Little Boots: ‘Meddle’ remixed by Toddla T / ‘Stuck on Repeat’ remixed by Fake Blood

littleboots Little Boots: Meddle remixed by Toddla T / Stuck on Repeat remixed by Fake Blood

I’m repeatedly impressed by Blackpool/London electro-pop/italo-disco diva, Little Boots (formerly of Dead Disco) has been keeping busy since her solo debut, ‘Stuck on Repeat’, that we raved about last February. That record still gets heavy rotation and is still one of the best tracks of the year. As is the more recent Fake Blood remix. Fake Blood can do no wrong. Nor can the producer of the original Joe Goddard of Hot Chip; the original deserves another go also:

Little Boots new single and first retail release, ‘Meddle’ is another worth getting stuck on repeat. This record will be dropped in the UK on limited release August 4th. Original on the front and remixes from Brits, Ross Orton and Toddla T on the flip. Limited run from 50 Bones Records. Order the 7″ wax from Puregroove.

Aside from being recently confirmed for the So Sweet stage at Southern California’s 13th annual Nocturnal Wonderland festival this September 13th, Little Boots is currently doing more cozy DJing gigs around L.A.. I caught my first intimate Little Boots performance last night in an East Hollywood discotech, the always amazing, always polysexual, A Club Called Rhonda. Hey Hollywood, you can see Little Boots again tonight at the pretty and young, PYT Friday night.

If you’re jonsing for more Little Boots, she has a new mixtape—a ‘Magical Tropical Mixtape’—available for free when you sign-up for her official mailing list.

Also see, Little Boots at YouTube, where you can watch her intimate bedroom performances, employing the cool-as-hell Yamaha TENORI-ON sequencer, sexy synths and Little Boots charm.

All up in the internets’ guts.

Monday through Thursday’s I spend most of the day ducking and dodging responsibility and/or my boss. My usual unkempt appearance (a.k.a. hangover) has been known to draw attention from the higher ups, so I try to lay low most of the day, pretending to work.

Ah, but Fridays! Everyone is preoccupied with turning in their timesheets and trying to get out of the office early, to be worried about why my hair isn’t combed or why my pants are far beyond acceptably wrinkled. It’s the only work day where I get the chance to spend some quality time with my mistress, the internet. We both snuggle up in my cube, I dim the lights and get all up in them guts.

RepertoireR All up in the internets guts.

A while back the Chazology empire came tumbling down and their absence left a gaping hole in our RSS readers. But, after retreating underground to regroup and plan their counterattack they have returned under the guise of RepertoireR! They’ve got a nice new look, but still the same great content. You know there’s always room in our hearts and iPods for Chaz. Should be the same for you. Visit them NYC boys and tell them we sent you.

ATL is the birth place of that legendary dirty south hip hop and has produced many great acts that we know and love. They’ve also produced one of the best blogs out there right now. Kiss Atlanta is run by Preston Craig, who is not only an exceptional blogger but he curates some of the biggest electro parties the ATL has ever seen. He’s like a young, white P. Diddy. Digging through Kiss Atlanta’s archives I found these gems:


MP3:  Snowden - Anti-Anti (Treasure Fingers remix)


MP3:  Snowden - Black Eyes (Le Castle Vania remix)


MP3:  Fergie - Glamorous (Treasure Fingers remix)


MP3:  Armand Van Helden - I Want Your Soul (Fake Blood remix)


MP3:  Scanners - Bombs (Young Americans Terrible Fuss edit)

And it’s hard to pop on the internet, and read any blog without getting linked to a MySpace page. It’s inevitable, BUT! Facebook, is coming up. It’s already bigger than MySpace in Canada and worldwide it’s the 10th most utilized website. Myspace is number 6.

It seems as though MySpace is feeling Facebook breathing down their neck with all their cool features and sleekly designed site because MySpace is soon changing their (ugly ass) layout & it’s chock full of new stuff. Here’s a screen cap of what the new MySpace will look like:

And speaking of MySpace, did you see that Aesop Rock was their featured artist last week? Which is not unheard of for an indie rapper to make it up there, BUT now Aesop is MTV’s artist of the week?! Not that I’m complaining, but it’s just strange to me, like when your aunt tries to kiss you on the mouth. I was going to touch on the whole MTV VMA thing but there’s not enough hours in the work day.

Shit, since we’re talking about social networks, we know you guys are on them. ADD US!

It’s almost quitting time for me and as soon at the clock strikes 6 o’clock I will be on my way to see the Institubes‘ PARIS TERROR CLUB tear San Francisco in half! If you’re smart you will be in attendance.
