Did all of you have a wonderful Christmastime? Did you contract a case of the flu that required an ambulance ride to an Akron area hospital? Well then you had a better Christmas break than I did you bastards.And today I fell on the ice and hurt my back. 2009 can’t fucking end soon enough. My New Year’s celebrations will consist of me, my comfy new couch and my Kraftwerk box set. Screw parties.

GitHub is home to over 36 million developers working together to host and review code, manage projects, and build software together.

Trans Europe Express makes the pain go away.The OrbBlue RoomBlue Room – Radio 7Blue Room – Excerpt 605Towers of Dub (Mad Professor Remix)The single mix of “Blue Room” is a beautiful thing. It almost makes me wish I had some painkillers on hand (actually, that has more to do with the previously mentioned fall on the ice). It’s also epic; clocking in at 39 minutes and 58 seconds long.

I’ve actually listened to this sucker all the way through multiple times today, and that alone proves that I spend too much time in front of the computer listening to music.“Towers of Dub” may not be the best song of all time but fuck me sideways if it doesn’t have one of the grooviest basslines ever laid to wax. This mix has its ups and downs, but it end is pretty damned good.In the interest of honest I will admit that I swiped these tracks from another blog,. However, my links are directly to the files on my server, and not to their Rapidshare account, that would be rude.Pete ShelleyOn Your Own (New York Mix)Please forgive mebut I cannot endure it any longer“On Your Own” is a good track, I’m not denying that, but the real attention grabber here is the B-side. “Please Forgive Me” is a bizarre seven-and-a-half minute instrumental of drums and synths that wouldn’t sound out of place on a Deep Forest record if it wasn’t so damn ominous and awesome.

Actually, it sounds like some perfect combination of Deep Forest, Tangerine Dream and Vangelis‘ score to Blade Runner. If you think it’s boring give it time, it peaks around the 5:20 mark. It’s good, and when I listen to it I am shocked that it wasn’t in the score to or something.RammsteinYes, this is a cover of Depeche Mode’s Stripped by German industrial perverts Rammstein, and yes, it sounds exactly how you would expect it to. In fact, the version you just know imagined in your head is probably spot on. So yeah, it’s kinda dumb.

It’s also kinda fun so enjoy. This is from a Depeche Mode tribute CD.Posted in,. Just saw Avatar. Go see it now. Well, read my shit here first then go see it.The RaversIt’s Gonna Be A Punk Rock Christmas!Silent NightHave I The Right (Come Right Back)Rich KidsThe Ravers were a 70s punk rock band.

I am fairly certain, though, that these are not the same Ravers who went on to be The Nails and recorded “88 Lines about 44 Women” if they are, then they used to sing in fake British accents and that’s just kind of sad. Anyways, here’s my obligatory Christmas music for the season, enjoy.KraftwerkTour De France (Long Distance Version 2)Tour De France (Version 1)Tour De France (Version 3)Expo 2000 (Orbital Mix)Expo 2000 (Francois K & Rob Rives Mix)Expo 2000 (DJ Rolando Mix)Expo 2000 (Underground Resistance Mix)Expo 2000 (Underground Resistance Infiltrated Mix)Expo 2000 (Underground Resistance Thought 3 Mix)A Christmas gift I am getting from myself is the new Kraftwerk box set The Catalogue, which collects every single Kraftwerk album from Autobahn till now. I’m stoked because I don’t own any Kraftwerk on CD, just vinyl, and the condition of those records is a little lacking. I am a little upset about the lack of “bonus” material in the box set though.

No remixes or single edits, which is a bummer. And of course there’s nothing from their first three albums – which the group has pretty much disowned. That sucks because I have bootlegs of their second and third albums and while, yes, they are uneven, there is some bitching stuff on those albums. More people need to hear Tanzmusik because that song is amazing.Like I said before, none of their remixes are on the box set, which makes me feel fine about putting these several mixes up. The Tour De France versions are from a 12” single I got. None of them are the same as the version on the album. The Expo 2000 remixes are from a CD single, but I’ll be honest and admit that I snagged them online.Everyone enjoy their German electronic music/70s novelty punk songs and I’ll see you after Christmas.

Merrry Chirstmas to all who celebrate it, and a happy (belated) Hanukah, Kwanzaa, Saturnalia, Festivus and Ziemassvētki – if any ancient Lavians are reading this.Tags:,Posted in. Not much to say tonight and not much to post. I got a big stack of records to record so hopefully some of that will be up soon. Busy week compiling various “Best of” lists for the various websites I write for. Best of 00 lists are a pain in my ass.The KillersSomebody Told Me (Josh Harris Club)Somebody Told Me (Josh Harris Dub)Somebody Told Me (King Unique’s Vocal Remix)Somebody Told Me (King Unique’s Frogger Dub)The Killers made my kinda-short list for best album of the decade. I really liked Sam’s Town, but when it came down to the nitty gritty it didn’t make it past my top 20.

