Music to watch robots cry, errr, sorry, fight

Yeah, it was geek heaven Madrid, they even had robots running around the hallways! not security dogs as Stuart was wondering, but little white plastic dogs (the size of half a big cat more or less) that will compete in this rather remarkable event (apparently the rest of the members of the Telematics team in the University resent the guys in the robotics department because they tend to be more successful with girls, not a surprise eh? We are talking robotic dogs here, gee, robotic dogs, man!).

Anyway, I will be short and swift as I’m away (it might sound like a shitty excuse but you should see my cats’ claws, the little beasts deserve-and demand- attention), I was going to to post an amazing cover version that those Xiu Xiu chaps made of Ceremony by Joy Division but found the people at Listen Closer had already done it, so there goes all my nice text about dancing with slashed wrists etc (props and compliments to Listen Closer by the way). I have therefore decided to replace the robot crying theme with a robots beating the shit of each other one, and the song by public enemy riot gabber what-have-you-rephlex-kid (they’re all crazy I tell thee) DJ Scud below is quite suitable. Not much to say about it, just FEEL…THE…VIOLENCE

DJ Scud- Skinhead (I Said Pogo)

(There is a question we must ask ourselves, and it’s an important one, should robots referee football matches between robots? should robot players be wired to cheat and kick or punch or crush each other in funny pitch battles soundtracked by this Scud mentalist? I might pay to see that…)

(This song was recommended to by my bruda O.G. Rafael, keeping it real and the rest of it. Cheers!)
