"Real Love" No Means No

Real Love is scary. You try to hide but it looks for you.

Well, I finally got my first feature film financed. It's called Control Alt Delete. We start shooting May 5 so things are already in over-drive. Plus, both my brothers are getting married in the next two months. (the baby one in France in two weeks, the middle one here in June) All this is to break the news that I will be taking a short hiatus from this blog.

Stop crying.

I'll return with more self-important music advice in June. In the meantime, why don't you lazy-asses tell me what to listen to for a while? Do I look like I have time to surf the internet for the next big thing? No sir.

Since I'm going off to make this movie, I thought I would be cool to post the song that inspired it some years ago. It's a tune by my teenage idols, No Means No.

Talk soon.

"In The Morning (Hot Chip Remix)" Junior Boys



They finally got it over with and fucked each other. Well, I guess Hot Chip did most of the fucking, but Junior Boys are a very accomodating bottom. I've been waiting for this one with bated breath. Junior Boys are about to release their much-anticipated disc of So, This is Goodbye remixes, entitled The Dead Horse. I guess Hot Chip drew the long straw and got to play with one of the best song of last year. They deserve a lot of credit for resisting the urge to turn it into a dance floor banger, as we all know they could with their hands tied behind their backs. Instead, they embrace the sexy slowburn quality of the original. In The Morning never sounded so good in the morning.

Mad Decent Worldwide Radio #13 - Team Mad Deadly














I've posted Diplo's Mad Decent Podcasts before, but his latest is so crazy-wicked I'm willing to risk redundancy. It's a live mix that starts with some acapella Sizzla, moves into some Hot Chip, sojourns in Baile Funk land for a while and closes with some aboriginal Australian outback hip-hop. Dude's a visionary.
