So… I’m not doing this yet:
Instead, my family decided to hold off and celebrate while all this happens tomorrow:
I haven’t been doing much music-ing because holiday season games have been devouring all my time, especially this:
And, as of yesterday, this:
Which, since playing, has raised this question once again: Why the hell would someone design a d-pad like this,:

Take this all you Health haters that were at the Nine Inch Nails show! Here’s some solid proof that experimental music is, in fact, influential and is more than just “noise”:
-Tabloid Sores - Health
-Tabloid Sores (Nosaj Thing Remix) - Health
-Bring the Tabloid Sores (Health vs. Public Enemy) - DJ ABX

So I went out for my first night of Halloween festivities, and I inevitably found my self at some fraternity. It was all cool and everything, except for the particularly bad DJ they had. He wasn’t quite as bad as this guy, but he was a generic hip-hop DJ that only used direct cuts pretty much the whole time I was there. It seemed pretty boring to me… but everyone was going nuts! I...

Here’s that infamous mix I said I’d post earlier. I performed this entire set live on October 18, 2008.
Tracklist:
- Hideaway (Switch Remix) - The Mystery Jets - The Way (DJ Dan Remix) - DJ Kue - Canned Heat (Calvin Harris Remix) - Jamiroquai - Street Justice (MSTRKRFT Remix) - MSTRKRFT - Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger (Deadmau5 re-edit) - Daft Punk - What a Feeling (Shinichi Osawa...

I just made my first mash-up last night. I took Deadmau5’s acoustic version of “Faxing Berlin” and combined it with Morgan Page’s “Longest Road to Nowhere.” I find it to be a very good song Autumn song.

So I’m writing the review for Annuals new album Such Fun (which I will post later, but I’ll tell you right now: it’s not looking too pretty) and I come across these two songs that sound strikingly similar, except one is good. See for yourself.
The Original - Annuals: Brother

Shirts! Please buy them for me!
Oh yea, and I kind of want all that DJ equipment too.

I can’t decide whether I like this remix by Designer Drugs. You may be confused by this, either because you can’t think of a bad Designer Drugs remix or because you don’t even know who these dudes are. Either way, this remix of “I’ll be Lovin’ U Long Time” by Mariah Carey is really well done, but it’s also got the problem of being a Mariah Carey...

So, the group that taught me electronic music was cool all over again has just taken everything I’ve been learning from my self taught DJ lessons and thrown them out the window. This isn’t to say that everything I’ve learned is wrong, it’s just that The Bloody Beetroots don’t care about any of that stuff, and are able to throw on just about anything they want and...

I borrowed a bit from Steve Aoki, but who cares? It’s still s(l)ick as hell… dude.
Tracklist: 1. Divine (Danger Remix) - Sebastian Tellier 2. Toe Jam (Database Remix) - The BPA feat. David Byrne & Dizzee Rascal 3. Cheap and Cheerful (Bloody Beetroots Remix) - The Kills 4. R.I.D. - Jack Michaels & Mark Batch 5. Alarm! - Rambrandt (awesome 8-bit breakdown in this one) 6. Waters...
...surprising
I just bought tickets to go see Cut Copy (which you should too), and I figured I’d do some searching for remixes of them since MixMeister just became my newest obsession and, let’s face it, it is easier to mix remixes together than actual songs. In my search, I found out that they did a mix on BBC Radio 1 back in 2005, and it is pretty awesome.

...live
So I was just messing around with my new mixing stuff and decided to try and make a live mix. Instead of being all badass and showing up to some club, grabbing the mic, yelling something like “Check it out, I’m about to fuck you up”, and then playing, I decided to remain in my basement and mix songs on the fly by my lonesome.
Tracklist: 1. Vuvuvu - MSTRKRFT 2. Detonator -...
...I made
I’ve been dabbling with this new program I got called MixMeister and it’s pretty neat. I just finished making my first mix, and I’m impressed with how easy it was for a noob like me. You can check it out here.
Tracklist:
1. DVNO - Justice 2. Bang Raiders (Bag Raiders vs. Bangers and Cash aka Spank Rock) - DJ STV SLV 3. Hideaway (Switch Remix) - Mystery Jets 4. Street Justice...
...you should see
If you’re like me, you are interested (if not, relatively well informed will do too) in the new video game coming out called Mirror’s Edge. It takes Parkour, throws it into a video game, and makes it look really good (unlike the previous Parkour video game attempt I’ve seen).

...short, yet critical
So I just finished one of the finest anime series that I’ve seen in a long time. Ergo Proxy is a must-see, especially for people that like sci-fi/philosophy type shows.
Pros:
-The show is crazy atmospheric
-Artistically stunning (characters, environments, everything)
-The show guides the viewer to reach some conclusions, while leaving other things up to interpretation
-You can tell...

Paul Robertson has two web pages (The Mecha Fetus Visual Blog and his livejournal) that showcase his mastery of sprite animation. He just came out with a game called Hikkikomori Quest, which has you playing the role of Hikkikomori, an agoraphobic nerd that experiences a certain life-altering event, causing him to venture outside the confines of home. It’s a short little RPG made with RPG...

Everyone should check out these crazy Italians. You can tell they truly enjoy the music they make (even with those masks on), which makes me enjoy it even more. Ladies and gents, I give you The Bloody Beetroots.

Want to post more than one song per day on Tumblr? Just search for the song you want to post on YouTube and embed it in a text post. You could just leave it as is with the music video or picture sitting there, but I like to condense things; so, what I do is I go into the HTML editor and adjust the height to 25 and the width to about 250. If you do this, you can also keep the fullscreen option on...

I’ll start with things I like. Brad Neely is someone I like. I highly recommend every video of his on superdeluxe.com as well as his film: Wizard People, Dear Readers.

Just got this new thing called a Tumblr, let’s see how it works. Stray thoughts will reside here as well as things that I like. If you’re looking for a dude with conspiracy theories or crazy political opinions, go fish.
