Hey, know it’s a little late, but here is the Tuesday mash-up. Ever since I talked to a friend about mashing up a metal song with hip-hop by slowing it down, I couldn’t resist. As a matter a fact, it doesn’t take an expert to dissect this track, and the metal song didn’t have to be slammed in with much difficulty. Still, even though it’s a little rough, I’ve been working on it all day. I present to you Slayer vs. Ludacris vs. TV on the Radio vs. Zodiac Cartel, with “Raining Back.”
Radiohead is my favorite band ever. I will try to keep this post short and simple because when I start talking about Radiohead, I DON’T STOP. Anywho… This weekend they will be performing at Lollapalooza and in Indianapolis (well, actually Noblesville) @ the Verizon Wireless Music Center Indianapolis and they are going to sexually please many ears. SO MANY EARGASMS!!!111 I have been blessed to see them live previously and lemme tell ya, they are the best. Thom Yorke will melt your face. I don’t think any other band has put me through a series of emotions just in one show. To those who will be seeing Radiohead: Be prepared and bring an extra set of underwear, you will wet yourself!
Hi Kids, welcome to the first ‘Mixtape Monday’ on ‘My Pleasure, Miss’ (or MMOMPM), this is Mayowa and I’ll be sharing Mondays with: St Juice, a reformed gangbanger turned preacher/rapper, other MPM writers, and readers who want to contribute (shoot me an email at: mayowatomori@hotmail.com).
The Mixtape
In 2004[ish], The Raveonettes, Futureheads, and other legitimately weird bands were making solid tunes that even the most marginalized, morose and ostracized could dance along to, groovy music about motorcycle-riding zombies, trite social conventions, interracial lust and other awesome stuff.
Happy middle of summer Saturday. Just wanted to write a quick blog about my pal Austin Henry’s band. They are “the new wet dream”: The Dirty Diamonds. They describe themselves as “dirty doo wop that bumps. Hard,” and simply fucking put, that’s what you get, and it proves to sound as promising as the title. Austin Henry’s influences especially come out in their cover of the Weezer classic, “Tired of Sex.” All of their drums are synthetic (in the best way, of course) and are topped by the smooth guitar and bass riffs from Dr. Rash and Austin Henry, respectively. The ladies offer stunning vocals with often humorous lyrics (check out “The Showdown”). They have been doing a great job getting their name out there, and every first Thursday of the month they have already managed to provide a routine that Chi-town music lovers can look forward to: sweatin’ to the oldies with Flosstradamus. Austin and Dr. Rash have also gotten into spinning oldies at their shows as well. They are the new freshness in Chicago, and provide more than just the typical hip-hop and snob indie in the Chicago area.
If you are in Australia, you can still go to this, so fucking do it! They just want to get their word out and they are letting you do it for free. So as R. Kelly once said, tell yo girl to hook it up! Or just hook yourself up.
We are also trying to set up an oldies night in Bloomington with myself and resident DJ Action Jackson. If you are interested in helping with promoting, we’d love it. Thanks everyone.
Good evening bitches. Tuesday, for me, is a day that can sometimes represent the never-ending week of work that lies ahead. Therefore, one of the first additions to this blog will be mash-up Tuesdays, hosted by me! I’ll have at least one jam every Tuesday to pump out, and the first one I’ve got for you suckas is a JAM! To explain briefly, I like how M83’s song “Couleurs” is dark, but still one of the most hard-hitting songs on their album “Saturdays=Youth,” as already hyped by the Whip Dip a few blogs back (and the rest of the blog world). I put the legendary “Thug Luv” by Bone Thugs and 2Pac over it for the intro to try it out, and I knew from then that it wouldn’t fail. It turned out to be a fun track, I think. Like it or leave it.
Have you listened to the radio lately? Sometimes my ears cannot believe what they are hearing.
Example 1
Katy Perry “I Kissed A Girl”
“I kissed a girl and I liked it
The taste of her cherry chapstick
I kissed a girl just to try it
I hope my boyfriend don’t mind it
It felt so wrong
It felt so right
Don’t mean I’m in love tonight
I kissed a girl and I liked it
I liked it“
WTF SRSLY!? I mean I’m all about gay/bisexual/bicurious rights but seriously! Did she honestly have to write a song about kissing a girl and liking it? But dammit, it’s so catchy! I found myself singing along after I heard the chorus for the first time. && She’s hot.
Example 2
Danity Kane “Damaged” Damaged, damaged
Damaged, damaged
I thought that I should let you know
That my heart is
Damaged, damaged
So damaged (so damaged)
And you can blame the one before
Ok, this song just plain sucks. Even MSTRKRFT can’t make it better. I don’t even want to talk about this song because it is the worst song EVARZZZ. Good job Puff Daddy, or P. Diddy, or Diddy or whatever his name is now.
