Jamie Oliver gives his ‘thumbs-up’ to Teeth of the Sea

Well, I doubt he knows much about it really, but his production company have selected two tracks off the TOTS album ‘Orphaned by the Ocean’ to soundtrack some scenes in his new ‘Jamie’s American Road trip’ series. The episode the tracks are featured on is the one based in Wyoming, which will get its first airing on September 8th...

Lets hope it is soundtracking the making of a Rocket Salad...(sorry!!)

Rocket Probes August 2009 Playlist

Gnod/White Hills - Drop Out (track title only)
(Unreleased track omitted from the CDR of the same name - plumming driving kraut jaunt, soon to be released on Rocket)

Gnod - The Somnambulist's Tale
(50min hypnotic percussive groove)

FI– Paradise Out Here
(Some really good wigged out Heads/Hawkwind’esque tracks on here, especially Om21, 20 mins of heavy fuzz repetitive bliss)

Chris Zebby – My Ancestors
(Amazing fuzz induced primitive Afro punk)

Lard Free – I’m Around about Midnight
(Really good Kraut/Heldon sounding psych rock)

Warhammer 48K – An Ethereal Oracle
(Took a few listens to appreciate how good this is, repetitive psych meets doom and 80’s US hardcore from members/friends of Cave)

Coil – Black Antlers
(Head spinning psychedelic electronica)

Moon Duo – Love on the Sea
(More great Velvet Underground repetitive psych from these Shjips)

Indian Jewelry - Invasive Exotics
(Fractured electronica, krautrock repetition, Butthole Surfers unruly psych-punk workouts)

Warm Digits - Myspace tracks
(They say: like Can wrestling Zombie Nation in a lift with the Chemical Brothers 'Setting Sun' necking pills in the background and Lightning Bolt refereeing the melee - make your own mind up)

Fela Kuti - Expensive Shit / He Miss Road
(Tony Allen!!!)
