Here is to infinitely dividing seconds, and here is to a long slow burning summer.

Maybe Marc Johnson can explain it better.

…over end out

KungPow! midweek ninja kick….to the earhole.

I might be wrong, but to me, this is how every conversation in the world of casual business goes:
Dude 1> (calling…no answer, leaves message) Hey “Guy 2”. I’m calling to touch base on our last talk and see whats up. give me a call.

Guy 2> (calling…no answer, leaves message) Hey “Dude 1”. I’m giving you a call back to touch base about touching base on our last talk and see whats up. I’ll try back later.

Dude 1>(calling…no answer, leaves message) Hey “Guy 2”. Saw you called me back to touch base, I’m still trying to touch base with you about touching base on our last talk and seeing whats up.

Guy 2> (calling…no answer, leaves message) Hey “Dude 1”. Just got your message about touching base and seeing whats up. Just calling you again to touch base about touching base on our last talk and see whats up. I should be around for the rest of the day to touch base.

Dude 1> (calling…no answer, leaves message) Hey “Guy 2”. Sorry I missed your attempts to touch base on touching base and seeing whats up. I’ve been real busy and we’re just living the dream around here. I’ve been touching base with a lot of people and some of them have expressed that we should all touch base. But I still want to touch base with you about touching base and our last conversation, touch base… anyhow. Lets touch base soon and I look forward to touching base with you and seeing whats up. Alright, touch base. Later.

I just decided to make a movie about that. Look for it in theaters.

Alex Smoke… I don’t know much about him. ok. but I know a little. and I likey. I found his remix of the Junior Boys and at first I was all like….oh hell no! Because I really like the OG bro. But then I accidentally gave it another shot and yo, I was all like Whoa. I have a whole theory on why this song works, that I cooked up like meth in my kitchen, and maybe I’ll give you the tip, just for a second, just to see how it feels…. ugh… actually, I’m just going to post it with my official seal of approval. But on the flip side, this song will sneak up on you and if you let it, it will grope you in the love muscle…. bro…. thats your heart, don’t get perverted with me. Oh yeah, he’s on Soma. I wish I was on Soma. Buy Alex Smoke Here. Be his best friend Here.

Junior Boys – In The Morning ( Alex Smoke Rmx)

MGMT. I woke up this morning with a shitty song in my head. I sang it to Admiral Meatbag while he was sitting on the can. It wasn’t this song… it was actually Knockin’ Boots by Candyman. My point is, in 15 years I’ll probably wake up with this song in my head and sing it to whoever will listen. That will probably be the guy in the cell next to mine, and he will say something like, ” damn, that sounds like a cool song.” And I will say, you have no idea. MGMT are good to me. Be friends Here. Buy Here.

MGMT – Electric Feel

Lastly… the funniest thing I have seen this week.

Over End Out.

Ok kids, a few things going on.

1. I’m back after a short hiatus called ‘life can get all up in your ass’. I bet you want juicy details… too bad, no dice, deal with it.

2. MOST IMPORTANT – Good Friend and DJ, Nik E Gunz needs our help…

5. DJ Pretty Tony’s new mixtape ‘Pretty Pink Brass Knuckles’ is now up for listening and downloading.

One hour….One take… No practicing (none, seriously..not that I know…or talk to him. ever.)…. and Pretty Pink Brass Knuckles is born. I’d say this mix ranks right up there with the fat cute lohan, or… um… Elyse Sewell’s personality. And by that I mean, not always perfect, but pretty fucking awesome most of the time.

Over End Out…for now

My mother use to tell me that desire is prayer. I would pass it off as one of those statements that mothers say when their kids ask questions that they can’t answer. Now I think that she meant; the things you keep in your heart are leading you to where you are, and are going.

I think when I’m not feeling good, it’s a sign that I need to re-set my quest. Rethink what I’m are desiring. Be humble enough to admit when I may be wrong. Be strong enough to change directions when I don’t know what direction to go. I often need to remind myself that there is nothing to “get” in life. The worst fears are the ones that rob a man/woman of reaching their joy. whats hard is admit is that those fears are usually our own creation.

Like you care…on to the music.

Grand National is a UK band. It doesn’t matter to me where they are from, but I guess other people like to make distinctions. If you think music is better because it comes from a certain area, you are a silly person. In fact if you care about anything trivial in a way that affects your happiness, you are silly. That is my judgment, and if you know me then you’re cool. Did that make sense? Good. Anyhow, I like to sit back and nerd out to this song. A lot. (it’s two words people). Did you catch my hypocrisy? Awesome… I love irony. I also love girls who like ironing. Grand National Website Here. Myspace them and be friendly.

