The Deathset!!!!!!!!!!


May 12
This Thursday I will have the pleasure of reconnecting with my brother from another mother Japhet of The Deathset, while getting hammered at their after party. We also have Dan Sena of the Busywork party coming in from the west coast to tear the house down.

Wear something comfortable, it is going to get messy.

Love.

Ohh Busta, The Computer Can't Be That Bad, Right?



May 8
I found this while browsing through some videos of artists working in the studio. Basically, Busta is really saying shit like "When I was a kid.." or "I remember when.." about the music making process in this footage. I am not sure if I agree with him or not. I do agree that the computer is deprecating the value of musicians and people in general, but I also think that programs like Ableton and Pro Tools provide people that can't afford studio set ups and whatnot to remain completive against the giant record labels that attempt to feed people what they consider is good music. The power of music is back in the peoples hands.

Affordable music software gives people the power to get involved in music and allows people to enjoy music for sheer content and not image or advertisement. Artists like Justice, Gnarls Barkley, and Chromeo owe most of their success to this new way of piloting music. Their quality of music beat out the quantity. In the same respect, things like blogs and myspace allow writers or semi writers to compete with accredited magazines, newspapers and essays. Like this little post for example.

Who knows?

PS: Don't get me wrong I love Busta Rhymes.

Benny Blanco + Spank Rock + Kylie Minouge = Holy Fucking Shit!

Everyone knows that Spank Rock and Benny Blanco mix better than peanut butter and jelly or Wall St business men and cocaine but to collaborate over a Kylie Minogue is just pure sexy. This is my personal pick for "Song of the month to pour lube on girls to." Expect for this song to fuck your ear holes all summer. Download the shit and go buy Kay Y with the money you saved on the free music.

Kylie Minogue Featuring MC Spank Rock - Heart Beat Rock (Benny Blanco Remix)

Holler for a dollar,
