Finally I have got last weeks show up now. As usual the original live recording from the station was plagued with problems, but for you dear listener I have re-recorded the mix at home. This is one of the good ones for sure ranging from rap, dancehall, disco, new wave, art-rock, mashup, synth-pop, booty bass, british rock, nostalgia, and ending on melancholic (almost corny) indie pop.

We start off with a couple of decent raps courtesy of the Rub Remix 12"s (Nas, Ludacris and Doug E Fresh followed by classic G Unit) then move into some dancehall / new wave type shit where DJ ABCDEFG puts Sizzla up against Bronski Beat (hollertronix 12" #3), which turns out ridiculously well.

The next four tracks I just thought would be fun to drop in. I only dropped Thriller cause the Skatt Brothers track is going on about creepers walking in the night, and the Jets track followed cause I like how it starts in on "don't call me when the radio cuts off in the middle of your favorite song"

The cut copy track "Stars" is an older one that originally came out on the Supercuts Compilation back in 2002, and has been freshly reissued as the b-side of their Going Nowhere 7" (modular 2006). Followed this by Lindstrom and Prins Thomas' rework of Answering Services "Call me Mr. Telephone" which originally debuted in 1984 on italy's Third Label. This version is currently out on Mantra Vibes' Confuzed Disco Sampler 12" (mantra vibes 2005). The New Young Pony Club ends this part of the set off with tight fit (tirk 2005) and I think they are putting an album out this year, and a new single is on the way shortly.

Now for the goods, Jay Z takes on A-ha and Outkast in DJ crooked's "Papi on Me" (smelly fatso 2005) which is just solid gold, DJ Assault and the Rakes battle of the bassline follows.

Now, Grauzone's "Eisbar" is one of the best songs ever, dating back to 1981, in this track Stephan Eicher talks about how he wants to be a polar bear cause they're used to being lonely, I think. It's in german and my grasp of this language lies in the hands of my German roommate Norman.

Following Eisbar I mashed three six mafia's "Stay Fly" with Zongamin and Jacko, which I think sounds alright.

And now my favorite track of the year so far, is gotta be Kids and Thieves by Roger (mate 2006). This is the Sigils remix of the song, and it is amazing. I don't usually get so hyped on remixes, but this is so good! Roger's current Devoesque vocals are matched by wobbly tempos, outta control rock drum fills, and shit-hot organ mashing. And I think the Sigils are hippies, according to Roger, which is kinda strange cause I never thought hippies could be this rad.

(This is where the melancholy part of the show begins.) And another remix which I really like is Whiteys intrumental mix of Cut Copy's "Going Nowhere" (modular 2006). We follow this by the Split Enz' "Six months in a leaky boat" (another song I have up for "one of the best songs ever" nomination) from back in 1983, and we end the show off with the Semifinalists' "Show the way" (Regal Bear 2005) which comes in a nicely overdone 7" all wrapped up to look like an award at the pony show. Beautiful catchy melodies and optimistic lyrics bordering on the corny side, but sometimes I like it like that. Just try to forget this song while you're pissing away at your job on monday.