Hot Fuss probably wasn’t even in my top 50. That’s not to say they aren’t good records, but when you’re up against The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Strokes, Hell, Fucked Up, The New Pornographers, The White Stripes, Green Day, Radiohead, Outkast, Jay-Z and so on some shits gotta give. These remixes are from a 12” and are pretty good actually. Although the Frogger dub is lacking in dying frog sounds.Peter MurphyThe Line Between The Devil’s Teeth (And That Which Cannot Be Repeat) (12” Remix)A Strange Kind Of Love (Version II)Okay, a few things worth mentioning here.

The original version of these tunes are from Deep, which is the album that has the cover in which it looks like Peter is trying to blow himself. It’s also the album that has “Cuts You Up” on it, a track that sadly never had a 12” version. “The Line Between The Devil’s Teeth (And That Which Cannot Be Repeat)” is a silly song title, and the fact that he went with “repeat” instead of “repeated” is obviously because he was trying to rhyme “teeth” with “repeat.” That’s a stretch. Also, the first version of “A Strange Kind Of Love” is on that record, but it’s called “(Version One)” while the single goes with roman numerals and calls the second version “(Version II).” As a design person that irks me.These tracks are dedicated to blind date I had with a hardcore Peter Murphy fan who never called me back.Posted in,. So no one wants to comment on the brilliance of? Geez, I thought you guys were cool. What, you’re too good to hear a 19-minute prog-rock version of “Night On Bald Mountain?” Pussies.

If you guys keep this up I just mightumcomplain about it next time.Spandau BalletLifeline (Club Mix)Lifeline (Dub Mix)So I’m walking out of a restaurant with a friend and somehow Spandau Ballet comes up in conversation and she says “Ooh I love them” so I start a spontaneous performance of “Gold” in front of her. However, her definition of “Ooh I love them” is really just “Ooh, I like that song ‘True'” so I’m just dancing around like an idiot in front of her singing a song she’s never heard.This kind of thing happens to me a lot.This remix is from a 12” single.The StranglersAlways The Sun (Hot Mix)Even though I own four Stranglers 12” singles I have yet to buy any of their albums save for a greatest hits collection. So do not ask me how this song is different from the regular version, because I do not know. It’s pretty though.

And unlike the I know I’m fairly certain this one is not about heroin.Daft PunkRevolution 909 (Roger & Junior’s Revolutionary War Mix)Yay! Daft Punk remix! I got nothing else on this, sorry. It’s from a 12”, it’s good. The Junior in the title is Junior Sanchez.

Enjoy.EonBasket Case (Whitecoat Mix)Basket Case (Blackcoat Mix)Basket Case (Mr Raucous Rides Again Version)This is by far the best house track to sample an early 80s grindhouse flick, unless there’s some unheard classic that riffs off of C.H.U.D. In case you have no idea as to what I am talking about, this song samples, and is named after Basket Case, a classic piece of sleaze from 1982 about a guy who keeps his deformed, psychopathic twin in an extra-large picnic basket as they go on a murder spree to get revenge against those who separated them. It’s an amazing filthy offensive masterpiece and I can’t recommend it enough. Don’t take that as an endorsement of the sequels though, those are two of the worst movies ever made.Eon, the maker of this bitchin’ track, sadly passed away earlier this year from complications stemming with pneumonia. If you want to check out some of his excellent other tracks (including one that samples the movie Dune)Posted in,. I’ve been having a less-than-stellar few weeks, but thankfully I found an album so amazingly bizarre that I think it could actually be sold as a cure for depressionwell, if it came with a bottle Prozac and some vodka.

Good triple play if you ask me.FireballetLes CathedralesCenturion (Tales of Fireball Kids)The FireballetAtmospheresNight on Bald MountainI have a odd relationship with prog rock. I worship Pink Floyd, but I really don’t consider them “prog” as much as they are psychedelic. On the flip side, I used to think Rush was the worst band in the history of the universe, but someone forced me to listen to 2112 and I came around (but I still hate Geddy Lee’s voice). More recently I’ve become interested in King Crimson and have discovered some pretty amazing obscure 70s prog bands like Magma and FM. And even in the prog I don’t like (such as Jethro Tull) I recognize the talent behind the music and can usually appreciate it on that level (notable exception: Traffic – I fucking hate that band).However, what I like most about prog rock is just how damn stupid it can be.

