Here's the latest track from Juan Maclean, coming out shortly in their DJ Kicks release.

This is by far the best dance-track JM have come out with since their blow up "Happy House". Sounds kind of DFA/Murphy soaked, but that's never really a bad thing. After the disappointing release of The Future Will Come, it's nice to see the folks Maclean are going back to the sound that made them indispensable in the first place.

Unfortunately, you gotta email to listen to the track, but it's totally worth the time/effort.

Daniel Carousel Strikes Another Home Run

2010-03-23T20:03:00.000-07:00

There’s not really too many people you can just go up to and start talking with, i mean, fabulous conversations. Wait, I know a phew (cough, cough). There isn't even a soul in sight to help you flip steaks when you're banqueting on the weekends. I mean, lets face it--> this town's gone bonkers. You wanna talk about support? Especially for moral support, forget it. But there are a few expectancies that keep me occupied during my glory bound waking hours, it happens to be Youtube mention Daniel Carousel, some of you might already be familiar with young Daniel from my previous post about him in late February. However, having that be the case or not, is the least of my concerns. I'm simply here to inform you, he strikes again.

Many of the board members at my developmental agency have been asking where I come up with all my "great ideas", and I just ended up having to tell them, it's not about me, it's about them. Next thing I knew, people were buying my coffee's for me. Point being-->he keeps me up at night, like an episode of Bump in the Night. He's like a gerbil spinning in his own wheel of confusion...and not to mention several different identity crisis’. Which happens to be exactly what it takes, he's going places, and forgive me for speaking freely just once: bless his god damn heart!

This is a treat that goes straight to your heart, another stunning performance, this parking garage is home to many confessions--> by the residents that tower above.

A traveling expert speaks on various subjects. Just kidding, it's Daniel.

I wish I was fucking 12 again...or 14...or how fucking old are you again? I mean seriously, where's that fucking Jennie lamp at!? I'll rub it again, I'll rub tough and thorough. You wouldn't even need salt or pepper, or anything with that. Rotten world needs to get a life because this is our time and we're gonna choose to have fun with it.

Daniel dances to Madona's It's a Material World in the living room while his high disco parents prepare a well balanced dinner, a nightly occurrence at this residence.

The Government Wants You To Eat Burgers!

2010-03-21T22:40:00.000-07:00

Well we often wonder why Americans are so obese and hopeless.

Sad truth be told - most Americans are fat moo-cows (aka Heffers) waiting for that massive coronary mandated by the original Harry Potter (read: Jesus) to take you up to that MickyD's in Heaven.

Go to work, down 2L of Diet Coke b/c hey! its better for you than Coke!

Feel good about slamming a Double Whopper with Cheese down that grease and aspartame-soaked gullet of yours because you burned 2.35 calories spinning around on your office chair, and wash it all back when you get home with a 6-pack of Coors Light because it has less calories than any decent libation that can rightfully consider itself beer.

As it turns out, the American government is making your decision to not die at 45 increasingly economically unfeasible by massively subsidizing the shitty foods that kill you, and make you pay though your pocket for the things that don't kill you quite so fast. And as a side note, when was the last time the Federal Minimum Wage was raised, like 10 years ago?!

Breaking News = Germany!

2010-03-21T17:32:00.000-07:00

Who is this young man below me? O yes, the one that speaks freely on his values, and his violets, and what a shelter he has built for us all. An ironman at heart--> and into the night he goes, freewheeled, like 4x4's and shit. His name is Volker Speckhardt and he is an amazing soul with much love for cooking, and teaching. A very well rounded individual when it it comes to common term and common term strictly. "We jump high, and we live mighty, in front of backdrops elsewhere, we cheers each other with our precious elbows flared out to the side, about lip high, and we gaze into each others eyes..." says Speckhardt. This German is also recently engaged, which will indeed start a new chapter in his young heart.

let us wish Volker on his new found glory, his one and only, and his marry little whey

Every time I've second guessed this--> I just know I'm out of my life, and into my mind - to post and worship, to create cornerstones for their children and make happy time as a friendly neighbor - the kind that mows your grass with out permission.

