WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT THE TRACKBALL???

Keep in mind that this is the man that recorded Ass-n-Titties.

DÂM-FUNK REMIXES ANIMAL COLLECTIVE, FADER SHITS...
Sometimes I feel like Animal Collective is the golf of our generation. At least in Austin, they are something that you can talk about with literally anybody . Awkward silence in the elevator? So….that new Animal Collective CD is coming out. Word? Word. Yeah, that should be good. I saw them once–so high.
I talk about Animal Collective my fair share, but it is mostly things internet...
WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO
Jesus, PBS, Vice TV is kicking your ass. Check out this interview (3 parts) with Curtis Roads, an experimental music composer who basically sums up everything that is fucking rad about electronic sounds. Hint: it is not Autotune the news.

An mlr Clone Running on a Monome Clone from basementhum on Vimeo.
Sexface and I are each building one of these things. They’re called arduinomes (clones of the impressively-designed and very teutonic Monome This is just a demo of one of the many things the arduinome can do. We don’t even completely understand what it can do. But we’re getting there. Look out, the game. We are...
IT'S ABOUT LITERACY, YOU KNOW?
Sometimes I wonder if this is what people see when they see Gay Science.
SHYNE, THO
I am pretty sure that there is some ass shaking in this video that is so intense it is blurred-out. Peep also: barrington levy’s completely indiscriminate use of the “diddily-waddily-whoa” thing that he does. How do you get to do this without getting laughed at? Was this the first mainstream rap video to feature Jamaican badassery ie, groups of thugs with dreads muggin for...
ULTIMATE LADY: BETTYE LAVETTE
Holy fucking shit Bettye Lavette is so amazing. Check out the cold as ice rendition of this song that always makes me want to commit some act of impassioned crime.
Also, peep this quote from Bettye about her original recording of this jam:
“When I was recording the vocal, the guy I was thinking about came into the control room, so I was singing the song to him. When we finished...

WHY I AM SO WISE: HARDCORE (SORT OF) EDITION
So I am establishing a new feature here on tumblr that I have spontaneously decided (right now) to call “WHY I AM SO WISE.” The goal is to present to you, readers (mike agresta), musics that Thuggie and I think were key to our present greatness. The secondary goal here is to not bullshit yall. Sometimes not being full of shit is a full time job. In this spirit, I pledge to you to...
TEXAS, THIS IS VERY SERIOUS
Who does Gov. Rick Perry’s hair?
No, but seriously folks, the video’s kind of funny but there are true gems to be found in the youtube comments thread. I don’t trust you to follow the link and read it yourself, so here are a few of the spirited exchanges: (CHECK IT, I DID NOT MAKE ANY OF THIS UP)

DO YOU LIKE DRUGS AND GINUWINE?
Here it is, folks. By popular demand (thuggie’s demand) I am officially releasing into the wild my remix of So Anxious by Ginuwine. I would suggest taking a lot of codeine and then freaking your boo, because that is basically how this remix came about.

MEXICAN TRIBAL HOUSE
Go to the MadDecent blog and get this Tribal Guarachero Podcast. Its like Mexican Guido music? Who knows. It goes thump and uses some pretty insane animal noises. Real? Sampled? Fuck, I don’t know, Mexico is pretty zany.

NEVER MIND, TEH INTERNET IS WAY AHEAD OF ME ON...
See previous post.
Autotune the News, you are the new Andy Samberg in my galaxy of fake rap that ends up being way better than current top forty rap.
Love,
Thuggie
YOU'VE GONE TOO FAR THIS TIME, AUTOTUNE
Or have you?
It seems like autotune is the instant way to get people to pay attention to your shit. Sarah Palin, you might want to add this to your arsenal of dastardly tricks for 2012. By which I mean, please don’t do that because you will macerate my brain in a “what the fuck” bath, as you always do.
Love,
Thuggie

Have you always wanted to learn Elephant Man’s signature dance moves, such as Fan Dem Off, Elbow Dem, Mad So, and Signal Di Plane? Well, now you can. No more excuses for not dancing at our shows, dudes. I’m giving you a week and a day to study up.

WHAT'S THAT? YOU WERE LOOKING FOR A MIX OF...
You are in luck. DL this mix right here and bump it in your badly-tricked out caprice. Shouts to B.cause, who is also responsible for the disco redemption of that awful Kanye track Love Lockdown.
Tracklist:
1) Intro
2) Dubee - My Thang
3) Delinquents - Deep
4) Lil Bruce feat. G-Note & Levitti - Keep A Tre’ 8
5) P.O.D.E. feat Cougnut & Baldhead Rick - Product Of D...
THIS IS WHY I AM GOING TO SEND A FRUIT BASKET TO...
I think the two of them were personally responsible for all of the awesome synth sounds that Prince wasn’t explicitly responsible, but I could be wrong.
Also, the S.O.S. Band has the group uniform on lockdown. Yellow do-rag with a hole in the side for the side ponytail to poke out from? Obviously yes.
AH, YES, THANKS FOR EXPLAINING THAT, YOUTUBE

GOD I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS FOR A LONG TIME
This, friends, is by far the worst music and music video I have ever seen in my life. I think I saw it after a night of heavy carousing and was unable to recall the next morning what had happened to my brain. It was this.
NO MORE DJS
I have this dream that we can just have moratoriums on things. Like, “No more DJs for the next 5 years, just stop.” Someone goes to the office to get their DJ license and the fat lady behind the counter with the press-on nails says, Sorry hon, but you just missed it. Why don’t you start a social networking site? Or get some self-respect?
KANGZ, MOMMY
Just in time to soundtrack all of your new springtime friendships, Gay Science is poppin off a new jam suitable for activities such as cruising in the whip, loudly enjoying what life has to offer, and bourbon. These are activities enjoyed and endorsed by Gay Science, so you can’t go wrong here, friends.
LISTEN TO IT NOW
Love,
Biz Caj
P.S. Michael and Saman, this one’s for yall....
