Social Disco Club - The Unity Agency Mix (May 2012) [mp3]

Currently listening to as my weekend jump off soundtrack.

90 minutes of real nice House-ish grooves. Perfect.

Look, I made a funny!

(I’m a week behind on TV and just catching up now).

Fugees - Vocab (Refugees Hip Hop Remix) [mp3]

Yesterday, I listened to the latest episode of The Champs Podcast, which features a lengthy interview with Pras from the Fugees.

Today, I am going down a rat hole of mid-90’s Hip Hop mp3s.

Elijah & Skilliam - R&B Classics - Rinse FM 7/5/12 [mp3]

Afternoon at work cool jamz alert!

A 3 HOUR dj set of 90’s R&B.

Track list here.

Listen, I’m as excited as all the other self-identifying electo-nerds about the playable Google doodle of a Moog Synth, but is a 15 minute video tutorial on how to play the doodle really necessary?

Pretty great long weekend.  More of these, please.

Lazy Sunday - Dec 17th 2005
Lazy Sunday 2- May 19th 2012

The elephant in the room: The Lonely Island dudes have been fake rapping for 7 (seven!) years. I’m not knocking them… I’m just pointing out that we’re all very, very old.

Thinking about having a “Pop Rocks Minute” of my own. (Taken with Instagram at Westbank)

Something-something disobeying Prime Directive #4 something-something.

Dent May - Best Friend [mp3]

I hear you’re buying a synthesizer and an arpeggiator and are throwing your computer ukulele out the window because you want to make something real a summer jam.

Kids In The Hall - These Are The Daves I Know

This clip was an actual point of discussion in a work meeting today!

Also: MOM JEANS ALERT.

Beck - Broken Train

Riddle me this… since seeing the whole Don Draper listens to The Beatles thing last Sunday, I’ve had this Beck song stuck in my head.  Which is stupid weird because despite the retro feel, it obviously sounds nothing like Tomorrow Never Knows (and apes a musical style that wouldn’t even have existed at the same time… would it?).

So either my brain is a complex warehouse of music memories that magically and non-linearly links together strangely related tracks… or I’m just getting ultra lazy subconsciously and lumping music into two broad categories of OLD! and NEW!

Between this and the collective lather over a magazine cover, I’m now ready to endorse burning the entire internet with fire and starting all over again.

Hasan Minhaj is pissed off at Ashton Kutcher, and he’s also really fucking funny.

This is really good… not so much because it’s funny, but because it’s a really smart evisceration of lazy, stereotypical portrayals of Indians incorrectly justified as comedy.

theidiotking:

Oh holy fucking shit, it’s Friday. Are you fucking ready for this, you sick bitches? It’s time to grab the weekend by it’s rubbery taint skin and never let go. Is that clear enough for you? TGIF doesn’t begin to do it justice. Maybe TAUFGIFFYPOS, as in Thank An Ugly Fucking God It’s Fucking Friday You Piece Of Shit!! You ready for this? You man/woman/dog enough to stare down the barrel of 3 days of debauchery and bacchanalia the likes of which haven’t been seen since ANCIENT GREECE?  Well, ARE YOU?

Oh, you’re gonna lay low, maybe hit a party or two but also try to get some work done?

Yeah, me too, probably.

Me too, probably.

Ronnie, Bobby, Ricky, and Mike!

Hey, did the Sled Island guys get Greyhound as a sponsor?  Because I think every band from Vancouver is playing this year.

Note: I’m in no way complaining.  This is gonna be great!
