noel, this is completely unacceptable:
“It’s with some sadness and great relief to tell you that I quit Oasis tonight. People will write and say what they like, but I simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer. Apologies to all the people who bought tickets for the shows in Paris, Konstanz and Milan.”
noel, we know our kid can be a fookin’ wanker. we know. but, for real, ya fookin’ geezer, DO NOT BLOW IT!
it’s 1969, fuckers! did b3sci fake the moon landing? we’ll never tell! but what we will tell is that we were so busy partying with osterberg yesterday. (homeboy can party!) that today we’re straight sunday throwbackin’ it! yeah!
this song = pizza party. the LP is due in September. and yes, Memory Cassette plus Weird Tapes is unnecessary.. i mean Memory Tapes. riffage at the end slays. time to get your new order on

Brandy – “Top of the World” (Feat. Ma$e) (Boogiesoul Remix)”
awwwwww yeah. “top of the world” was the 2nd single released from brandy’s 1998 “never say never” record despite ending up a big hit in europe, particularly the UK, hitting #2 there, “top of the world” was far less successful in the united states than its “never say never” predecessor the massive “the boy is mine”.
we think the darkchild-produced original mix is awesome but this boogiesoul remix puts “top of the world” on some serious late summer jam status. that said, if we were 1998 kickin’ it in the studio with mr boogiesoul we’d maybe have turned down the strings a bit in the song’s middle minute or so. but otherwise this remix just really goes. and oh yeah, harlem world on top of the world!

when the last time you heard a mash-up this ill? putting malice and pusha up on one of the realest backbeats in music history (mark morrison’s “return of the mack”) = genius. so…. we’re just gonna pretend the first couple singles we’ve heard off clipse’s upcoming “til the casket drops” never happened and bang this shit like every weekend really is like mardi gras.
a new supergrass side project produced by nigel godrich of radiohead, beck, travis, McCartney, REM, etc fame that showcases Gaz and Dan recording some of their favorite tunes. and low and behold, it sounds like well… supergrass covering songs. SURPRISE!
now, we like the songs and their version of The Velvet Underground’s “I Can’t Stand It” particularly kills it. and we dig supergrass. but do we like side projects focused on cover songs? well i guess who cares what we like..
The Hot Rats – “I Can’t Stand It”
The Hot Rats – “Drive My Car”
Supergrass – “Seen The Light”

“lay your head where my heart used to be, hold the earth above me”, ….one of the most beautiful lines ever put to music. “green grass” is a song that swallows you up, envelops you, eases, rips, tears, comforts …”green grass” exposes (at those most self-selectively impossible times) that space that capacity to feel something….anything.
James Brown – “It’s A Man’s, Man’s, Man’s World”
“Sixteen” is the first single off The Heavy’s new album The House That Dirt Built due this october. these uk cats play a pretty mean soul on “sixteen”.. makin’ the Grandfather proud – ughh hit me!
