LOTS of bad club music this weekend. Every night in Akron ends the exact same way - at the gay bar. Which is fun and all but everyone just turns a blind eye to the fact that they really are playing horrible music. Just the pits.
BLOOD ORANGE | SUTPHIN BOULEVARD (BICEP REMIX) by BICEP
I think I'm suppose to know who this Blood Orange group is but I'm just drawing a blank right now. I do know that this remix is pretty banging though. Oddly enough, after some failed searches on Google I determined that Biceps are the same people over at Feel My Bicep. Small world.
Seriously though, I'm digging the nice mellow drive we got going on here right now. It might be because it's raining, I've had a couple glasses of wine and it's Sunday night but it just feels like this is the right thing to be into right now.
I ended up listening to a ton of weird African music this weekend coming from not so good speakers. Even better, for the first half of the time the bass was turned almost all the way down. It sounded like it was recorded in a land without bass. It could have been recorded in a trashcan. In reality though it was pretty amazing. Or as my brother put it, you don't have to ever worry about originality when it comes to crazy African music. It is sort of inherent to the concept.
Yep. That is exactly what it seems. A Celine Dion remix. I don't know what to say. I really don't. I mean I can tell you I never listen to Celine Dion and that is a technically true statement but there is something about this one. I don't know what happened, I clicked on this and nine minutes later I was still listening to it. A little too brash techno-y for me at some points, but you gotta take the bad with the amazing.
Enjoy it while it lasts people, don't expect many more Celine Dion remixes around these parts.

Thuggin'
Ummm Freddie Gibb's & Madlib. Fuck. And. Yes.
Freddie Gibbs & Madlib - Thuggin' by Rappcats
"Pants gonna be sagging till I'm 40."
Pure genius. I'm so happy this is happening. EP out now, album rumored to be on its way. This is why people need to learn how to keep secrets. This is the kind of shit that makes a rainy, crappy Tuesday all that much better.
I'm sure Madlib could sample that fucking Chipmunks record from when we were kids and make it sound sick. He just has a groove sense amount him that he has this ability to break anything done into it's essence which is some sort of groove. And it makes me so happy.
How many blunts were smoked during the making of this album? Over/under is 1 million and I'll take the over.
Storm Queen!
I've had two Thanksgiving dinners already and it only Monday of Thanksgiving week.
This one is getting posted because I was listening to a Beats In Space with Morgan Geist who is one-half of Metro Area. I also kind of like it because the video is just of the record spinning but you can barely even see it. In fact, you can't see much of anything in this video but two or three times today I have just caught myself staring at it. I don't know what is wrong with me.
It was steel gray out today. Or, as I like to put it, the sky was really low today. It's sort of like you can almost just reach out and pull yourself down some cloud. I imagine thought that it would be pretty gross and probably full of like rats or something.
In the interview Morgan Geist mentioned how he is really comfortable putting songs in the middle of long disco tracks, which is not this at all, but I think that was a pretty interesting way to think about a lot of the stuff out there. Especially on the disco end, they are like really long mixes that also have smaller songs wrapped up in them as well.
Also, his current project is called Storm Queen which is the best fucking name and this track from it is the shit.
Disco shit.

Here's your trance now dance
It's been Omar S all week. I swear, I can't stop.
Listen to this, I don't know how anyone can stop. I don't know why we aren't all sitting around listening to this shit at 120 decibels right now.
Shit.......sorry for the infrequent posting. F school and F school. More frequent posting to come in the near future.
If you are really feeling lonely then come check out my review of Omar S's most recent EP High School Graffiti over at Keep On Repeat.
Oh, yea, and F the cold.
