updates and shit.

sorry for the lack of updates on my part. i just moved to the dfw area (any plano/dallas readers out there? holler at a panda.) and am without internet. should be up and running by early next week. expect some dope new shit.

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).

everything is everything,

nightmare of you - b-sides

picked up their self-titled for the first time in a while, and i was reminded of all of these b-sides that are just as golden. be sure to check out their bang EP while you're at it. solid gold.

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

this remix is dope. i wish ocelot would hurry up and come out with a legit ep or lp already. in the meantime, keep up with his remixes.

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.'

p.s. i'm sorry about the lack of music, but i've been hectic with school, so i figure it's better to post something rather than absolutely nothing. summer's coming soon. holler.

the carps - waves and shambles ep (2008)

no, you won't find the link for their new ep here, but the carps are back with some fresh shit. they stepped it up huge for this one. way more people need to be on these dudes. seriously, if they can be huge in canada, wtf is america's problem that these two aren't blowing shit up? be a tastemaker.

if you need a reminder about how dope these guys are, check out the first post i did about them.
