Rap Up

Had a decent time @ HARD13. Would say it's a little overrated given the all ages crowd, the copious amounts of trance ravers and the price of drinks at the venue, but you can't complain when you have this man yelling at ravers as a surprise.



Also, we got an e-mail about this website recently, and it has provided me with laughter every time I think about it in my day to day endeavors.

Here are some of the cooler things I've been listening to as of late:

Yuksek - Extraball (Breakbot Remix) (alt)
Mr Oizo - Steroids (Mr Oizo Remix) (alt)
Kris Menace - Enaoumored (w/ Fred Falke) (alt)

To Die For

Is it Christmas time? I guess L.A. Friendly is always up on things, because he did get his hands on the new Mr. Oizo album "Lamb's Anger." For one, and this is always true of Oizo's songs, Steroids is totally messed up, and I really can't put my finger on it. I think I'll play it safe and say, "I just need loud speakers." The king of the snare has produced another bizarre track; really, it's a reassurance we get another anomaly like this. My best analogy would be there is a curious uncle who happens to come upon some drum machines/ production studio and he produces off-kilter yet interesting "I don't know what I'm doing" songs. The crescendo that points to this is when Uffie, totally out of note, says, "steroids." I can never fully say I dislike it, or fully know that I do really like it, because there is something always there that attracts me to both sides -- this could be novel in itself. Uffie is rapping about "I have no idea." The wave is in. There is a clear "Half A Scissor" sample, the same song that was later self-sampled for "HalfanEdit." I can't wait for the rest of this album. As for now, it's Friday folks.

In BIG news, Mr. Oizo is set to release an album November 17 with Ed Banger. "Bruce Willis is Dead" will in fact appear on the LP, contrary to the popular belief that it was a "joke" song. For those that are not familiar with Mr. Oizo, and this may include the million 16 year old kids I saw at the Justice show last night in Street Scene, Quentin Dupieux was key to putting Ed Banger on any map. Uffie toured like a maniac when Oizo produced the undeniably catchy "Ready to Uff," while Justice were still popularly recognized as "DJs." In his earlier productions, it was kinda hit or miss, but since his joining the Ed Banger records, there has been no better style brought to the table. Here's a preview of "positif" a song that blew we talked about here. Support Mr. Oizo; it's a select injunction.

Mr. Oizo - Positif

P.S. Stay tuned for a remix from Oizo's best friend . . . Sebastien Tellier - Roche Kavinsky Remix coming up soon !!!

New Mr. Oizo

There's a lot that can be blogged about right now. I have several songs in mind that I've wanted to post for a while, but when this came up, I thought I can't afford to lose my dungeons-and-dragons like allegiances to artists I feel are really "important," meaning artists that do what they like to do, no reservations. Not only that: the formula works, and it's way under appreciated. As some of you may now know, Mr Oizo recently made it public that he has finished work on his latest album. It's Mr Oizo. Stunt, halfanedit, Patrick 122; do these mean anything to you? Secret gems from a mysterious man. And here's what is in store next . . .

We Do Piknikz

So it's been a while, so I'm gonna try to make it up to you. Plain and simple, I've been (as I'm sure you have) bombarded by really good stuff lately, and I need to share some of my thoughts as well:

1. Jamie Lidell's new album Jim is out now, and it's pretty fantastic. He's gone less electronic and more Motown on us, and it works really well since his voice always had a soul element to it. As is always with the music I like, there are remixes so u can listen to what u like whilst shakin' ur booty. Lidell's single A Little Bit of Feel Good has been remixed by the masochistical melody master from Ed Banger, Mr. Oizo. Peep it:

Jamie Lidell - A Little Bit of Feel Good (Mr. Oizo Remix)

2. Three great albums i'm listening to right now:
- Cut Copy's In Ghost Colours - 5 years people have been waiting for this one if they were avid fans, but if you weren't one then you will be now. Amazing album, light, poppish, full of the cotton candy glaze a summer album should have, and so effortless it makes musicians wanna bonfire their instruments and call it quits:

Cut Copy - Out There On The Ice

-Pnau's self titled is kickin' my ass; I mean, maybe I'm that out of the loop, but these guys came out of nowhere to make kidzbop adult appropriate dance music that is simple and beautiful, on The MFA side of things:

PNAU - Dancing on the Water

-The Presets' Apocalypso is gonna be another Modular juggernaught this summer, but not in the same way as their aforementioned labelmates. They are raw industrial, somewhat cheese but only in the way that it's a compliment.

The Presets - Talk Like That

K this is all for today; I promise to be more industrious in the upcomin' weeks.

P.S. All the contributors from this blog will be together in Davis this weekend, hopefully we see some of our reader base.
