Having trouble in the morning? Can’t quite get to the bounce-to-the-ounce level that you need to be functional? Kid Dyno’s “Wake Up And Smell The Rave” mix can help you get moving. Any mix that starts with Bach, drops in some Chemical Brothers, Green Velvet, Wang Chung and Technotronic in along with broad variety of electro-influenced nu-rave tracks before ending with a Daft Punk slow jam is guaranteed to make me happy. (Please note that some language in this mix, particularly near the end, may be NSFW.)
If the above tickles your interest, but you’re looking for something with a bit more of a hip-hop flavor, check out Le Greve General’s live set from earlier this month, also over at Trash Menagerie. Nelly Furtado, The Klaxons, Justice, and Armand Van Helden all make appearances in this lively, infectious mix. (Again, NSFW language in this, unless the phrase “Fuck that shit, niggah” is something that gets dropped around the water cooler.)
I keep pondering putting together another ambient mix thing along the lines of this one from 2005. (Why ambient? Because it’s easier than dance music, and I’ve a distinct theme in mind. Mostly the former.) Would that be of interest?

If you were thinking something along the lines of “You know, I’d really like to use an internet auction site to pick up copies of comic books in a deluxe, hardcover format,” then have I got great news for you!

There’s a brand new edition of The Rack up for your enjoyment, if the crushing sound of the universe dying through the voice of an epileptic that hung himself is something you enjoy.

This week sees the debut of Tim Leong’s new magazine, Comic Foundry and after having spent an hour or so kicking it around, I’m giving it a hearty recommendation. While a lot of the people reviewing the magazine’s first issue seem to be focused on what it’s not (Wizard or The Comics Journal,) I think it’s important to focus on what it is, which is a well-thought-out magazine with a just-light-enough touch and a voice that’s perfectly suited for its subject matter of “comics culture.” That said, I do hope that further issues offer longer interviews and commentary on trends and movements that have shaped the medium’s status.

This is “I Found You” by Axwell and Max C. Yes, I love it. No, I don’t care who knows. Yes, it’s in the Box.net widget in my sidebar so you can take it with you.
Angelina plays Fox, a jewel thief who teaches him to be a killer, while Common plays Gunsmith, a professional gunman who teaches people how to use guns.
Well, it’s not like he’d teach them how to use, say, knives and arrows, is it?