I found sacks of rice nailed to the walls and cracker crumbs at the foot of his bed, he laid there frail, and drenched in his own sweat, like a president. Me and my team at the time helped bring life back into this young man. Volker happens to be our greatest success yet, and may his heart always be blessed for just that reason. Long live Jesus.

This guy is going to be huge. I mean REAL huge. "BTSTU" is the first single from the UK-based artist's Bait Ones EP, which is slated to be out in the near future.

"BTSTU" starts off with a quiet, almost quivering voice warning "Don't fuck with me, don't fuck with me" and quickly picks up into a FlyLo meets Hot Chip chiller.

HIGHLY, HIGHLY Recommended.

Egg Harbor's Got an Angel Named Edward!

2010-03-12T15:52:00.000-08:00

Meet Youtube member ofmay, known to many as Edward DiMaio and also as an angle on earth. Not to mention, the published Author of Sound Scent and Light. One of the few goals he has set for himself is to "bless every soul I meet". That's loads of blessing for you un-knowledgeable people out there in fairy tail land. Not wise Edward though, currently hailing form Egg Harbor, WI. Which is gotta be like living in a frying pan, right next to huge sink, or toilet, or whatever the fuck.

DiMaio is just an amazing human being, he enjoys leading drum circles and drumming stickleback, writing-reading-eating--> poetry (you guessed it uh?), this thing he refers to as...nature, and taking aerial photos of celebrities homes around Staten Island, NY.

What a nice quaint and graceful pattern we've stumbled right on top of, yeah, a fountain of youth i presume. A grand moment had been found smack-dabble dabble in the middle of Statsburg, NY for a once young Edward.

Into the archives and onto the theater kind sirs. Imagine what a wonderful time it must have been for everyone at the "camp". What a wonderful young man this town has brought upon us. Now we can remember it the way that we always wanted to--> not the way our out-house elders had painted it for us. Wonderful world + wonderful eyes = Cetaphil on the shelves. Lets take it back shall we:

We shouldn't let the exit hurt us, we should only let it care for us, and treat us, just as mumsy would back in the taverns.

The possibilities could not be less clear, be sometime looking through cracked glass can be just as fun.

Edwards finds some food for thought in his Wisconsin grounded ice box, piece of mind and reluctent clarity that leave me with the jitters.

Certainly last, and uncertainly not least, Poppy Cock! a moment of captivation at the head of the garden with the wise one.

Edward enjoys doing stonework and carpentry for his closet ruffled skins. He works locally as a Phyc Tech, or at least thats what he keeps telling his teddy bear collection.

If your wondering why Edward DiMaio didn't respond to you it because he couldn't hear you, he was listening to Cat Stevens. That's what he listens to.

Hipsters in the 'Burg Revolt! AGAINST THEMSELVES

2010-03-08T15:34:00.000-08:00

There's one thing that is evident from this hipster phenomena: In a movement that is seemingly driven on irony, there is literally NOTHING that anyone can do that is not ironic in trying to bring it down.

I mean, it started as an individualist movement which brings to mind a particularly insightful Silver Jews lyric: "When you are 15 you want to look poor/ Do onto others and run like a mother/ I don't want to be poor anymore".

FROM GOTHAMIST:

First the communists protested American Apparel in Manhattan, and now someone has gone and thrown rocks through the windows of the company's store on North 6th in Brooklyn. FreeWilliamsburg reports that flaming trash was also involved in last night's retail retaliation, and the attackers may currently be armed with blogs (according to employees at the store). A witness told them, "There were about 50 guys dressed all in black, wearing masks, and causing total mayhem all along North 6th St, dumping out trash dumpsters and setting everything on fire in the streets, and then smashing all the windows of the American Apparel."

Pantha du Prince Remixes by Fourtet and Walls

2010-03-08T11:37:00.000-08:00

Pantha du Prince's "Stick to My Side" is one of the focal points of his fantastic new album Black Noise, featuring vocals from seminal Animal Collective member, Noah Lennox.

This track is being given the remix treatment by a variety of folks for an upcoming single remix EP, out in the next few days.

Two of note are that of Four Tet, which is a bit of an ambient dancing take on the track while the Walls remix clearly seems to inject some decidedly more Animal Collective attributes to the song. Check em out below.