And I mean that as a compliment. There is no shame in prog, no restraint, it is what it is, like it or not. And that’s how we get stuff like a theatrical performance of King Arhtur ON ICE (thank you Rick Wakeman) and.Fireballet definitely encompasses everything I love about prog rock, preposterous concepts, technical ability and a hard-to-define wackiness, all in one amazingly odd and quirky album.Night On Bald Mountain was Fireballet’s first release and came out on Passport records in 1975. In ways the album is actually restrained when compared to other prog rock releases, most of the songs hover around the four-minute mark, and keyboard solos are kept to a minimum on those numbers. However, it’s the other two pieces in which Fireballet really let their freak prog flag fly in all its insane and ludicrous glory.The first is “Les Cathedrales” which apparently borrows liberally from by Van De Graff Generator. Even though, they mix it up a bit, adding a great spacey intro and moving the originals sax melody to various keyboards and other electronic instruments.

The vocals by lead singer Jim Como are also an addition to the original, and his forceful delivery really drive home the energy of the tune in the bridge before it delves off into solo insanity.The real highlight of the album though is the title track, a 19-minute take on the Modest Mussorgsky composition that features every damn instrument you could possibly imagine (more on that in a minute) and some original lyrics about wizardsand stuff (okay the lyrics are kind of out there). Needless to say it’s totally insane/inane/brilliant stuff. It’s definitely the kind of thing that could only be created in the 70s that’s for sure.If you decide to download these songs (and if you’ve read this far I’m assuming you have) then you might be wondering what the hell you’re hearing. There’s a lot going on here man. Thankfully the back cover breaks down the instrumentation by performer for us.Jim Como was the Phil Collins of the group, going double-duty as a drummer/singer. In addition to drums he also played timpani, xylophone, vibes, gongs, finger cymbals, (which is apparently more than a Mike Oldfield album) and triangle. I do love that he felt the need to credit his gong playing separately from his drum playing, hell I love the fact that he had multiple gongs!

Bryan Howe backed up Jim as the organ player, rocking out on a Hammond and pipe organ as well as a. And while Howe may have been the organ player, Fireballet also had a pianist. His name was Frank Petlo and he played piano, electric piano, electronic strings and the. Ryche Chlandra was the guitarist of the group, playing both acoustic and electric. He also performed various “electronic devices” which is probably the coolest credit in the history of music.

Rounding out the group was the Marytn Biglin who played bass, 12-string guitar, bass pedals and pedals. Their producer, one Ian McDonald of King Crimson and Foreigner fame, also contributed to the mix, playing sax and flute on a couple tracks.That isa lot of instruments. One can only imagine what their practice space looked like. Did these guys ever go on tour? I couldn’t find any information on their live show. I do know that they released one more album (the hilariously-named Two-Too) before calling it quits.

They have however, and Ryche is even on!Despite these all work remains out of print, never released on CD – which is why I am putting up all of Night On Bald Mountain here for download. If anyone from Fireballet objects, please let me know and I shall remove its progtastical greatness in due haste.

Until then I recommend everyone check it out, its’ great stuff. And it’ll make you want to watch Fantasia (which for some reason I have on LaserDisc – so I got that going for me, which is nice).Posted in,.

I actually have some stuff to say about tonight’s music so I’m going to skip my usually random BS intro and just cut to the chase. Besides, seeing both John Travolta and Rod Stewart on Conan tonight zapped my brain of any creativity. What the fuck was that? Old semi-talented has-been night on the Tonight Show? It was painful.MPop Musik (Tolga’s Version)Shockingly this is the first remix of “Pop Musik” I’ve found. I would assume this sucker has been remixed both illegally and legally about a billion times over. It’s just one of the most brilliant tracks ever written.

Best one-hit-wonder that isn’t Tainted Love? This weird remix from the early 90s was from a German 12” single that contained another remix of a late-70s/early-80s dance trackBlue FeatherLet’s Funk Tonight (Celebrate Remix)which would be this track right here.

Steve Byrnes Obituary

Everything I know about Blue Feather I found out on Wikipedia about 20 minutes ago, so I’m not going to go into any detail,. This song is retarded though, and there should be a worldwide ban on using “funk” as a replacement for “fuck” unless you are George Clinton. Okay maybe Bootsy Collins can too but that’s it. I’m talking to you Red Hot Chili Peppers!Techno MadnessTechno Madness (Lime Light Mix)Techno Madness (Original Club Mix)Techno Madness (Radio Edit)Techno Madness (Scott’s Med Mix)Okay, I found it. The search is over. This is, without question, the stupidest techno song of all time. Nearly every stereotype from 90s techno is here, collected in these four remixes.

