I’m drinking from a tiny bottle of whiskey, which makes me feel even more giant than I already am. One day I’m just going to get wasted and walk around Tokyo whilst vocalizing the Godzilla theme.
Wait, I think that already happened.
Anyway, hey Halloween is coming up! And I actually have some spooky scary songs planned so stay tuned for that. In the meantime, here’s some synth-pop and hip-hop.
Depeche Mode
Suffer Well (Tiga Dub)
According to my relatively in-depth and well-organized cataloging system, I haven’t posted a Depeche Mode track on this site for over two years. That blows my mind. Used to be that this site could’ve been named “That MP3 Blog that Posts Erasure, Depeche Mode and New Order.” Eventually it just got hard to keep that up as A) Depeche Mode finally started releasing their old remixes digitally and B) Look, you seriously have no clue how much Depeche Mode I posted. It was a lot. Seriously.
I still have some honest-to-goodness rare Mode on this hard drive somewhere, maybe someday I’ll get around to posting it. This remix is from a 12″ single. It’s got a good beat.
Sir Mix-A-Lot
One Time’s Got No Case (Bass Mix)
One Time’s Got No Case (Instrumental)
I bought this last year when I was visiting my mom in Oregon. I think 90% of all Sir Mix-A-Lot records currently in circulation can be found in the Pacific Northwest. I like to imagine that Mix-A-Lot himself hawks some off to second-hand shops whenever he’s short on cash. Of course, that’s probably not often right now thanks to the mad “Anaconda” bucks he has to be pulling in.
I really hate that song. But the last time I ranted about that I got called a sexist racist. So let’s move on and discuss Swiss electronic music.
Yello
Live At The Roxy  N.Y. Dec ’83
I’m going to be real and admit that I know absolutely nothing about this. My knowledge of Yello is limited almost entirely to “Oh Yeah,” because even I can’t know everything about every electronic act from the early 80s. I’m sorry. Maybe once I’m done exhuming forgotten Japanese 80s music I’ll move onto Europe. I assume this is some sort of medley, but I really couldn’t tell you. It’s fucking weird though, I can say that much.
I really like it. Shit, does this mean I have to start buying Yello albums?
Hey did anyone ever do a Yellow Magic Orchestra/Yellow mash-up? The could’ve called it Yello Magic Orchestra. This shit writes itself. Someone combine “Behind The Mask” with “Oh Yeah.”
