Sometimes I feel incredibly old. This is in fact, such a common gripe on my blog that I should probably change my URL to BrokenOldMan.blogspot.com.
The first entry would look like this:
J/K!
:D
What I mean to say of course, is that my buddy Brian invited me to go see this band Celebration play, and he sent me a link to a track they did that was remixed by Holy Fuck:
Knowing nothing about either band I did some serious internet searching, which means I followed the below time-honored mathematical formula:
IF NOT [myspace.com/bandname],
THEN [myspace.com/bandnamerocks],
OR, FAILING THAT, [myspace.com/bandnamebandname],
OR, RARELY, [myspace.com/therealbandname]
This research yielded the fact that the band is from Baltimore and the remixers are Canadian. My reaction was basically "seriously? Am I literally listening to a Canadian electro-revival act remix a rock song by a band from Baltimore? Shouldn't this song be on the cover of the Fader right now?"
I mean, I guess the song is pretty good, but I feel like all these types of songs basically all sound exactly the same, with a few exceptions. It all comes down to people basically going "hey, have you heard the [Canadian Dance] remix of [Not Canadian Rock Song]? Check it out!"
Also, check it out!
Klaxons - Atlantis (Crystal Castles RMX)
Wolfmother - Woman (MSTRKRFT RMX)
I mean, this video from Holy Fuck's myspace is pretty exciting. Bearded guys twiddling nobs and bobbing their headz! (or, as it will be referred to from now on, BGTNBTHZZZ)
Anyways, ugh. I was trying to download more tracks by Holy Fuck, but apparently on Limewire, the only song/artist that exists with the word "fuck" in it is Tenacious D.

i have their latest album, cleverly titled "LP"....it's decent. nothing earth-shattering.
coincidentally, i have a track from the album on my latest podcast at radiohypno.com. check it out, and hit me on the private tip if you want the whole album.
