No Fucking Fool Release of Batty Bass' Shake it UP!

Batty Bass Records just released a whomp of a tune featuring the soul-rocking voice of Mama Shamone backed by the big beats of Hannah Holland. An incredibly well-produced tune.

The music video, pieced from the monthly Bastard Batty Bass events throughout 2008, defines to those who can't attend the massively successful events what BBB is all about!


Hannah Holland ft. Mama - Shake it UP



BUY IT ON BEATPORT and catch the vinyl in record shops, and the download on other sites next week!

Have you ever watched the X-Treme Slip n' Slide video? As a sequel to the debauchery, Large chick gets pulled by a jet-ski and takes off - helicoptering in the air. It's a perfect example of physics!

I've been following College Humor for much of a decade. Lately, with the help of intuitive designers, comedy writers, new media specialist, HD video.. blah, blah, blah. They're original viral videos are hilarity! Prank wars is unstoppable, vimeo's great HD capabilities and upload limits are close to the top of the list in terms of free service, and here's video of me failing off a rope swing three years ago.

Can't wait for Summer!

Jon Bob LIVE Free Broken Beat Mix

Intense and amazing! Complete smash-up of broken beats and glitch noise. Live from Halifax, Canada on Broken Science. The man has fine production ability. My guess is that much, if not all, material he plays is his own production. He's a fucking unicorn alright.

Another vid from French public prank star Remi Gaillard.


It's hilarious! Too funny when they all fall over each other at the end, right into security. LOL! And for you footy fans, here's Remi's football skills.

Mother Earth's Bar Tricks

Cloud streets are rows of cumulus clouds aligned by low lying streams of wind. This example was filmed and photographed over Sea of Okhotsk in Summer of 2007.



And of course video evidence.



This Google Image Search shows more varied examples. Neat how such things happen. Maybe God was combing his Mother Earth's hair? Woaaaah.. Why don't God fearing and God praising people, or the God makers, start looking after the only planet we've got? As with the rest of us! I tend to think, and maybe act in selfish ways of convenience. But that's why Earth Day and events like Earth Hour are there to help remind us of our duty to respect our planet.


A BIT OF OBSERVATIONAL FYI: Calgary has recently begun implementing a blue-box recycling program. Everyone who's received their blue box is excited. Single-stream bins that eventually get processed into recyclable materials. Being true innovators, most communities in Ontario have had the program for up to 20 years! Good to see it happen here, however. I'm sure the drive to the community depots with week/month old recyclables was pleasant.

PS. It's very exciting for Earth week to be starting off on 4-20-09! :)

Thunderheist

NYLON TV - Bat For Lashes

Repeating in my iTunes for the past week has been the sensual and surrealist songs from Brighton singer/songwriter Bat For Lashes. For gray days and sunny days I highly recommend her albums Fur and Gold and Two Suns.

Short and intimate interview with NYLON TV.

Work It

From the days of Funky House and Dirty Breaks came an cross-border duo called The Beat Freakers. Full of funk and big skills in performing live, The Beat Freakers testified to the Chicago and Toronto underground during the early-mid 2000's. A dynamic fusion of phat tracks and funky styles left its mark whether playing to massive sold-out indoor venues, or playing from the back of a rental truck to the most willing listeners. Again, The Beat Freakers - a class act that has been on hiatus. Wonder what their new word will be?

Killa Sound

Free download of Zinc's
Killer Sound EP.
Mini release of remodeled House music. UK Funky is a bit like UK Garage, subtly more 4/4.

“I like the vibe of that scene,” Zinc says. “It sounds like a cross between regular house and UK garage, with mainly 4/4 beats and basslines, but not as fast or cheesy as Bassline House.”

Beijing Nightlife, as the city prepared for the arrival of Zinc.

Increase the Party

Moguai - German producer and DJ of House. For more than a decade he's been an international player of sound in the most intimate spaces to the biggest warehouse parties. Now with his internationally syndicated Punx Up the Volume radio broadcast he stays vital in with his music in-front. Two tasty treats of House in clubby, and sometimes dreamy states. The third is streaming from the show's MySpace and will be made available whenever released.

Where to begin but where it ends? Miss Kittin has been a phenomenal artist and vocalist to the underground scene since the mid-90's. Her iconic sound of synth and strong vocals, sexy and sleek, have rebounded her 15 years later for one to watch in 2009. I first heard her during Media Studies in the college art studios (2003) and have loosely followed her throughout the years, but her sound is iconic. Twilight and perceptive delights. Crisp, sensual vocals. Deep and melodic grooves. Fantasy and finesse.


PS. I'll also mention Chicks on Speed: “Kaltes klares Wasser” is one of my all-time favourite tracks.
