So right off the bat i’ll let you know that 90% of your favorite artists play to a big time backing track. I mean they’re basically lip synching. Whatever it ain’t no thang most of your hipster flash in the pans haven’t been touring for 4 years and don’t have time to fuck up.

Appreciate them for their production not their live show.

anyways JFK from MSTRKRFT weighs in on the “live” show many house acts now have (no doubt referencing justice and daft punk).

————————————————–

someone wrote to me last night on myspace, saying we should play live and wear the masks etc. instead of DJing.

it got me thinking about what is passiing for live now. as you all know, i spent about 12 years playing 100% live for people around the world. thats how ALP and i met.. playing drums in diff bands that played together. i know what playing live really is. i know what it feels like and what it looks like… and i know that other than some of the techno artists, no one in this genre is playing live. sequenced ableton performances arent live. midi secuences arent live.

i actually find it insulting to hear people speak about thier faux live performances with me. anyone who saw DFA79 or femme fatale play knows how real a live performance can be. no hiding behind props or lights. not a fake moment or unnecessary item on the stage. no matter how hard i tried, it would never be the same every time. impossible. in true live music, there are just so many variables… every day is a new experience. calling these pre-arranged performances LIVE is like calling a DVD movie ‘theatre’. know what im saying?

what gets me is that it seems like kids are actually buyin this fake shit. what punk rock still lives in me wouldnt let me look in the mirror if all i was doing was playing with filters behind a lightshow. if youve seen us DJ a few times, you know its always different. some nights we are off and some are incredible… thats cause its real. i dont feel right being anything but honest with the audience. maybe thats why i dont have that ashlee simpson money. even though we DJ, al and i have too much respect for live performance to ever call anything we could do as mstrkrft ‘live’. the most live act in this genre is just working with midi sequences… so no one is actually PLAYING anything. theyre just turning knobs. fuck that.

so, lets not call that shit live anymore. call it A SHOW. cause thats what it is. call it A PERFORMANCE…. but please, dont refer to that as a live show. its not. the reason al and i havnt devised any live setup is because it would never really be truly live. im not sure if anyone even cares about honesty anymore, but i do and thats why youll never see that bullshit from me.

Your thoughts? What defines a “live” show anymore? I’m starting an emo band, just so I can play live again. Me and greg from acid girls just talked about it I swear.

SO-ME is officially the best artist on Ed Banger records. This song was kind of tired to me until I saw this video, dude is killing it beyond words. He “Directed” the video which I assume means collecting all the old logos, drawing his own adaptations, importing to illustrator and getting some amazing after effects/maya people on board to knock this thing out.

ALL HAIL SO-ME.

OH SHIT. RonBrasnake just droppped knowledge check this video

Definitely has similarities.

Rumor has it this video is fan made. That would be insane cuz this video is all kinds of awesome. I’m willing to bet it’s the same guy who did the Mehdi video for Signatune.

My fucking hosting decided to incorrectly suspend my account.

WTF Mate?

Justice on the Kimmel show was the weirdest thing ever. After the Justice show last night though me, katy perry, gaspard, am, mia, the sounds, and the homies went to cinespace then bounced to the Young Americans’ Hush Hush house and partied till like 4am.

Dan Rumble played house anthems til 3:30 easy. Fun stuff.

Pics will prob be on cobrasnake n shizzzz.

While you were watching the VMAs, at Justice, at LAX, or still at fashion week…

this old lady gave this old dude a blow job.

the dude on the left jacked off.

this girl gave homeboy a handjob

these two had really hott sex that i think actually involved penetration.

This is the most depressing television show i have ever seen. But, the amount of dick definetely distracts you from its wrist slitting plotlines. Thank god for Chloe Sevigny who bravely paved the way for these ladies!

Thank god we Tivoed this.

I constantly discuss the fact that everyone in LA and their Ipod is a DJ these days. While I am known for my impeccable music taste, I have held strong. I am the only person I know in LA, who is not a DJ.

I am in Portland Oregon for the week. I know a bunch of people up here from my formative days, being growing up in Boston. None of these people have even sort of good music taste.

My friend Brooke has a Barbeque Sunday. We get beer and make food. We are good to go until I realize there is no music. So I decide to DJ. Not just DJ, I decide to DJ entirely off of Myspace. It worked for the first hour or so. As more and more people showed up that I had not seen since the 1990s, it got a little more difficult. Conversations about the past decade of our lives outlasted L’Trimm. I eventually had to bail on the whole endeavor and use a playlist. Plus the 20 Windows open on my laptop sort of started to freeze. I gave the whole thing a really good try.

So you want to be a Myspace DJ?

Here is my mixtape (aka the windows I had open.)

1.Spankrock “Bump”
2.Salt n Pepa “None of your Business”
3.Outhere Brothers “Boom Boom Boom”
4. Lil Mama “Whatever that Avril Remix is called”
5.Plastic Little “Drizhollering”
6.Sweatheart “Fingerbanging”
7.Ghost town DJs “My Boo
8. Lil Mama “Whatever that Umberella Remix is called”
9.Sweatheart “Dream Beaver”
10. Diplo “So so Krispy”
11. Justice “DANCE remix
12. Plastic Little “Get Close”
13. Salt N Pepa “Push It”
14. Justice “We are your friends”
15. Lil Bow Wow “Basketball”
16.L’Trimm “Cars that go Boom”
(That’s all I can remember. My computer froze at some point.)

Some girl asked if I could play the “regular song about the umbrellas.”

When Justice’s D.A.N.C.E. remix came on, one Barbeque attendee did impressively ask, “Whose Justice remix is this?”

I shrugged, “Um, Justices.”

While you were watching Top Chef…

omfg. sometimes la doesnt suck. fame remix, what? omfg

A quality remix makes any day better.

But after a crazy week that included a show at the Roxy with Shwayze the same night I had to Headline @ Whiteout. I needed some good tunes in my life. Well Van She came to the rescue and dropped this Remix of Feist’s “1234″.

Feist – 1234
Feist – 1234 (Van She Remix)

Now that a higher quality version of MSTRKRFT’s D.A.N.C.E. remix has leaked I think it’s okay to throw up the 320 version for all you DJs and high quality mp3 freaks.

Justice – D.A.N.C.E. (MSTRKRFT REMIX)

The new Justice leaked. But i’m down for this movement:

This isn’t the finished version. Just a preview

Yes.

I can never get enough Justice. Making rock n roll through computer bleep-bloops makes me so happy.

Last Night was well fun. Holly’s was popping off, the turntables are in the middle of the dancefloor area and some random Asian lady who was probably around 30 kept groping me as I was mixing. I wish it was louder in there, but people still had a great time. Devin played the Hip Hop hits and the ladies loved it.

Then Aaron’s bday bash at the warehouse, it was great a lot good friends were there. Saw some faces I havent seen in a while.

Lucy, Cory, Morgan, Ruby Aldrige and Ruby from San Francisco.

Everybody was great and the place looked amazing.

Also this video is a good example of why I need some heat back in my LA life. It’s too fuckin cold right now.

New Justice – “Phantom”

This is a mix rip. Not the best quality but great nonetheless.
