I Is Bored

I have been so bored today it is ridiculous. I staved off the boredom for a while watching stupid youtube videos. Lasagna Cat is good as it really shows how shit Garfield was.


Also Clark and Michael held my attention during the hours i could have been doing something worthwhile. Michael Cera the star of Arrested Developement and his buddy Clark Duke's internet show is pretty funny and has a few cameos.

I am really enjoying Santogold at the moment, especially the Creator track. Baltimore's Dj Scottie B did a cool bmore version of the tune that i am gonna be spinning out n the coming months. I hope this gets an official release soon.

The DFA remix of Paper Planes was leaked online this week as well. I wasn't really blown away by the original version, i thought it was alright but not worthy of the reception it seemed to get from the critics. This one is more my sort of speed with a spacey, cosmic vibe that i could imagine sounding good next to some Italians Do It Better release.

MIA - Paper Planes (DFA Remix)


Also hip hop heavyweight Dj Premier has remixed Grammy winning Dj and producer Mark Ronson. The remix of the Radiohead cover is quite a nice spin on the original, putting a hip hop slant on the funk version by scratching in the horn sections and keeping the whole thing mixable.

Well i am off to watch some more mind numbing television until i feel like commiting suicide.

Why Do I Still Call Them Mixtapes?

I had to give up my Prince ticket tonight which was a bit of a bummer so i recorded this mix as a way not to think about how much fun my friends are going to be having singing along to "I would die for you" and "When doves cry".

Anyways this mix is more of a "stuff i maybe play at the start of the night" type of affair than "stuff i throw into the mix at peaktime" sort of thing. It has a lot of 80s tunes on it as well so be warned.
