I like electronic music. That’s a very superhero-ey thing to like, I suppose, isn’t it? I like avant-garde music in general. Cage, Stockhausen, Penderecki, Andrew Lang, Pierre Henry. Terry Riley is very good. Oh, and I’ve heard some interesting new music from Jamaica…a sort of hybrid between electronic music and reggae. It’s a fascinating study in the new musical forms generated when a largely pre-technological culture is given access to modern recording techniques without the technological preconceptions that we’ve allowed to accumulate, limiting our vision. It’s called dub music. - Adrian Veidt aka Ozymandias
Nerd out with me for a second: I finished reading Watchmen a hot minute ago and it gave me the perfect excuse to throw together some super electronic jams and kick off this week’s end. Boys Noize will be playing at The Mighty in San Francisco on Saturday. I’ll be there. You should come. We can bust out some (polite) superhero dance moves.
A-Trak - Boys Noize Rmx
Miike Snow - Animal (Treasure Fingers Rmx)
Trash80 - Missing You
And then one minute and forty-seven seconds of dub …step dedicated to the antihero-hero himself. If you don’t have a subwoofer + tolerant housemates you may just want to skip over this one.
Lovvvvve Trash 80, he’s playing 8static in Philly next week.
