feel good roboto (gorillaz vs styx)

good morning! ok so last night i was dancing on a chair - and trust me right now there's no dancing going on over here...i'm feeling ok but a few more hours of sleep would do me right but alas i need to carry on and deal with today! one thing thats helping me perk up this morning is DJ paul v.'s latest mashup selection - gorillaz is one of my favorite bands - and their song 'feel good' mashes perfectly together with 'mr. roboto' - check it out below while i go take two aspirin! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo! FROM DJ PAUL V.OK kids, strap yourself in for some major cheese and a big smile. What do you get when you mix a 2K's cartoon band (Gorillaz) with an 80's hit-making machine who thought recording a concept album would be a good idea? Well, someone out there did, because 'Mr. Roboto' from Styx reached #3 on the charts back in 1984 and it remains a pseudo kitsch classic. Props to Seattle DJ Victor Menegaux for this excellent future-retro grin. † listen to Victor Menegaux- Feel Good Roboto [.mp3 7.4mb] † Enjoy! - DJ Paul V.

a smalltown monday solution - mashup!

good morning! thankfully i'm feeling a lot better than yesterday - and this latest mashup selection from DJ paul v. has helped kick my ass into high gear this morning - it's a lovely blend of some nifty musical ingredients - please enjoy the track below - and let's all keep in mind tomorrow is friday - almost time for the weekend! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo! † FROM DJ PAUL V.This past Friday March 7th marked the 25th anniversary of the release of the biggest selling 12" single of all time: Blue Monday by New Order. Did you know it was inspired by both Sylvester and Donna Summer? It's been covered by Orgy & Nouvelle Vague, and M.I.A. & Rihanna both sample it on their latest records. It has inspired countless electronic bands and artists, and I bet you've probably danced to it 1000x or heard it as many - and I bet you still love all 7+ minutes of it. It's also been mashed countless times - most famously by Kylie Minogue - but this latest mix by DJ Copycat is truly extra special. It features Bronski Beat and a band called Superbass, all coalesced in a sublime and gorgeous blend. † Listen to DJ Copycat - A Smalltown Monday Solution [.mp3 9.4mb] † Enjoy! - DJ Paul V.

junior senior's show at the roxy!

good evening! i'm so happy today is almost over - gosh it was another long day dealing with the daily grind! on wednesday night i headed down to the roxy (quickly becoming my favorite LA venue) to check out the junior senior show - i arrived pretty early since i was told the opening band gravy train was a must-see! i thought they were just semi-decent yet perfect for an opening act to get everyones' juices flowing - although they were supposed to come on at like 9pm - it wasn't till after 10pm when they took to the stage... i did develop a small crush along w/ my pal sam on band member hunx - gosh he was way cute! luckily i landed in the roped off section and was able to grab a seat with sam and catch up on all the latest happenings - i also ran into my pal thairin smothers from world of wonder who graciously allowed me to post his pictures below - plus i saw my pal charlie and met his way cool friend who i'll call ms. butterscotch for now (she knows who she is...) we ran outside after the opening act to smoke a few cigarettes and it was a totally crazy scene on sunset blvd - we met this one dude who was so damn drunk - he tried to pocket my lighter and then almost got hit by a car - oh good times! i'd say it was about 11:30pm when junior senior finally took to the stage - by that time i had my fill of whiskey sours (yes i know it's a pussy drink) and i was so ready to get my dance on! and boy did i ever - they ripped through most of their new album (well new to the states) hey hey my my yo yo mixed with a few of their older tracks! oh my word - they fucking kicked ass live!!! i wasn't sure what to expect but they had our main boys junior & senior plus five other band members playing all the music live (there were no turntables in sight) i totally let loose and really enjoyed myself - especially when they played their huge hit don't stop the beat - the crowd was totally feeling them - by the end people were jumping on stage left & right - i'd guess about 50-60 p
