Her album just dropped 4/29. Buy it -- its one really worth having.
Santogold - You'll Find A Way (Original)
Last week me and Dan were djing at Chocolate Sundays. It had been relatively slow all night, I was kinda 'out-of-it', and so naturally around 3:55am (closes ~4am) we're in the realm of "I don't give a fuck" jams [Assault's "Sex On The Beach", that "Finger In Your Booty Hole" track, etc].
A girl comes up asking for us to speed it up so that "everybody" [read: two people = her & her man] can start dancing.
This song was played next.
Back when I was hosting The Underground on WVUM, if there was one label I was constantly checking for, it was Tru Thoughts. I have no idea how I got put up on them; but "Thank You!" to whomever was responsible.
I was so hooked on their sound that when I found out that Will Holland, aka Quantic, was going to be heading to the States for a gig in Philly and another in NYC, I hit up both Paul Jonas and Tom Simpson (awesome guy) to try and sort out a gig in Miami.
At the time a 'budget' to me was $200-$250, [imagine a 'broke-college-kid', then imagine a 'broke-college-kid-dj'; we're the 'brokest' kind], and after they tried negotiating, they realized I really didn't have anymore money. So, because Will really wanted to play Miami, my $250 stretched out far enough to bring him down on the only night the venue (I/O Lounge, now The Vagabond) had open that particular week, a Monday.
Living with girls is pretty much awesome. They're clean, they keep the fridge stocked with all sorts of healthy name brand goodness, and they like their OnDemand super-extendo satellite cable.
Out of the hundreds of channels I get to pick from, I've recently started to get down w/ Current TV. Varied programming, fairly intelligent, and all wrapped-up in a sleek package.
Regardless, here's a bit they did w/ Portishead performing/practicing.
. . . cuz then, when you're just sitting at home listening to all of your records - you could also be garnering views and praise from thousands of dudes who haven't yet found out about Dusty Fingers comps, UBB comps, or .
Funkish cover of Rage Against The Machine's "Killing In The Name Of" by these guys.
Two tracks from the Ed Banger Volume 3 thang:
Feadz ft Spank Rock - Back It Up
Busy P ft Murs - To Protect & Entertain
Note:~1:39 Murs name-checks DJ AM & Aoki!?!
Even though Seagal first burst on the scene w/ Above the Law in 1988, it wasn't until two feature films later, with Hard to Kill, did he achieve his dream of having a firm grasp around Hollywood's scrotum. Dragging 'em to-and-fro, he was able to release such bonafied classics as Out For Justice, Marked For Death and the peculiarly titled Fire Down Below, without skipping a skull-crack.

p.s. Hey Hype Machine, can we get on now?!
I'm back in Miami, and we've got a party celebrating that fact (seriously?!) goin down this Thursday!
Last time I was in Canada was w/ M.I.A. -- but we really didn't get much of a chance to 'experience' the cities we played in. It was pretty much: Sleep in bus, wake up at venue > Sound-check > Eat quickly > Perform > Sleep in bus > Repeat.
So last night we were scheduled to play an end-of-the-ski-season/all-drinks-must-go party at this hotel/bar spot in Fernie.
It ain't Casual Sax, but here's my new catch phrase I came up with during conference after listening to a whole bunch of blog house.

I (*read: Huggs) will buy you a drink if you say you saw this blog.
