In keeping with what is now becoming a tradition, the last on air edition of DO or DIY with People Like Us is being delivered alongside an album aized chunk of a megamix with the bitesize title of Wet Sounds - The Best Of All Things Particularly Avant Retard 2007. Not only that, but it has fantastico artwork and a delectable bonus 15 minutes on top of what we are playing on the last show of the season. AND no mic breaks prattling on while you're trying to relax and realign your soul to this calming and cooling sonic breeze. People Like Us will be taking the next season off, but will resume podcasting in November, after a short break, so stay detuned!

Yet another great season with some of my favorite moments capsuled here. If it was not for PLU I would never have found WFMU.
Don't take that personally Mr. WFMU, I live on the North Fork of Long Island where your signal has not reached since possibly the early nineties when I heard Negativland for the first time and content of that ilk through a weak in and out signal while thinking "I love this............what is it?"
Maybe you were reaching out to me. I don't know for sure it was you sir. Do you remember?

in your time off air I hope you do another 3 hour epic like you did at the start of the season - that was amazing
but big big thanks - one of my favourite podcast
Posted by: Conrad Slater | October 07, 2007 at 04:18 PM
Yes I will do some more 3 hour podcasts, and also will be doing a weekly collaborative podcast with Ergo Phizmiz from 3rd December. Check the WFMU blog nearer the time for that.

Wow! Think this is the first time I ever heard you play breakcore(or where its being called by the kool kats at the moment) anyways brilliant as ever.
Posted by: HiP.P | October 15, 2007 at 03:56 PM
Thankee. I've never really called it breakcore but then I never originally called sampling mashups - I've frequently played very noisy things with very distorted messy beats - check my archives, you can search all the people I've played at the bottom of the page. Whether those people are breakcore I don't know, but then again all these definitions tend to change over time on what they are anyway, and that's sort of why I like to play these things, because they are transcending across many genres over time.
So in a word, yes.

RIP John Peel. Wasn't for him, I'd have never discovered Vicki's work.