Fucking Eggs: Fucking Baskets!? This One is Crazy

2010-03-06T00:25:00.000-08:00

Meet Youtube member honoryourtruth, she is totally out of her mind. . Formally known as Debra Hadraba, an award winning knuckle dragger. Currently she appears to be an out-patient hoarder, and obviously strung-out on prescription drugs: from her constant jitters and heavy gesticulations, to her never ending battle with finding flaws in everyday metaphors. Her motive to shed personal light on interchangeable constellations is beyond me, it probably comes from the back of a milk carton, or a personals ad.

Here is a video where Debra speaks on putting eggs in baskets. She has a shit ton of extra baskets just lying around, you'll notice.

Holy shit, shes fucking crazy. When I say crazy, I mean: in the most amazing way possible. Actions speak louder than words.

Ok, now this is where I got freaked out, apparently she makes these videos too. These devilish little 2D suggestionaire's. The computer voice is absolutely ridiculous, not to mention the clothing - the scene - Debbie's sunglasses - and the whole dialog. Super creep city, please enjoy.

2010-03-04T18:26:00.000-08:00

So I'm down here in the GD desert again, only this time I'm eating sushi. For some reason, all textures I experienced were on a trail going toward Wimpawomica. I called it the hidden temple, and what a magical place it has become for me thus far. However, I've since moved--> now I'm "geo cashing" some where in north east Montanya. It's probably the most I've ever learned about the damn northern states. I mean fuck, sushi in the forest? Let's keep this going guys, amazing.

I'll have you know that all fish don't need to come from the forest just to be good, there are plenty of mannon fish that'll grow in the water. All i carry is my duffel, and full of rations it is, but there is just one problem--> My match lite got broken in the storm. I started living on dill flavored sunflower seeds. Not half bad, but on a lighter note--> here is a cute stop motion video curotsy of Stanman16. But don't expect any similar stop motion gems from his collection; rumor has it, hes just hosting the video...

Rally Aims to Make "Retard" New Dirty Word

2010-03-01T13:09:00.000-08:00

Yes, it is true. These "red-brick road" babies high school students think they can tell us what words not to use? I mean, I love it, but i also hate it. "Retard" is my go to word when i don't want to say "gay"--> about anything and everything. I've bolded some words that I feel are essential for flow. I thank you in advance for the compliments.

Anyways, here is the story:

It’s the slur raising a ruckus from the White House to Hollywood, and today friends of the intellectually disabled will stage a pledge drive at the State House to ban the word “retard” in Massachusetts.

Soldiers of the anti-R-word movement will be collecting signatures from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Great Hall from those who “pledge and support the elimination of the derogatory use of the R-word from everyday speech and promote the acceptance and inclusion of people with intellectual disabilities.”

On Wednesday, at least 200 students plan to hold an anti-R-word rally at Winthrop High School.

“When that word’s used, it’s a sign of ignorance. That’s the bottom line. We can change people’s way of thinking. I really believe that,” said Craig Smith of Brighton, founder of the equal rights group Massachusetts Advocates Standing Strong.

Smith, who was born brain-damaged, said, “I would love to see that word banned. Names hurt. As a society, we have a lot to learn. Sometimes we have to think before we speak. We don’t do that very well. We’re all guilty of that.”

And not just schoolyard bullies.

Earlier this month, conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh mocked liberal activists as “retards,” after White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel was forced to apologize to the Special Olympics for rebuking left-wing extremists as “(expletive) retarded” for threatening to alienate more conservative Democrats.

The Black Eyed Peas’ song “Let’s Get it Started” was originally “Let’s Get Retarded.” And in 2008, Ben Stiller’s comic blockbuster “Tropic Thunder” was picketed at movie theaters for its excessive mocking of the R-word.

“As you’ve seen over the past couple of months, it’s kind of flared up on the political level,” said David Greenwood, spokesman for Massachusetts Special Olympics. “Every time you hear it in a school setting or in a sentence that might have a swear word before it, it’s meant to be derogatory.”

