I’ve got a feeling, it’s automatic…
Gregg Gillis ain’t the only one out there making mash-up jams, combining rap accapellas with inventive and obscure backing tracks. I caught Autorock’s set at the Rock and Roll Hotel over the weekend and went from pleasantly surprised to head-nodding to bum-rushing the dance floor in under a minute. I’ve heard a lot of so-called [...]
THE WEEKLY EVERYTHING ed.02 :: Summer sunday
Getting this column up every week on Friday is proving to be a bit more difficult than I initially anticipated. So, I’ve made the executive decision post The Weekly Everything as more of a surprise. It will still be posted weekly, but the day will be chosen at random. I think people underestimate the time [...]
waxing nostalgic, Part II
I hope you folks enjoyed Part I of my little trip down musical memory lane yesterday. Today I’ll finish it off with Part II and a few more selections from my past.
The Jesus and Mary Chain – Head On (256 kbps)
Growing up on the beach and having a surfer dad, I eventually had a surf-rock [...]
waxing nostalgic, Part I
We blog about electro a lot around CreamTeam it seems, but we never aimed to be another Fluokids spin-off.

I blame it on the sunshine and [...]

Last Saturday, my friend and I had plans to see “The Crookers” (that’s how they were announced to the crowd). Pre-gaming in L.E.S., we met two beauties, who like Crookers, were from Italia. Using this as a springboard, we got them to come along. They kind of stood around and stared once we [...]

Got My Drink and My 2-step
Wikipedia tells me there are hundreds of new samples to reminisce about, what I can tell you is that Feed The Animals, the newest album from Girl Talk is inspired and fresh, but a bit of the same ole’-same ole’. I appreciate his ability to avoid mash-up cliches that irritate me – namely sped up [...]
Talk dirty to me, dutchmen

First off, I apologize. We will not have an edition of The Weekly Everything this week. Sadly, my day job is not “blogger extraordinaire” and it’s been a particularly busy week in real-job-land. The Weekly Everything shall be back next Friday with twice as much content—as soon as I [...]