You got the sample of Chuck D yelling “bass!”, random sirens, the generic hard synth riff, and even some “woos” thrown in for good measure. All it’s missing is some hoovers, an Amen Break and that James Brown “Woo! Yeah!” sample.

Steve Byrne Tattoo

That is represented on tonight’s blog post in that Blue Feather remix.Techno Madness is the name of the song and the performer, who exactly “Techno Madness” might be is a bit of a mystery. I can find no information on this person. This track was released by ZYX Records, which is a German label, so I’m willing to bet whomever “Techno Madness” is he/she/they/it is from Europe. Besides, Americans weren’t making this kind of stupid dance music in 1992, we were busy making our own bran of stupid dance music (see C+C Music Factory, Marky Mark & The Funky Bunch for examples).BlameA quick addendum to tonight post to prove I listen to some “intelligent” electronic music. This is nifty neato-keen spaced-out drum ‘n’ bass from a 2-12” EP I got a few years ago. I don’t know much about Blame but I dig his style based on what I’ve heard.

If you download these tracks and like what you hear then I suggest you check out from a while back for some similar stuff.Posted in,. I hope everyone had a better Thanksgiving than I did.

To recover from you family holiday trauma here is some big dumb 90s dance music. Because we all need more of that.Apollo 440Carrera Rapida (Theme From Rapid Racer) (Salt Tank’s Rip Tide Remix)Carrera Rapida (Theme From Rapid Racer) (Frog Junkies Funk Junkie Remix)Carrera Rapida (Theme From Rapid Racer) (The E-Z Drum & Bass Orchestra Remix)Carrera Rapida (Theme From Rapid Racer) (Mondo Azul Remix)So grabbing these mixes off of a 12 inch single bring my knowledge of Apollo 440 to a whopping three songs. There is of course their smash hit “Stop The Rock” but I also was aware of them back in “the day” (the day being the late 90s) due to their strange remix of the theme to Lost In Space, which I think was used in the 1998 film version of the TV show. Spoiler Warning: That movie is one of the worst sci-fi flicks of all time.I remember seeing that piece of trash in the theater. I also remember that it opened huge, and was the film the finally dethrone Titanic from its reign of terror at number one at the box office. A few weeks before this crapular cinematic abortion forced upon an unknowing movie public that a much better sci-fi film, the amazing Dark City, was released to an overwhelming thud. The fact that Dark City, an amazing, breathtaking one-of-a-kind piece of film making bombed while Lost in fucking Space did bang-up business was one of my first indicators that there is no justice in the entertainment world, especially when it comes to awesome sci-fi.Anyways, this single is actually from the soundtrack to a video game called Rapid Racer (or Turbo Prop Racing in the states).

I never played that one, I was probably too busy recovering from seeing Lost In Space in the theater on opening weekend. How the hell did a kind of well-known electronic act get involved with what looked to be a standard boat racing game? Man the 90s were fucked up.WarGalaxy 2000 (Main Mix)Galaxy 2000 (Dub Mix)Want further proof of the 90s ridiculousness? Okay, how about the fact that house producers Plump DJs remixed 70s funk band War’s “Galaxy” and renamed it “Galaxy 2000”?

That’s even more random than when The Doobie Brothers’ “Listen To The Music” was remixed for dance clubs in the mid-90sokay maybe not but it’s still odd. These remixes are good though.Jon The DentistShindo (Jon The Dentist’s Epic Mix)Shindo (Dexterous Remix)Shindo (DJ Misjah Mix)Now were getting from weird to just downright stupid.

Okay, that’s harsh. “Shindo” is actually a pretty amazing trance track and it still holds up some 10 plus years later as an obvious precursor to hardstyle house music. In fact, Jon the Dentist is supposedly hailed (by whom?) as an innovator of the hardstyle house sound. I can see it though, because if “Shindo” is any indication he was making fast-paced and incredibly awesome dance tracks that were impossible to dance to due to their insane BPM long before that whole thing took off as a movement.

I don’t know how you kids dance to that stuff. It makes my feet want to fall off. What is stupid however is the name Jon The Dentist. Because when I’m listening to Hi-NRG house I really want to be reminded of my sore gums.HypertrophyHypertrophy is the technical term for “getting buff.” It’s also apparently the name of a bunch of German producers who make mediocre house music if this song is any indication. “Beautiful Day” isn’t awful, but it isn’t great either, and the dude’s vocals get REALLY annoying after a while. “Just Come Back To Me” is generic acid house to the 10th degree. I listen to it and imagine that it was cut from the soundtrack of Hackers.Posted in,.
