4th Quarter Results 2008 Mix by BTreotch


Bumpasaurus was a Bad Motorscooter. An 84' Prelude with three separate amplifiers and two Kicker 10"s - it was loud as fuck. My favorite song to blast was the "Hello Brooklyn" section on the last track of Paul's Boutique, the 12 minute "B-Boy Bouillabaisse." It made black guys jealous. Bumpasaurus would love to get a taste of this mix - it's heavy on beats, from MGMT's indie dance schtick to Diplo/Santogold's Panda Bear remix "Lights Out". I don't know much about the Italian (?) Meg - Distante - she may just be a poor man's Bjork for all I know, but her pulsing album Psychodelice was one of my favorites. Flying Lotus' Los Angeles is a wicked take on instrumental/experimental hip-hop. Tow Waits' left a big mark on Man Man's Rabbit Hands, they made a fun album that borders on ridiculous. Blitzen Trapper and Bon Iver have gotten huge press and made several best-of list's, but it took me awhile to be swayed; Furr is a solid album, but For Emma, Forever Ago is a wonderfully beautiful piece of indie folk.

1. Meg - Distante

Great list! I've recently been digging on the Plants & Animals, some of those others I haven't heard of and will def have to check out. Only one I'm not so sure about is the She & Him, which has made a few top 10's this year, and Paste's #1. I love Zoey D. and M. Ward, and she's got a real nice voice, but that album just didnt do it for me. Maybe I should listen to it a few more times?

You know what album was a big surprise that I wish I would have listened to sooner? The new Erykah Badu. That shit is HOT!

She & Him had two lives for me: initially I was real excited to hear it, but it didn't move me. Her voice is solid, but a few songs wre campy and I was expected more singing from M Ward. Add to that that the best song is a cover. Months went by then my wife starting getting into it, which means she played it A LOT. I had to hide her IPod one morning, but all those plays did win me over to some really good songs that I missed the first few listens.

I've been meaning to listen to Eryka Badu's album again - it didn't strike me on the first listen.

Switch and Graeme Remix of Santogold's "You'll Find A Way" would have rocked Green Oaks Blvd in the Bumposaur.

To bad.

But at least you got to hear "Like a washing machine, I wash the clothes. All the Hoes know, that I'm on the flo'- ho."
