I don’t get why Morrissey wanted to burn down the disco. I mean, it is seems like that dude would want to put the fire out - or at least fireproof the place ahead of time. Asbestos! Disco! Sure, I’m pretty sure Richard Simmons’ mom had a disco 12″ out at some point, but that does not totally detract from the raw WOW that is really, really good disco. Moroder! Arthur Russell! Larry Levan! Cerrone! All those italo dudes with barely pronouncable names and/or straight-up ridiculous monikers! None of those people mentioned will be at Daisy’s on Friday (well, at least not that I know of - I will keep my eyes peeled on the RSVP list), but they will be coming out of the speakers - spun by Lazer & Blazer plus Ryan Kick from elsewhere and the Goodship DJs from a few houses down. And mark my words: if someone does not play “Spacer Woman” by Charlie, there will be a legitimate reckoning (I’d request “Kiss Me Again” by Dinosaur, but that seems unlikely - bummer). Bring a disco ball! Or just the willingness to 1970’s it up…

You know what is overrated? The future. Where’s my freaking jet pack? Cities on the moon? Sassy robot maids? Hot and cold running Tang? Do they even sell Tang anymore? And, in hindsight, what does Tang have to do with the future? It’s just water mixed with sugar and artificial coloring. Couldn’t they at least get up to element 119 on the table (ununoctium is so 2002). The future makes me so mad… Well, the distant future, anyway - the not-too-distant future has the Goodship crew taking over both Daisy Baker’s and Bacchus for two floors of sonic + visual shenanigans. And really, when was the last time you let yourself have a full-on shenan? Joining the Goodship regulars (all of our restraining orders have lapsed, plus we got our shots for this one - promise) will be cml (top floor, top shelf beats) and Lazer & Blazer (ground floor on & on - all night!), which pretty much just means this will be unstoppable. As opposed to the future, which is apparently entirely stoppable - transporters? C’mon.

Jesse Stiles is a myth and a legend. I actually heard on the internet that Jesse Stiles is the the chap who made the final call on what bird belonged to which state as their “state bird”. Considering how close Mr. Stiles is with the animals, I wont even go into detail on how difficult of a decision this was for him. Not only was it difficult, you can’t even deny the sure brilliance of deciding that the Western Meadowlark belonged to Nebraska.
Here is a live set by The Jesse Stiles 3000 featuring real-time remixes of
M.I.A., The Beach Boys, Spank Rock, Belle & Sebastion, The Jesse
Stiles 3000, a tugboat, and several dozen other things. It was performed/recorded over at Revolution hall in Troy, NY in conjunction with our goodship New Years Resolutions 3 part party series.
This dude kills and he does it way better than anybody else I know of. I have been getting into all sorts of different kind of music because I am really feeling shellshocked over so much bass and dirty gritty french house stuff. I wish there was more of that super dancey but not blow your eardrums up stuff around (basically more dubsided-ish stuff). I am sure there is, leave comments and tell me about it.
Anyway, Hostage totally kills. Checkout his myspace for more tracks/tourdates/mixes of his. Like I said, I had been feeling kind of sick of this style of music, but Hostage totally brings it back and makes me remember why it blew my mind the first time I heard it.
spring is here! birds are singing, flowers are blooming, and music is in the air. here’s a little mix to celebrate the spirit of spring. forget the economic gloom for a little while and relax yourself and let that sugar love flow, as camp lo would say.
