Marvin Gaye - Got to Give it Up (Josh Wink Edit)



Gone dancing....


The look in their eyes. The look that causes well laid plans to be aborted. You know the one. The one of unflinching disgust in your actions. The recognition of failure in all you do. "You try and you still fail", that's what their thinking.

That's a good one isn't it. Just gets you right in the guts. 

Next time your fuck up in front of your beau and they give you that look you can rest easily knowing that this song exists in the world. You may be 100 percent inept and you make nothing but horrible decisions but you still have two ears that work so you can just listen to this.

Inoj - Love You Down (Fire for Effect Remix)


This shark is considerably better than Ben's shark.

In nearly every conceivable way.

Coming to you live from a hotel room in Bloomington, IN.  Spent the last 14 hours basically locked in a room with other first year MBA students working on a case study.  Closest I've come to going truely mad in a while.  Wait, except for when I saw THE-DREAM at the Ohio State Fair at 7 pm with crazy JPP.  So I guess not that long ago.  But I digress.  Either way I have spent a lot of time with Tomorrow's Business Leaders over the last four days and have another two to go.  This could get ugly.

But I am now back to the room self medicating with this song from Inoj remixed by some cat called Fire for Effect.  This was the first song on the Pictureplane Modular People podcast from late last year.  You might remember this song from the 80s when it was performed by Ready for the World or again in the 90s when Inoj did it.  The intro lines are pretty famous, used in a lot of rap hooks.

And there's a free download link on the soundcloud.  Have at it suckas.


Dead Rose Music Company - Your Kisses




I read the other day that Jaws was ranked as one of the best Libertarian films of all time. You know, free markets, individual liberty, the government not getting in the way of your right to hunt a man eating shark, blah blah blah.



Hmmmm, yes. A new Dead Rose Music Company single. I'm digging it. It's got the right amount of disco-ish flair but sort of at a rate that may pass as not actually disco. It's disco trying not to be disco. Or seeing how far we can pull disco down into this soupy abyss that is inhabited by man eating sharks and still call it disco.

It's not going to burn the house down but it's going to keep you warm at night.

Al Green - Here I am (Lac's 9 mins of love edit)



The Girl Who Flirts With Death



Ohhhh man. Pheeeewwwwwwww. Do you feel that? Just that enormous weight on your shoulders? That creeping sense of dread? Like you're face down on the ground and the largest person you have ever seen is sitting on you. You don't feel that? Huh, I guess its just me.

I'm not even particularly enamored with this track. Don't get me wrong, I like it well enough. The thing is I have been listening to High On Fire's newest album for four days straight which may explain somethings. So, I kind of stretched with this one.

Also, High On Fire - amazing band. Does it really fit with anything that is going on here - not one bit.

On another note: I have to stop watching the Olympics because I'm now dreaming about them. This is a problem.

Fletchers Curve (Matthew Styles Remix)








Sorry, I don't have a good excuse for why we haven't posted in a couple of days. Malaise? A bad case of the dropsies, maybe? Who knows really.

Stumbled across this track early this morning. Nothing like some analog drums and throwback synths to get your Sunday started off right. Wah wah wahhhhhhh.

I heard Matthew Styles carries an eight inch buck knife everywhere he goes. Really. Loose talk on the streets has it he's been known to stalk his pray through the dirty, trash strewn alleys of Detroit and sneak up behind them while they least expect it. He will then extract his knife from behind his belt and draw the dull side of the blade across the throat of his enemy. He says he does it so he can feel again.

I don't know dudes, he sounds a little crazy to me.
