IT Stands for Idiot Time

Thursday, January 14th, 2010

This is a rare mid-day blog posting. You can thank my job’s horrible IT department for giving me the downtime in the middle of the day was required for me to put this together.

New Order
60 Miles An Hour [Supermen Lovers Remix]
Someone Like You [James Holden Heavy Dub]
Someone Like You [Futureshock Vocal Remix]
I found a New Order single I didn’t already own! Yeah, I’m shocked too. This is later New Order, so I guess it’s not as good as the 80s stuff but hey, lesser New Order from the early 2000s is better than most dance-rock music of the time period. Remember kids, we didn’t always have LCD Soundsystem and The Yeah Yeah Yeahs! In my day we had to walk seven miles in the snow, uphill both ways, just to hear a snippet of something that might one day be considered “dance punk!” And we liked it!

Baby Ford
Fetish (Mainmix)
Fetish (Eons Alternative Mix)
Fetish (Subway Mix)
Fetish (8AX Mix)
Fetish (Minimal Mix)
I’m not exactly sure what makes this track exactly “fetish” worthy. The lyrics are vaguely sexual, but lack any hardcore BSDM or other kinky themes. Not bad though. If you want a really dirty track called Fetish I suggest you listen to Joan Jett’s – that song is so horny it might hump you.

Aphrodite
Heat Haze
This is the B-side to a track called “Ganja Man.” That song is incredibly annoying, thankfully this one is not. A version of this track also appears on the Aphrodite album Aftershock, but that version is about two minutes shorter than this one, so enjoy the extended dnb. If anyone out there is late to the game and is looking for some quality dnb by Aphrodite I cannot recommend his 1999 mix Urban Jungle strongly enough, it’s probably my second favorite mix of all-time, right behind Fatboy Slim’s On The Floor At The Boutique – which has the best mix of “Apache” in the history of awesome.

Euphoria
I Like Noise (The Vagabond Mix)
Genocide (The Original Mix)
Genocide (The Deliberate Mix)
Euphoria has to be the most obvious name ever for a for an early-90s rave act. “Guys, my music will make you euphoric! Like ecstasy does! Aren’t a fucking genius!” Sigh. Seems appropriate then that these tracks are very standard 90s acid house, complete with a myriad of samples you’ve no doubt heard before. Despite my relentless bashing I still like them, sometimes you want big dumb techno.

The Ramifications of Pissing off John Denver

Thursday, September 24th, 2009

If you’re a longtime reader of this blog you know that I’m a resident of the glorious city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. You probably also know that I hate people.

As you may or may not know the G20 Summit is in Pittsburgh today and tomorrow. In addition to the leaders of the free world descending on my wonderful city, a lot of hippie dippie douchebag protesters are taking up shop as well. This is my warning to all those twats; you start shit I’m going to find you and beat you to death with a 12” Sigue Sigue Sputnik single.

Keep my city cool you bastards.

Now, music.

New Order
Run 2
MTO
Regret (Fire Island Mix)
Regret (Junior Dub Mix)
Regret (New Order Mix)
It’s been too fucking long since I got a good New Order post in. But this shit is confusing, so pay attention because this will be on the exam. And I will disclaim in advance that I got all this information from Wikipedia and a New Order fan page, so I’m not entirely sure of its accuracy.

New Order’s 1989 album Technique has a song on it called “Run.” When released as a 12” single, the band opted to use a remix instead, which was called “Run 2.” Apparently John Denver thought this version swiped from “Leaving On A Jet Plane” (I do not hear that AT ALL) and he was pissy about it, suing the band. The single was never re-released. Various releases since then claim to have the 12” version of “Run 2″ on them, but they apparently do not. This is the original 12” version of the song. I am not including the 12” version because it is included on the bonus disc to the 2008 re-release of Technique, and that album is bad-ass, you should buy it.

On a side note, how did John Denver’s people come across the 12” single to “Run 2?” I doubt there was a big overlap in the fan bases at the time.

But wait, there’s more confusion! (Yes, I know “Confusion” the name of a New Order song, that’s why I said it.)The b-side to said legal clusterfuck was “MTO” which may or may not stand for various things. On the previously mentioned deluxe version of Technique it is included as a bonus track – or is it!? Actually the “Minus Mix” is included, however, it is labeled as the regular version!

There is no additional insanity to report when discussing the 12” for “Regret” other than the strange fact that it’s the highest charting New Order track in America. Odd. Oh, and the New Order mix is bad-ass.

I’m on a pretty solid 80s kick this week thanks to a pretty good pickup from Jerry’s Records this week. Hopefully I can get one more post in tomorrow night.

Hopped Up On Goofballs

Friday, April 17th, 2009

So I broke/tore/snapped/fucked up a joint in my ribs by lifting an aquarium. I didn’t even know my ribs had joints. Regardless, that hurt a lot. But I’m flying high tonight thanks to painkillers.

This post is brought to you by Vicadin, the letter “H” and the number “pink.”

Woah, I think this shit is starting to kick in. I better make this quick.

Quick note too, I’m still looking for some good blogs, so please share any links you have (that’s not to say the links submitted weren’t good, I just haven’t looked at them that much yet). And contray to what shitstains out there may think, posting a link to your own blog isn’t trolling. Being a little moron and picking fights is though.

