ew gross. here’s a fun little food fetish video for Dmitry Fyodorov’s single Simcoe. (produced by SektorFilm.) download the video edit track and a bunch of other dirty dirty disco mp3’s at The Fast Life here (aka The World’s First Blog Since 1927). UPDATE* you can stream the whole Shapeless album here and it’s fucking great.
as previously mentioned, The Sounds are in town, and there is an after party tonight for my birthday at La Cita with a DJ set from the band, as well as DJ Jeremy Dawson of Shiny Toy Guns. no one involved actually knows that it’s for my birthday, but they’re happy to do it just the same.
it’s free with RSVP here, and it’s a block away from the Pershing Square red line stop so all you foolios won’t have to drink and drive like i know you love to. i’ll see you there.
love him or, well, be kind of indifferent to him, electro maestro Moby is bringing his skinny little white ass to L.A. with a show at the Wiltern tonight. he’s touring on his newish album, called Wait For Me, which you can get via his website here.
and, irrelevant of the music, this video for Ooh Yeah from the Last Night album is fucking amazing…
Moby ‘Ooh Yeah’

the Playhouse (6506 Hollywood Blvd, 90028) looks über-douche every time i go by it, but on a Monday night you just aren’t going to be able to beat a world-class DJ set by Deep Dish maestro Sharam. looks like up and comer and TINT fav Kid Cudi is going to be there tonight, too, and even though the whole spaghetti western motif is a little weird for electro, it’s looking like tomorrow is going to be another coffee/methamphetamine morning for good ‘ol jesus satan, pards… no word on price, but you probably should have RSVP’d already.

Far East Movement is whatev, kind of like a lame version of LMFAO, but this flyer is absolutely fucking sick and Control at Avalon is usually fun and a good place to score drugs, plus there is a fashion show and you just know how much jesus satan loves fashion. so if you’ve got nothing else going on (likely), head on down.
This Time (I’m Gonna Try It My Way) from DJ Shadow on Vimeo.
NOW THIS IS INDIE, ladies and germs, even if he was signed to a major. DJ Shadow has gone cuh-ray-zay and is slashing, slashing, SLASHING prices! buy now! everything must go! (not really, digital files can’t sell out.)
Shadow has updated his site to offer his complete history of singles, soundtracks, albums and remixes, downloadable direct from his own music store, and all at fairly bargain basement prices… for the collectors out there, he’s also offering a variety of goodies, including limited edition vinyl pressings.
what’s the big deal, you may ask? besides Shadow being utterly indispensable to any serious afficionado’s music collection (NO ONE’s music library should be without Endtroducing…) as well as to underground hip-hop in general, Shadow is taking what Radiohead began and is bringing it into the now, claiming himself as the first major label artist to offer direct sales, cutting out the middle man. in other words, no iTunes and no major labels milking their cut from his teet. i’m thinking that this info might pass gently into the night for some of you, but what it means to me is that the artists are learning to take control. more info directly from Shadow himself after the jump:
Daedelus – A Mashnote
tonight at the Echoplex a whole grip of excellent DJs celebrate the imminent birth of the Friends of Friends record label (which sounds vaguely sexual to me for some reason). Daedelus, Peanut Butter Wolf (doing an audio/visual set… what a nerd!), Jogger and Mexicans with Guns (like there are any Mexicans withOUT guns…) perform live, and there are also other DJs in between, plus Puma is giving away stuff (free shoes!?). looks like fun, and unless you already have tickets for Amanda Palmer or you’re going to La Cita for Dance Right, there ain’t much else to do tonight. it’s eighteen and over, too, so there will be plenty of young uns to buy alcohol for. if you’re into that sort of thing. which i am.
check out this fairly long but awesome video about a disc jockey stunt that effectively (or so they thought) ended disco’s reign in popular culture thirty years ago. i love all the seventies-ness, and it’s funny to briefly see a young Gene Siskel a little past the six minute mark, especially since his favorite movie just happened to be Saturday Night Fever. if anything, it might get you a little more excited for Electric Daisy Carnival this weekend to see a bunch of jocko homos burning dance records and acting like coked up idiots.
there’s a short article here at the Guardian’s website that discusses the incredible amount of influence that disco has continued to have on music and society in general, but everyone reading this site probably already knows that the rumors of disco’s demise may have been greatly exaggerated.
been waiting for an excuse to post this video forever. only in music video land do nerdy as fcuk guys get to make out with hot as fcuk girls. LMFAO bring the polka dot bikini gurllls to the House of Blues Sunset tonight.
