immediate impact

Just got this by way of email and I must say, I like attached mp3s rather than linked mp3s in my emails.
Apple mail puts a handy little play button in the mail window and I can listen directly there. This just makes my workflow that much quicker and a hell of a lot simpler.
I’d only heard of Intergalactic Bastard in passing, so getting a sample of his work in my mailbox was a nice surprise.
I’ve been loving this glitchy/stop/start sound lately –it’s kind of a sound The Videoband (no parisienne rmx, no exclamation) uses very well.
have a listen, then peep the myspace for other solid listening material. (very solid)
Intergalactic Bastard - Hell Yeah!
oh, just tramping about

I have a separate email for the myspace account, it’s ‘discojockeys [at] tuftsmania [dot] com’ and I thought I might just check it for fun. (prior to this, I didn’t even think of forwarding it to my main address, chris@tuftsmania.com) –speaking of social networking.. I’ve been stepping my game up! If you haven’t added me on facebook, twitter, myspace….. you’re missing out on some sweet memes.
Anyway, I found some awesome gems in there. Another mass CC message which I promptly replied to. This time it was a ‘what are you eating right now’ meme. The music blogging community has some definitely stellar taste in food. Especially MAD DECENT (not sure which blogger), rocking it downtown chinatown style with the vietnamese classic, “Banh Mi“. Word up to mad decent.
The original promo email that had us all on the same list was of an artist I’d never heard of. ChicandtheTramp rocks it daily over in Switzerland and I’m impressed. The heavy banger………STILL BURNS IN MY HEART…. or maybe it’s the Pink’s Chili Dogs.
The Police - Roxanne (ChicandtheTramp Remix)
ChicandtheTramp - Essuiglass
ChicandtheTramp - Delorean
Also I recently got my hands on the recent bootleg production of The Beach Boys - Locals Only. It was put together by the Black Lights and features remixes from Johnatron, bulimiatron, black lights, thavius (what’s up fellow CCer), ricky dollars, futuristic prince, and subtitle (what’s his myspace?).
Going through this album, most of the remixes are somewhat more abstract with core beats other than the standard 4/4… and that is awesome, but this is what immediately caught my attention. Definite crowd pleaser… so accessible.
The Beach Boys - Surfer Girl (johnatron remix)
If you’re interested, download it for FREE at the Black Lights Blog, leave a comment and show them some love for their hard work.
This is a similar project to what Buffet Libre is doing with their ’80’s rewind project’ and I would love to see more of this kind of stuff in the future.
Lemme know what you think. If any links are dead… lemme know. The heat in LA is warping my mind.

It’s late and I, just as the rest of the blog kingdom musicarius and genus Bloggerazoa, are all just listening to the latest sample track to come out of the Modular spam mailing list.
I am still on the fence about the Van She Tech remix of Ladyhawke’s BOTV (Fred Falke’s version still kills it).
But this next track can do no wrong. Taking ‘big gay circle jerk‘ to the next NEXT level, Van She Tech remixes Van She.
So that’s like, not even circle jerking, that’s like if a person were to be born with male and female sexual reproductive systems –self inseminating his/her own sperm and fertilizing his/her own egg.
NEXT LEVEL SHIT!!!!!!!!!!! BIG SELF-SEX HERMAPHRODITE SELF-JERK PRODUCING FETUS!
alright i’m over it. it’s late. i’m waking everyone up. this is really loud right now.
you.
make loud.
me.
make sleep.
the chorus makes me want to self-sex.
oh. AND PROPS TO VAN SHE TECH FOR USING A NEW SYNTH! FUCK YEAAAAAAAA (not that i was getting tired of the old one they used for 2 years straight or anything)
Van She - Strangers (VST SELF-SEXING RMX)
oh and here’s the ladyhawke remix, listen to it and tell me I’m out of my mind/an idiot/fucking idiot/ghey
Ladyhawke - BOTV (Van She Tech TURBO rmx)

double trouble tonight.
remember Neon Coyote? Yeah, they’re kind of a big deal. Ever since their explosion onto the scene, they’ve had a steady uprising in popularity. If you looked at a chart of their success, it would look like the exact opposite of what a 12 month-current chart of the United States economy looks like.
So anyways, they’ve been like touring the world and shit. And playing huge 1000 people raves and shit. And pouring Cristal all over hipster bitches chests. They also have been enjoying a nice and relaxing time on their 42 million dollar yacht, reaping the benefits of being TTYC members.
Obviously tickets to their shows sell out within minutes and if you’re reading this, you’re either being unsociable at their party on your blackberry or you’re at home, being unsociable on your computer.
If you’re the latter, I have an underground bootleg recording of one of their shows. I can’t divulge much of the detail that went into procuring this mastermix, but it involved hacking, time travel, and 2 fatalities.

LA GREVE GENERALE!!!!!!!!!!
in the midst of their busy schedules, John from LAGREVE was able to throw this live set at me… and their style is getting excellently STEEZY. It cannot be contained. The intro sets you up for something fierce, and the rest of the set definitely lives up to it.
