I don't know who the man in this photo is but I think he looks pretty pimpin' -- he's got the whole Goodfellas thing going on from the waist up. He's even rocking a vanity cane. Fom the waist down, he looks like he's ready to run a 10K marathon.

Just a quick little post today to tide you over till the next episode. (God knows when that might be.) I've been obsessive about a couple of remixes from French duo Cassius (a.k.a. Zdar and Boombass). "Toop Toop" is an infectious little treat of a tune (you can hear it on their myspace), and the remixes of this single even more so. In total, I have six -- SIX! -- different remixes but I figured I'd post the two I like best.
*
Cassius - "Toop Toop (Olivier Koletski Mix)"
Cassius - "Toop Toop (Cassius Reggae Rock Mix)"
*
Yes, yes... typically, I'd fear the word "reggae" in this context too but this track is more rock and bouncy bassline than any weird reggae sympatico. No need to tread carefully.

And damn if there isn't a better album to blast at 1:00am when me and my late-night boys are still at work than Soulwax's Nite Versions. My buddy Mike even has a disco ball at his desk just in case I feel the need to break into spontaneous dance. Equally as good is this lapcrusher -- a must-buy.

Soulwax - "Teachers"
Buy here

Take Radioclit for example.
Nothing super new but still so ace! Always a pleasure to revisit these boys.
Particularly gravitating towards "Sound of C" -- it's so electric boogaloo, makes me want to do the worm which I reckon would be rather unsightly.

I'm sure you've heard of The Blow by now -- and I don't want to bore you with yet another rehashing of their bio. And truth be told, it's a good trak but nothing earthshattering. Sorry. That said, here's a track from their album Paper Television.
The Blow - "Pile of Gold"

I'm so excited that the general response has been so great for The Rapture single, "Get Myself Into It." People, it's just the single -- imagine just how incredible the rest of the album is! Just wait until you hear "The Devil" (probably my other favorite track off the album) -- you'll flip your lid. Plus, the guys are playing the MTV VMA Afterparty on Thursday... woohoo! The VMAs are the same night as the Jamie Lidell / Rocks Off Concert Cruise so I guess I'll miss going to the actual awards ceremony to catch Jamie on a lovely cruise boat and then book it to the afterparty. Should shape up to be a lovely week, indeed.

you're missed
yayayayay! you're back! the olivier koletski mix is fantastico, but i'm finding the reggae rock mix a bit flat.
and why is everyone loving on soulwax nite versions now? everyone's all over it. agreed it's pretty amazing but all at once. makes me think that there's a machine here at work.
: )
