Halloween and horror inspire some great music. Here's a few of my very favorite spooky tunes to get you in the mood. No 'Thriller' here—just rockabilly-punks The Cramps, shoegaze-y EDM Frenchies M83, composer for TV Milton DeLugg (covering TV composer Jack Marshall), Def-Juxian Hip Hop beatmaker RJD2, 80's rap wiseguys DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince, and a Cousin Cole and Flufftronix remix of a Misfits punk classic.
We posted the undeniably good Justice remix of Klaxons 'As Above, So Below' last week, but remember I said it reminded me of Michael McDonald for some reason. Well, it finally dawned on me that Justice must've have been listening to a lot of the Doobie Brothers at the time of making the remix. Listen to the Justice remix and then The Doobies 1978 hit 'What A Fool Believes' and you decide.
You should already have 'Myths Of The Near Future' in your collection, but if you don't you can remedy that here here. Everyone can use a little Michael McDonald in their life. Pick up some greatest hits here. Anyone remember Michael's hit 'Sweet Freedom' from Running Scared with Billy Crystal & Gregory Hines? Get all nostalgic by watching the video.
Modular's sweethearts New Yong Pony Club and the boy wonder from down under, Muscles come to the Mezzanine tonight to treat us to an amazing show. Jefrodisiac and Richie Panic will be behind the decks kicking out the jams as usual. Both groups had songs about Ice Cream which quickly became dance party staples. NYPC's song you might recognize from the Intel Core 2 Duo commercials from earlier this year.
Aw snap, Missingtoof is off to Vegoose. You're coming too, right? You should! Remember how your boo always says y'all should go on spontaneous trips? Now's your chance, young lovers! Halloween-desert-Vegas-PLUR-fest!
Vegoose doubles as a massive costume party—so get your scary/slutty digs together and let's all get terrified/horny and slam dance to Daft Punk (and/or Mastodon, who is also on the bill)!
If you're an L.A. head and you're sticking local, go check the costume party with Eric Prydz at Avaland tomorrow (the 27th). It'll be major-epic and that's where I'd be. (Oh, and have you touched yr self to the 'Call On Me' video lately? I have.)
Stockholm born Juvelen is like the Swedish Prince. Not 'prince' as in decedent of the king but 'Prince' as in 'Purple Rain' Prince. When I first heard Juvelen's creamy vocals poured on top of his funky fresh beats I thought 'The Kid' had released a new album. But no sir, It was Stockholm's finest belting out those highs and sexy squeals.
You can purchase a download of Juvelen's EP from amazon including the super sexy 'Watch Your Step' remix by Revl9n. Be on the look out for a full Juvelen album soon.
Greg Gillis a.k.a. Girl Talk and his Illegal Art cronies are causing yet another audio ruckus with the 2007 Sampler for the tail end of the year. In similar Radiohead fashion the release is free to download, but of course you can make a donation if you are a baller like that. The sampler includes tracks from Oh Astro, Realistic, Steinski & Girl Talk.
Girl Talk's "Lets Run This" chop up songs by Queen, Snoop, Kelly Osbourne and more.
Get the sampler here. Keep an eye on Illegal Art, Who know what they will have in store for '08. Catch Girl Talk on tour stage diving in his boxers on top of seas of hipsters in auditoriums across the nation.
After a week of downtime guess who's back in the internet house?! That's right, we've pretty much squared away all the server nonsense and we're back in full effect. If you tried to email us last night between 8-10 and the mail bounced back it's because we were re-configuring the mail server. Send it again!
But other than that, you'd better make some room on those ipod's cuz we've got a lot of catching up to do. To quote the always relevant Fugees 'Ready Or Not Here We Come'.
'Ready or Not' is off The Fugees 1996 'The Score'. If your copy of the CD got lost, stolen or spent too much time on the floor of your backseat you can pick up a fresh copy here. Visit Luca a.k.a. Drop Lime Lime on his M-space to partake in some more drum n bass'd up work.
Various technical difficulties (a.k.a. hangovers) prevented us from getting the new server up and running liked we'd hoped to this weekend. We're also dangerously close to bursting our bandwidth yet again, so we're going to have to cool it on posting mp3's until the switch which will happen tonight — scout's honor.
But we can't leave you guys hanging without any music to get your through your hellish work days, so please accept this nifty little indie/electro mixtape we made as an offering.
So, I was going to stay in tonight and configure the new server, BUT! We found out that Jefrodisiac was going to be in L.A. tonight so we called up our good friend Richie Panic who is fresh back from playing Ruff Club at CMJ and we sweet talked our way into djaying at Frisco Disco tonight!
If you have tried to access the site in the past two weeks chances are you have come across the most frustrating message the internet has to offer a.k.a. the '503 error'. The reason that error has been popping up is because Missingtoof has gotten too big for its server's skinny leg britches!
Thanks to all of you lovely readers our traffic has almost doubled since the beginning of the month, which is a great! To accommodate all of our excellent new readers we've had to buy a new server. I will be downloading the whole site and re-uploading it to the spiffy new server Saturday morning. After that, 503 errors should be a thing of the past and the site and database will load amazingly fast, the transfer rate should be greatly increased as well.
So bear with us! We love you guys and wouldn't want you to ditch us for a younger prettier blog. :)
. Everyone can use a little Michael McDonald in their life. Pick up some greatest hits
