Back Like Influenza

Them shits ^ are from a church in Olomouc. I am from a whiskey still in Dallas. ANYWAY I just got back from an incredible trip to Zürich. I'd always though it was cool just because of the lack of garbage and huge numbers of immaculately dressed Swiss people walking in perfectly straight lines, but it turns out they have themselves a pretty fun city there. The nightlife is great, but costs about as much as open heart surgery. Mmmm so what do you want music?

D.H.S. - House Of God (Martin Landsky Remix)

Whoa what whoa. Easy there, song. I've listened to this so many times over the last week that I don't even have to put it on to hear it any more. So here's the scoop - in 1990, the House Of God 12" by DHS was released. In 2008 (holy shit that's the year I'm doing now!) the House Of God (The Poker Flat Mixes) 12" came out. I'd like to make a Long Bet that in 2026 the House Of God (We Are From The Future Of 2026 And Make Remixes Mixes) 12" gets released. So this shit is serious. I'm always looking for new ways to find music, and recently that inspired me to look to the Kompakt site for clues. What I found was quite good. If you go to the MP3 section, they have charts showing what's good over in Köln. I went through all of the songs that were charting about a week ago and realized that it's also a pretty good indicator of exactly what I should be listening to. That's what led me to this little gem of a remixxx. Anybody who spends more than 5 minutes a day with me has heard this already, and they're all chanting "I am excited! For the house of god."

Sam Taylor-Wood & Pet Shop Boys - I'm In Love With A German Film Star (Gui Boratto Mix)

So I'm pretty new to Pet Shop Boys. When I saw the video to "Inner City Pressure" a few weeks ago (from Flight Of The Conchords, another awesome thing that I slept on) I realized that "East End Girls" surely wasn't the Boys only good song. After all, they are the most successful pop duo in British history(!). I came across this one on the Kompakt charts as well. They got together with Sam Taylor-Wood and produced this number here. And since think he shits gold and sunshine, this is the Gui Boratto remix. Since it's the Pet Shop Boys, it's pop. Since it's Gui Boratto, it's atmospheric minimal. Yessss.

This song (and the whole BLVD ST blog) is massive. The beat to this and B.o.B's "Generation Lost" seem to be cut from the same cloth. I guess I need to find one more 'forst I can call it a trend though.

Does It Offend You, Yeah? - Epic Last Song (Lifelike Remix) EDIT: The fun-loving party boys at the RIAA have requested that I delete this. So I did.

Oh yeah, I just remembered that this is the best song ever. I say that a lot, but I guess there are just a lot of best songs ever. And this is one. It's not particularly new (I think I got this remix over the summer or a few months ago or something), but the charts on Last.fm reminded me that I love Does It Offend You, Yeah?. Especially this remix from the unsurprisingly French Lifelike. Go kiss on girls and listen to this and do what you do. My girlfriend actually informed me that this song is about breaking up. If that's your interpretation, then go stop kissing on girls and go break up with them and stuff. But then go dance really hard.

Treasure Fingers - Cross The Dancefloor

I could be Mr. Cool Neat and put up one of the countless remixes of this joint, but I think I'll just stick with what obviously works and give you the original. This song is so good I even listen to the acapella. Every time I hear the words "let me see you move it shake it cross the dancefloor" I immediately sashay over the nearest large flat surface. I got hit by a tram doing this on the street yesterday.

Here's the video for Busta Rhymes's's's's "Arab Money". Nobody has the ability to piss me off (autotune) while picking me up (also autotune) like Ron Browz. You best believe I've been listening to "Pop Champagne" so much that I talk like a robot now. Highlight of the video (in my humble opinion) - Arafat's ghost playing cards with Busta Rhymes.
