The Fabulous. Most Groovy.

Since I've been on a nostalgia trip with my music listenings lately, peeping all my old Beastie Boys records, Stones Throw joints and DJ Shadow B-SIDES AND RARITIES, I couldn't resist buying a copy of the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion's Orange on vinyl yesterday. And let me say: oh boy it has been a treat. Remember that time in the late 90s when all the musicians were friends and coinciding with each other? I remember being just so stoked that Jon Spencer, Beck and Dan the Automator could conceivably spend a day together bowling or some shit. Didn't it just seem like they were the center of the 'hip world' back then?

So I pulled out my copy of the Experimental Remixes EP they put out on Matador in 1995 and decided to post some of these gems. An UNKLE remix by Tim Goldsworthy, who everybody knows and loves these days as one of the talented producers behind DFA? Yay! And (oh shit, this one made me cream my jeans back in the day) a GZA REMIX FEATURING KILLAH PRIEST.

While I'm at it, I figure I might as well post some equally dubby nightmare shit that I've been digging lately from the new EXCEPTER lp, Debt Dept. This is the most terrifying shit I've heard since the last time Sunn0))) put out a record that wasn't just a wanky collab (that would be Black One). Dub beats, ye olde synth basslines and SCREECHES OF TERROR.

And here's the video for "Kill People" which is pretty close to inspiring me to do just that:
