p.s. things that are awesome:

- my new apartment.
- patron.
- watching yuppies dance to cover bands.
- GOOD cover bands.
- the weather today.
- haruki murakami (read his books).

kill the noise - la sforzo (ocelot remix) (2008)

further seems forever - pagan poetry (cover)

haha, this is definitely a bjork cover. jason gleason is the only singer from FSF that could've remotely pulled this off. with that said, i love this cover.

sebastiAn - motor (2008)

sebastiAn from the ed banger crew is back with another single. the ending on 'motor' is a little off though. it tends to get excessively noisy, but the rest of the track is great. this is off his new ep 'motor.'

ninjasonik - tight pants (2007)

ninjasonik rolls with iheartcomix. not sure if you've heard of it or not..but if this isn't the best and the worst novelty track you've ever heard in your life, then you are not human. fuckin' tight.

this is a different version than the video version, but i think this is much better. and an actual song. somewhat.

brandtson - send us a signal (2004)

not a huge fan of this band, but this release is stellar. definitely a record everyone should listen to. i fell in love with this record in 04, and pick it up frequently. this is one of those bands that "progresses," but you wish never did. sighhhh.

le castle vania (aka dj dylan) is one busy dude. between lies in disguise (his project with blake miller of moving units), and djing some of the hottest parties around.. dude is on his hustle. having done remixes for artists like 120 days, snowden, and treasure fingers.. along with being remixed by the likes of the toxic avenger and la riots.. dude is definitely doing a good job of getting his name out there. we've got a couple of his latest tracks (including a lies in disguise remix of the toxic avenger) for your grinding pleasure.
