Sorry I disappeared for a minute there. The first excuse was I was out having way too much fun and kind of stopped noticing which day was which, and then the second excuse was I was clinically dead for a few days with some nasty bug. Of course the two occurrences are in no way related. Either way I came out of it roughly resembling Frankie Wilde after his stint in the pillow room, but now I’m back on my grind and ready to speed harder than ever.
I looked things over, and I can’t believe I never wrote anything about Santogold. She’s in with Mad Decent and a lot’s been said. Here’s my Coles Notes: A lot like M.I.A. except her songs are better, and that annoying dude with dreads who lives down the block from you doesn’t think she’s the future hope for humanity.

All these Kylie remixes came out lately. Don’t you love Kylie? Obviously you do. Here’s my favourite one, which is MSTRKRFT taking on “Wow”.
Kylie Minogue – Wow (MSTRKRFT Remix)
My!Gay!Husband!’s got an unhealthy obsession with Feist. Pretty standard edit till about 1:45 when it drops harder than the rain in a popular Christian Slater movie.
Feist – 1234 (My!Gay!Husband! Get Up Kid Edit)
Speaking of unhealthy obsessions, lately I can’t get that Kate Bush song “Running Up That Hill” out of my head. I play it on repeat all day every day. I always hated Kate Bush. I’m going to get this checked out. But in the meantime, check the take Purple Crush did on it; lots of fun and just a touch less likely to leave you questioning everything you thought you knew.

Rest and fluids are important components of any recovery from illness, and I certainly had both in abundance, but I’d give most of the credit to this record which was playing over and over last week because I couldn’t be bothered to put anything else on. This track is a New Orleans classic and it’s always been a favourite of mine. I think I used to throw on a version that a Vancouver DJ, U-Tern, did of it at some of those first dance parties.

i heart kylie and mstrkrft
— Justine, January 30, 2008The only thing I like more than the MSTRKRFT remix is your writing style – anyone referencing Christian Slater deserves big ups.
— David, January 30, 2008I really like your commenting style! A lot of people say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but I’ve always believed that flattery is the sincerest form of flattery. Keep enjoying the music.
— Will, January 31, 2008No no! You should be listening to the Chromatics version of “Running up that hill”. Much much better.
— Brendan, February 1, 2008Always hated Kate Bush? She always seemed really out of place, that’s why I give her major points. Running Up That Hill and Hounds of Love are keepers.
— Daniel, February 3, 2008i LOVE frankie wilde!
