DOWNLOAD: Warren Ellis’ The 4am: 19 – Kick Off The Dirt

Writer, futurizer, and celebrated world champion cuss-machine Warren FUCKING Ellis is doing his 4am podcasts again, which is good news for music and noise lovers everywhere. And it’s flipping brilliant news for me, cos he boots this week’s off proper with Be Brave, from my Street fighter Mixtape. Whodathunk it? I shall quote from the source:

Akira The Don. AKIRA THE FUCKING DON. Was kind of amazed when this turned up, and I’m privileged to have this for the podcast.

Man, the privilege is all mine! Well, OK, we can share it. But seriously, this is a huge honour for me, as a longtime fan of Ellis’ writing, ever since I was a little rotter nicking graphic novels from WH Smiths in Liverpool. And I am very impressed that Ellis actually looks at his email at all, let alone listens to MP3s people send him, let alone knows who the funk I am. I might have to change my name to ATFD now. Sorry, Amanda who?

Rolf. Anyway, the other shit on there bangs hardcore too. Peep tracklist:

Jimmy and the Binliners – “Walk It Out” (0:31)

Akira The Don – “Be Brave” (4:28)

Space Heroes Of The People – “Skylon” (3:53)

Kemper Norton – “Helston Music Fayre 1994″ (6:37)

Vomitus Skink – “Dirty Parks” (0:39)

Amazing. SHORT AND SWEET. I could learn from that, me and my do everything bigger than Rick Ross’ takeout bills. Sheeee-it.

So, yeah. THANK YOU DR ELLIS! That’s fucking ACE!
