don't call it a comeback

the cred machine rolls hard

trusty host fucked me over. the whole hosting came to a crashing halt at the height of my promotional push. we can't even get a hold of them to retain our website domains. the irony is quite amusing, i must say. if you can do it, tell anyone who read this thing that it's back on the old blogger site temporarily and eventually it will be switched to razorbladerunnerblog.com. and the main cadence weapon site is now here. aight? aight.

next update will be the start of the top 100. when? let's say next monday. and when i say top 100, i fucking damn well mean it. 20 every week day until the BIG 20. that's the promise here at razorblade runner. sorry about the wait.

another promise i can give you is that the boy is playing sxsw (march 15 - 19) in austin, texas and if you're coming, let me know in here so we can up our respective crunkness indexes. the list of performers is here and you will see me at some capacity at these shows:

Animal Collective (Baltimore NY)
Art Brut (London UK)
The Avalanches (Melbourne AUSTRALIA) [HOLY SHIT]
The Brian Jonestown Massacre (Los Angeles CA)
Hot Chip (London UK)
The Juan Maclean (Dover NH)
Man Man (Philadelphia PA)
The New Pornographers (Vancouver BC)
Shout Out Out Out Out (Edmonton AB) [FUCKING RIGHT]
Test Icicles (London UK)

i'm gonna get on the cobra snake, i swear it (no homo).

oh and today and for the rest of this week, your boy is gonna be on the new music on muchmusic, talking about how he wrote for pitchfork and is a rap artist who used to text battle on message boards. ahahahahaha

oh and here's my macleans article:



LET'S ROLL WIT IT:

Uffie - Pop The Glock (SebastiAn Remix)
uffie is absolute trash. trendy bullshit, jentina without the ability (and that isn't even that much, right?), lists M.I.A as an influence, etc. but SebastiAn is a beast from the east and he comes out styling, chopping the drums, from what i can assume from the original, of 'top billin' by audio two and getting very very smash mouth football with it. oh gosh, who is this dude and what is his number (no homo)?

Hystereo - Executive Memo
these dudes are irish and they daft punk it hard on this little number, a siren song that crunks up in very subtle ways, as the genre would imply. the first time i played this, it made me go dumb in my room. i considered making the thizz face, for instance. listen to them pull the flange all over this track! if this came out in 1995, it would have a cheesy video and it would be really popular.

D4L, Bo Hagon & Crime Mob - Wuz Up
spiritual sequel to 'laffy taffy' or have they run out of ideas? who cares, this shit is hilarious. that chorus is like frank sinatra crossed with lil' jon and this makes me happier than you think it does. the last guy i recognize from 'laffy taffy' and his voice makes me lose it every time. 'I'M STARTING TO SEE SPACESHIPS ON BANKHEAD', fucking awesome.

Man Man - Engwish Bwudd
i fucking love this band. they are 8 philly folks that bump player piano into dirty captain beefheart obscur-o-rock and buddy, to quote lil' wayne, i love it, i FUCKIN' love it. you might not be into the showtune-y british vibe of this song, but i love this guy's voice, it's quite soulful. i think this band will be very popular this year, so start liking them now and then turn against them like everything else, you assholes.

Test Icicles - What's Your Damage (Digitalism Remix)
the life and death of electro punk. right here. this is what a remix should do: it's taken out the shit i didn't like, emphasized the cool parts and pumps the chorus into the dancefloor destroyer it should be. "LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO", "YEAH!", etc. i love this band and i feel like i'm the only one. sure, awful name and all that, but what's wrong with some trendcore dance-punk every once and awhile. whatever man, i own OK GO's first album, what do i fucking know?
