Sour Diez

For whatever reason, I can't stop listening to this song. Maybe it's because it brings back memories of my fondness for that lemon lime dank. Maybe it's because you could have a dime in the coin purse of your jeans and as soon as you pulled your pocket open a little, the whole room smelled like someone was burning already. Maybe it's those little yellow hairs on the plush fluffy green goodness. Maybe it's because of this production. I know it's not because of N.O.R.E. or Dame Grease's sub sub par rhyming. Maybe it's Styles. Whatever the reason, I can't stop listening to this song.

I was pretty disappointed when I missed the Knife's Webster Hall show a little while back. I have really been digging on the Knife a lot lately and Webster Hall is basically the coolest place ever, so I was pretty excited for the show, right up until it sold out. I heard that their live performance was kind of lackluster, lots of using the laptop and such, but that didn't really ease my pain any. I stumbled across some youtubery today of them performing live and now I'm even more bummed about missing the show.

Trippy as balls is what that looks like, I think I need to head out to foreign lands so I can catch one of their shows.


Mixed, Remixed, Remixmixed.

"We Share Our Mother's Health" by the Knife

"We Share Our Mother's Health" by the Knife, Ratatat Remix

"We Share Our Mother's Health" by the Knife, Trentemoller Remix

I've been enjoying the Ratatat remix a lot lately, even spinning it a little bit more than the original. In general, Ratatat is doing good things for me these days. I'll definitely be elaborating on them and 9 beats in the future. As for the Trentemoller Remix... eh. I suppose it's tolerable., but I'm not feeling it nearly as much as either of these other two.

Usually Dick Dale's legacy is regarded as just being "Miserlou", or as most folks probably know it, "That surf guitar song from Pulp Fiction and tons of commercials".

"Miserlou" by Dick Dale and the Del-Tones

Dale was a remarkable guitar player, who really helped shape the future of rock and roll guitar. He was using post production guitar effects before it was the norm, he worked with Fender to create new equipment with richer tones and more volume, and he played his righty guitar upside down and left handed before Hendrix did. He incorporated Middle Eastern and Eastern European melodies into his songs, something that was not often done in American Pop music up to that time. He also is responsible for the first recorded surf music instrumental, "Let's Go Trippin". Now I don't know much about Dick Dale's hallucinogen intake, but I'll let you listen to the song and draw your own conclusions.

"Angel Dust" by Gil Scott Heron



Gil Scott Heron is a poet and musician who laid the groundwork for what would become Hip-Hop. The wailing crybaby guitar along with the vocal hook make this song so irresistible, I guess kind of like addictive drugs! Scott Heron released this song in 1978, after the peak of his critical acclaim and before his politically charged Reagan-Era songs. If you're looking for one of his more seminal works, definitely check out

"The Revolution Will Not Be Televised" by Gil Scott Heron

or if you're looking to hear a song that Kanye samples, then definitely check out

"Home is Where the Hatred Is" by Gil Scott Heron

So sometimes, peer pressure gets the best of you, and you do some drugs. Now I know I don't advocate drugs, nor have I ever tried any of any sort. Anyone that tells you otherwise about me is a liar and is obviously just trying to spread lies about the Green Hornet. Aaaaand I've reached the level of pretension it takes to refer to myself with my blog name. Anyways, when you do certain drugs, there are just certain songs that really fit the mood.

Bombs over Baghdad by Outkast.
If there was a chemical process that transformed cocaine into an electrical signal, instead of a rock, you could hook it up to a pair of speakers, and this song would come blaring out. It's just so goddamn fast and funky and confusing.


America's Most Blunted by MadVillian
Over the past year or so I've just really enjoyed this one. You can't beat Doom and Lord Quas for smokey good times.


Great Gig in the Sky by Pink Floyd
Just trust me.


Marquee Moon by Television
So it's not the normal blips and beeps techno that you'd associate with e-tards and ravers, but it's got so many beautiful guitar melodies that it's just so easy to get lost in them and not even notice that the song is around ten minutes long.
