Deadmau5
MP3: Deadmau5 - The Reward is Cheese (featuring Jelo)
This is me trying to be open-minded and pulling it off. I dunno if this is techno, trance, house, or what. And about 2 minutes into the track, it kinda doesn't matter. Pronounced "Deadmouse."

Stereolab
MP3: Stereolab - Need to Be (2004)
If you ever read any reviews of David Mamet's Winslow Boy, you likely encountered some comment about how this G-rated movie was a departure from Mamet's usual foul-mouthed fare. The reviewer wasn't writing this fyi, but to show you that he gets Mamet because he saw "Glengarry Glen Ross" on Broadway (and secretly hated it). And you end up reading the same review over and over.
Same thing with Stereolab. In almost any review of their recent albums, pick any of the last three, there is some disparaging and totally unoriginal horseshit comment about how Stereolab lost it's freshness and is now regurgitating dry iterations of old content. Because that reviewer gets Stereolab. He was there when Emperor Tomato Ketchup came out and has one of those (actually very cool) Cliff t-shirts. Truth is that reviewer needs to stop reading The Secret, set aside his lazy entitlement, and learn how to listen to music.
For example, this song is one of the few songs ever written in the history of the world ever by any artist that approaches the vicinity of perfection. Spontaneous, exciting, unpredictable, and full of unanticipated turns. Bracket your phenomenal ear, set it aside, and approach this track with eager and unassuming curiosity.
We have to wait until August for their new album, Chemical Chords. In the meantime you can get a track from said album on iTunes.

Free Blood
MP3: Free Blood - Grumpy (2008)
Lots of new stuff to post. Last year was lousy music-wise, then it started getting good again. Obviously this was a musician problem and had nothing to do with me.
Free Blood, I think, has some connection to !!!. And an album coming out. Hard to find info on them. Myspace. Fun beatz here.
