You will be pleased to know that we have selected the winner of our Mis Amigos Remix Contest – make way for Luc, who will receive a one-time pressing on Acetate of his mix signed by the band. Nice one, Luc. We’ve put together a playlist featuring some of our favorite mixes. Listen below, they’re great.
We didn’t forget the designers – the winner of the cover design will be announced next week.
And hey, thanks to everyone who sent in their remix – you guys did a great job, so much so we really had our work cut-out for us in selecting a winner. We want everyone to hear your cool tune – if you haven’t done so, or if you have any other remix or mash-up you want to to hear, share it on Soundcloud. Thanks again, guys.
Alright we’re just about decided on the remixes of Amigos. It was very difficult since a multitude of genius remixers went ahead and got involved. Maybe we’ll announce on Monday.
Well, Denver again. That magical land where there’s no traffic jams. Really. I’ve never been in traffic in Denver.
Anyhoo check this out. This is one of the coolest installations I’ve seen anywhere. This is in the Denver Art Museum.
Heres what it looks like:
And here’s what it does with flash photography:
“Fox Games” by Sandy Skoglund
They’re having an exhibit of 300 rock posters which FatHead and I will be checking out later this month between skiing.
Hey there whoever is reading this, it’s Courtney and I have recently acquired a handheld personal wireless device so I’m going to have Gothman (or whomever) put up anything cool that I run across in my daily wanderings about.
We are going to put up a new website (which is currently under construction) and it will be far simpler to navigate, so for now he will just stick it in the “news” section.
Okay. Yesterday whilst finishing my “Amigos” remix with Jacob, he showed me this:

It reminded me that Bauhaus is indeed my favorite band ever and why. Also that I was the singer for Bauhaus for a few minutes in DC once. I like to call it that cuz it’s funny but really all I did was sing “Bela Lugosi’s Dead” with Daniel, Kevin and David J. which is pretty much the same as when sammy hagar sang for van halen but that we were smart enough to limit it to one song. Ever.
Sorry for the cheap shot, Sammy, but it was just right there, ya know.
Anyhoo.
This next clip is dark, sweet and campy and basically everything I love about old film. the lighting is so beautiful and the story is obviously very sad. Marlene just looks amazing. She actually did have Bette Davis Eyes back when they called them “bedroom eyes”.
Now here’s a quick look at Marlene Dietrich, my favorite female archetype ever:

Incidentally she is also my favorite singer from the 20’s / 30’s era largely because she has a low voice that never gets shrill as many of those old recordings do. btw the movie is called Dishonored.
