Celebrate (Kool & The Gang)

OH HOT DAMN, THIS IS MY JAM!
Electronic Birthday Playlist

Today, is my birthday. I'm the big 1 9! And in honor of that, I have revealed my Get The Fuck Up And Dance playlist. Electronic music is one of my current genre obsessions that started in 2008 when I discovered MGMT. Then last year I discovered....Girl Talk. From there it expanded to Super Mash Bros, DJ Danger Mouse, RJD2, etc. I took some extra time making this playlist because I believe it is essential to have a good quality fucking awesome dance playlist. You NEVER know when it might come in handy. I hope you all enjoy this as much as I do. Posted below is my new current obsession DJ Earworm and his mix of the Billboard Top 25 songs of 2009...it's CRAZY!




Ultra Music Festival
The World’s most famous outdoor electronic music event, is held annually in Miami, Florida during March, coinciding with the Winter Music Conference. UMF Miami 2009 set a new record with more than 85,000 party people in attendance over two days, coming to Ultra from 56 countries & territories, 50 states and Puerto Rico.

Originally created as a pure EDM (electronic dance music) festival in 1999, Ultra has grown through the years to present not only the World’s hottest, biggest and best headline EDM artists (The Prodigy, The Chemical Brothers, Tiesto, Underworld, MOBY, Fatboy Slim, Carl Cox, Paul van Dyk, David Guetta, Armin Van Buuren, Erick Morillo, Deadmau5 and Paul Oakenfold, to name a few), but also crossover headline bands that incorporate EDM elements in their music and have a history, or new beginning in the EDM community and culture (The Cure, The Killers, The Black Eyed Peas, Bloc Party, The Bravery).

If you think I'm joking with these two soundtracks, you'd be correct. However, "Will You Be There" by Michael Jackson is amazing and when he does his little speaking part in the song...it does it for me (R.I.P. MJ). Plus, name one person who doesn't like Free Willy. You can't, because it's that inspiring.

In Godzilla's case, the movie sucks. But look at that soundtrack. You've got The Wallflowers, Jamiroquai, Ben Folds Five and Foo Fighters. Now I despise Green Day, but "Brain Stew" is tolerable (although it's sampled directly from Chicago's song "25 Or 6 To 4"). What cracks me up is that on the album it's titled "Brain Stew (The Godzilla Remix)" when really the only "remix" part of the song are the random Godzilla roars sprinkled in throughout the song. But the real treat is the Puff Daddy and Jimmy Page duo. Everyone knows I am a die-hard Zeppelin fan and I gotta tell you, this song is amazing. "Kashmir" is just a certified bad ass song and it was only a matter of time before someone rapped over it - it just unfortunately had to be P.Diddy.



By The Way, I'm about to head down to the Circle Bar downtown to see my friends in Sun Hotel play and I just started a page about local New Orleans bands so check it out on the right column.
