Dr. Manhattan Will Own Your Sh!t

I hope everyone has gone and seen the Watchmen movie. I saw the midnight showing and made it through the hot sweaty 3 hours without passing out, unlike the guy I was sitting next to who was out cold an hour in, occasionally waking for the explosions/extreme sex scenes. I have to admit that at times I thought the movie moved too slowly, but it was partly due to the fact that I knew what was going to be said. Either way, watching New York get nuked was epic.

I'm currently in the KRUI studio live playing some of the newer tracks I've stumbled upon recently. If you're reading this and it's before 4 AM you can listen to me streaming live here.

Set List:
Prodigy - Ghost Town
Fat Joe mash - Lean On Me
Breakbot - Happy Up Here
Radiohead - Knights of Cydonia (Ocelot remix)
Russ Chimes - Solid Gold
Siriusmo - The Rat Race
50 Cent - In Da Club (Disco Villains remix)
Verructke Welt - Mad World
Empire Of The Sun - We Are The People (Jimmy2sox remix)
Lupe Fiasco - Daydreamin'
Crookers - Big Money Comin'
Simian Mobile Disco - Hustler (A-Trak remix)
Revolte - Ironical Sexism (Grum remix)
Daft Punk - Human After All

I'll be posting a new live set available for download soon!

New Set, New Remix

My friends from Barrington formed a new band recently that's been receiving quite a bit of positive attention. Mike Sanfillippo, the lead singer, recently made it to the top 50 round on American Idol, and the band has been featured on the NY Times as well as The Next Big Sound. Mike recently asked me if I could try remixing one of their tracks, Saving Seconds. I'm not fully satisfied with my remix yet, but you can hear it in the set I posted today at about 13 minutes in. Their band is Bright Like Japan and I would recommend checking out their Myspace.

Recorded a new live set earlier today with a lot of new tracks I've had stuck on repeat. I'm currently in love with Yuksek, especially the track Extraball on their first album, Away From The Sea, released February 2nd. I'd definitely check out the album as it features other great artists like Chromeo and Sh!t Disco. You'll hear Extraball, Saving Seconds, and many other new tracks in my latest live set, 2-26-09

Track List:

125/A - KOS - Azteca
128/A - MGMT - Kids (Soulwax remix)

Comments appreciated :D

Legalization Legislation!

Assemblyman Tom Ammiano of California will announce legislation on Monday to legalize marijuana and earn perhaps $1 billion annually by taxing it. Ammiano's proposed bill "would remove all penalties in California law on cultivation, transportation, sale, purchase, possession, or use of marijuana, natural THC, or paraphernalia for persons over the age of 21." That would bring in roughly $1 billion for the state, according to estimates made by marijuana advocacy organizations. source

I was going to play this set on-air, but as I was in a rush to burn the mix my piece of sh!t CD burner didn't write correctly. Either way, it's up for download free here:

Enjoy, and if you are looking for any one song in particular I would recommend using elbo.ws to search for it, most are available for download.

It has begun

Kage's music blog is officially up and running, w00t!1
