    Happy Leaps!!

     
    Its the 29th of Feb. Its the only one you'll see this decade! Enjoy it to the max Party.
     
    Hopefully these lot will help you get there Wink.
     
    (Note: I'm in a pretty good mood, so if somethings rated "NINE THUMBS UP!!", SorryTongue out + some of these maybe around a year old.)

     
    l_1626deddacdebcca536a4efc33e154ad.gif
     
    The new Headman single is out. Its pretty cool - primed for mixing!. Very different from 'Running Into Time'. Check out originals of both & a couple of mix jobs on the former
     

    Running Into Time (AutoKratz Remix)

    Running Into Time (LeLe Remix)

    New


    Check out the boys from Atlanta The Constellations <-myspace.

    Their first singles called "step right up" and gives you a step-by-step tour of the hipster scene.

    I have no explaination for this absudity, but it reminds me of "Funky Town"!!!!!! Confused.

    The Constellations - Step Right Up

     

    The second of the lot is just as vocal. This time reminding me of Gorillaz ('fire from a monkeys head' in particular).

    See it?

    The Constellations - Setback

     

    Third up & the first track of their up coming album goes by 'setback'

    The Constellations - Setback

     

    I just dont feel it, but there is potential in the tracks (not on the dance floor maybe) with easy going, enjoyable sounds. Check out the myspace link above for another track and more info on the forthcoming album.


    So I'm guessing you already know about Sinden. 

     

    He of the 'Beeper' fame. (his Lady Soverign mixes were wicked too imo). 

    I heard Beeper sometime last year & it quickly became one of the tracks friends annoyed me with.

    Unexplicably, months later & I still enjoyed it.

    The Count and Sinden - Beeper (Original)

    The Count and Sinden - Beeper (Fake Blood Remix)

    Hit up his myspace for more goodies including the video.


    The latest Tittsworth production              Tittsworth - Britzkrieg Bop


    Did you listen to the mix Diplo(<-myspace) did for Fabric? Even better than his Essential Mix.

    Diplo - Must Be A Devil

    Really cool track, but turn the volume up past the leagle limits for max effect. Decent Bass also helps Nerd.


    If you've heard Para One's (<-myspace) Epiphanie, you'll already be familiar with the Frenchman's style. If you have not, go get the album. Its pretty cool. (If you liked Justice/Rapture/ or Electro, you'll enjoy it).

     

    Here's his latest remix For Boys Noize

           

      

    Boys Noize - My Head (Para One Remix)


    Justin Martin (<-myspace) (he of 'Nightowl' fame) with his latest track "Fugitive".

     

    The single cover

    On youtube:

           

    & the mp3 Justin Martin - The Fugitive. For more of his work (& FREE mp3's)  also check out his |RCRD LBL| page.

    BONUS:

    Justin Martin - Thug Love


    At this point do I even need to say how much I love Trentemoller work??

    His latest? Awesome as always!

    Tomboy - Flamingo (Trentmoller Remix)


    We are all terrorists!! Black Sheep

     

    Western Spaghetti - We Are Terrorists  

    Lets celebrate! Tongue out.

    Simian Mobile Disco - Hustler (A-Trak Remix)

    Simian on myspace.

    BONUS:

    Muse - Knights of Cydonia (Simian Mobile Disco Remix)

    The Presets - Are You The One (Simian Mobile Disco Remix)

     


    Klaxons (myspace)  had one of the best album & EP's of last year. 3 mix jobs below, none of them are on the     Van She level, but still pretty kool.

    Klaxons - Atlantis to Interzone (Destroy Disco Remix) <-techie

    Klaxons - Gravity's Rainbow (Kavinsky Remix) <-Gospilish!. Quite Cool!

    Klaxons - Gravity's Rainbow (Guns'N'Bombs Freakout Remix) <-over use of disto's & scratches! Confused

    If you have not heard it. Go and get Xans Valley [EP]. Amazing!


    For the past few months I've been hearing a lot about Soma Soundsystem (myspace). Is he from Aus? or the USA??Confused. Regardless of his locale, the hype's something he just helps build up. Check out his mix for ZZZ's "Lion"

         ZZZ - Lion (Soma Soundsystem's Robot Lion Remix)

     

    & ZZZ's mix of Mehdi.

     

    DJ Mehdi - Signature (ZZZ Remix)

     

     

    ZZZ on myspace.

    Lucky for the Kid there are hundereds of people (Microsoft Included) who wants to help ease his pain. Hit up Engadget to follow the story incase you havnt.
     

     
    The family not being able to afford a console is just bs.
     
