My Style Is Awesome
Wu-Tang Clan “Wu-Tang Clan Ain’t Nuthin’ To Fuck With” (Bird Peterson Remix) – Bird Peterson’s remix of the Wu-Tang classic is all blunt force, bludgeoning the listener with quick, violent bursts of words from the RZA’s verse and a dynamic, heavy beat that comes closer to the Jock Jams aesthetic than anything from Enter The Wu-Tang. Peterson essentially throws all subtlety out the window and turns the song into four straight minutes of intense, super-concentrated belligerence and deranged swagger. (Click here for Bird Peterson’s MySpace page.)
Jackson Jones “I Feel Good” (Pilooski Edit) – It’s hard to feel entirely present when listening to this track. Nearly every element in the arrangement seems designed to zone you out and make you feel as though you’re just wandering through some half-conscious haze. Psychedelia, vintage electro, disco, funk, dub — it’s all in this mix, but just as in a dream, their characteristics are blurred and somewhat illogical. (Click here to buy it from D*I*R*T*Y*)

Also: As you can see from the banner on the top of this site, the annual WFMU fund raising marathon is currently in progress. I strongly encourage you to donate whatever you can afford to the station — they are 100% listener supported, and do not accept any money from the government or advertisers of any kind. Simply put, there are no other radio stations as progressive as WFMU on the planet. It’s important to support the station as a whole even if you only like a few shows here and there, if just because there really is no other home for a majority of the programming. I strongly encourage you to donate during tonight’s Best Show On WFMU, which airs between 8 and 11 PM EST, and will feature special guest stars Ted Leo and Laura Cantrell. Tom Scharpling, Jon Wurster, and Andrew Earles pour a lot of heart and soul into that show, and if you’re a fan, you really ought to let the station know that you appreciate what they’ve been doing. You don’t need to donate a lot — just $10 would be perfectly fine — but if you pony up $75, you’ll get a nice gift set including a new WFMU t-shirt and an exclusive cd of new material recorded by Scharpling and Wurster featuring Philly Boy Roy and Zachary Brimstead.