Kings of Leon is an Austin, TX band. That makes them 100% warmer than I will be tonight. Actually, probably 600% or more… but who is counting? So… they have been getting some really good press lately, and that means they are cool er something. Really though, I dig this song, and those riffs…even if it is trendy song about being trendy.Website Here. Myspace Here.

Tonight I’m going to Milwaukee to see Diplo and Blaqstarr. If you don’t know Diplo… that means you’re probably new to good music. If you don’t know Blaqstarr that means you probably don’t know Rye Rye either. But… I think most everyone already knows… I mean… yeah… you already know.

ok. I’m aught.

This car and I have great chemistry. It is as obsessed with me as I am with it, but this car isn’t mine. If this were mine, we wouldn’t be beautiful. I wouldn’t keep it in the garage until a sunny day drive. I wouldn’t wax and polish it to make it shiny for others to admire, or envy. No, if this car were mine, we would drive and live ugly. We wouldn’t stop at stop signs. We wouldn’t smile at speed limits. We wouldn’t get up and go to work. We would use each other, abuse each other, and thats the way it should be. It wouldn’t be pretty. It wouldn’t be lovely. I would wreck it, and it would wreck me. If one of us walked away, we would always know that the other one was with us. But it would be real, the kind of appreciation that you can only get from that burning passion… it’s not work, it’s chemistry. Something you couldn’t possibly feel sorry about. I would love to wreck that car. I would love the way it would feel to know that it was mine. Love the way we were full of life through each other.

Sort of how I like the way pianos are full of life:

I think these dudes are German. I know they are down with the Pirate Video Crew. They sort of fluctuate between breaks/ hiphop/ and reggae. Check out their myspace here. Website here.

This is from Au off the album of the same name. I don’t know how you pronounce Au, but I hope it is like Owwww, because I like to make that noise when I’m underwater. like it? Buy the album here.

Movement is intuitive. Sound is movement. Thought is movement. People describe feelings as moving. All movement is action

If you were to pair it with time, time is something relative to the individual observer; time becomes relative to the observation if it. The observation becomes the action, creator and the reactor. The movement is intuitive.

Gudrun Gut – Move Me

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

Gudrun Gut is from Berlin. She has been making music, specifically electronic music since the late 70’s. She is the head of labels Monika Enterprise and Moabit Musik. She co-presents the Oceanclub weekly radio program.

This song is from her debut album called, I put a record on. Each song is dedicated to another record or a place. It’s pretty arty.

Again… This video is pretty cool…

Bonus Track: Mr. Scruff – Get a Move On

Boards of Canada is one of those groups that sometimes I really like, but sometimes their music loses me. This song is the bonus off the Japanese import. For me, this song represents BOC at their finest.

Boards of Canada – Macquarie Ridge

The video for this song is enticing as well.

M83 crafts an aural scape that always touches on an abyss of sound; slow full bodied and ethereal. (not all that different than BOC)
You might recognize this song as the intro to the Lakai Fully Flared video

M83 – Lower Your eyelids To Die With The Sun

Last up is a Austin Texas duo that goes by Transmography. I don’t know much about them, but they seem cool and I dig their sound. Visit their myspace www.myspace.com/transmography

out.

Ok>yeah. I switched up the look. Why? Um… because I fiddle with shit until it breaks. Unfortunatley, it took me all day to redesign this, but I made it look better, and I think I’m sort of happy with it.

I’m off to hunt powder. The good kind that punches me in the throat and leaves me sore for a few days. The kind that seeps into my veins, sharpening my senses, relaxing my mind. The kind that remains the only thing I love about winter. I’m going to go ride. Alone if I must.

That is Iggy Pop on that track…

I’m still working the kinks out of this thing. I like some aspects of this design, but others have already got me wondering how long I’ll put with them before I redo this thing. Maybe I’ll get use to it.

Anyhow, lets commence to the shit. The first post is important in the same way that your first fuck is important. There are two over riding aspects: 1.) It is a special occasion that you hope will be fondly remembered. OR 2.) just do anything, get it out of the way, there will be many more.

Despite that this is just one of many, and is merely a blip on an otherwise uninterrupted downward trajectory into the world of music that may or may not suit anyones taste but mine… I still wanted to start with something fucking good.

So here it is: The Velvet Underground – Sweet Jane – from Live Vol. 1

This is DJnoDJ Rides Again. I am DJnoDJ. What the fuck does that mean, DJnoDJ? It means I have no shame, no apologies, I like whatever music I like. I am choosing to share with you  some of the music I find, and if I say something else along the way then it’s a bonus for you.

If you like what I post… chances are you’re either incredibly cool, or incredibly attractive. In either circumstance, drop me a comment. I like both kinds.
