1. Just when you'd got really sick of dudes playing "1 Thing" and "Pull up the People" at parties, acting like they're
the man who invented fire and whatnot, some asshole decides to "mash" them "up" . . . .
Oh, hell, who're we kidding: this is really fun. Plus, if you play it at the beach you don't even need fireworks: just watch hipsters' faces pop clean off. (OK, if pressed we'd admit that if they made a
bleach pen for remixes, there's three bars of gratuitous synth-dropping we'd get rid of, but seriously, this joint is not nit-pickable.)
LISTEN: Carasco, "
M.I.A.'s Thing (M.I.A. vs. Amerie)" (mp3, via
Fat Planet and
Carasco)
2. Texas is the reason right now. If you know it, clap your hands hit
cocaineblunts and check out the
original UGK tape that Jive apparently screwed up, and not by slowing it down either.
3.
Rollie is remixing that
benefit Halloween song we posted about, and he's also posting all kinds of craziness like a remix of the ubiquitous Jr. Gong song that
FNX just added (er, what?!)
only with a Biggie verse and
another song from the Kanye album (which is, as you probably know, is kinda in the midst of a
torrential downpour right now.)
4.
So many shrimp posts that tune by Robyn -- expect her to be the next Annie, for sure (esp. if
this guy has anything to do with it, which we know he does). Song: an explicit retort to Gwen's "Harajuku Girls"? It would have to be, with a title like "Konichiwa Bitches," right?
