A jumbo arigato to our fans across the globe for the Pacific Rim Emmy nomination/Best Baltimore-Based Blog, but we need to talk. It's wack you guys get special "Japanese Edition Bonus Tracks" where artists cough up b-sides and other studio scraps for your ears only. We're OK with the extra Smashing Pumpkins detritus and other stuff no one cares about, but don't hold back Daft Punk.
Award for best Japanese b-side title goes to Beck for "Crap Hands" - basically the equivalent of Muscles releasing bonus tracks for Guns Babes Remonade.
Was going to put some motivational stuff up here about how it's the weekend, get ready with these beats, etc. but then sweet beard of Zeus I found the best video ever on YouTube ever (said ever twice on purpose). Yelle - ACDG
We like the guy on the left that just kind of stands there looking cool next to the E. Must post another one, but this time with more neon lollipops.
After last week's hiatus we are literally knee deep in the beats people. Prepare to pop, lock and roll for the dangerous digitals coming your way this weekend. This first gem is by Best Fwends, remixed by Charm City's own Spank Rock and featured on Fabriclive 33, which you can sample and buy here. Sounds like they've got booty rock for days.
Lastly, a seemingly innocent game of girl-on-girl "telephone" goes horribly, horribly wrong:
Simian Mobile Disco - Hustler
Note after the fact: this video was definitely not suitable for our younger viewers, particularly the chaps/chappetes at Butterfield Preparatory School in Lombard, IL. If Kathy (principal) or anyone from the Butterfield PTA would like us to remove the video, just give us a shout. You guys are the future!