Example 3
Lil’ Wayne “Lollipop” Shawty wanna li-li-li-lick me
Like a lollipop (Hahaha)
She She li-li-li-lick me
Like a lollipop (I say he so sweet
Make her wanna lick the rapper)
She She lick me
Like a lollipop (And She Do)
She lick me
Like a lollipop
(So I let her lick the wrapper)
Ok, as much as I want to bash this song, I love it (I know, I know) along with the 8 year old girls that don’t even understand what Lil’ Wayne means by “lick me like a lollipop.” It’s catchy and don’t even deny that.
—————————————————————
Alright, I could keep adding to this list, like Usher’s “Love In This Club” but he has a nice body so I won’t. tee heez :P Actually, the terrible lyrics make the song better catchy. They stick to your mind and the next time you hear the song somewhere, you find yourself singing along and shaking that booty of yours.
Here’s some REEEEEEMIXes of the songs I talked about.
Download, take your pants off, and sing along.
You love it.
Following a long night of drunken debauchery, nothing is more satisfying than a Grade F meal. Ever tried Frosted Mini Wheats with Ketchup and Mayo? Didn’t think so. French fries marinating in pickle juice? Doubt it. What about those microwaveable “chicken” nuggets that barely resemble any sort of animal? MMMM…my favorite!
No one is safe from those late night cravings, not even our most beloved celebrities.
"KITT, I'ma need you to come pick me up..."
Here are a few simple guidelines to late night nom nomz (in no particular order):
-Keep eyes closed until “food” is formed.
-Never smell what you’re eating
-Never scrutinize the creatures assembling your meal
-Don’t make conversation with the intoxicated individuals sitting next to you unless you want to get into a political debate about how long Laura Bush’s taint hair is (13″ uncurled).
-Choose a entree that is sure to give you diarrhea.
Pitchfork Music Festival is an affordable 3 day music festival that is hosted at Union Park in Chicago. Public Enemy will kick off the festival on Friday night. This should be interesting, I hope New York, Thing 1 and Thing 2 appear on stage with Flava Flav as a back up dancer. Not really, but it would be interesting, fo sho! I just hope Flav’s set is not disastrous as Yoko Ono’s set last year. *fingers crossed* Saturday has more of a indie rock line up including Caribou, Vampire Weekend, !!!, and Animal Collective as the headliner. Sunday is more up my alley, including acts like Cut Copy, HEALTH, Bon Iver. Spoon will wrap up Sunday night as well as the 3 day festival.
According to weather.com, it is supposed to rain Saturday and Sunday. Make sure to bring an umbrella or a garbage bag for all you indie-rawkerz/hipstarz.
One of my favorite albums in recent memory is M83’s “Saturday’s = Youth”. Taking a few pages from his previous albums, Anthony Gonzalez paints the John Hughes-inspired picture of a angst-ridden teens. More importantly, however, he has given the hipster world music to show their significant other (man, woman, or right hand) how they manage to be both hip and sensitive.
The album’s got it all, ranging from the slow, passionate lovemaking of “You, Appearing” to the pulsing rhythm of “Couleurs”. Hell, there’s even the eerily haunting “Skin of the Night” for those that are into the weirder stuff. My personal favorite from the album has to be “Kim & Jessie”, mainly because I had two dogs, Kim and Jessie, and they used to have sex all the time and my dad had to break them up by spraying them with the hose.
M83- Kim & Jessie
I don’t know about you, but when I’m with my special friend (see the plaid androgynous fella above), I like to start things slow and show herhim it that I’m really devoting myself completely to herhim it. What about you? What’s your favorite music to touch another person to? I think this is becoming a weekly column, so more to cum!

Nothing wrong with starting out with shameless self promotion right? As previously blogged, I dj, in the modern sense. It’s all about the digital era with laptops running programs to eliminate the physical effects etc. Since dabbling with ableton last summer, I’ve djed with such fresh cats which include: D.O.B. , Bradley D, Dj Nimz, Sean Kase (aka Skaseii). People usually question the validity of my “djing” because there are no turntables and no vinyl and I think about how successful laptop djs have become and realize that hell.. if you can shake your ass and get down with the beats, does it honestly matter how you hear it?
Lafayette puzzles me sometimes. After the last song (thx Hot Biscuits)had played, an old hippie dude was screaming at me that the music was too loud and the quality was tearing his ears apart. Through my drunkeness and exhaustion, I nodded the entire time while we were packing but really didn’t give two shits what he was talking about. Oh well; constructive criticism shall be taken, right? Psh, he was probably too cracked out to know what was going on.
