DJ Non-Chalant: Soulwaxed

I was able to trick Deejay Non-Chalant, a Philly spinster I'm buds with, to make a Soulwax mix tape the other day while waiting for the Phillies game to start. I considered it a trick because he wasn't really prepared for it, and it was a selfish way to get an 80-minute jam-out of my favorite band. If Soulwax heard the mix, they'd love it, mostly because their stuff's hard to get in the states and we control most of the real obscure remixes, concert footage, originals and mashups. It's not perfect. But it made for a wild 4 a.m. drive to this underground rave in the Philly badlands over the weekend. I hope you like it. (Just Click onto the Headline to download for free).

Revenge of the Nerds: Booger Presley on the mean guitar

Nerds! The No. 1 song I'd love to own on, but don't. Soulwax should remix it for me, too.

Revenge of the Nerds - Concert Scene

Bonde Do Role: Baile Babe Bouncing

My future ex-wife: Laura Taylor from Brazilian baile funksters, Bonde Do Role (Coachella 2008)

The Juan McClean: Disco Diva-ry

The Juan McClean have that fluffy DFA-style electro sound. Features this dude from Six Finger Satellite and these cool guy-girl lyrics in a modern disco vibe. Saw them at Webster Hall a few weeks back. Was awesome!  

N.A.S.A.: Intergalactic Grime Story

N.A.S.A.'s "Spirit Of Apollo" hold probably my album of the year right now. Here's why. Killer live show. Fatlip from The Pharcyde even showed up (although that video looked like poop). And a sweet blend of dance rock, electro, mashup culture and hip-hop. Check out the M.I.A. video on the ceiling of the tent at Coachella Festival where I shot this shortie in April. And the sexy alien dancers, too.

Beastie Boys: New Style

Check out the cover of the new Beastie Boys record! Dude, looks like they mean business. Comes out in September. Gonna be awesome. The reissue of "Ill Communication" comes out July 14. Gonna get that, too. Even though I gots already, it'll be cool if they add "Mullet Head" to the reissue!

GWAR: Jobber vs. Jizzer

GWAR's not cartoon fighting anymore. No, these guys are throwing their weight around for real now, which is not too shabby for a 200-year-old intergalactic space schlock rocker like Oderus Urungus.

Check this out, the lead singer (term still used loosely after all these years on the mic) went - according to the photographs - giant penis-less when hitting the ring with former WCW/NWA jobber Tracy Smothers last week at the Schoenbaum Amphitheater in Charleston, W. Virginia. 

And he won the match, according to his publicist, who released the news last evening. Now, you have to remember, Smothers was always a joke - once staging a failed faux character that was one part Shaq, one part Ali. And that's about as jabroni as it gets. I often remembered him getting his ass kicked by Buff Bagwell all the time on lame Saturday night TBS wrestling shows.

“It wasn't too hard ... I just grabbed his neck, and choked. His eyeballs popped out of his skull. End of story,” Urungus said, noting that Smothers corpse was "quickly re-animated" by his "necrotic power." 

The two pledged to continue to wage their war as long as people “gave them money for it”.

“This is huge in Czechoslovakia,” said the still-bleeding Smothers.

 

The Field: Hyper Active

For those who say there's nothing to see at a techno show than a couple of dudes turning knobs and pushing buttons, welcome to the hypnotic, light-streaming, mind-expanding world of The Field. The Swedes are seen here opening for The Juan McClean at Webster Hall in New York at the end of June.

Presets: Major Lazers

It was a crazy idea, but Queens Mike and I saw The Presets - these Aussie electro-synth duo I've had a mad "bromance" with about one and half now - at Webster Hall a week before flying to California for April's Coachella. We already knew The Presets were playing out there, too, but wanted to see as many Coachella bands as we could before we left to avoid scheduling conflicts while out in the desert. Well, we made sure to watch the guys again at Coachella, the light show seen in this video answers the question, "Why?"  

Major Lazer: Ace of Bass

If anyone can resuscitate Ace of Base's career it's my man Diplo. The Philly native dropped "All That She Wants" at the sold out record-release party for his new Major Lazer project with Switch a few weeks back at S.O.B.'s in New York. The crowd went nuts (as I tried to catch it with the good 'ol video phone) and so did Queens Mike and myself. That dude will spin anything - with a straight face even.

Kool Keith: Pubic Enemy No. 1

If you don't know Kool Keith you're lame. And if you do know the rap supreme, you know he rolls unedited. Queens Mike and I caught the hip-hop legend at Johnny Brenda's in Philly April 3-4 when I caught him on tape asking the crowd if they ever smoked pubic hair. Yeah, pubic hair. It was only a small segment of a long rant where I think sex with zebras came up. I got some other spots from show on tape. I hope to post them today, too.
