Talk about highs and lows. On Thursday I had to drive from Pittsburgh to Toledo in a shitstorm of snow, then a similar storm hit my stomach, leaving me stuck in Toledo the whole weekend with a virulent stomach virus. On Sunday I felt human enough to crawl into my car and drive back home, making it back just in time for the Super Bowl. The Steelers won (YAY!) but I was still so sick that I couldn’t even go out into the streets and riot like everyone else. No fair. I’m still kind of meh right now, so not much in witty banter tonight, hopefully I’ll be back to my usually dickery and foul-mouthed self soon. I got something very special planned that I’ll hopefully have done in a few days.
Bjork
Hyper-Ballad (David Morales Classic Mix)
Hyper-Ballad (Tee Freeze Mix)
Hyper-Ballad (Disco Synth Mix)
Hyper-Ballad (Subtle Abuse Mix)
It’s In Our Hands (SPT Mix)
It’s In Our Hands (Arcade Mix)
These are both from 12” singles. The latter two remixes of “Hyper-Ballad” are a little scratchy at parts.
Dido
Stoned (Paul Jackson Remix)
Stoned (Deep Dish Stoner Dub)
Stoned (Spiritchaser Remix)
Dido sounds like dildo, hehe. These are from a 12” promo single.
Garbage
Stupid Girl (Ultimix Remix)
From another one of those Ultimix DJ singles. Not that different than the original version.
David Byrne
Big Business (Dance Mix)
Okay, while I’m tired and I didn’t have much to say about the other artists let me leave you with this little tidbit. Everyone knows the rumor about Shirly Manson and her thing for golden showers, right? (Well, now you do.) Anyways, I read somewhere once that David Byrne likes doing something similar that is way too gross for me to even elude to. Think about that while listening to this dance mix that I got from an EP called Three Big Songs.
the morales and spt mix of bjork are amazing – thanks for sharing!
Come on man! Now you’ve whetted our collective appetites! You’ve got to tell us what Byrne is into! Drink his own piss? Shit on his lovers? Rub his shit all over himself? Prank call the other members of Talking Heads and tell them he heard Byrne might want a reunion? That one would be pretty cruel in and of itself, but who knows. Anyway, Byrne being kinky wouldn’t surprise me. His ex-wife told him she thought he was Japanese in another life, and we all know how kinky those Japanese can be!
You really must elaborate on the David Byrne thing.
I might even want to end up doing it ~with~ him!
Also, I think the Björk mix is actually called the Disco synch mix. But it’s an honest error what with all these confusing labels.
I love that 3 big songs EP, the whole catherine wheel project is one of my favorite Byrne things of all time.

Hey, I love the Catherine Wheel too, but I prejudiced having been involved on the orginal project. Aside from being the Production Manager of the Twyla Tharp Balet, I also play my double-belled Euphonium on the soundtrack.
