Let’s get into it. Tonight I got some alt-rock girl band dance music, gay British synthpop and pseudo-gay British synthpop! If anyone out there is looking for some tracks for a totally radical dance mixtape then they came to the right blog tonight.

Luscious Jackson
Under Your Skin (Aquatic Mix)
Naked Eye (Muscle Shock Remix)
More remixes from that 12” promo that I started putting stuff up from last week. I have two more that I’ll get to next time.

Pet Shop Boys
Love Comes Quickly (Dance Mix)
That’s My Impression (Disco Mix)
Calling a remix of a Pet Shop Boys song a ‘dance mix’ or a ‘disco mix’ is pretty damn redundant. It’s not like the original versions of either of these songs were hardcore techno or heavy metal. These are off of the 12” single for ‘Love Comes Quickly’.

Ministry
Cold Life
I’m Falling
Primental
Al Jourgensen (the frontman of Ministry) would like you to believe that he’s a hardcore motherfucker. That’s probably why he doesn’t like it when people bring up his first few records. While the majority of his work is hardcore, guitar-laden industrial bad-ass shit, his first few records have more in common with Soft Cell and Pet Shop Boys than anything by Nitzer Ebb or Skinny Puppy. He blames his record label for pressuring him into releasing a more pop-friendly album and I might be willing to believe that if he hadn’t have adopted a fake British accent for many of these songs! Anyways, Jourgenson probably wishes these tracks from his very first single didn’t ever see the light of day, but I feel the same way about Rio Grande Blood so let’s just call it even.

Thank Jeebus that I’m done with classes…for a whole week before the summer semester starts. Oh well. Since I’ve been locked up in my room studying all week I’ve recorded a hell of a lot of vinyl and am finally making a serious dent in the impressive pile of 12” singles, soundtracks and various other oddities that has been quietly mocking me for the past few months. With my week off I hope to finally get the rest of them done. I got some weird shit in there I really want to get up on here, including the soundtrack I previously mentioned that is for a movie that I can’t even find on the IMDB. I’m so very proud of that.

Pet Shop Boys
Where The Streets Have No Name (I Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You) (Extended Mix)
How Can You Expect To Be Taken Seriously (Extended Mix)
The first two of many, many Pet Shop Boys tracks I’ll be putting up in the coming week or so. I scored a buttload of 12” singles by them last week. Their cover of ‘Where The Streets Have No Name’ has always been one of my all-time favorite covers, right up there with The Vandals’ take on ‘Don’t Stop Me Now’ and Pete Townsend’s live solo version of ‘Save It For Later.’ I definitely like it more than U2’s version, but I”m not a real big fan of U2. The addition of ‘I Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You’ is what really does it for me I think. It’s like an early-90s disco mash-up and I love me the mash-ups. ‘How Can You Expect To Be Taken Seriously’ is a good track too. Both of these are off of the 12” for ‘When The Streets…” and these versions are available on some of the Pet Shop Boys compilations that are out there.

New Order
I Don’t Care (Bizarre Love Dub)
Bizarre Love Triangle (7” Version)
Been a long while since I put some New Order up here. It wasn’t for lack of effort, it’s just that New Order singles aren’t exactly easy to find. The 7” version isn’t that remarkable, I’m only posting it because it was never put on an album. The dub is good as dub mixes go.

Luscious Jackson
Under Your Skin (The Shed Lbs Mix)
Naked Eye (The Propellerheads Mix)
What the fuck do you call Luscious Jackson’s music? Rock? Indie? Dance? The best I could come up with is ‘Alternative Dance’ which kind of sucks because I’ve always thought of that term as a way for snobs to label dance music they like. These are two tracks off of a 12” promo. I’ll be putting up more from it later on.

It’s May! I survived April by the skin of my teeth this year. I really have to start working on that underground bunker so I can hide from the whole world during that awful month. It’s going to need a lot of work though. I need enough power outlets for my Xbox, Wii, PS2 and my computer. I also need enough room for my LPs and my record player. I should probably figure out how to get a toilet in there too…and maybe have a tunnel that would take me directly to Jerry’s Records.

Shit, I got to get a shovel.

I need more rare punk for this blog, since I never have anything to put up when I’m feeling totally aggro like I am today. If you need to break something head over to Gimme Tinnitus, where you can get some hardcore tracks by Unsane, including ‘Scrape.’

Hot Hot Heat
Goodnight, Goodnight (EL-P Remix)
Goodnight, Goodnight (Boom Bip Remix)
Alternative garage rock remixed by underground indie rap. Why not?

VHS Or Beta
You Got Me (Baby Daddy Remix)
You Got Me (The Juan MacLean Remix)
Electronic dance music from a band named after a format war between two now-defunct video mediums. In 2020 I’m totally going to start my own band called Blu-Ray vs. HD-DVD. The ironic part will be that it’ll be a jazz ensemble. Did I say ironic? I meant retarded. These are both off a 12” single.

The Dandy Warhols
Not If You Were The Last Junkie On Earth (Rock Snobs Vocal Mix)
Not If You Were The Last Junkie On Earth (Rock Snobs Dub)
Not If You Were The Last Junkie On Earth (Rock Snobs Open Road)
Ever seen Dig? If you haven’t check it out it’s a totally amazing movie about both The Dandy Warhols and The Brian Jonestown Massacre and how one of those bands consists of complete douchebags. Watch it and find out for yourself. These awesome remixes of their first big hit is off of a 12” promo.

I accidentally left out three tracks on my giant Urgh! post. Is fixed now.
