Mashuptown's words: Probably our favorite of all the Amy Winehouse or Peter Bjorn & John mashups, is the one we found over at GYBO a few days ago by DJ Topcat. Mr. Topcat is a skilled DJ who has recently been devoting the majority of his time to remixing.
I had an entire blog written on my copy clipboard about Blonde Redhead, and now it's all gone because my computer crashed.
Thanks Windows for your disrespect, lack of endurance, and fuckassness.
Here's B R live in Rimini, Italy "Doll is Mine"
and go see them tomorrow at McCarren Park Pool with I'm From Barcelona.
here's an mp3: Blonde Redhead - SW (Kazu doesn't actually sing, but it's still mighty fine.)
and for the record, I'm really pissed I couldn't send across what I wanted to say--I'm too bitter to reorganize my thoughts. I basically said I didn't like Misery is a Butterfly that much when I first heard it--plus, my cousin that went to Oberlin and saw them told me they weren't that fantastic. But then-I heard 23 and my criticisms were all smothered by Kazu Mikano's vocals-utterly hypnotizing me-my significant other burned me their unmastered album before its release date of April 10th, 2007, and I felt all special and listened to it quite a lot. I learned to like their other albums of the 90s, 2000's Melody of Certain Damaged Lemons, and 2004's Misery is a Butterfly. Exciting stuff.
go see them tomorrow at the pool (b/w Bayard and Driggs, williamsburg, bklyn.)
and also- read James Pollis's blog on them. It's good. He also mentions I'm from Barcelona, the opener, who I find to be very entertaining and Sufjan Stevenz-y with a cup of the Polyphonic Spree added to the batter. Don't you like my phrasing of that?
i've got nothing to say // i've got nothing to say // i've got nothing to say // i've got nothing to say// don't be a coconut, god is trying to talk to you //
I was listening to "Candy" on my iPod, and I thought, damn, this chick's krazy with a k-r-a-z-y. what ever happened to her? Even though she definitely copied Lil' Kim's groundbreaking "How Many Licks"-She deserves some credit.
The latest with this fine sister-
On February 15, 2007, Brown was arrested for Beauty Salon incident in Broward County, Florida. According to the Florida arrest report, Brown was applying beauty products in the bathroom when a Queen Beauty Supply employee told her the business was closed and it was time to leave. She refused and threw hair glue at the employee, the report said. Brown soon then spat on the man as he called 911, staining his shirt. A police officer found her in the shopping plaza and tried to get her to return to the store. When the officer placed a hand on her arm to escort her to the store, Brown swatted it away, then started swinging her arms and struggling with the officer, the report said. The officer had to "use a takedown maneuver to gain control" of Brown, according to the report. No one was injured.
thank jesus
She is, after all, a Park Slope, Brooklyn native, meaning she is cool by association.
