ditty

me: thom
thom: Yeah mayne.
me: do you happen to have paperboy's ditty? because somehow i heard zapp's computer love and remembered the do wah ditty song that pales to ditty, which sampled it.
thom: I do not. I have Doo Wah Ditty, but I don't have Ditty.
me: aw. it's a super good summer driving song.
thom: Shit, if it's better than Doo Wah Ditty.
me: i mean, it's a bit droning. but it's so good to drive in the summer sun with ditty blasting. paperboy just doesn't sound like he gives a fuck about any superficial shit like bitches and hoes and diamonds and junk. he just wants your ears to trick your endorphins into thinking his music is chocolate.
thom: Ha! Well, I mean, that sounds like a lot of fun.


the music video audio doesn't do it justice, but the video is awesome. he could only have been born in oakland.

3rd floor is the study floor.

I am supposed to go over 8 chapters (~210 pages) in my biology textbook today for my final tomorrow. Fuck me. Since I can hardly read, let alone write, I decided to hold off on music and post a couple movies.

This is the DJ Orgasmic version of TTC's Travailler. He added more speed, more chorus and much more slap. Be sure to check out Tido Berman at the end with that amazing suit of his.

GO DJ!

Justice Live 30min ILoveTechno2006
Uploaded by hepooh

This video is a little old but it's cool to see the Justice boys doing half of what they do best.

Turntable Lab is offering '† ' for a limited time with your choice of either a copy of the 'Alor Les Filles...' mixtape (mixed by DJ Orgasmic of Institubes), a 2006 Justice US Tour T-shirt, or a white label 12" of D.A.N.C.E. You can find that here.

The first time I heard datA's 'Minuit Jacuzzi' remix I got all hot. It felt like someone connected electrodes to my penis (a la Abu Ghraib) and sent a very sensational electric pulse straight up my body. datA's take on Terry Poison's 'Ballroom' evoked the same feeling, except this time the electrodes were connected to my lips and i ended up throwing up on the floor.

Haiducii vs. O-Zone vs. SebastiAn

You know you've got a prime Romanian yodel when Europe's hottest artists are all in on that. O-Zone? Haiducii? FUCK YEAH! Lucky for me I was in Germany during Summer 2004 when the only song(s) that people listened to were the two versions of 'Dragostea Din Tei'. I really have no idea why, but people went nuts over them/it/whatever. Strangely, it wasn't until about half way through my trip that I realized there were two versions. I distinctly remember waking up in the middle of the night to some German music channel and seeing a somewhat pretty woman singing what seemed to be 'Dragostea Din Tei' while she was washing her face or something. At the time I thought that I had gone completely crazy. Shit was really odd.

I find the dual artist/same song thing very troubling. It forces me to pick favorites when all I really want to do is have a good time and sing really ridiculous yodels. You wouldn't think so, but it's really hard deciding whether or not to play O-Zone's out-of-the-closet cut or Haiducii's more soulful Toni-Braxton-esque-manly-ballad version. You should decide for yourself:




Anyone else think its strange that those O-Zone guys left the cockpit to go dance on the top of that plane, kinda irresponsible if you ask me.

Shit, even SebastiAn dabbled in that:

O-Zone - Dragostea Din Tei (SebastiAn remix)

The remix is only 50 seconds but I think that's because SebastiAn realized the song was too much of a piece of crap for even him to save.

Today is Thursday, the work week is more than half way over, here's mo' SebastiAn. This one was a little hard for me to find, but it was well worth it. I love how he managed to preserve the vocals while maintaining the signature SebastiAn sound. This has become one of my favorites:

The Editors - Camera (SebastiAn remix)

for some reason, everyone has started to rep the saints

from their first single, "(I'm) Stranded." They started out at the same time as The Ramones, only in Australia. The Saints only stayed in that specific genre for an album, before they started to branch out into combinations that were pretty ahead of their time. Their next album, Eternally Yours had a single entitled "Know Your Product" that included a bizarre horn section backing that really couldn't leave them classified as "punk." Blah blah blah, different direction for the next album, blah blah blah schisms between band members, blah blah blah blah line-up changes, blah blah blah.

The Saints' members have a long and complicated history that involved dragging the band's name through the mud with several line-up changes and poor musical style shifts, and the whole affair wouldn't be complete without the reconciliation between lead singer Chris Bailey and guitarist Ed Kuepper - on stage naturally. The one funny part about their Wikipedia entry {accurate, I'm sure}, is that Kuepper's reaction to Bailey's decision to keep his reincarnations of the band called The Saints was to call his band The Aints. Clever little Australians. Anyway, here is the video that, for some reason, has decided to become internet-popular:



Bob Geldof once said, "Rock music in the Seventies was changed by three bands - the Sex Pistols, the Ramones and The Saints." This is to be taken with the grain of salt, as this was the guy who thought it would be a great idea to marry Paula Yates, and name their children Fifi Trixibelle Geldof, Peaches Honeyblossom Michelle Charlotte Angel Vanessa Geldof, and Little Pixie Geldof. He also adopted Yates and Michael Hutchence's orphaned child Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily Hutchence. Lead singer Hutchence hung himself with his belt in 1997 on the last leg of the INXS world tour and professional whore Yates overdosed on heroin, so Geldof had to step up and do his Live Aid thing for his daughters' half sister. Pixie did help name Tiger, after all.

Hutchence was a pretty deep guy, and pretty deeply psychotic after a blow to the head from a taxi driver in Denmark. He was a lady's man, dating Kylie Minogue {back when she was young} and Helena Christensen. He was also a man's man, apparently, as famous transexual model April Ashley detailed her affair with Mr. INXS in her memoirs. Ashley's story is actually pretty ridiculous, like, movie-fodder ridiculous. So much so that there was a rumor going around that Catherine Zeta-Jones was in talks to play the transexual fashion model born George Jamieson.

Speaking of weird movie rumors that probably won't come to fruition, even though it'd be perfect if they wound up true: Harry Potter/Daniel Radcliff/Full Frontal has been reported as saying that he would love to play Pete Doherty in a rumored Libertines biopic, but has said, "if we start talking specifics about doing Pete’s life, it makes him sound like he’s dead – and he’s not dead yet.” For some reason, this strikes me as perfect. And to bring this circle of love just a little bit tighter, Pete Doherty blamed his poor performance at 2005's Live 8 concert on Peaches Honeyblossom Michelle Charlotte Angel Vanessa Geldof, claiming the then sixteen year old made a suggestive comment to him right before his set.

And THAT is your free-association pop culture jam inspired by an internet-relevant article.

séparé à la naissance, réunie pour la vengeance

This is from an Australian music program called Beat TV. I've never watched the show before but from what I can tell from the clip, Beat TV looks kind of whack.

Check out around 5 minutes for an interview with Justice. It's nice to finally see an interview with the Justice boys that's in English.