Another gem from my hidden gem collection--> rolling in with a mere 310 views (at least 50 of those views are mine since last November). Daniel Carousel happens to be one my favorite Youtubers of the season. Face it, with your chest puffed out--> the kid has got potential. With just the right amount of free time and verbal abuse from peers at school, he could actually be driven to stardom, by default of course. From outbursts to unknown-funnybone weaponry, Daniel Carousel tends to make the best of it in typically less than 2 minutes. You could be inclined to waste n hour or two trying to understand it all.

I know this lumpy skeezer who loves to make a piping hawt Cheetos Casserole soaking in a hot tub of aged cheese's, packed with garlic, a tangy homemade alfredo sauce, walking-talking rubrics, a round up of bread crumbs, 1/4 avocado, and Trader Joes turkey meatballs. She makes it every night for her and her indecent husband Mark Wainscott. It's so easy to make she can read People magazine while she does it.

Lets face it, a phone call and a make-up date just doesn't cut it these dayz, you have to ring that doorbell with a casserole in your arms. There are loads of different colors to wash in your laundry basket, so why shouldn't your Cheetos Casseroll have some visual perceptual property of its own? So if you want any sort of reward for your efforts you may want to spice it up with some of your favorite items. I typically use jalapenos, tomatoes, shallots, spinach, bacon bits, cream cheese, and depending on the season--> maybe a gram cracker crust.

Its an American dish that stays true to its roots--> chips.

take a look at that slice

If yer in--> than heres some guidelines.

Ingredients:

2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
1 cup uncooked macaroni
2 1/4 cups milk
4 eggs
1/2 cup Bisquick
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon red pepper sauce
1/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
!/2 cup crushed Cheetos

Directions:

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Grease pie plate 10 x 1 1/2 inches. Mix 2 cups cheese and the macaroni. Sprinkle in plate. Beat remaining ingredients except 1/4 cup cheese until smooth, 15 seconds in blender on high or 1 minute with hand beater. Pour into plate. Bake until knife inserted in center comes out clean about 40 minutes. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup cheese and Cheetos. Bake until cheese is melted, 1 to 2 minutes. Cool on windowsill for 6 weeks.

How much food do you really have?

2010-02-23T18:21:00.000-08:00

Youtube member ironhead41 teaches a bug-out seminar in his garage, where he stores his emergency food source in 5 gallon drums. ironman41 explains how one 5 gallon drum of dry rice is "two 5 gallon drums, of, uhh, eatable food", but then he's quick to tell you that grits and cornmeal are "yer best" because they can "grow" up to 10x when cooked. At only 308 views I'd say this is another gem I've found in the tree house, it really is "amazing...just amaaaazingg". ironhead41 knows that his 81 5 gallon drums added up (in cooked weight) will equal out to about 6 tons. He almost forgets about his wife when he was calculating the 15 years it would take him to finish the food at 2 pounds a day, which is 3 pound less then his typical daily intake. Personally, I feel that 5 pounds a day is just plain spoiled. Now the shit only lasts 71/2 years with his bitch hanging around.

As he started to throw more and more "kickers", I started wondering if he was just another mathematician trying to trick me into some good old work. I wouldn't do it, I couldn't do it. Let me tell you something else---> you know he isn't gonna feed his son in law, we both know that, or their snot-nosed kid. He stinks, all I've seen this him do is try to swallow ping pong balls in a hideous camouflage sweatshirt.

After awhile, and with everything aside---> ironhead41 is an amazing Youtuber. He'll take you under his wing on your first"presidents day pig pickin" and then sit you down and show you how to make apple butter, the easy way! But I'd also recommend checking out the stereo ironhead41 found at a "indoor flea market" for only $90...it's got real nice fabric covering the speakers. It came with the guide and an extra factory needle. He has crates of mason jars filled with pickled food piled up on the floor and beer in buckets of snow. His home looks like a bar.

P.S. click on camouflage bedding to get it for cheap! Be like ironhead41, do it the right way.

Alright, now im not sure if i really need to say anything...but i will quote what some other people had to say about it on the Youtube comments page. I found these comments in a row underneath the video as it lie there on the Youtube screen, just like I found my hollow limbs lying on the floor of the Red Sea, thanks to The Twelve Tribes. Here is the video now, the comments can, and will be found below.

