I Wanna Go Home - Van Morrison and Lonnie Donegal



The wall of hate and intollerance that I built to keep the Animal Collective out has been toppled. By afformentioned collective.

Peacebone - Animal Collective



"I prefer peace.
Wouldn't have to have one worldly possession.
But essentially I'm an animal,
so just what do I do, with all the aggression?"

Eat Your Younger Heart Out



Heavy heart, heavy Neil.

A funky trip down the road to heartache. One of the best songs, not in any way ruined by house music
From 21 Gun Salute


Andrew Weatherall - Only Love Can Break Your Heart


Masters at Work - Only Love Can Break Your Heart Dubside


These joints better make it into some Serato's or CDJ's. TT, I'm looking in your direction...



Shakey Alone



Heart related

Heart It Races - The Architecture In Helsinki (Trizzy's Rusty Tin Can Remix)



Heart, just Heart

I've loved this song for a long time, CO-OP alerts the world to it's video incarnation that had me eyes closed doing incantations.

Strange Day

SEPT 11: Fiddy vs Kanye vs Terrorists!!!!!





Commercial feuds are very cheap.



1st Contender:

Fiddy.

On "Ayo Technology" and "I Get Money" he sounds a lot less like a man who's soul, unbowed by bullet failure, is trying to escape it's earthly vessel due to lack of MC talent.

People who think Kanye has an ego problem need to watch the last shot of the "I Get Money" video. It's gross though. What you can't see on the video still is that he has one of those airbrushed pictures of himself wearing a crown on the back of his vest.



Yeah, I know...Curtis...

50 CENT - I Get Money (Nick Catchdubs Top Billin Remix)


On a side note, after seeing The Blood Diamond my little sister yelled at me for listening to rap music, citing Fiddy repeatedly for the impending doom that she feels Western culture is embracing. I laughed.



2nd Contender:

Kanye.

I'm still waiting for Kanye to have something worth all the bragging and cockiness. On this album, he gives enough that the hate must stop.

KANYE WEST - GONE

KANYE WEST - CHAMPION

Kanye, you lose me when you sing lines like:

"I don't see why I need a stylist
When I shop so much I could speak Italian"

Those are Gwen rhymes. Kanye should leave Gwen rhymes to Gwen.

You do Kanye:











Kanye is awesome. I'm no longer a skeptical hip hop head who semi-begrudgingly likes loose Kanye joints here and there. I'm a fan of Kanye West, I will not buy the T-Shirt, but I will go to the show.



HEY KANYE!!!

See you at the True North Center, I'll be with Johnny and we'll be the only guys wearing jerseys, with towels around our necks and without holograms on our hats.

Sincerely,

Your fan,

Jason

3rd Contender

Terrorists





My bet is that Kanye will sell more records today than Fiddy and the terorists combined.

I'm No Turkey, I'm A Fly


Diplo made a mix for the poindexters, know-it-alls, genuine music lovers (Rollie Pemberton I see you!) and snobs at Pitchfork (ED: It's actually for the people!!!).

DIPLO - PITCHFORK MIX



THREE 6 MAFIA feat 8 BALL and MJG - STAY FLY (DIPLO REMIX)



Diplo's record label Mad Decent run an incredible blog of raps, club catnip, CanCon and world music, but not the kind that Ian Raymond listens to. The kind that makes you go get passport photos taken.



Please purchase this mixtape that Diplo made, if you want to blow the minds of yourself and others. forever.

For free, enjoy this "minimix" that Diplo did for the BBC.

PS: Mark Ronson's "minimix" is class as well. Mark's a great club Dj, radio Dj and musician. I'm still surprised by how few people know how good this is.

Someday, when Ronson is playing a bond villain named Break Staxman and Daniel Radcliffe is Bond. He's going to say something like: "Don't worry about 007, I've got him...covered."



Ronson's songs are all over some American MTV and TV promo's and commercials right now, and he will apparently be all over the MTV awards. I've never heard them in the supermarket.

However, I hate the supermarket and would gladly take any of Mark's productions over the sound of singing "Lost in the Supermarket" to myself as I compare prices of no name and big three puddings.

I think it's interesting that music made out of pure joy is now considered marketable (and as a marketing tool for):

Lilith Is The Ish



An excerpt from The Simpsons Season Six, Episode Eleven

The next bar Homer tries has two female zodiacal symbols interlocking on the sign above the door.

Homer: Wait a minute...there's something bothering me about this place. [looks around] I know! This lesbian bar doesn't have a fire exit. Enjoy your death trap, ladies. [leaves]

Woman: What was her problem?



The Smalltown Dj's didn't make it to Boston, but Stinkmitt overcame a small crowd and rocked a venue that was voted "Boston's #1 Lesbian Bar 2006."



LOL

The gig started late, but I had many beers with a nice lady who loved it when I whistled at the same girls as her, or grabbed her boobs. Apparently, in a lesbian bar, a guy can gets huge laughs acting like a newly divorced gondolier/construction worker fresh out of prison.



I almost signed up to sing Meatloaf with a transvestite at what they called "Queer-a-oke", the moon shone on the Isle of Lesbos, but the show had run late and I had to go, so I crossed town...



Certified Bananas were great. A highlight of the night for me was when Sammy Bananas got on the mic and said "This is my favourite song of all time" as he dropped this:



For three minutes I was eleven again. That's me on the left, when I was eleven



I missed the Miss Fairchild set, but they are kind to foreigners, smartly dressed, filled with tips, good at banter...and the mixtape is pretty unbelievable.



As far as music goes:

I'm almost converted Flight of the Conchords hater. The songs and manager make the show watchable, more on this TV Dingo as it walks by the cultural billabong...The Kiwi, now with soul...

FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS - BUSINESS TIME (DJ WEEKEND REMIX)



When "Ignition" played on Thursday...I realized that I only know the words to Dave Chappelle's version

PS: All United States please tighten your "free country" game up. Marriage doesn't mean anything, but it should be available to humans that want it.

PSS: It's weird that same sex marriages are illegal everywhere but Massachusetts, but this insanity is totally legal and considered essential to freedom.