    Just because you're poor does not give you the right to be a compelete dick to someone, especially your own innocent kid. Clearly the only side Dad sees is Funny. Douche!.
     
    I hope someone calls Child services on them.

    Busey Attack!

     
    This guy cracks me up/freaks me out at the same time. Yup!. Brilliant 'Actor' that! Tongue out
     
        
     
    WOW! I'd have bitch slapped him all the way to kukkaboo (I did make that up. A place far far away!).
     
    Oh and for the 1934739th time. Jennifer Garner Rocks!
     

        
     
    The moment she said "Hi, Im grace", the poor kid dint stand a chance!
     
    & as much as I think the names he took are pieces of crap, he's not really somthing to "look up to" either!.
     
    The guys brain is more fried than Ozzy!
     
    For more Busey madness, watch his skin cringing 'acting' in Entrouge (season 2 i think).
     

    GADAMN!!

    No Comments! Don't tell anyone

     
     
    LOL!

     
     
     
    Im pretty sure this pic is rendered, but its freaking awesome!

     
     
    Only an Apple owner could do that.

    HAHAHA

     
     
     

     
     

     
     
    Those are some P.O'd....Rats??

    Shut up! You're gonna wake the neighbors

     
    Sick of Will Ferrell & all the SemiPro promotion??
     
    Well, he isn't going away anytime soon (that's a good thing! :P), as his next movie Step Brothers releases 25th July.
     
    Adam McKay is behind the camera while J.C.Riley co stars.
     
    Here's the first trailer:
        
     
    Looks pretty kool!
     

     
    Remember the Get Smart trailer I posted a few weeks back??
     
    I was unimpressed to say the least. This time the third (!) trailers out and it redeems the initial one by quite a bit.    
     
    Even though the initial screenings have generated positive (pre)views, I still think the movies gonna be mediocre at best. Lets see if they prove me & the fact that "All the good bits are in the trailer" wrong!.
     
    Comes out next month.

    Let Go! (Not related to Avril in anyways! ^_^)

     
     
     
     
    I seem to be having this problem a lot these days. Life presents you with so many options and choices sometimes that even if you know a thing may be wrong (or just not as successful), you feel like continuing.
     
    Sometimes the hardest thing is just to say no!.

    Lol!

     
    I've been lazy with posting stuff. Sorry!

    The trend would've continued if not for this linkage love.
     
     
      
     
      
     
    Basic premise is; These guys go to a Starbucks with Desktop PC's & how the people react to that. It dint sound funny to me either, but you gotta watch it to appreciate it. Hit up the link in Green for more info, pictures & reactions!.
     

     
    PS: No music for the last 2 weeks. Yes I know & im sorry. I was either out of town or just really busy & away from the compter. I havnt heard a lot of new singles, but do check back on friday for some wicked tunes........OR sets. Either way its gonna be good.
     
    Thnx for all the referals, do keep em clicking :).

    Just Kill me already!

     
    Thnx to sam for sending me this AICN story. Leo di Caprio is gonna play Kaneda in the Live Action Akira Movie....
     
    I feel like shit. Had a physical/check-up today and all the wierd test have screwed up my whole system  & this story is pissing me off WAY too much to do a long rant on it.
     
    To keep it short and sweet. Fuck you hollywood & marvel. Destroy your own franchises all you want, no one cares. Just stay the fuck away from works that are followed by millions worldwide :@.
     

     
    So Edison Chen fucked-up! Thats quite alot of 'fancy' starlets he seems to have 'hooked up' with!
     
    I agree with the comments @ JJared...This would NEVER EVER happen in the us. (Someone apologizes for a sex scandle and leaves due to the emabarassment).
     
    Have not really seen the pics or read more about it, Im sure ill hear more over the weekend.
     
    EDIT: I dint check my mail. Go here for all the details, updates and stuff.
     
    He really fucked up!. Forget leaving the country, he's a "marked man" for life now.

    Superman!

     
    I was unable to watch the all star weekend.
     
    Just caught up on the Slam Dunk Contest & WOW!. Blew me away!.
     
    Superman was freaking AMAZING. You gotta see it to belive it & Santa's here to help!
     
    Download it: 2008 NBA All-Star Weekend - Slam Dunk Contest  . 345mb .mp4 torrent in h264 codec. Get VLC for the pc. It'll play great on your ipod & Phone (tested it on a n95, iphone & ipod touch. No problems).
     
    The "birthday cake" was pretty awesome too.

    ARGGGHHHH!!!!

     
    So if you know me, or have read this blog before you know my "Aww cutie! :)"/"ARRRGGGHHH, SAVE ME!!" relationship with Elmo.
     
