    EXCELLENT TRACK!


    2009 - 07.17

    Anthony was rocking this song when I flew back into Vancouver earlier this week.

    Yay Royksopp! Amazing production, and an excellent bass tone. And I think they ripped the bass line in the first verse from Stevie Wonder’s “Too High”.

    Compare:

    The new album is pretty good from what I’ve been told, but you should start with their first record, Melody A.M.- It’s truly an exceptional listening experience (especially on quiet nights while staring at a candle and contemplating your life).

    Here is a link to download the record via Torrent (SHHHHHHHH….): http://isohunt.com/torrent_details/91226045/royksopp+melody+a.m?tab=summary

    WHATS AROUND THE CORNER?'


    2009 - 07.17

    glasses01

    If you’re like us here at SEX-ED, it’s not just what you’re working on at the particular moment making you jump up and down screaming “I GOT THIS SHIT ON LOCK”…….

    IT’S WHAT LIES AHEAD that BRINGS ALL THE EXCITEMENT!68802269_2984831d8a

    For example, the MSTRKRFT SEX-ED REMIX will be done shortly. We will also include a short promo vid highlighting some experiences as we made it.

    I’ll let the rock speak for itself.

    Fist

    Then on Sunday, we’re off tracking LIVE DRUMS at a snazzy studio here in Vancouver. It’s for THIS incredibly talented female, who we’ve had the pleasure to befriend and work with.

    6413_110847400670_640200670_2723942_6351959_n

    Miss Sherry St. Germain

    She is now part of our crew (awww yeah) and I personally cannot wait to start releasing the tracks we’ve cooked up together. They are SUPER DOPE.

    How does it sound you ask!? That, my friend is an extremely difficult question to answer….It’s most defiinetly something you as a listener are not expecting. Probably kind of like this:

    RECOMMENDED VIEWING: HOWARD THE DUCK


    2009 - 07.16

    howard_the_duck

    HOWARD THE DUCK is one of those movies you have to see to believe.

    It’s a timeless classic that has stood out to me as essential viewing to anyone who appreciates excellence and creativity in film.

    howard

    Encounter a movie truly as OUT OF THIS WORLD as its main character! With a top notch cast, supporting an equally impressive script that shatters all expectations you’ve had about a duck starring in his own movie (who’s not a cartoon) HOWARD THE DUCK truly delivers!

    duck-daffyNOT Howard the Duck

    Never before have I felt such a compelling CONNECTION with a furry protagonist.

    4872_5706241408It’s got ACTION!

    howardduck

    SONG AND DANCE!  howard-the-duck_l

    and SEX APPEAL

    lea_thompson_butt_howard_duck

    George Lucas was attached to it, and he has never ever made a BAD film…..I also admire his courage to highlight such an underrated genre in movie history. As truly essential viewing, it shines a human light on a situation rarely discussed and begs the question:

    What would it be like for a duck to put on human clothes and join the rest of society?

    Click the vid to watch the last 3 minutes of the movie. I think it sums everything up quite nicely.

    1986 – such a groundbreaking year!

    CONSISTENCY


    2009 - 07.15

    consistency

    Ahh yes….Consistency….something I try and live by, but seem to lose track of all too often…I feel like pretty much nothing will ever be accomplished unless you are consistent. It doesn’t matter if you wanna be a comedian

    comedian-magician_hiresa body builder,

    BodyBuilder

    or change the face of music (in our case)

    FRONT COVER

    Unless everything we do and release is DOPE (at least by our standards) progress will cease and our machine will grind to a halt.

    Fuck – I sound like Dr. Phil or something

    Dr_Phil_McGraw

    Feel free to retaliate.

    italian-police

    But you need to understand – this stuff keeps me AWAKE at night. I realize everything that needs to be accomplished and it’s sometimes hard to turn off my mind when it refuses to RELAX.

    insomnia-eye

    Has this ever happened to you?

    Do you ever lie in bed through twilight pondering how your choices will affect the future you are creating?

    payperpost-realrank-decisions

    BTW, I’m NOT complaining or trying to spin this negatively. If anything, I’m TOO excited about the coming months. For me, it can be overwhelming to decide what to tackle first.

    I just wish I knew how to turn off my brain sometimes….

    brain-off

    But getting back to the theme – CONSISTENCY -

    yeah, I’m promising myself to be more consistent.

    SO, YOU MADE IT THROUGH THE NIGHT RELATIVELY UNSCATHED


    2009 - 07.11

    Blast_5417

    Last night was  a blast! – BUT DIDN’T NECESSARILY END WELL.

    I’m still chillin’ in Maui (I re-enter reality sometime next week) and most evenings are spent relaxin’ and hangin’ out at our pad overlooking the beautiful beach. At some point last week, we decided that we would take ONE NIGHT ONLY and make a valiant effort to go out on the town!

    Keep in mind – this particular Hawaiian Island doesn’t have much of a nightlife scene going on. We headed into Kihei to a biker bar called Kahali’s. What a dive…. Think of the ultimate spot for your 50+ parents to party it up. Were talking DAMAGED GOODS. A lot of the clientele looked like they had a life story to get off their chest, but it didn’t stop them from getting down. I’m making it sound like it’s lame or something, but it couldn’t be more than the opposite – FUCK DJ’s. Remember when clubs used to have live bands? EXACTLY.

    IMG_3164

    It was a bonus that the band playing was SUPER DOPE. The drummer was an ex pro from New York, and the (fat) bass player kept it just as tight. The night however, belonged to the androgynous guitar player. HE SLAYED IT.

