BAM!! the hot new shit!!!

what we learned from "In Rainbows"

The new massive attack album is available for pre-sale. The vinly edition costs £ 30.00!! that's over fifty dollars for us americans. You can pre-order 'Heligoland' at thevinylfactory.com where you can also buy ridiculously expensive records by air, monkey, xx and hot chip to name a few.

taking a page from Radiohead, Massive Attack as decided to only offer this one vinyl edition. No $12.99 100gram disc in traditional jacket, and why? because vinyl enthusiasts are much more into the hobby of collecting than mp3 hoarders. It's not only important for us to have a physical copy, but we specifically want that limited edition collectible - 180gram - foil printed - gate fold, with an additional 12" and free download... (whether we can afford it or not.)

and that's the problem, sometimes we cant. $50 bones is whole lotta paper to be dropping on a brand new record. And it's a little frustrating they don't have a more afordable vinyl option. After all a good record player only costs $100. To put things in pespective, letting go of fifty bones for a record is sort of like spending $5,000 to fill up your car, but it comes with a free car wash.

At least at the end of the day Radiohead did release a simple and affordable copy of 'In Rainbows,' though i had already emptied the coffers for the limited edition version which is stored (entombed in plastic) and rarely, if ever, sees the light of day. I like special editions, but i also like dj'ing and podcasting. Do you think i'm going to bring a fifty dollar record to the club? Hell no! And yet, i hardley ever spin cds, and i never spin mp3's, so basically, while Massive Attack has offered a beautiful and collectible presentation of their latest sonic offerings, they have done so at a price point which will cause it's exclusion from my set, which (podcast and dj sets combined) prevents a couple thousand people a month from hearing the music.

here's my suggestion, if you are going to sell me a fifty dollar record for my collection, can you include a cheappy disc i can play out, with out fear of capitol losses?

Gorillaz - Stylo Remix

i remixed the new gorillaz single. it's called 'stylo' and it hasn't been officially released yet, but it's from the album "Plastic Beach" due out latter this spring. i made this remix with just the leaked mp3 and my micokorg xl.

you can check all the little vignettes i made the video with on the gorillaz home page.

the video is landing high from the aol video link.

*****update: i had to remove the link to the mp3, because google send me an email saying they were worried it might be copyright infringement. but fear not, i doth not think they would notice a text link: anelect.com/analog/Gorillaz-Stylo(Nsok-Remix).mp3

copy and past ya'll!

straight encoding digital dopeness

i've been spinning vinyl for a few years now, and i almost totally forgot about all the great music i have on cd. Here are some of the records i ripped to my computer today: Marumari "ballad of the round ball", Diplo "Florida", Amon Tobin "Permutations", Jaga Jazzist "animal chin ep"

My cd collection tears apart the notion of depth my extensive vinyl collection garners, and does so in a fraction of the space. I might have to pull a couple of these digital bangers from the archives for an upcoming 5signs podCAST.

coachella announced.
