this was lifted from the iran graffiti and urban art report. just thought it was hot, and would make an interesting header for the post.so my internet was broken all weekend, forcing me to a coffeeshop. its now fixed, but im utterly exhausted. today was my first day off crutches and was spent at the hardware store busting ass. the point is that i have limited fare for today.
im dropping three tracks tonight. the first is hot off the presses from the hood internet, who unveiled their mixtape volume one today! lots of fun ideas bouncing around in their heads, which are artfully played out in the tape. my fave was a mashup of KHIA's 'snatch the cat back,' a ridiculously dirty song that couldnt possibly suck any harder than it already does [making it ideal for a mashup], with DAN DEACON's 'the crystal cat,' a thick and rad one with vocals actually approaching feline levels. i mainly like the mashup for the inclusion of 'the crystal cat' thickness. you should decide for yourself what the best track is, by heading over to the hood internet and checking out the mixtape. also worked in are BROKEN SOCIAL SCENE, LCD SOUNDSYSTEM, BATTLES, M83, MODEST MOUSE, CYNDI LAUPER, HOT CHIP, CRYSTAL CASTLES, JUSTICE, FEIST, CSS, !!!, THE SHINS, THE KNIFE, ARCHITECTURE IN HELSINKI, etc. but enough wankering, and on with the track:
THE HOOD INTERNET:
next up: my current goddess, FEIST. i am in love with this fair canadian belle. please marry me? anyway, there is a BOYS NOIZE remix of 'my man my moon' floating around and making the rounds. i can dig it, most definitely, and you know im not just giving love to the feistmeister, because i called shenanigans on the chromeo remix of 'sea lion woman.' its slow in the becoming, but it works once it hits the sweet spot, that spot being the voice of leslie [0:57 mark]. dont worry if a minute seems appallingly long to wait for gold, because the track clocks in at 6:41, so theres plenty on which to groove. [and yes i just edited that sentence to avoid a preposition at the end, with a certain friend friend in mind. if the rest of the post is sinfully ungrammatical, forgive me, im tired.] one thing i do miss about the track is the prominence given to that driving low-end piano from the original, which comes in here and there on the remix, replaced by synths and co. the overall effect is good, and i think it works. works for me, hope it works for you:
FEIST:
the last track is a remix between friends. jona bechtolt [YACHT] tried his hand at khaela maricich's [THE BLOW] 'hock it,' producing a sexy hypnotic sexy piece of dancing baby. the two one man bands prove the old saying, two heads are better than one. ok corny, i admit. going to bed so whatever.
THE BLOW:
where to find this and more?
on ruckus, for those who can taste its drm-laced .wma fruits. YACHT, THE BLOW, FEIST, & DAN DEACON can all be found on ruckus.
im going to assume no one that reads this cares whether KHIA lives or dies. nuf said
THE BLOW official site
YACHT official site
FEIST official site
DAN DEACON official site
and yes all these folks have myspace as well. myspace is the only place youll find BOYS NOIZE, so hit 'em up there.
au revoir
