If Drop Dead Fred mated with a Michel Gondry short they’d defs birth this alternate version of Kid Cudi’s music video for “Pursuit of Happiness”. Watching this not only gave me a new appreciation for Kid Cudi as a lyricist, it also gave me vertigo!
Directed by Brody Baker, produced by Josh Hartnett and Alex Orlovsky. Peep the OG video here.
Those who look too closely at their favorite band’s MySpace top friends are already well aware of the Ratatat x Despot chemistry, but in the famous words of the 90s, “SHOW ME THE MONEY!”
Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you Ratatat for matching if not topping my favorite hip hop hits of this year (Paper Route Gangstaz & Hollywood Holt w/ Mikey Rocks) with one of your phattest beats…and it didn’t even take gun shots or wildcats to rise high (if you catch my drift)! Look out for the track on the forthcoming Def Jux Presents 4 compilation and keep an eye out for new Kid Cudi tracks. Why? Because Ratatat has that shit on lock.
Now for the track… Queens rapper Despot delivers some of his quickest and most inspired verses complemented by a beat that plays bread like butter. Reflecting the natural beauty of the sea swallowing a ship and all of its sea men – don’t get the wrong idea – these four minutes sweeter than any I’ve had in some time, now you can get the wrong idea, serve as an incredible introduction for Despot and likewise Ratatat. Just another example of hip hop coming down under to chill with our ears, holla to Power 106!
Despot – Look Alive (produced by Ratatat)
BNS (my fav low-key hip hop tracks this year)
Paper Route Gangstaz – Keyshia Cole
Hollywood Holt – This Shit Is Easy (feat. Mikey Rocks and Dude Royal)
Prodigy tells it like it is, real talk dawg. “I’m paranoid, and it’s not the weed. In my rear view mirror, these cars, they follow me.” I won’t divulge my relationship with Mobb Deep’s music, but Prodigy’s “Mac 10 Handle” has been a favorite tune of mine for the last year or so.
Mobb Deep – The Gold
Mobb Deep vs Ray Parker Jr – Ghostbusters Got It Twisted (DJ Ayres Remix)
Imagine boarding a train in the center of a city. No racing to an airport and across a terminal, no delays, no sitting on the tarmac, no lost luggage, no taking off your shoes. (Laughter.) Imagine whisking through towns at speeds over 100 miles an hour, walking only a few steps to public transportation, and ending up just blocks from your destination. Imagine what a great project that would be to rebuild America. (via the pres)
Transportation. This is the latest graphic representation of the nation’s proposed high-speed rail corridors that have been the talk of the town since Obama showed his support at a press conference yesterday. I’m pumped to see how this plan develops, especially when it comes to keeping it green and economical. Maybe Obama should hit up Prodigy for some high speed railing advice?
IMEEM and FADER have created quite the interesting contest. Design any type of Ratatat Merch and win a customized bike? Dope. Contest rules here. I want to see some beer cozies, jellybeans, a new era fitted, or highlighters. If you take my ideas and win, then I call the ride on Fridays.

Ladies and gents, you may not know it just yet, but a script has just been flipped. You see, Animal Collective have been remixed plenty, but they themselves have never remixed anybody under their, er, collective title.
Pitchfork, May 5, ‘08
We have been waiting for this remix now for just over eight months. I’ve mentioned it on the blog, in conversation and the question of ‘where is Deakin?’ has been just as haunting. As you can see, Animal Collective remixed Ratatat’s “Mirando” a while back, but what’s really up is that the duties were held down by Deakin – hence, what he has been doing while his bros were getting down on MPP. The remix, as you will hear from every other blog, is a nearly ten minute experimental dance epic. Complete with a sense of distance, texture and time this not only complements the release of MPP but is a friendly reminder of how stunning LP3 is. Undoubtedly one of the most angelic remixes that I’ve ever heard, Deakin has not only raised the bar for ‘09, but has definitely created a new genre for the popular remix; he has amplified a future sans mashup or banger, one that Pantha du Prince has spent a career fine tuning. Congrats Josh, you’re amazing.
Mediafire is temporarily down for maintenance, so the MP3 is courtesy of Gorilla vs Bear. I’ll upload ours when MF is up.
Ratatat – Mirando (Animal Collective Remix)
The 12″ version will be released soon on XL. I can not even begin to describe how awesome this will sound on vinyl, I heard LP3 on vinyl for the first time this weekend and my mind has been blown. Order it here.
