommate at house parties
and the rest is history. After joining the air force
himself in 1999, he moved to Albuquerque,New Mexico in 2000 where he took off.
He began spinning at New Mexicos legendary Vinyl
and Verses in 2003 and was the resident dj by
the end of that year. He also worked with local
promoters such as Slo Motion entertainment as
the opening dj for numerous concerts, events, and
tours that came through New Mexico. He's resided
in Macon,Georgia for the last couple years since
completing an air force scholarship program at
The College of Santa Fe and University of New Mexico.
You can now catch him rockin' the weekly
Thursday party - act like you know, at the red eye
in downtown Macon with Dj Roger Riddle ;
every Tuesday on Smoothbeats.com; or at
various events in ATL, usually with Red Reign Entertainment
and family. In addition to djing, Tagg does
production on his mpc 2000 and has even been known
to rock the mic on occasion

shared the stage with Kanye West , Cassidy, Young Gunz,
Dilated Peoples, Tech N9ne, Jin, MOP, People Under the Stairs, Pharoahe Monch, Main Flow,

DJ Johnny Blaze
every Monday 4pm till 6pm e.s.t ( GMT-5 )
Los Angeles, Ca – With the continuous fall of commercial radio,
many people have ventured into the world of satellite
and online radio. In early 2007 So Prup Enterprises
founder TuSlic started M.E.T.H Radio. After only three episodes,
M.E.T.H Radio had already become popular throughout
the hip-hop scene reaching up to 5000 listeners.
Known for playing all styles of hip hop and
breaking in unknown artist, M.E.T.H radio was
labeled “ the last of a dieing
breed in hip-hop radio.” M.E.T.H radio interviewed
the likes of Spider Loc, The Young Hogs, Spit, 4EN6,
Young Klev (formally of Black Wall Street) &
others. Met by lots of controversy M.E.T.H Radio
was banned from some popular west coast websites
and host TuSlic was barred to real or “overly-opinionated.
After almost a year hiatus M.E.T.H Radio came back
with a new name and format. Now called so prup radio,
TuSlic brought in LaMotte to co-host & DJ Johnny Blaze
to spin in the mix at the end of each show.
so prup radio continues to break in new artist
but maintains a versatile play list that attracts all crowds.
TuSlic & LaMotte discuss many issues ranging from
politics to life issues during the topic
of the week segment of the show.
so prup radio has already bypassed the success
of M.E.T.H Radio and is climbing to new heights each and every week.
With there straightforward approach, TuSlic &
LaMotte have gained a love-hate relationship among
there listeners. so prup radio has garnered interest
from many online publications and radio companies
to syndicate the show to a bigger audience.
so prup radio has also merged with the popular
website hiphoprealm.net and created soprupradio.com.
Soprupradio.com, which is spearheaded by the show,
has already emerged into one of the premiere
hip-hop/urban lifestyle websites online.
hiphoprealm, which has been operating for nearly
a decade has closed its doors to concentrate completely
on building so prup radio and soprupradio.com into a powerhouse.
Also online community weserious.com has teamed up
with so prup radio on a mission to bring various online
urban communities together into one forum. so prup radio
is a strong supporter of unity in all forms and hopes
with weserious.com and hiphoprealm that it can create
a movement that not only can benefit other musicians but also the fans as well!

And More Dj & Info Too Come

Well here's some help!
So i made this top 100 (for the year 2008) based on the opinions of 29 fok! users, who all sent in their personal top 20. So why not sharing it, it was a fuckload of work anyway. To give you an idea how votingprocess look like, the number 1.'s on the top 20's were worth 20 points and their number 20's 1 point. you do the math.

*further notes; nieuw and nuevo mean -> new but i'm to lazy to change them into english words, and it makes the list looks like utter crap*
