Smackin Bitches!

I surprisingly haven’t heard too many remixes of this song cuz it’s definitely a classic, but anyone that was thinking about doing one might as well give up because this one is a solid banger and stays true to the original while doing it’s own thing at the same time, which to me is what makes a good remix. Definitely a must have.

Bart Bmore and Harvard Bass are both killing it right now so obviously if they were to work together it would be fire right? Exactly. Feast your ears on this banger, definitely a quality collaboration and hopefully won’t be the last time these guy work together

Greeteengs to youuuuu!

Eet ees zee time off tideengs off which I am breenging monthly, zee tideengs zat breeng een zee rush off zee neu wave! Hopefully U know now off wheech I speak, for eet ees most assuredly hour favoreet meednight deesko exposé.

However, I unfortunately haff to be zee beholder off some bad nyoos zeese time, as my partner een zeese endeavois, zee one Adonis Jackson, will bee indisposedible zeese time around; He ees busy making veiny-glorious art sculptings for extravagant PPL who actually live as laveeshly as I do preetend to sound een my head (well u know, at least when I ham typing zeese intervites for you).

BUT EET EES NO MATTER, for I haff recruited one off mein dearest compatriotes from hour shruglife collecteeve een his stead, none other zan zee one DJ ARQ heemself! Also a masterful selector and bon vivant, hour combined presence will guarantee towards you a carousal off proportions unbeknownst!

SO COME! and may zee strong leequids off K&M combine weese stronger flames off passion to fuel an evening off wheech your dreams can only aspire to be!

The eeneemitable Gary Numan looking rather hard-boiled een these video, no? But of course, eenstead off a classique film noir backdrop, wee haff zee tried and true laser grid, not to mention some of zee chunkiest keytars i haff ever seen!

but off course, not everything ees italo disco and puppy dog tails. We haff been known to get darker and darker wees each passing party, so do not be surprised iff we start lashing out at zee sunbeams

Till tomorrow!

Hay hay!  Some of the other Shruggers (K!O x Minitonka x Scallywag) are starting a new Tuesday monthly at Legion.  Though we’re somewhat competing with some of our own familia (RAAAAAAAANDO w/ 8 A’s…DJ Fulltimefun x ARQ), it’s only once a month.  Plus we’ll have live bands and whatnot, in addition to zee good ol’ dance music.  And who says you can’t hit both parties???!!  This “good” weather should be enough of a motivator, party people <3

Ahh zee Beeg Apple…zee theekness of zee summer aire ees so demanding, eet ees as eef hour bodies geeve us no choice but to submit to nightlife, no?

But of course because you are now already knowing: zee steeky weends and nightly moistures are off no regard when Adonis Jackson and Scallywag are playing zee records we hold so dear. And wees theese two at zee helm, eet ees for certain that we haff boarded a cruiseship off zee mind, one zat ees forever steeped een luxury. Barbados…St. Tropez…. every song a voyage, every note like drops off champagne een zee sunset.

And so we must go, enlivened by zee radiance off solsteece, so zat zee long light can pour out from hour hearts and onto zee dancefloor, eellumeenating our movements for all to see…

Scallywag’s Top Ten Albums Q2 2010

24/06/2010

trickle

See that Q2 up there? Makes it look like I got some sorta system involved with these lists huh now. A quarterly system even – just like all them multi-nationals and universities and what have you. Yep, preeettty fancy.

Anyhow, don’t think I ever Q1′d it tho. In fact, I made this list like a month ago, and this post has just been sitting there in the drafts even though I thought I posted it. Actually have heard about another solid 10er in the past month alone, which is kinda nuts given that this one spans about 6, so get ready for Q3 soon! or maybe like Q2.5…or the lost Q….type Q negative… anyhow…

10.The Village Orchestra – I Can Hear the Sirens Singing Again
9.Loscil – Endless Falls
8.Alex Smoke – Lux
7.James Pants – Seven Seals
6.Ratatat – LP4
5.Flying Lotus – Cosmogramma
4.Tigersushi presents More GDM X
3.Ablehearts- Flood
2.Caribou – Swim
1.Javelin – No Mas

so yeah, couple obvious ones, but check out Village Orchestra or Loscil if you like ambient stuff, Alex Smoke if you like heady techno, James Pants of the Tigersushi comp if you like post-punk/lo-fi/weird stuff/the occult, Ablehearts for some damaged beauty, and check out the Javelin album just cuz….it’s got a lot of good jams.

Hey, here you go…some toobs to facilitate the process.

Until next time…

which should be really soon cause I have to do another post now, that’s why I’m here actually ::cough::…..

so yeah…see you in a post  (that post…. ^^ the one up there ^^ …..that’s where i’ll be, y’know, just……waiting)

The first Original release from Shruglife’s own Mr. NiceGuy.  Finally got to play it out at Rando last night and it killed.  It’s always a great feeling when something you work on for so long is received so well, I think Screamin Jay would be proud.  Get it! and as always, Enjoy.
