Well, the pictures finally turned up. This last weekend at my local gig (Landlord Jim’s, San Diego - HOLLA!) a double decker busload of Santa’s and questionably dressed Elves rolled in. Needles to say they got turned out! Please take notice of; the hands in the air (like they just don’t care), naughty attire, and of course - a copy of Kurtis Blow’s “Christmas Rappin” 12″ on display in the DJ booth. Special Shout out to The Fed for tracking down the pics and adding some nice arrows to highlight.
The rest of the shots can be found on Flickr - “Bad Santa Bus 2006 San Diego Brotherhood”. I don’t know these people so please don’t go hitting them up with evil comments. In honor the post, I suppose a Christmas song is in order. Enjoy…
On Fridays I’m going to start posting something different or special. Since my original intention for this site was to be a bit of a self promotional project as well as a podcast, it seems only fitting to dedicate a day to trying somethin gnew. As time progresses I hope to be posting up short mixes as well - but for now i’m offering up some recent remixes/re-edits I’ve been toying around with. Mostly, I just do this stuff for fun and it never actually sees the light of day. I’ve recently purchased Serato though, so I have a feeling this may be changing. It’s time to start giving up the good.
First, Strobelite Sheila. I’ve had this song in my head every day since I started working on this one a week ago. I hope karmically this will release me. It’s a blend of Ready For The World and a chopped version of Black Sheep’s Strobelite Honey with some extra stuff thrown in. I’ve been playing this one way too much.
Next is the very club friendly sounding mix of Run DMC’s My Adidas over the Vans beat (a guilty pleasure track). I didn’t really spend too much time on this one, I just really though the concept was funny. Also, I didn’t have the instrumental of the Vans cut at the time, so I wound up chopping and filtering the song then programming the drums from scratch. Regardless, it bumps!
I do plan on eventually trying these out at my local residency, so if you happen to be in San Diego, swing through Landlord Jim’s and keep your ears peeled.
