Stupefied: The Paul Haig Playlist

 
This week's edition of the Stupefied Playlist© is brought to us by none other than Scottish post punk legend, Paul Haig. Mostly known for his work as vocalist of Josef K on the Postcard label, Paul has released about a dozen albums, as well as a series of excellent singles, over the last 30 years or so. Much of Paul's solo work is currently available via his own label, Rhythm of Life, as well as classic catalog labels, LTM and Disques du Crepescule.


Right now, Paul is getting ready for the release of his 12th solo album, Kube, on October 14. Preceding that on Sept. 16 is the double A-side single, "UW2B / Red Rocks" (for pre-orders, click here for iTunes UK, and here for iTunes US).


As a long time fan of Paul's work, I am truly honored to be able to share his playlist. I hope you know how lucky we are in this day in age to be able to get a peek into what makes our favorite artists tick. A huge thanks to Paul for the list...Now, go and check his music!

Movie of the Week: Umbrellas in The Sun - A Crepuscule / Factory Benelux Collection

Following the posting this week of Donald Johnson (A Certain Ratio)'s Stupefied Playlist, let's stick with the Factory Records vibe for the first MOTW for the weekend.

Here's Umbrellas In The Sun - an incredible collection of bands from the Crepuscule, Benelux & Factory loose family of labels. This collection wouldn't otherwise ever be possible without the hard & obsessive work of labels like LTM, so go buy a copy of this, or any of their DVD comps, now!

Umbrellas in the Sun borrows its title from the 1981 video compilation of the same name released by Belgian label, Les Disques du Crepuscule (TWI 099), and features selected clips from that project, as well as clips from A Factory Video (Fact 65), A Factory Complication (FBN 7) and A Factory Outing (Fact 71) plus previously unseen material. Featuring cover art by Crepuscule design director Benoit Hennebert, the DVD contains 23 rare clips filmed between 1979 and 1987 and runs for over 2 hours.  The definitive genre document!

Tracklist:

01. Antena - The Boy From Ipanema
02. A Certain Ratio - Back to the Start
03. Josef K - Sorry For Laughing
04. Cabaret Voltaire - Sluggin' Fer Jesus