    The latest looks pretty darn awesome
       
     
    My niece had the earlier Tickle me Elmo doll which creeped me out... so much so, I can totally understand why these guys did this:
     
      
     
     Whats creepier?
     
    Elmo's demented laugh, or Jack Nic as the J Man!? Confused

    I've been RickRoll'D !!

     
    Oh no! :P

    Wow

     
    I have not been to to KMB for a while. Just did and came across this.
     

    http://karachi.metblogs.com/archives/images/2008/02/febmb/crocodile-thumb.jpg

    Wow...thats just fucked up. If it is a croc (looks like a mermaid to me! :P), how did it reach all the way to khy-e-itehad!?? (I really dont know if there are crocs in the Creek, but thats still a fair amout of distance to cover for a croc, esp with all the sand and bushes in the way).

    What happened to the poor things head?? The carcuss is partly eaten up by th birds, but the head seems to have been severed. If that is the case, some sick fuck probably kept the 'trophy' and threw the body away.

    Its pretty depressing to think about the kind of world we live in :(

    Better resolution pics on flikr.

    Vote or Die!

     
    Its death either ways, not much of a choice either ways now is it? :P.
     
     
    So yeah, I'm back.
     
    In high spirits. With the elections and their aftermath (Lets hope to God for min damage) I can see atleast 5 days of paralyzation! (sp?).
     
    Stocked up on plenty of new movies and music to keep me occupied, unfortunately I could not manage to go to the book store. Have 3 in mind including the new Grisham novel. (Please dont tell me if its shit, Ill read regardless).
     
    Weathers changed. Mid twenties but kinda hot during the day. In no way am I bitching, infact I would gladly take this kinda heat than the 45C we'll be getting in 3 months! :(.
     
    Catching up on stuff, will post what I find intersesting.
     
    Hope everyone stays safe & out of harms way. Gl! ;)
    2/12/2008

    Here's something we can all get behind! :P

     
    Saw this on the Globe website whilst checking out pre-spring training photos.
     
    There is just something about "babies were born to be breastfed" that's cracking me up Tongue out.
     
    Before ppl start telling me off, Yes its a serious topic & no 'formula' can replicate the nutrition value of a mothers milk, but take it as a joke.

    I'm pro all sorts of Breastfeeding! Tongue out

    Trailers Galore!

     
    Couple of trailers that aired during superbowl & I forgot to post last week.
     
     
     
    The new Ironman Teaser. Its kind of a let-down for me, but then again, there isnt much that can up the original teaser:
     
        
    Iron Man Superbowl Trailer
    Uploaded by ginfarang
     
     
    Second is the new Jolie movie, Wanted. Nothing too special except, pause at  00:24: 
     
     
         
     
    HOTT!!

     
    The upcoming (April 18th) Jackie Chan / Jet Li movie "The Forbidden Kingdom"  has a trailer out.
         
     
    Imho, instead of making an 'americanized' movie, they should've stuck with mandarin/cantonese....cause lets be honest. Jackie 's movies of late have sucked!
     
    Li BingBing (aka the awesomest name EVER!) as the bounty hunter looks hot though! :P.
     

     
    The greatest trailer you'll EVER see.
       
     
    TDK 'Lego-fied'!!! :P

    Fixed!

     
    The music fridays entry has been fixed and should work fine now.
     
    For those who did not notice, it was really, realllllllly slow and in some cases just plain refusing to load.
     
    The divshare embedded flash player was slowing things down and completely messed up my html with a couple of tracks 'disappearing'.
     
    Im sorry for the 3 day delay. I did try a quick-fix on Saturday, but it had corrupted large parts of the html and I had to re-write some parts completely thus the delay.
     
    Everything works now except for the text in some parts over-laps the pictures. 
     
    I compose in fullscreen & thus the posts end up beind compressed for the main page. Just click on the specific entry or as always click on BLOG for optimal viewing.
     
    Happy Downloading! :)

    Shake it up girl!

     
     
     
    Hit up kissatlanta for an interview with Tittsworth. Here are some tracks poached from there:
     

    Tittsworth - Whips Remix

    Tittsworth - Brazilian Rhyme (Titts Disco Remix) (<-great party tune)

    You may remember him for his  jerky D.A.N.C.E remix.

     


     

      Gogol Bordello are a gypsy band from NYC.
    That is all I knew until a friend sent me this track of theirs:
     
     
     
    You can also check out the vid on yt.                                                                     
     
     
     
     Video quality is quite crappy & does not do justice to the track.
     
    The guy has a funny voice and I cant help but sing along!

