The ‘802′ Tour @ Aladdin Theater 8/15/08
FREE ALBUM DOWNLOAD!
If you haven’t already heard 9th Wonder’s work on Jean Grae’s debut Jeanius, or his work on Jay Z’s The Black Album… well then what the hell is wrong with you?
Today, you are out of excuses. 9th wonder has teamed up with Busy-P collaborator Murs to release Murs & 9th Wonder present: Sweet Lord. They currently have it up for download at their website, and it is pretty fucking fresh and very fucking free.
New DJ Countzero Mix
I occasionally DJ under the moniker “DJ Countzero” and occasionally my moniker half makes mixes for general public consumption. It has been a while in coming for this installment with most of my time lately being devoted to throwing a party rather then playing one. Come see me play at FUBAR the night before our party.
Track list after the jump jump.
On Blast: Past Lives
Prior to their set at the always smokey Situations, I spent some time in a tour van talking to Jordan Billie and Devin Welch of Past Lives about everything from the demise of The Blood Brothers (and the difference between projects) to the absurdity of pop music & Lil’ Wayne.
Not so dancey.
These are three gems I ran into in the last day or two, added to my small playlist of music I can enjoy just as music and not as dance floor fillers.
CSS- Move (Cut Copy remix)
Cut Copy is always dependable. Soft, rhythmic anthems and Australian Electro-pop. Which seems necessary to save CSS from fading from memory after “music is my hot sex” left the stage. The end of this song is the most interesting the last two minutes being almost entirely soaring melody, the vocals long forgotten.
Fleet Foxes- Heard them Stirring
And here lies the the next big NW band. Hot on the heals of The Decemberist and their runaway success is this Seattle five piece with long names and deep, beautiful voices. This is my favorite song on the album for the shear power of the opening soar…
The Bug- Flying
This is some of the most mellow and haunting dubstep to emerge yet and it is a nice contrast to the “angry” sound of the newest star.
General Success
I usually avoid posting mash ups or songs that other blogs are all over. And for that matter I have until recently considered myself a Justice hater (reluctant fan, bittered by the shallow hipster fawning). And Britney Spears? I must be lost. But sometimes things just shine so bright.
Imperial Stress- Justice VS John Wiliams
Dior Homme Spring Summer 09 Mix- Justice
I Just Wanna D.A.N.C.E. With You (Neon Coyote Remix)
Me against the music- Britney Spears ft. Madonna (Justice Remix)
Our Favorite!
No one can turn down an easy target, you always end up telling your favorite story over and over and somehow I always end up playing my favorite songs 10, 000 times over before moving on. Ladyhawke is one of my favorites, deeply cemented by my girlfriends absolute obsession with them. And besides who can hate any song that Alex Gopher remixes? (Click that link and you get thirty eight new songs including four Alex Gopher songs.)
Well the newest single just dropped on the web-o-sphere and this is the song you should be buzzing about, a gritty almost garage rock (Yeah Yeah Yeah’s?) disco banger with a throbbing bass line and a “Bang bang bang, on the wall, from dusk till dawn” refrain that takes it to a pop hit instantly, folding into the foliage of Goldfrap and Yelle.
This will be big.
House parties can be a tricky bunch with semi-illegal gatherings of rowdy people usually ending one way or another, very quickly. I like my friends but damn I have seen them do some stupid things at house parties. Blunts, backyards and some DJ getting pelted with 40’s. Good ones are great.Nakedness, sweaty basement masses, hundreds of beautiful track bikes locked to random trees and a general excited, crazed feeling.
I predict this one will be good based on location and bands playing.
If some one (that lives there?) wants me to take this down you better get a hold of me soon.
And for those of you that were about to get out your microscope-

This blog is for fun. It is about talking about everything and nothing. It is not to be taken terribly seriously, though sometimes it will be terribly serious. Sometimes it will be about things we all care about, sometimes it will be very personal. Music is for sampling only--if you like it, support the artist and buy it on vinyl or go dance with us at the show. If you are the owner of a sound file, and would like it removed, email me here.
