This is the cover for a live mix tape I did for EC Brown’s COMA 13: Heatwave. The cover is a collage of appropriated album covers. Naked Eyes self titled LP inverted is the background. The three gentlemen from Revolting Cock’s album Big Sexy Land are surrounding a silhouette of the fabulous J/Wayne Country.

The mix is very happy, layered, fast, and a bit rough.

Saxophonist Celia Whiren and Artist Jacob Christopher collaborated on a set of improvised electroacoustic music as a sonic response to the collaborative painting show "Hot Mess" by Peter Hoffman and Caleb Lyons at Green Lantern.

Painting is a thing full of difficulties, but bunnies are easy to love.

What does it mean to drop yourself wholeheartedly into a moment? To be out there on the edge, opened up for all to see. It means something, perhaps something hard to articulate, maybe something warm on a hard frozen night. Speaking of the rigid, the structural systems behind this event; collaboration, mirroring and cross discipline interaction fascinate me. These things have a way of pushing the raw emotional performative moments out in front and framing them. If you weren’t there you missed out!

Lemon-Red was one of the first folks to introduce Bonde Do Role’s crazy new track “Funk De Esfiha” to the world. I got it from SUCKA, chronicler of the decadent life in Brooklyn. “Melo Do Tabaco” is the cdr promo this song comes from. It’s executive produced by Diplo, DJ Gorky, and Comunidade Ninjitsu. My copy came fedex from Turntable Lab the other day, and it has been in constant rotation ever since.

Funk De Esfiha is the last track on the EP. Built around a sample of the intro to “Summer Nights”; the John Travolta & Olivia Newton John song from the Grease soundtrack. The girl MC [whom I am assuming is Ribanceira] fucking tears it up over top of this munchy piano, bass, and snare loop.

Lemon-Red hints at the summer heat that leaks back lyricly from the “Summer Nights” track into “Funk De Esfiha”. Dawn sugested that Ribanceira was also copin moves from J.J. Fad’s “Supersonic” which I totally buy, in fact I would totally drop these two next to each other in a mix.

There is something about how easy and clean the ideas are in this EP. Any 12 year old kid should be able to follow the formula used here, but the sublime way these completely known ideas are applied makes these tracks just click. Click with a mind numbing fire.

Pitchforkmedia has a deeply uncool, and disturbing article that ends with this malevolent statement:

We are not scared that he has a message. It is the message itself that disturbs us.

We know the message and we know it is evil. We built this indie world to be far from that evil.

So take your crosses and your gods and go play somewhere else, some unhip sandbox.

This is possibly the most brilliant cover of any recording ever.

There is the fetishization of equipment. That stack of keyboards is drool inducing, but real the brilliance lies in the Pablov’s eyes; in the expression on his face. It is at once blissful lost in the groove; and blissful lost in a haze of drugs. This is the twin pull that makes us wish we were there, or at the least allows us to gasp in narcissistic recognition.

True, The Polyphonic Spree and The Flaming Lips are both psychotic. However The Flaming Lips are psychotic in a “we take lots of drugs to make our cleverness strange” way, but The Polyphonic Spree are psychotic in a “we take lots of drugs to die for god” way; and that’s just creepy and sad.

I wonder if Tim DeLaughter missed Wayne Coyne’s sarcasm and anger when Wayne sings jesus songs?
