danger mens room

so imagine you're playing zelda, but instead of leading link through a pseudo-medieval fantasy land to some princess that needs saving, you move your electronic avatar through a kaleidoscope neon dystopia, all vibrant color swirls and orchestral interludes, synth stabs replacing sword thrusts. a magical mystery quest. and at the end of it, the physical journey you took covered only the distance from the dance floor to the men's room. ...with or without a blonde princess waiting for you outside.

and i was a boy from school, and he was a boy from school

a great cover or mashup reveals something new about the original version. boy from school was always my favorite hot chip track: a poignant, powerful and danceable ballad of outsider kids who struggle in their youth and meet later in life having come out the other side.

as a gay man, when ed droste sings these lyrics they take on a new tender sadness, but also a triumphant and beautiful satisfaction.

we tried. but we didn't have long.
we tried. but we didn't belong.

now i meet you on the street
harmlessly breaking rules, we meet.
lives are found and loves are lost.
say goodbye to nothing everything caused.

say goodbye to everything nothing caused.

tre

i first met travis sabiatis (aka. tre) halloween night 2008 at HARD haunted mansion in the center of the crowd during sebastiAn's nasty nasty nasty set. a connoisseur. but also a creator. tre proved later that night, and on many occasions since, that he knows how to control the crowd and get the whole room wet himself: dubstep, wobble, grimy industrial, and sometimes good ol' fashion strait up move your ass electro shit. check out his stunning tape-for-all-seasons halloween '09 mix below, as well as 2 brand new original tracks.

retribution gospel choir hide it away

all the male members of low, sub-pop, guitars, and the coolest band name since french horn rebellion. in fact, i think the retribution gospel choir should colabo with french horn rebellion and form a united army of vengeance, all band geeks and chorus dorks.
now that's rock n' roll.