Hey guys and gals, I thought that it would be nice to share the top five albums that I’ve been jammin’ out to this summer and hopefully Cameron and Sophie will follow with similiar posts. Now if I didn’t party too hard all summer then I’d have the good sense to say that Air France, Talkdemonic and Syclops are my top three summer albums, but unfortunately I don’t so you’ll have to wait until the end of the year to see those babies again.
5. My summer began with an obsession over L.A. based band, Pocahaunted. Their dark and primal sounds remind me of an earlier less-poppy Animal Collective and I’m a big fan of slow progressions when there are haunting vocals involved. I’m honestly a little confused when it comes to records that Pocahaunted has either released or appeared on, so I’m going to call upon their entire discography for this one.
Pocahaunted – Sweat Lodge
4. Who can deny The Cool Kids their Bake Sale kumuffins? Certainly not me. I was lucky enough to catch Mickey and Chuck at The Key Club in early June – just a month after catching the guys at Coachella – and I’ve been dropping lyrics in conversation just to make myself “A Little Bit Cooler.”
The Cool Kids – A Little Bit Cooler
3. After an intense reclusive period in my life where all I did was talk about and listen to Animal Collective, what better way to ease back into a normal social world then to dive head first into El Guincho? None, that’s what. If you haven’t hopped on the train yet, it just arrived at the station for ya. El Guincho’s smooth spanish stylings will without a doubt make their way into all of your summer playlists, and with great timing as usual our pals over at The Hood Internet have posted a kick-ass mash of El Guincho and Pitbull.

2. I love Ratatat. I always have and, unless I hear that they’re fucking underage girls like so many others, I always will. LP3 easily makes it onto my list of albums that everyone needs to party to this summer.
Ratatat – Black Heroes
1. As a guy that has DJ’d enough parties to understand the highs and lows I’ve gotta shoutoutoutout to the biggest crowd pleaser around, Girl Talk. Feed the Animals has been in my car non-stop since its release a couple of weeks ago and I’m absolutely loving every second of it. If you haven’t already, download the entire album for FREE off of his MySpace.
Girl Talk – No Pause
So there it is! I couldn’t be more excited to hear more music coming from Esau Mwamwaya, Clipse and others. I’m also going back and listening to No Age’s Wierdo Rippers in a whole new light. What have you been rockin’ out to this summer?

Well apparently when I wasn’t looking The Cool Kids signed to XL; home of Radiohead, Ratatat, The Teenagers, etc… Anyways, their brand spankin’ new mixtape That’s Stupid dropped earlier TODAY for FREE. Get on it, seriously! The tape is hosted by none other than L.A.’s Mondo Fresco from Power 106. Don’t forget to catch Mikey and Chuck this summer at Rock the Bells in a city near you!

Chris over at Gorilla vs Bear really knows how to get a blog party started; in the mid-year he’s asked many of his friends what they’re favorite album of ‘08 is, it’s no surprise how many responded. Here are just several, you can read the rest and download mentioned MP3’s right here.
Edward Droste, Grizzly Bear:
that’s a no brainer for me! beach house, devotion. I’ve listened to this album since I got it in the fall non stop until now. They rapidly climbed my most played tracks on iTunes to overtake many of my favorite songs. This is the type of music that just grows and ages with each listen in the best way possible. I never tire of it and I’m sure that 10 years down the road I’ll appreciate it as much as I do now.
Bradford Cox, Atlas Sound/Deerhunter:
my album of the year so far would be Animal Collective’s Water Curses EP. I think its really enigmatic. “Cobwebs” might be my favorite thing I’ve heard in the past 5 years. The last song sounds great in your bedroom in the late afternoon with the windows open. The most important band of our generation and I mean that with all sincerity.
Noah Lennox, Panda Bear/Animal Collective:
my favorite album this year (so far) is the erykah badu one called new amerykah: part 1 (4th world war). animal collective was in mississippi in january or so and wed watch a lot of vh1 soul when we werent working on something and for a stretch of a couple of days erykah was always on. sometimes it was a video but one time i saw kind of a performance where she was doing a bunch of new songs and i really liked them and i liked the way she performed them a lot. wed see the honey video all the time and i really liked that and im really psyched that its just an added bonus track on the album. all the songs go together well but theyre also all kind of different. theres something strange that i cant quite put my finger on but all the songs go down easy if you know what i mean. the music feels very personal and real and i like that.
