Tamara Sky's On There Too

Peeped a link on the Turntable Lab blog in regards to Ayres; two pages later, found our own Doormouse on the site.  

James Brown - Give Some Skin (J&M Edit)

Up N Strolling.

Been through 3 computers in the last 4 days; trying to get situated before the Santogold tour.  Now my crates aren't showing up, and apparently the latest Serato update isn't 'approved' for Mac OS 10.5.3, etc, etc.

Also, felt like the blog needed a breather to soak up all that is/was Dan's agggggrrroo-post.  Bad day chum?!

Well, let's move things forward.


Looks like Lily Allen's on the same diet I am.

And in other news . . .

In the near future (*edit: Thursday night) my boy EggFooYoung, now 'known' as Michna (sellout!)(Ghostly | Turntable Lab) is coming into town for a weekend of gigs.  

It's crazy to me that I've known this guy for about 10 years!  I still remember one of his first mixtapes -- he did this little beat-juggling session w/ Common's "Funky For You" using that "I can break it down..." section, then switchin up the speeds as he juggled it.  He did the routine at one of my backyard Ill Sessions parties my 1st year living off-campus; I'm pretty sure that was the same party that ended w/ 7 MPD squad cars and a helicopter!  

Anyways, I stole this track off his laptop ~2 years ago.  I know he never checks our blog, so I figured I'd post it up; don't rat us out.  That and apparently you have to post up a Diplo-related track to get on Hype Machine. (WTF?!  Anybody got the connect?  Darko?!  Roxy?!  Bueller?!?)  

Diplo - Way More (EggFooYoung Remix)

And this song outshined the rest of Like Water For Chocolate for me.  I'm pretty sure the late Jay-Dee produced it.

Common - Funky For You

With A Quickness

So when a TV bobblehead known as Don Imus made his "...nappy-headed hoes" comment a couple days/months/years(?) back Doormouse was quick to react and grabbed the sample and plugged it into this *cough* 'bmore-ish' song.

It was obviously more of a joke than anything, and after playing it a for a couple weeks at Purdy Lounge, the moment had passed . . . I thought.

Right around that very moment, I get hit up on AIM from . . . um, John Doe, who is raving/laughing about a new song Tittsworth did.  And Voila, it was a Don-Imus-Bmore-Ooof-'song'.  Now, little did the blog-world know, Doormouse's song pretty much ruled vs. Jesse's, and it was 'out' at least two weeks earlier.  Yet, Titts' song went on to further propel Jesse up in the blogosphere, garnering more than a thousand downloads; whereas Dan's pretty much just annoyed those at Purdy Lounge.   

What's the point of this story?  

Well, it seems that nowadays, we're collectively on the pursuit of the NuNEW -- to the point of NOW.  

*Note: I highly recommend reading Ritalin Nation, a book that goes into this pursuit of faster/better/stronger and culturally-created illnesses like A.D.D.   I know that we are living in a semi-illiterate age.  So for those who have forgotten, books are basically like blogs, except tactile, usually not with as many photos, and just a bit longer.  

** Also, one of my friends is a 10th & 11th grade teacher here in Miami --- we were speaking yesterday, and apparently its common for students to spell words like garbage - garbitch/garbidge.  Hey its not the easiest word, but COME ON!!!  You're ~16-17.  Your life is headed in one-direction, you should probably learn how to spell it. 

So anyways, this clip of Bill O'Reilly freaking out was played on The Colbert Report yesterday.  I had seen it a while ago -- but i'm sure millions of Americans have not.  

Going further with this NuNew, now that I have a blog, I can let the 'sphere' know that my man Danny Daze, a member of the DiscoTech production trio cooked up these two variations of a track using O'Reilly as the sample fodder.  So when you hear another song come out in a week or so using the same sample . . . 

DiscoTech - Do It Live (Version 1)

DiscoTech - Do It Live (Version 2)

Take A Good Whiff!

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.

"You guys are the worst."

She left.