    IMG_3166

    4 REAL – He looks like a cross between K.D. Lang and Thurston Moore from Sonic Youth. He was playing the craziest shit I had ever heard. Dude was ON FIRE. They did a Jimi Hendrix cover of House Burning Down (one of my personal faves) and the guy nailed it NOTE FOR NOTE, plus his own sexcellent embellishments! Think of getting 100% on guitar hero, except he’s playin’ the actual instrument.

    guitar-hero-and-baby-taylor2

    After drinking like 7 Mai tai’s, we headed across the street to the Elevated SALSA Bar called Lu Lu’s. My (fabulous and fine) GF is a REAL dancer, and therefore helped me get my Salsa grind on. She made me a pro in no time. Of course, she herself totally tore up the dance floor herself and had everyone on their knees in the dust.

    IMG_3174

    We became even more drunk and then decided we would head back to our place and retire for the evening.

    When we arrived home, my (exceptional and elegant) GF demanded I make her a plate of “after the bar” nachos. I complied, and went to work. During the process however, I accidently knocked a giant knife off the counter. It richoceted off the cabinet and stabbed me in the foot. Luckily for me, the alcohol I consumed numbed the pain as I limped up the stairs yelling “BABY I JUST STABBED MYSELF”.

    She wrapped the open cut up in a spare maxi-pad, and we both passed out.

    Check out the wound (morning after).

    IMG_3184

    OK OK OK so it’s not horrible or anything, but I am SOOOO lucky that’s the only damage that was done. Check out the knife.

    IMG_3211I could of lost a toe (or 2).

    Anywayz, I’m kinda depressed cuz I wanted to go play in the waves today and now I have to wait until the wound heals enough to go back in the ocean (boo fucking hoo).

    Do you ever wish life had a re-wind button?

    rewind2gp

    I would of HIT that SHIT!

    Overall, I was extremely pleased with how the evening progressed, and enjoyed every moment until the final few…I’m also very lucky I have a super hot nurse taking care of me.

    Back in Van on Tuesday…..First order of business – release the new SEX-ED MSTRKRFT REMIX….

    DO YOU KNOW YOU'RE GETTING FAT?


    2009 - 07.08

    skinny_fat

    It’s a strange question, but it always seems to pop into my head around the beginning of summer time. Usually in the months of May or June, as I notice most people wearing less and showing more. It’s not that I’m bashful or self conscious….it’s just that I USED to be fat and therefore analyze myself more during this time to see if my careless lifestyle has caught up with me. I guess I’m not as bad as most people…I try to eat relatively healthy, and avoid candy type stuff (ice cream, chocolate, ho-ho’s) but at the same time, I indulge in a bit of everything. Maybe that’s the secret…..everything in moderation, right?

    moderation

    I wouldn’t say I’m in great shape, but I don’t have excess fat hanging everywhere either. The most obvious physical transition that I’ve noticed is losing muscle. It must be all the long hours sitting in the studio. I USED TO HAVE PIPES. Now, my arms have shrunk – ! FUCK THAT SHIT – SEX-ED is planning on hitting up Maui in the next couple months, and I wanna look good on the beach. That means exercise.

    excercise

    SIGNS YOU ARE GETTING FAT (for men and women alike)

    fats

    -Your lower back looks like the top of a muffin in jeans

    -You boobs have gotten bigger (not a bad thing for chicks)

    -Your stomach does the earthquake when doing jumping jacks in front of the mirror

    -Random People touch your tummy without your permission

    -The inside of your thighs have started to rub together when walking (This was a particular nuisance for me during my fat days)

    -A creamy moldy substance has begun growing in your rolls (aka Crev-ass)

    -You smell like pork

    -You now have more than one “chin”

    -People make snide comments around you when you order fast food like “are you sure?”

    -please add any you may have (it helps if you have fat credibility AKA were once lardy)

    I will end this by saying beauty is truly on the inside, and you’re happiness is the most important thing…..so have another piece of pie.

    OL’ SKOOL SPRATION: AIR


    2009 - 07.05

    Air-Moon-Safari-10th-431277Air is one of my favorite “bands” ever.

    Infact, Moon Safari (pictured) is one of my fave RECORDS ever!

    I once listened to it on repeat while reading “The Time Machine” by H.G. Wells.

    01-08-the-time-machine

    It served as a soundtrack of sorts. I think it’s atmospheric textures and memorable key and vocal melodies made the book better to read. I mean, the book was sexcellent anyway! – much better than the disastrous “movies”….

    time6

    morlocks-02

    But I digress…..Here is a super dope song off Moon Safari. It was arguably Air’s breakout single. I remember seeing it as a kid on Much Music’s The Wedge (back when Much Music still played vids) and going out the next day to purchase the album – Kelly Watch The Stars!!

    (embedding is disabled so just double click the window to watch)

    It’s actually a different mix than off the record. Personally, I dig the album cut more, but this one has the visuals to rock it with. I love spacey 70′s shit!

    NOW

    We can go back to the very first single Air ever released. You prolly never heard this on the radio, but may have “overheard it” in about a dozen shampoo commercials. WAY TO GO LICENSING!!

    Incredible bass line – and one of the chillest tracks EVER.

    The funny thing about this vid is that it gives you all this bonus info on the Moon Safari tracks while you watch.

    Once again, I recommend the album version of this track (this version is all modified and mixed differently) and the entire Moon Safari record for that matter – - It has the power to take you places…..

    BEACH MUSIC (ta freak ta)


    2009 - 07.04

    sex_on_the_beach_by_iamthelorax311

    I recommend these songs while sipping champagne and sitting on a beach staring at the waves and blue skies (transforming into an orange haze as the sun sets).

    (This song gets bumpin round the 20 second mark)
