Pretty Lights DJ Producer Will Make You Move

By George
If Soundtribe Sector 9 -- aka STS9 -- and Girl Talk had a child, Pretty Lights would be it. Out from Colorado, this DJ/Producer is capable of making some seriously dance-able beats while mixing hypnotic rythms with sound bites from Hip Hip hits and soul classics creating nothing short of a sonic masterpiece.

Go on and turn it up, you won't regret it. I promise


If you're like me and can't get enough of Pretty Lights, check out his entire iClips live performance at the Loyal Earth Festival on 4/20/09.  Make sure to check out track 12!

Looking to download full Pretty Lights albums? Right on the Pretty Lights Home Page, friend. The fact that his music is free is a great example of how artists should market themeselves these days. An artist's music is like their ad. I heard Pretty Light's ads and I'm sold -- I will see & support him any time he comes around. And since he won't be around my neck of the woods in the near future, his appearance at Bonnaroo this summer pushed me onto the "I'm Going" side of the fence.

GO SEE LIVE MUSIC!

Check him out on MySpace & Facebook.  
And while you're at it, why not fan and follow The HighLife too?

Demetri Martin is probably one of the funniest comedians today (at least out of those who speak in English).  Along with his new show, Important Things with Demetri Martin, he has had numerous TV specials, one titled "IF I" in particular. I have compiled a playlist of the 6 part series for your funny bones. Happy St. Patty'd Day - enjoy.


Demetri's Palindrome (can be read forwards and backwards):

 

 

"Dammit I'm Mad"
by Demetri Martin

 

 

Dammit I'm mad.
Evil is a deed as I live.
God, am I reviled? I rise, my bed on a sun, I melt.
To be not one man emanating is sad. I piss.
Alas, it is so late. Who stops to help?
Man, it is hot. I'm in it. I tell.
I am not a devil. I level "Mad Dog".
Ah, say burning is, as a deified gulp,
In my halo of a mired rum tin.
I erase many men. Oh, to be man, a sin.
Is evil in a clam? In a trap?
No. It is open. On it I was stuck.
Rats peed on hope. Elsewhere dips a web.
Be still if I fill its ebb.
Ew, a spider… eh?
We sleep. Oh no!
Deep, stark cuts saw it in one position.
Part animal, can I live? Sin is a name.
Both, one… my names are in it.
Murder? I'm a fool.
A hymn I plug, deified as a sign in ruby ash,
A Goddam level I lived at.
On mail let it in. I'm it.
Oh, sit in ample hot spots. Oh wet!
A loss it is alas (sip). I'd assign it a name.
Name not one bottle minus an ode by me:
"Sir, I deliver. I'm a dog"
Evil is a deed as I live.
Dammit I'm mad.

Israeli Musician Kutiman Releases YouTube Video Mashups

By George
"Israeli musician Kutiman has taken hundreds of YouTube samples - often non-musical ones - and turned them into an album that’s awesome on so many levels that it leaves you stunned. First of all, the music is good; really good, especially if you’re a fan of Ninja Tune’s catalog. Secondly, it’s amazing to see all those unrelated YouTube bits and pieces fit together so perfectly. Kutiman, whose self-titled debut received high praise from sites such as Pitchfork Magazine, proves that any sound can be music if you know what to do with it." - Mashable.com