XXXChange, Spank Rock/Fully Fitted:
i dunno if this is super obvious or what but I’ve been super into what i’ve heard of the Lykke Li stuff. the albums not on itunes yet where i get most of my music but i found this one: “I’m Good. I’m Gone” floating around on the internet somewhere. soooooooo good. love the quality of the recording/production too! you can actually hear the room!
also on the subject of girls with cool accents:
http://www.myspace.com/mysoko
her whole thing feels a little twee but her cover of the teenagers “love no” is awesome.
Annie Clark, St. Vincent:
Man Man’s Rabbit Habbits. man, man man own psychosexual dirtdance this album. I love this band…I saw them at coachella and they had b boy painted drums. So cool in my book.
santogold, black lips, jon dahlback, carter 3 (not really), al green – lay it down
Bethany, Pocahaunted:
Vivian Girls, self titled. The songs are so fucking catchy that literally after I listen to them, I am singing them for days. And my dad once told me that you know a song is a hit if it gets stuck in your head. The song “Tell the World” is like the best thing I’ve heard since the Ronettes “I Wish I Never Saw The Sunshine.” I think they’re amazing women, making really fun music. and their harmonies, oh god their harmonies.
i guess as far as 2007 goes–”graduate” by kanye west. kind of fucking amazing. i guess you could count this, because literally i JUST heard this album in it’s entirety like a week ago. that song “flashing lights” is fucking perfect. AND “champion” samples Steely Dan, so dude…seriously.
and then–gotta shout out to my favorite man of all time, my dream husband–the boss. I think that “Magic” is what you’d expect from Bruce at this age, but I still loved it. “Girls in Their Summer Clothes” is about to be the anthem of my summer. This album is no “Greetings from Asbury Park,” but it does the trick, and I’m really proud of my man…
Josh Block, White Denim:
I really love the new Spiritualized record a lot, but it hasn’t had enough time to sink in for me to call it my most listened to record this year. With that in mind, The George Jones Box Set “She Thinks I Still Care” that came out in November of 07 (practically 08 for me) has been in heavy rotation in the player right next to Robert Wyatt’s “Comicopera” that came out one month before it. Both records are just my speed.
Evan Mast, RATATAT:
my favorite so far is easily springwater’s self titled. its an early 70s instrumental album made by a guy named phil cordell in his home studio. loads of guitar layers and beautiful melodies. apparently one of the tracks was a top 5 hit in the UK. somebody recommended this to me saying that it sounded like the 70s version of ratatat – and i have to admit, there’s actually a pretty strong resemblance in some ways. its amazing that i’m only discovering this record now.
Jared Van Fleet, Voxtrot/Sparrow House:
there is an album i’ve been listening to a lot this year, but i guess it’s not new for most people… townes van zandt’s our mother the mountain. for me, van zandt’s songs, performances, and production all reach their apex at the same time with this record. the result is a sound that is at once dark and hopeful, orchestrated and minimal, bitter and sweet. of the lesser-known tracks, check out “second lover’s song”. also, thanks to whoever accidentally left this in my car a few months ago.
Pablo Díaz-Reixa, El Guincho:
my favorite album so far from 2008 is Escuela de Zebras by Joe Crepúsculo. It is a guy from Barcelona who writes amazing lyrics and sings in a very particular way over really good backing tracks made of synths, keyboards, rythm machines and sometimes, guitars. It’s brilliant. From old stuff I’ve been enjoying Totó La Momposina a lot, the first 2 MC Solaar records and listening back again and again to Cinema Transcendental by Caetano Veloso. I saw Animal Collective play last weekend at Primavera Sound and their new songs are SO GOOD. They sounded so perfect and how they sync the lights with the sound, the best. Not also the new songs, but the way they played old stuff that was really clever and inspiring too. The Dirty Projectors were really good too. Beautiful guitar sounds. Also I’ve been listening a lot to a Mad Decent cumbia podcast, some pretty awesome tunes in it. And The Ruby Suns record too, can’t wait to see them play live cause I missed them at SXSW. I don’t know, that is all I can remember from last weeks.
As I stated in the beginning of this post, you can head over to Gorilla vs Bear to read more from Bodies of Water and Love Is All as well as download MP3’s that the artists have mentioned.
