Double Reading

In October 2005 I was going to write about how much I love the single for Royksopp’s song “Only This Moment.” Specifically, I wasn’t a huge fan of the song at first but then the remixes on the single made me change my perspective. I didn’t even finish sentences on this post…
Isn’t it weird how [...]

I was going to write a review of Sonic Youth’s album Goo. It’s one of my all-time favorite albums and was re-released in deluxe edition so I was going to express my love for it… but I only got so far as writing down the quote that appears on the cover.

I stole my sister’s boyfriend. [...]

Another reason to love our friend Wiki: an entry on unreleased songs by Madonna. I remember back in high school I used to love hearing about this stuff especially when it involved Nirvana and the Smashing Pumpkins.
Unfortunately, Wiki doesn’t have anything about either of those bands, but a quick search for “unreleased songs” does turn [...]

I can’t believe The Stranger is hating on the new Smashing Pumpkins song, “Tarantula”!!! This is very likely my favorite Smashing Pumpkins song since Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. (Yes, I did love some of the electro-tinged stuff from Adore, but MCIS has always been my favorite…)
The song totally reminds me, in fact, [...]

My post last night about Soulwax being the best concert ever was written in a somewhat drunken and hasty state. Now that time has passed and I am sober and more lucid, I want to add some additional details (in lazy list form)…

The opening DJs (JDH and Dave P weren’t as spectacular as I hoped [...]

I just got back from the Soulwax concert and I have to say that it was probably the best concert I’ve ever been to.
After a “Soulwax Nite Versions” set including “E Talking,” “NY Excuse,” a cover of Tiga’s “Move My Body”,” and others, they did a DJ set that had songs like the Soulwax dub [...]

A long time ago my friend Kyle introduced me to a song called “The Music Sounds Better With You” by a group called Stardust. I thought the sound was catchy and went out to buy the single, only to learn that Stardust is comprised of basically the best names in French electronic music (most notably, [...]

If there is a god, so far this is the best proof I’ve seen:
The Klaxons covering Justin Timberlake’s “My Love” — two of my favorite things in the past few months combined.

I’ve avoided posting YouTube videos in the past, but I’ve literally been watching this one at least three times a day lately, so I couldn’t resist. The song is “Tony the Beat (Push It)” by the Swedish band the Sounds and it’s remixed by one of my all-time favorite remixers Rex the Dog (checkout his [...]

So basically if you want to hear about my thoughts on “2006 in Remixes,” checkout Good Weather for Airstrikes post on Best of 2006: The Remixes.
I literally have each and every one of those tracks posted, and I must say that I love them all. (My least favorite, if you must know, is the Field [...]
