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!

This weekend brings the third yearly installment of Vegoose. The epic lineup includes Daft Punk, Rage Against the Machine, Iggy & The Stooges, M.I.A., UNKLE, Thievery Corporation, Public Enemy, Cypress Hill, Ghostface Killah, Pharoahe Monch, Muse, The Shins and a grip more.

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)!

Here’s some related tunes, including collaborations and remix work by Justice, SebastiAn, Slam, Soulwax and DJ Barletta:


MP3: Daft Punk - Human After All (Guy-Man After All, Justice Mix) (2006)


MP3: Daft Punk - Harder Better Faster Stronger (DJ Barletta Remix) (2007)


MP3: Rage Against the Machine - Killing in the Name Of (SebastiAn’s Late Night Laptop Remix) (2007)


MP3: Slam Versus UNKLE - Narco Tourist (UNKLE Mix) (2001)


MP3: Muse - Muscle Museum (Soulwax Remix) (2000)


MP3: Public Enemy - Don’t Believe the Hype (1988)


MP3: Thievery Corporation - The State of the Union (2002)

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.)

Party on, and a preemptive “Happy Halloween”.

My vote for best American festival goes to Goldenvoice’s consistently good Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival going on this weekend. Missingtoof will be dancing in the desert for three days! If you’re headed there too, I’m sure you’re equally excited about what you’re going to be able to see and stressed out about all the stuff you’re undoubtedly going to have to miss… Talk about tough decisions! Here’s the breakdown of what’s happening in Indio, California this weekend:

The lineup is overwhelming (maybe the scheduler can help?)! Björk/Soulwax/Ed Banger/Etcetera/Etcetera/Amazing/Amazing—all that aside, the singularly most hyped act this year has been the planned reunion of Rage Against the Machine, after a 7 year break-up. Last time I caught these guys play it was riot, like, literally! They did a free protest show (supported by Ozomatli with Cut Chemist still intact) against the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in downtown Los Angeles during the 2000 Election campaign. The concert was staged right outside the convention in an enclosed ‘protest area’ and that scene ended in a small-scale riot with cops on armored horses and rubber bullets and the whole fun bit! Let’s see if we can outdo ourselves this time!


MP3:  Inside Out - Redemption (Zach de la Rocha pre-RATM) (1990)


MP3:  Rage Against The Machine - Killing in the Name (1992)


MP3:  Rage Against the Machine - Know Your Enemy (Live @ Coachella 1999 with Maynard of Tool) (1999)


MP3:  Zack de la Rocha and DJ Shadow - March of Death (2003)

If you prefer your RATM mashed-up and glitch’d-down, try and find this bastardized collection of MP3s titled enRAGEd. Maybe someone over that this originating site will bring it back to life someday if we pester them! I’ve heard a few tracks and they’re very IDM-ish.
