your ability to BS about music is quite stunning I must say.


Actually what he said is fairly accurate. Bach's themes changed a lot about how people listen to music, and western harmony is still based on mostly Bach's work. He was using tritones in the 18th century for crap's sake! And "The Well Tempered Clavier" is possibly the reason we have a piano that sounds good today. Not to mention that Bach was referred to by Beethoven as the "Godfather of Harmony". Interesting stuff...

download SKEET SPIRIT - a crunk tribute to radiohead

1. fitter, hyphier
2. skeet spirit
3. no sizzuruprises
4. the national headbustaz anthem
5. flamboastin' android
6. creepin' (on dat ass)
7. talk show hoes
8. snaps out



torrent for me and this army

"The album starts off with the scorpio-fused breakbeat work-out �Everything in Its Wrong Place� & progresses in to a warped version of Cut Chemist�s Litmus Test remix of Gab�s �Chemical alisthenics.� A remix of a remix I guess. Continuing on the Chemist theme MF Doom�s �Change the Beat� gets thrown in to a blender & comes out as a Jurassic 5 tinged re-working of Radiohead�s semi-obscure �Wicked Child.� The real heat is the �My Iron Lung� remix of Daytona 500. HEAT! PZ�s favorite emcee of all time, Edan, finds himself sharing the same meter as Radiohead in a noisy & lo-fi �Rapperfection� mash up of the �National Anthem� off of Kid A. The CD gets down-right weird when PZ covers �Creep� (the most covered RH song, PERIOD) featuring a robotic like-ness of Fred (its kind of a stretch) from �Fitter Happier.� Chord Organs, theremins, they are all there. A 45 minute sunday morning session in the studio led to a goofy & fun exclusive from Sev Statik (of PCM, Tunnel Rats, & Deep Space 5) going off over a re-working of his favorite RH break from Kid A. Sev even manages to share the same track with Kool Keith as �Optimistic� dissolves in to �Paperbag� & Keith lets loose with his usual banter about pecunious bugs & thugs that perpetrate. Two �Hail to Thief� Native Tongue remixes are next on the list & De La�s �Itsoweezee� becomes a completely different animal. An instrumental of PZ�s re-worked �No Suprises� ends off the originals set & the album finishes with three instrumentals that are best utilized by rhyming over in the shower."

01. Everything In Its Wrong Place
02. Idioteque Calisthenics (ft. gift of gab & cut chemist)
03. Change The Beat - MF Doom (pz wicket child remix)
04. Daytona 500 - Ghostface (panzah zandahz iron lung remix)
05. Rapperfection - Edan (ft. mr. lif. national anthem mash-up)
06. At Ease
07. Creep (ft. fred from fitter happier)
08. Me & This Army (ft. sev statik & a shitty mic)
09. D.D.T. - Kool Keith (panzah zandazh paperbag remix)
10. Itsoweezee - De La Soul (pz i will remix)
11. How Ya Want It - Jungle Brothers (pz punchup remix)
12. No Surprises (none at all really)
13. Sooo Tired
14. You & What Army
15. Planet Telex Loop
16. Paranoid Android

One of my grade 4 students said "Teacher, my favorite band is Radiohead". Ok, he is a smart kid but if you are a favorite of a 4 year old then you arent as artsy as you think.


Don't underestimate the kid's ability to sort through the mediocrity to find a few gems. For example, I loved Mozart, Pink Floyd, and Neil Diamond when I was a little kid.