     
     
    Who's the lady on the left? That's Rekha Malhotra better known as Dj Rekha.
     
    Born in the UK and living in NYC where she hosts a popular weekly gig, playing Desi music and Bhangra.
     
    More info on her official or myspace.
     
    Thnx a bunch to Rahul for tipping me & sending these banging tunes.
     
     
    Tracks from her album 'Basement Bhangra' (which, hopefully, I should be getting my hands on soon)
     
    Amar Arshi & Taz Dhillon - Teri Sadi (Dj Rekha Edit). Decent track, just not to my tastes.
     
     
    A collaboration with  Punjabi MC (I was wondering where this guy went),
     
    DJ Rekha & Punjabi MC -- Snake Charmer. In the 'right' environment this track is HUGE. On its own, meh! (imho of course).
     
     
    & Now for the SCEamER!!1oneEleven
     
     Dj Rekha - Basement Bhangra (ddpesh RMX).This track?, HUMUNGOS in any setting!
     
     
     
    If anyone has similar or any other good Punjabi/Bhangra track, please do hit me up :).

     & Now for the Normal trasmition! Tongue out.
     
     Hook n Sling had an amazing 2007. All you need to hear  is the remix they did on fellow Auzzie Sarah McLeod's 'He doesn't love you'
     
    There rework of a Stanton Warriors (left pic), tracks was not one I had heard. Glad that's fixed :).
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     

     
     
     I honestly have no idea who's behind this track
    but that doesn't really matter. Cause its great!
     
     
     
    H.Two.0 Ft Platnum - What's It Gonna Be (Thomas Gold Remix)(Zshare)
     
     
     
     
     
     
     

    Remember Arias??
    Well, you should. His track 'Magenta' was massive last year.
     
    Could he have struck gold again??
     
    Arias - Sweet Melody(Zshare)
     
    Its hard to tell. The original is true to its title.
     
    We'll have to wait till WMC & for a few mixes to come out to see whether it lives up to its potential.
     
     
     
     
     

     
     
     
    Speaking of getting remixes, Emjae's Can You Handle it has been getting a lot of love & should do very well at the WMC.
     
    Here's the banging original by the Bostonian
     
     
    Emjae - Can You Handle It (Zshare)
     
     
     
     
     
     

     
    Heard Calvin Harris yet?? Well you should've since I told ya'll nearly a year ago!. This kids great.
     
    From producing original content, to creating funky myspace gifs to romancing Kylie & now doing a remix for The Ting Tings
                                                               The Ting Tings - "Great DJ (Calvin Harris remix)" [zShare] [YSI].
     
     
    Btw Calvin supposedly helped produce some of the tracks on Kylie's X. I don't know which ones of the top of my head, so don't hold me to it!
     

     
    Speaking of Kylie.
    Another week, another Kylie Remix.
     
     
    This week its CSS reworking 'Wow'
     
     
     
    Kylie Minogue - "Wow (CSS Remix)" (Zshare)
     
     
     
    I still think the David Guetta / Joachim Garraud Mix is the one to beat!
     
     
     
     
     
     

    TRACK OF THE WEEK
     
     
    I think Robyn is great. In fact I Red heart Robyn (see previous posts).
     
    She's been touring the states for the re-release of her album & from what I hear is been going very well, which is  great as her music is quality.
     
    Here is a great remix of an awesome track:
     
    Robyn - Be Mine (Dusty Kid In the Tunnels Remix)
     
       
     
                                                 (divs)
     
     
     
     
     
     

    The 25th of Feb cannot get here fast enough!

    In case you're musically illiterate, that's the day Goldfrapp's fourth studio album 'Seventh Tree' releases!

    I posted the Gui Boratta remix last week & I really dint think ANYTHING would be able to top that.

    That's because I heard the original so long ago that I forgot how amazing it was in itself!

    Luckily the super kool, official vid is up on the inter-web for you to check out                                                                 

                

    Along with the Hot Chip, Ali Azmat, Sander van Doorn and Sons&Daughters albums, this is in my 'cant wait to get a hold of' list. (btw my Sander copy is in the mail. Should be getting it soon).

    So?, Have you pre-ordered your copy yet??


     
     Thats it for now. Over 15 tracks!
     
    Should keep everyone happy & make up for last weeks outage!.
     
    Sadly though there maybe another one since I should be out of town by Thursday.
     
    Might post something earlier. If not, here are a couple of things that should keep the peace! Tongue out
     
     
    Probably my Frav track right now;
     
    Trentemoller - Moan (Trentemoller Vocal Mix). & in case you haven't aleardy, check out the vid
