You can't Rush My Stimulus, Baby!
Yeah, I know SX is less that a week away, but for a moment I'd like to switch gears for a bit and talk about sum bands very quickly.
Of Montreal is one of my top three all time favorite bands, so my witnessing of their second coming (ha!) to Norman is a treat. The second Norman Music Festival promises to be a grand slam.
Come out and support Norman and of Montreal!
On another note - Yelle and Natalie Portman's Shaved head are going to be at SXSW.
Now that's whats up.
On NPSH's blog they post a Daft Punk Drum Kit that's been floating around the web.
Now you can actually BE daft Punk HERE You could prolly spend days doing this. I know I will be.
Czech video HERE. Its amazingly worth it.
Natalie Portman's Shaved Head - Me + Yr Daughter (CD "Glistening Pleasure" is a 4 Star!)
Of Montreal - Gallery Piece (JB remix) (Jon Brion has an entire EP of Of Montreal remixes. Listen HERE for free.)

STORY!!!
So, at Lollapalooza two years ago, I had the opportunity to read about CSS in the official program on the hour long elevated rail ("L") ride from our hotel by the the airport to the site of Lolla, Grant Park in Chicago. IL. As it turns out, I had missed their performance at the festival already. But by chance, they were playing a DJ set at the Debonair Social Club later that night. Mind you, I didn't know exactly who CSS was at that moment, as this was a swell year before their scene-breaking iPod Commercial where they really made a name for themselves. But when I had read "five Brazilian art school girls", I was sold, immediately. I thought to myself, "I have to see this, at all costs."
So , to make a long story short, I go (by myself mind you - my friends went to see some jam band), only to find out they had missed their flight, and the festival all together. Not an entire loss, however, because Colt 45 was hosting the party and I proceeded to enjoy myseld on their tab. I met a photographer which whom I exchanged a great deal of pleasantries with, only to later find out it was the one-and-only ShadowScene. Party photographer extraordinaire.
They did have a DJ however, were I was introduced to the hypnotizing sounds of Green Velvet for the first time. A moment I will never forget. On the way home I proceeded to get lost for seven hours in downtown Chicago, wandering the streets alone. Last time I go out alone in a strange city. Lesson learned.
But, hey, ...five art school girls. FIVE!
Indeed, I really felt close to the ol' rompin' grounds of Chicago house music being in a pretentious indie bar in Wicker Park off the Damen stop of the "L". It was a religious experience of sorts for me. A definite must-stop next time you visit Chicago.
CSS - Let's Make Love And Listen To Death From Above (RAC Remix)
CSS - Music Is My Hot, Hot Sex (Kill The Noise Remix)
Green Velvet ft. Walter Phillips - Shake & Pop (Original Mix)
P.S. I can Tanqueray.

Mikix the Car
Trouble & Bass' (Drop The Lime, Curses!) Mikix The Cat is makin' the rounds.
That reverberating bass sound that makes you wonder if you busted out your ear subs, know? Like Dexplicit-y, Boy 8-Bit-ty.

Mikix The Cat - "Freeze"

So if you haven't heard, apparently there is an organization that goes around like the ACLU of music intellectual property rights and voids blogs of their musikz. Now I'm pretty liberal, or at the least a constitutionalists, but I have been notified that my Zombie Disco Squad Post was taken off due to copyright infringements, and the songs I posted you can find all over the internet, free of charge.
I think these are probably the only people who even know about my blog.
But hey, one more person. Eh?
Here's the skinny: They wont tell you which post (song) specifically infringed. Just to be sure, here are a few Zombie Disco Squad remixes for your ears, and barely legal, too.
My flavourite remixers out there right now, bottom line.
KillaQueens - "Bitches (Zombie Disco Squad Remix)"
Wiley - "Wearing My Rolex (Zombie Disco Squad Remix)"
Bunny Lake - "Into the Future (Zombie Disco Squad Remix)"
Also, Czech out their kickin' A blog here.

We Play You Gay
If you know me at all then you probably know I like Danish lesbians as much as the next guy. But when it comes to Fagget Fairys I'm on a completely different level. Right on the cusp of the Copenhagen underground techno/electro, DJ Sensimilla & MC ENA perform anywhere from the Balkans, courtesy of label ArtRebels, to the heart of Brooklyn promoted by the super blog and newly formed record label Palms Out. This couple/Music-Duo is seriously making waves.
Long story short, MC Ena's vocal are crisp and convincing with all of the confidence you would expect from a Northern European lesbian. I have no idea what the hell she's saying. But it sounds great.
Mockin' Bird vs. Fagget Fairys - "Ja Bi/Fake Drums"
Fagget Fairys - "Uzela"
Fagget Fairys - "Feed The Horse"

Young Guns
"Harrison Schaaf is the commander of an army of exploding synthesizers, conquering the audience through a brilliantly executed sonic pincer movement, with landmine beats to the left and bayonet hooks to the right. All who find themselves within earshot of this production wizard must instantly bow down to the new Emperor of Electro."
Blowin' doors across the world, this young LA native has drawn attention his way with top 40 remixes that are as unique as they are strongly produced. You can tell he will be a force to contend with in the electro scene for years to come.
Fagget Fairys - "Uzela" (Harrison Schaaf Remix)
Leif & Harrison Schaff - "Timbs" (Ian Johnson Remix)
Harrison Schaff - "Dave LaChapelle"
Harrison Schaff - "Zombie Outbreak"