New Order
Here To Stay (Felix Da Housecat’s Extended Gltiz Mix)
Here To Stay (Scumfrog Dub Mix)
This is not a cover of th Korn “classic” (although that would have been wrong/AWESOME), instead its a track New Order released for the soundtrack to 24 Hour Party People, a movie about Factory Records. Makes sense. The track was produced by The Chemical Brothers, and has a definite house vibe to it, especially the remixes, big beats abound.

Breakfast Club
Expressway To Your Heart (The Shep Pettibone Mix)
The band Madonna was in before she was Madonna. They never released anything with that version of the line-up. This is a cover of the Philly Soul classic originally released by The Soul Survivors back in the 60s. This remix is from a 12” single and it takes what was already an 80s-tarded update of the tune and rockets it to mega80starded proporations. Yes, I said 80s-tarded, I just invented it. I’m gonna copyright that shit.

Madonna
Human Nature (Runway Club Mix)
Human Nature (I’m Not Your Bitch Mix)
Human Nature (Bottom Heavy Dub)
And here’s Madonna, I didn’t even plan that synergy, it just kind of happened. I think. I don’t remember. I think I should go lay down.

Random Blog Post (GO STEELERS)

Monday, January 12th, 2009

Okay Destrukto, I have a rule. If you’re going to post a series of links then you have describe what the fuck they are. I’m not downloading random files of the interweb, and I don’t suggest anyone else here does either. And who the hell is Sylvia? That comment is all kinds of confusing you little bastard.

Anyways, I hope everyone had a lovely weekend. Mine was shit, but the Steelers won so it wasn’t all bad. I said before that if you’re a racist/sexist/homophobic asshole you can’t download my songs, but I forgot to add Ravens fans to that list. If you rock purple jerseys and live in Baltimore I don’t want you rocking out at my online synthpop dance party.

Don’t piss me off mofo, or I’ll send Pacman Jones after you. You can pay him in strip club cover charges, it’s cheap.

Depeche Mode
Just Can’t Get Enough (Schizo Mix)
Any Second Now (Altered)
Leave In Silence (Longer)
Master And Servant (Slavery Whip Mix)
I promised more Depeche Mode and I finally delivered. Thse are from the awkwardly-titled promo 2XLP single “Selections From The Commercially Available Limited Edition Box Sets One and Two,” so you can probably imagine that they are also available on those previously plugged box sets. I have two of those box sets and I can tell you that they are worth the money.

New Order
Blue Order Mega-Mix 1
Blue Order Mega-Mix 2
Bootleg megamixes! From a 12” single called “Blue Order.”

BONUS
Bonus Bronski Beats
The B-side to the Blue Order mixes, and if you haven’t figured it out yet it’s a Bronski Beat megamix.

Big Country
Wonderland (Extended Mix)
Giant
All Fall Together
Angle Park
Heart And Soul
Lost Patrol (Live)
I put up the tracks from the German version of this one a long time ago, but now I got the Japanese version and instead of just putting up the bonus tracks from that version, I’m reposting the whole thing since my recording equipment is a shitload better and thse rips sound a hell of a lot cleaner. The title track and “Lost Patrol” are re-recorded reposts, but “All Fall Together”, “Angle Back,” and “Heart And Soul” are brand new to Lost Turntable. The only one that is a flat-out repost is “Giant,” it’s not on the Japanese single, but it’s an awesome instrumental version of “All Fall Together” so I thought it was worth the redundancy.

April Fool’s Repost

Tuesday, April 1st, 2008

Yay, it’s April. I hate April. It’s a very long story that involves my broken leg, me getting robbed at gunpoint, my parent’s divorce and a severe reaction to Penicillin (not all at once) so I really don’t want to get into it. Let’s just say that I try to hide in my basement most of the month.

Now, on a much more upbeat note here are some more reposts (and one new song) for all you beloved fans of mine. I’m kind of tired right now so I apologize for what will surely be very sloppy writing.

Electronic
Get The Message (Extended Mix)
Free Will (Extended Mix)
Get The Message (DNA Groove Mix)
Get The Message (DNA Sin Mix)
Gangster (FBI Mix)
The first four of these are reposts, while “Gangster” is a new one. I got this remix off of a “Art Of Mix” 12” single. Art Of Mix was a remix service that provided (paying) DJs with remixes of hot club tunes. You can find out more about them here. If anyone has more of them and is willing to share I’ll be eternally grateful and give you a cookie.

New Order
Sister Ray (Live)
Fine Line (Dub “Fine Time” Mix)
Fine Time (Silk Mix)
Fine Time (Messed Around Mix)
Shellshock (Extended Remix)
These are nothing but reposts, for I have already completely exhausted my New Order collection. That makes me sad. These remixes were ripped awhile ago when I was still trying to master the process, so they aren’t as clear as most of the stuff I put up now. For that I apologize, but I don’t feel like digging through my crates tonight. They still sound good enough. I also want to mention that “Shellshock” is one of my all-time favorite New Order songs and if you haven’t heard it you should download this version – it is the shizzle.
