Not quite Tenacious D

Given a recent trend in debauchery, I present an mp3 which epitomizes trash:

Gravy Train!!!! - Sippin 40z

And for some reading material for that background noise, please go here*.


* I suppose one should only go there if that song doesn't motivate one to get smashed and fuck copious amounts of hookers/strangers.

SUCK IT

I saw God at Fabric. He was wearing a football jersey that just said SUCK IT and was throwing the most merciless SUCK IT thunderbolts all up on the dancefloor.

Booka Shade live was a close second.

Too long without updates. What I've been up to:

Slept off my horrid Sonar hangover on the beach, then to Nice, where I rolled up on a dirty French house party in some villa, and now in London. Booka Shade and M.A.N.D.Y. are playing at Fabric tonight, so perhaps I will attend.

I've been listening to Todd Terje a lot, but last night on the bus this song came on randomly and it killed me:

E.S.G. - Hold Me Right

It reminds me a lot of Barbara Morgenstern (like Fjorden, all that stuff). In general it has a very Berlin sound, but somhow it's 20 years older (technically released in 2000, but I think it was produced way earlier).

I'll be home in a couple of weeks, expect mixes.

Sonar = <3<3<3

Night 1:
  • Get really drunk
  • Meet Swiss guy who gives you drugs
  • Reminisc about IDM days during Sora set
  • Get blown 5 metres back when Laurent Garnier kicks in the bass on the hugest system ever
  • Tiga slays 5000 spectators with some mix of LCD Soundsystem - Tribulations (not Tiga´s Trance Closet mix, I don´t think). Sounded absolutely enormous. Other highlights: The Knife - We Share Our Mother´s Health (I think Trentmoller mix, if it´s the song that I´m thinking of). Also Tiga - Good As Gold/Flexible Skulls was nice to hear.
Nigh 2 was even more stacked: Hot Chip, Goldfrapp, Isolee, Diggable Planets, and finally Diplo vs. A-Track, by which point I was horribly tapped-out. But yeah, it was outrageous. All the Hollertronix shit got played. Someone was talking to me at one point and I just like ceased to function because I *sensed* that Bone Crusher - Never Scared would come on next, which it did, and I kind of lost it at that point. I sat through most of the Miss Kittin set, but was too fucked for Modeselektor, so I dipped. I only caught the Isolee set briefly, which is a shame, because it was getting good.

Here´s something I discovered in Sofia that aught blow your mind:

Loshite ft. Misho Shamara

Truly the the Balkan´s finest.

PFC ASS BITCH

Too bad my backpack got sent to London.

Tiefschwarz - Ghostrack (Blackstrobe mix)

Going to Sonar in Barca tomorrow for Tiga, Hollertronix and... Laurent Garnier. And I guess Goldfrapp.

Fubu

I have like this many CDRs here and no display on my CD player, so I have no idea what I'm listening to. I love this one track that I was going to post, but it looks like I got it off Skulljuice, it's Robert Babicz - Markatech. Here's another one I probably lifted off Hockey (but who knows, in my last minute downloading frenzy):

Blackstrobe - Italian Fireflies vs. Axel Foley Theme

Now I gotta go buy some fake Fubu and smoke some hashish on the street.

On Vacation

sup, I'm in Amsterdam/everywhere for a few weeks/will only update sparsely. Apparently I'll be in Barcelona for Sonar - should be sick/not like DEMF (save for the incredible trashy ravers and dirty X, I enjoyed both). I'll put up some songs when I'm not paying five euro for this shit. Stay up.