Comment block starts with the most recent activity;

....because if you find a skull, the FIRST people you want to contact is the local news......

I've got some old chicken bones from last night's dinner if you want them? It might be chicken or it might have been an alien from an interplanetary spacecraft! KXLY to the rescue - full report at 11.

Ghul:

That little girl dawm cute!

MMA:
It's a friggin dog's skull, and they want to sell it on Ebay for 1 million dollars? I don't think Ebay would allow it anyway, because of health issues.

Meet WAVE

2010-02-23T14:06:00.001-08:00

I'm sure this might come as old news to some design flock-tards but not the way it came as news to me. I had dreams man, like, I got lucid and shit...brah!! This interesting little boxcar has been seen racing through the backyards of some of Europe's most prestigious youths since its first test run at The Hotel Show in Dubai, June 2008. Designed by Erik Nyberg and Gustav Ström, this little trucker is known as WAVE and it's produced by Royal Botania. It kind of looks like a pish-posh baby crib for adults, and when i say adults--> I mean grown-up babies. I still like to think of it as a boxcar though, and if i close my eyes hard enough i can see WAVE sailing on The Great Lakes with a 3 man crew too. The frame happens to be electro-polished stainless steel cupcakes and the fabric is actually made up of weight resistant perforated nylon(s) veggie burgers. The veggie burgers anxiously block 86% of the suns rays with their top hats, so for spoiled adult babies--> this is perfect for your precious skin. Priced at $27,227.00 it's perfect for charging to that free $700,000,000.00 bank account your mother left you...from her 3rd marriage. But babies will be babies and boys will be toys, so why not spend a little money, and make some fucking noise!?

--> perfect for nursing homes, easy on the eyes.

I've really been chopping off the block here, saying all the things that matter in this life. But once a day I'll allow myself 30 minutes or so to go on an amazing journey through the tree house that is Youtube. I'll always pick up on the least viewed videos, they seem to be the most...unconventional. Never the less I'd like to introduce you to (what seems to be) Evon and her butter making magic. She really throws her whole body into it. I’m not sure if I'd constitute this as "churning" but it's definitely reminiscent of a traditional Amish lifestyle. I’m willing to bet that Evon makes all her babies that same way she makes butter, and i don't mean in jars. If you happen to know these people, please take care of them for me.

New Epic Broken Social Scene Song!

New Epic Broken Social Scene Song!

Oh man, this song is indeed epic. Head on over to Pitchfork to stream (and follow the link to download the first cut off of Forgiveness Rock Album.

At nearly 7 minutes long, you can tell the signature, over-the-top sonics of vieux Broken Social Scene has been scaled down, with them instead doing more with less.

Personally, I'm a bit scared that they are compromising what made them great in the first place. But, if the rest of the album is like this, I will be more than pleased.

For all of you following from the great Pacific NW, BSS will be headlining Sasquatch Music Festival over Memorial Day Weekend.

How to be a Scene Girl Without Being a Poser

2009-06-16T08:50:00.000-07:00

This is no joke. Do you want to be a scene girl... well Wikihow is going to tell you just how to do it. Dont forget to check out the tips section at the bottom of the page, these, of course, are some of the most important rules to follow in order to become a real scene girl! Lets just check out section 2- learning how to use scene lingo:

"Learn how to use scene lingo but don't actually use it until the end of your transformation. Two main words that you need to learn are HxC and SxE. HxC stands for hardcore. When you write it on MySpace/Bebo write it as hardxcore first time and then use HxC. SxE does not mean sexy, it means straight edge. That means that you don't drink, smoke, do drugs or have casual sex. Add letters onto the ends of words for example RAWRR and radd and kiddd. If another girl has really cool clothes then tell her they are 'so vogue' and say that a band is 'the sex'. Don't ever use this lingo to kids that aren't scene since they wouldn't know what: 'That guy is the sex, he is so hardxcore and raddd' means. When commenting peoples photo's add oxox or <333>

"Find something that you believe in like Animal Rights. Then become strongly committed to it for example: become a Vegan/Vegetarian. Make your views about it known widly, like wearing T-Shirts that say 'Make Love Not War'."
