Nine Inch Nails - Capital G Phones 666 mix
From the forthcoming Halo 25, Year Zero Remixed. Phones is one of the best remixers on the scene today, and this B&C (bananas and coconuts) teardown of Capital G proves it. If they were going to remake Hackers, this would be in the TV spot.
UPDATE: Phones is “an alias of Paul Epworth, producer of […]
Odds n’ sods
I’m sick today; it started yesterday. Sore throat and body aches. Boring. Should be better by tomorrow.
I just bought a 24″ LCD for my MacBook and it was a frustrating experience. I wound up with a cheap ($408 taxes and shipping in) Acer with a potentially low-color TN panel with no component and no HDMI […]
Kenna and Chad
So Kenna has a new album coming out on October 16th…produced by Chad Hugo of the Neptunes, of course. Must get. Andrea gave me New Sacred Cow when it came out and it’s forever one of the records I associate with being new in Los Angeles, along with the French Kicks One Time Bells and […]
Lindy Stevens - Pennygold
I got this song from Amy Kellner over at Teenage Unicorn just now, but I don’t think there’s a lot of reader overlap between our blogs (and I mean if there is, email me and say hi) so I thought I’d throw it up here also. Pennygold seems like something my mom would have sang […]
Junior Boys - Birthday (Manitoba remix)
One of my very favorite remixes. Don’t forget, Manitoba is now Caribou.
Sunday music roundup
Good A-Trak Kanye West Stronger remix over at Discobelle along with his song from Entourage last week feat. T-Pain if you want that. I actually like T-Pain.
Oh Word is NOT MESSING AROUND and put up six full albums to download - O.V. Wright, IAM, Blue Magic (kind of a super mega PHILLY SOUL classic), Screwball, […]
Judas Priest - Another Thing Comin’
I heard a very measured, chilled-out Rob Halford on NPR this week and then I saw Heavy Metal Parking Lot…so anyway:
Judas Priest - Another Thing Comin’ video
Heavy Metal Parking Lot
If you know me you know I love metal and alllllways will.
I like Rick Rubin, but he’s breathtakingly wrong about the future of the music industry
From the lead article in the NYT Magazine this week:
Rubin has a bigger idea. To combat the devastating impact of file sharing, he, like others in the music business (Doug Morris and Jimmy Iovine at Universal, for instance), says that the future of the industry is a subscription model, much like paid cable on […]
Mood music: Carlos d’Allessio, end credits from Delicatessen
A post over at Enthusiasm turned me on to Carlos d’Allessio’s soundtrack for Delicatessen, which was only ever available in France and Japan. (Go there and download the song Duo, as well.) This track is a kind of accordion calypso, maybe? Try it.
Remember, these links are only good for seven days!
Trivia round-up
A workprint of the Halloween remake showed up on the net; there hasn’t been a movie prerelease like this since, what - Signs? Somebody’s getting fired tomorrow. UPDATE: Douglas of SkeetOM has a whole post about this, including the fact that the version in theaters has reshot portions (and a new ending) not in the […]
