March 4th: Dog Days Are Over

Boing boing, what's good people?

Show starts off with the 3 new tracks from Die Antwoord and then the mongo gets even heavier.

Christopher Walken, doing spoken word to Lady Gaga..... Genius

I played some Lady Gaga mixed with Ziggy Stardust, fun and kinda works, I personally am not all that big into "mashups", since I think they are usually just lazy and not all that interesting. However it somewhat works here.

However the mashup of Die Antwoord & Enya is balls.

1st Song Of The Week (SOTW) "I Got A Story To Tell"

The 1st SOTW is in honor of a man who died 13 years ago on March 9th 1997

The Notorious B.I.G.

His 1st album was called "Ready to Die" and his 2nd album was called "Life After Death" released March 25th.....

15 days AFTER he was murdered. I always remember how pumped I was to go and get "Life After Death" and how ironic and perverse that it was getting this mans magnum opus, which was so rife with him dealing with his own mortality.

The last song on the album is called: "You're Nobody (Till Somebody Kills You)".

Anyway this posting isn't really tied to how much of a tragedy his life and music is and was.

This is about the music. 

There used to be a time when album release dates were a big thing. Albums didn't get leaked, they had lead in singles and promotional tours.

Albums were events.

The Exclusive Company, used to do midnight release parties, I remember getting all sorts of albums the night they came out, and the one I remember the most was the album release for "Life After Death" by Biggie.

They had all the promotional posters up, and there was a big line of people really excited to be getting the album. It used to always reassure me that there were so many diverse people who were just as into music as me that they would be up and out and about at midnight on a Monday night/Tuesday morning, I really miss those days.

Sometimes I wonder if we all lose our sense of wonderment and enthusiasm for the world, when we get older & our lives get filled with so many bad things.

I digress....

I couldn't decide to do this post on his album release date (March 25th) or on his death (March 9th) I did know that, I wanted to have the 1st SOTW be about my favorite rapper.

So as to the music: 3 songs

1. I Got A Story To Tell <-- "you better talk to him...., arm, leg"
2. Juicy <-- "It was all a dream...."
3. Wake Up Show Freestyle <-- "I wanna curse"

 I have always thought that good flow and rapping, reminds me tremendously of poetry, and Biggie was almost comically gifted with prose and flow.

Biggie is certainly somebody....

New Things: Video of the week & Song of the week (VOTW & SOTW)

Hello Lovelies, 

I have been remiss in getting the shows to you and that sort of thing, but 18 credits of awfulness, will do that to you.

However, I will be somewhat better off by Thursday, and lo and behold there will be another show, until then (when I can get all caught up), I will bore you with another video you may, or may not have seen/heard.

This will be the 1st post, in a video of the week, which I hope will either be tied into the show, or at least an awesome piece of sound & vision.

I will also be doing a song of the week, which I will be giving away which will be uncompressed so you can listen to it in all its glory on your crappy computer speakers/headphones -_-

Seriously, your ears will thank you if you upgrade your sound making device. 

Without further adieu.....

1st Video Of The Week:  

DJ Shadow: Blood On The Motorway (Fan-made video version)  

from the album The Private Press

This video is made by a fan, it fits the song so, so, well. This song usually makes me feel is about 1000 different emotions when I hear it, I fell in love with this song the first time I heard it, and I hope you do too. 

I love so many video's but this is easily 1 of my favorites. 

I also own this video if anyone want's a copy, shoot me an email, with some contact info, and i'll do you 1 better.

I hope you watched the whole video, it does something to you, doesn't it?

When is someone going to give me $$ to do this?

Or when am I going to have the $$ to go on a trip like this 0_o

I know it is kinda passe to just blow $$ like this, but you kinda gotta admit, it does look like a lot of fun.

On a side note they have 1 other video called 'baby baby baby', which is amazing also

MAKE THE GIRL DANCE [KILL ME] (official video)



The group is called: Make The Girl Dance
The song is called: Kill Me

I'm sorry, but this video just makes me happy, but seriously, what record label gave these dudes this $$

See you all later on tonight,

There are many superior songs in this set, however they are not necessarily the agreed upon 'greatest' hits of said artists. They are what I feel were the best songs that would fit into the show, given the artist's picked, and what I think are their best songs. For sure there are many other songs I could have picked, and there are other artist's who fit into the idea of 'best & biggest' dance acts. Hopefully you find this as illuminating as enjoyable.

Why does this song not make me cringe?

Feb 18th Show in a couple of days, until then this song should tide you over, I think it is catchy and although tattoos are not a good look in my book, dude still has some visuals and charisma going on.



Plus songs about Ninjas have already been certified awesome
