A while back Jason inRGB got the idea of creating moustache stickers to post up on street advertisements or anything else that needed some good moustaching. I agreed that this would be epic.
We come up with probably hundreds of ideas weekly, none of them ever make it past the, “man, it would be totally sick if…” stage.
Well this made it past that stage, the rest of the stages, and it’s definitely a reality now.
Congratulations Jason, for creating an empire of Moustache Me goodness.

things I love: australia, bag raiders, midnight juggernauts, knightlives

I find myself saying this at least once a day. Australia, with the bag raiders, midnight juggernauts, and knightlife make my life that much better.
In Australia, it’s a big gay circle jerk of bands that put out amazing sounds and once they’re done, they all trade tracks and put out amazing remixes. After that they drink edit: talk shit on fosters beer and hang out with kangaroos all day. And when they flush their toilets the water spins the other way.
Here are 3 infinitely amazing remixes these kids did of each other’s tracks:
sooo sick.
This already very healthy MJ track gets their bags raided. You won’t guess where they take this track until you get into the first chorus. ohhhh eeemmmm geeeeeeeee
Midnight Juggernauts - Twenty Thousand Leagues (Bag Raiders Remix)
sooo sick.
Classic Knightlife drums and synth rhythm right here. ON TOP OF A BAG RAIDERS TRACK!!!!FUCK!!!
Bag Raiders - Nil By Mouth (Knightlife Remix)
sooo sick.
Alright fine, this one is a Bag Raiders remix of Chicago’s Kid Sister, but it is UNSTOPPABLE. The signature Bag Raiders synth is in full force at the close of the track. hell yes.

Thank god it’s the end of the week and the beginning of a lonnnngg 3 day weekend. (for those of you in the United States)
I just heard a little snippet preview of your favorite Belgiumians Soulwax‘ remix of LCD Soundsystem’s “Get Innocuous” and it’s SOO DISCO ACE!! I’ll post it as soon as I can get my slimy fingers on that wax goodness.
But right now I’m packing for a short little flight up to Sacramento for a nice weekend alas no worrriiiez, daddy tuftsmania is gonna leave you guys with a little some’some.
Here’s a track…. something that you’ll just have to embrace. It’s part of life.
Supermayer, hailing from Germany, really bleeds a Deutsche sound… I don’t know why but it’s very quirky a’la Stereo Total.
Supermayer - The Art of Letting Go
Kris Menace is my new hero. I had heard his tracks in the past, but he really blew my mind on the Lumberjack track with Alan Braxe (which I was totally psyched over). And now here we have an awesome remix of the Midnight Juggernauts that fluokids recently dropped on my ass. Bring the electro house!! Also check that fluokids link for more disco than your little pacemaker-aided heart can handle (ladyhawke!!)
Midnight Juggernauts - Out of the Storm (Kris Menace Magic Touch)
Lastly, what do we have here? WTF!PARIS. That’s right, another killer track from fucking parisians. I don’t know what it is, but for some reason, french bands that sing in english just get me hooked. Stuck in Sound aren’t quite electro/techno, but follow more closely along the lines of heavy disco/punk. The pulsating bass line and piercing/stabbing high-overdrive guitars hit it so well in this track. BEASTTTLY FRENCH.
boooyaa.
paris.
(ps: remix? is anybody there?)
as we speak

The new Midnight Juggernauts LP, Dystopia is in my stereo and……it sucks shit.
……..well what did you expect me to say? Of course it’s fucking amazing. You’ve heard all of the hype tracks, and indeed, not all the tracks on this album are meant to instantly be club bangers, but fuck club bangers!! As I near the end of the first cd (there’s a bonus cd) the whole album is balanced quite well. It’s not all over the place and it maintains a certain feeling.. ..a Midnight Juggernaut feeling.
The bonus disc includes a lot of the tracks from various other EP’s and single releases, but also some new b-sides as well. I’m digging the new remixes also. The live cut of 45 & Rising is SICK.
I don’t give ratings, so I won’t give this album a rating either (10/10), but it’s good.
You might call me a dick for doing this, but here’s a repost of Road to Recovery, because it’s fucking awesome. In reality, I’m not the dick, I’m your savior. You’re the dick for thinking I’m a dick. Buy it, it’s good.

I have been treating my ears lately. That’s what it comes down to. Since I’m leaving for vegas tonight, this will be a mega post to hold you over for the weekend.
First a little insight on what’s been going in tuftsmania world. Track bikes own my balls. like literally. I’ve been riding 48-16 gearing and that’s close to 80 gear inches. velodrome shit. decided to move it closer to 70 gear inches at 48-18.
anyway, enough about bikes, I pulled my old beaten 240 out of the garage and decided to get it running again. with the help of some of the OG’s, we got it to putt on 3 cylinders. soon it will be using all 4.
now onto the most important things.
got lots of mail this week. some really exciting things for your ears.
ok, first. I’m going to be brief, wait, forget it. They need no fucking introduction!! MIDNIGHT JUGGERNAUTS BITCHESSSSZZZZZ
