Get It One Two Three
Pink Skull featuring Ghostface Killah, Spank Rock, Amanda Blank, and Plastic Little "Crambodia (Remix)" - Pink Skull's Zeppelin 3 is not a hip hop record, but maybe it should have been given the strength of this remix. It's not just that they get to work with some spectacular guest MCs -- surely we're at the point that anything including Ghostface is going to be at least solid and entertaining -- but that they craft a track that maintains a steady level of "holy shit!" excitement from verse to verse. Who knows, maybe it's because they don't do this all the time, and they can appreciate the opportunity to play with terrific raw material, and can transfer their fanboy enthusiasm to the very sound of the music. It's in the shifting "Apache" shuffle of the beat, it's in the synth buzz, and it's in the way a recurring sample of Ghostface's voice heralds his arrival in the song's climax. They're pretty psyched. (Click here to buy it from Turntable Lab.)
Au "RR Vs. D" - Video treatment: You know those big quasi-anthropomorphic balloons, the ones that are usually out along the road in front of car dealerships? The ones that sorta do a weird hippie/raver dance in the wind? They're called "Air Dancers," and specific models have names like "Fly Guys," "Sky Ticklers," and "Tube Dudes."* Anyway, there should be a field full of these things, and they should be gently swaying around to the first half of this song. When it snaps into the jamboree section, the dancing of the balloon figures should appear very choreographed -- this may be really tricky, but it'd be terrific if it could be done, especially without any digital effects. The motion should taper off with the song until the voices fade, and the balloons fall to the ground. (Click here to pre-order it from Aagoo.)
* Inevitably, one of you has a band, and you either don't have a name yet, or your existing name is awful. Your band has a new name now -- you are TUBE DUDES. Don't let me down by sucking, okay?
Meanwhile, on Fair Game: Goldfrapp came by for a session last week. Unfortunately, you can't download the songs as per usual, but you can hear their lovely stripped-down version of "A&E" at the end of the full segment, which you can find here.
