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:

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”.



UNKLE - War Stories

unkle UNKLE - War Stories

UNKLE is a group that needs no introduction, but I shall try to introduce them any how. A British musical outfit founded in 1994 by James Lavelle and Tim Goldsworthy. Their line up once included super producer DJ Shadow. UNKLE’s 1998 critically acclaimed ‘Psyence Fiction’ featured a plethora of gust artists, like Richard Ashcroft, Thom Yorke, Badly Drawn Boy & Kool G Rap. The group has remixed everyone from Beck and Blur to The Verve.

‘War Stories’ is the groups first full length release since their 2004 ‘Never, Never, Land’ which employed Pulp’s Jarvis Crocker on one of the tracks. This release guest vocalists include Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age), Ian Ashbury (The Cult), 3D (Massive Attack), The Duke Spirit, Autolux and Gavin Clark (Clayhill).
