Friday Night DJ Party

I’ve been freaking the fuck out lately over the Estonian producer Mord Fustang’s little four-song EP called “Welcome to the Future” so I threw a bunch of his stuff into this week’s mix, which is heavy on the electro-house. Also check out the tracks by Duck Sauce, which is made up Armand Van Helden and (former Kanye West touring DJ) A-Trak.  Probably my favorite song on this joint is “Paddling Out,” from Miike Snow. There are at least three or four dope as hell remixes of that song, which was already a scorcher. That shit gets me hype.

The mix and tracklist are after the jump, fuckos.  Continue reading →

My Favorite Rapper Right Now is a Fat Albanian

VIDEO IS NSFW

I can’t believe I’m saying this but the hottest rapper in the world right now might actually be an Albanian from Queens named Action Bronson. He’s shaped like a bowling ball, with a fat, goofy face and red hair. He frequently gets called “the white Rick Ross” (based purely on his appearance, not his sound). His voice happens to sound disturbingly similar to Ghostface’s and he also happens to be a trained chef who regularly rhymes about prosciutto and shit.

Bronson’s been putting in steady work over the past couple years but his new mixtape “Blue Chips,” which sprung from a marathon studio session with the producer Party Supplies, has been getting a ton of attention since it came out last week. Continue reading →

A Quick Introduction to the Nu-Disco and Re-Edit Scene

We’re living in the golden age of disco. No really.

In the late 90s a Parisian DJ named Dimitri from Paris started updating long-lost 70s disco and funk (rare grooves) tracks using drum machines and sequencers. The new tracks were usually called “re-edits” by the labels and as the sound caught on over the next few years, the disco revival turned into a new sound entirely.

Barbasol Has Produced a Wonderfully Terrible Commercial For Us

Barbasol is a brand of old-timey shaving cream that I can only assume is mostly used by old school leather strap-wielding barbers named Tony who know all the local cops by their first name and do a nice side business in taking bets. This is not the brand of choice for the guy who wears mantyhose. Barbasol is for guys who aren’t quite sold yet on that new-fangled shave gel shit!

So over the past few weeks I’ve seen this new Barbasol spot in heavy rotation on Comedy Central. (Sorry, but the joker who uploaded it won’t allow embedding so you’ll have to click over.)

This ad is so awesomely bad that I felt it deserved a deeper examination.  Continue reading →

LMFAO and PeopleOfWalmart.com Mash-up is the Greatest Video Ever

This actually showed up on Youtube recently! Apparently some insane genius mashed up America’s two greatest cultural contriutions to the world: LMFAO’s “Sexy and I Know It” and cell phone snapshots from PeopleofWalmart.com.

I appreciate the way the videographer matched up the photos with the lyrics. This is art, people.

Malachy the Pekingese is Saving Our Economy

You may have been too busy heating your last can of hobo beans over a kettle drum fire to notice, but Malachy, the world’s smartest mop best-looking dog is single-pawedly saving our nation’s economy. The Westminster Dog Show-winning Pekingese rang the opening bell at the New York Stock  Exchange last Thursday. Then shit got real.  Continue reading →
