So there is some new Yeah Yeah Yeahs circulating. I love this band so much, I think they’re so talented in so many respects.

Also thisssss song, I remember when the video came out in High School and it twas all the rage. I miss nightclubs playing YYYs and Interpol and indie actually. Wait are there clubs that still play just indie rock? Like in your town wherever it may be are there nights where indie is the goto music?… I swear there was a time where I could go out and hear CYHSY, YYYs, Interpolz, etc. But now it’s all blog house everywhre.

There are few bands i get gitty about. Xiu Xiu is one of them. I can’t describe how I feel about them, I love the music so much that I want to call them amazing musicians but I think that would be inaccurate. What they do is so much more than music, it’s like the next level of art and message and beauty all crammed into one package that I could interact with for the rest of my life.

I’m really really excited about their new record “Women as Lovers,” it comes out on Jan. 29th and I’m gonna buy it. You should BUY it too. I’m all about stealing music, but like I said this is way more than music i’m sure the packaging and liner notes will be incredible as is the video for the single “I Do What I Want, When I Want.”

OMG LOVE XIU XIU!

Sorry I haven’t posted on here as often as I was.

I’ve been setting up my new night: Trash And Diamonds , setting up my new night, setting up my new night, designing and developing 3 websites at the moment, looking for a new place, setting up my new night, and Djing of course.

We start Feb 28th at Social Hollywood, and it’s gonna be so rad. Words can’t explain. Ima Robot, Guns N Bombs, Me, Dan Oh, bonkers lighting, awesome staging, 2 rooms of dance music and lovin. Think London super club, gonna be miraculous.

Also last night Uffie came through to social, and we met on Tuesday so after she played social me Gina, Dan, Sarah, Jacob, Jennifer, Uffie, Jerry, Jerry’s girl, and Feadz all rolled to DJ Lethal’s pad in the Valley.

Lethal is a real nice, cool dude. Everybody had a well good time, lots of funny shit went down. Uffie’s got me wanting to go to Paris so bad, she describes it like it’s paradise.

Just sayin tho’

I just picked the whole New Order discography. I needed it. So I did. Also the new Besnard Lakes is reallly great, i’ve been jamming to that a lot today.

So maybe i’ll throw up some MP3′s for you all.

The Besnard Lakes – For Agent 13

New Order – Blue Monday

Trash and Diamonds

myths of the near future

The Klaxons “Myths of the Near Future” has been on repeat most of this week. It’s such a solid album it doesn’t matter what genre you lump them in; new rave, nu rave, post electronic new wave hipster shit. It sounds good and whenever I hear the intro to Atlantis to Interzone I lose my shit. The whole album makes we want to break stuff and swing glow sticks at the same time.

Anyways the boys did a cover of Justin Timberlake’s “My Love”

Go download below.

Klaxons – My Love (JT cover)

I made the January 2007 mixtape with the notion of playing all of my favorites from this year. It didn’t work out too well, and I ended up playing some new stuff i’ve found and some stuff i’ve been playing since I started DJing. Oh well it’s still gonna be fun to boogie too.

Be safe tonight. And “Right Click / Save as” to download:
DJ Skeet Skeet’s January 2007 Mixtape.

P.S. The software I use to record these things starts acting up during the klaxons track. Not a big deal, but sorrrrry.

People always ask me where I find half the shit I play.

It’s either:

A. Internet – I get a lot of gems from searching blogs and last.fm.
B. Swap Meets – I get a lot of good vinyl from swap meets, invest in a portable record player.
C. Word of Mouth – Below you’ll find an example.


Radam of Totally Radd!! fame

- Radam hears french song instantly thinks of Lucy. Sends her MP3 in email.

lucy
Lucy of LucyTheDinosaur Fame.

-Lucy picks me up to go to whole foods so she can make a banana pie.
-We start talking about bananas and graham cracker crust and she starts playing her ipod.
-About 30 seconds into this ukulele backed french song, I grab lucy and stop midsentence.

Then I find the video on Youtube. (of lipsynching “milk and cereal” song fame).

I post the video on my Blog.

And drop an Mp3 as well.
Mareva Galanter – Pourquoi pas moi
