On, wiki-wiki-Wisconsin
This is the college town I live (nearly) in now. But you know what, I’m feeling this because it’s what Hip-Hop needs right now. Strip down the glitzy, hollow beats and autotune – bring it back to the, um, streets.
On that note, I’m going to the UW Men’s hockey game tonight, which is OUTSIDE. Fuck.Me.

The Good:
Lady Gaga vs. Elton John dueling pianos. An incredible start to an otherwise lackluster night. I’m into the Gaga. She’s also somewhat the female equivalent of Elton John. Best set of the night, best performance of the night.
Maxwell and Roberta Flack. Some real shit R&B.
Jeff Beck and Imelda May tribute to Les Paul. Makes me want more rockabilly in my life.
He can play a mean guitar. I’m down. I still think MGMT was the best new artist, though.
The Bad:
Was that Quentin Tarantino or Robin Williams?
Also bad, the overkill censoring on that performance.
Only Robert Downy Jr. and the headfake intro save this performance. Also, Jamie Foxx, you don’t need the autotune. You’re better than that.
The Ugly:
It’s bad enough that we can’t let MJ rest in peace, but dragging his kids on stage? Leave these kids alone. Or give ‘em to Joe Jackson. “How much for ze little girl?”
Can anyone tell me what the other two Black Eyed Peas actually do? The four of them don’t dance, don’t play instruments, and can’t sing. To paraphrase Tommie Sunshine, it was like watching a Target commercial on stage. PLEASE STOP MAKING MUSIC.

Le sigh
I’m in the mood for some French. Cuisine, art, and music. Maybe it was Anthony Bourdain’s show in Brittany last night and the amazing oysters that even the dogs were picky about.
Today, I have achieved French-electro-remix-of-pop-songs overload.
Kelis – Acapella (David Guetta Remix)
Ke$ha – Tik Tok (Fred Falke Remix Radio) [find the extended if you can, it makes this song almost bearable - i mean playable]
And a palate cleanser from the summer: Fenech-Soler – “The Cult of Romance” (Alan Braxe Remix)

A track from the Daft Punk scored “Tron Legacy” movie has leaked. It is awesome and Tron-y. I cannot wait.

My Downstairs Mixup
Just ripped this from vinyl, it’s the start of a mix I recorded a while back (which will be posted up mighty soon). Super rare, found it here on 7″ vinyl. Some Bootsy-like funkysauce on the bassline here.

Sleep leaks
It would be nice to get some sleep around here. My ceiling is leaking, and I’m pretty sure there’s a leak in the wall. That should be nice, come summerblackmoldtime. I hate the drip… drip… drip… of water leaks. So, this morning I went looking for some good leaks. Nada. Checked out Digiwaxx and, man, have they become, well, weird. What used to be a pretty sweet service for radio & dj promos has turned into a Kenny Chesney and dancehall circle jerk.
However, they did have the track to this awesome Nike puppet commercial. It features KRS-One and Lupe Fiasco on vocals and I wish I knew who did the production. It’s not commercial hip-hop; more like commercials saving hip-hop. Peep:

Sporadic funk
I tried Tumblr for a minute, but I don’t think I’m feeling it. It feels like a popularity contest, and memes are teh win. Whatever.
With the mission of sharing content and furthering the arts (*ahem*), I’ll stick with this. I’m working on fixing some great live mixes I made at the end of last year – I’m looking @ you, JoshStansfield, and your need to randomly drop cue points. This gem is at the beginning of the recording.
Golden Flamingo Orchestra – “The Guardian Angel Watching Over Us” (128k)
Find it here, along with a cornucopia of choice cuts.

I watched this before bed last night. Beautiful. Nick Cave on the narration.
