The weather lately has been a little bizarre . September reared its ugly head and Brooklyn got all sorts of chilly, then just a few days ago, it's 80° in the city. Now, my short-wearing will likely extend into November (Michigan blood), but that won't stop the leaves from turning or my appetite for pumpkin pie and football from spiraling out of control. Below is a collection of songs I threw together for the season-changing occasion, but don't expect any jubilant bangers--this October mix is a more somber affair... Citizen [...]
Black Glove are Burlington Vermont's Deke Smith and Jonathan Sandridge. Their mashup of chillwaver Com Truise's Ether Drift and Gucci Mane's Pillz is seamless and so so good, it almost had to be with that combination. Clearly Deke and Jonathan have taste. Drift Pillz is Black Glove's latest addition to a catalogue that's almost 50 tracks long. Their M83 x Gucci track is also worth checking out. Black Glove - Drift Pillz [mp3]
Mashup Monday – We're going to melt you faces off with enough mashed up music to make you wanna slap yo' mama. itstk will be bringing you the dopest dope in the mashup world. We've been scouring the music lands, and filing through tracks that you enthusiastic readers and musicians have sent us. We've found mashups from DJ's far and wide. We've found down-tempo ones. We've found super fast and beaty ones. Short ones and long ones. Ones that you wanna sit back and enjoy, and ones that will make you want to rage all over a dance floor. We [...]
Coachella is this weekend. As tempting as it is to turn off my Twitter feed or not check Facebook this weekend, I will be glued every night. The good thing is that Coachella will be streamed and a moment won't be missed. On the upside, I won't be paying $12 for one beer, potentially losing my wallet (literally and metaphorically), not waiting in line to use the commode and not losing my cellphone. By my estimation, I would have had ingested about 6 double-doubles from In-Out by now. This is taking into consideration that I [...]
I get it, we're all sick of mash-ups. Unless they're really good. Is that how it works now? I thought Girl Talk 's All Day was pretty great, The Hood Internet are still doing their thing well and Black Glove impress me every now and again with their basement interpretations. Regardless, I'll always have a soft spot for the crypt-robbing genre and this Tumblewoof mini-mixtape was a surprise. It's five songs off Phoenix's Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix paired with choice Lil Wayne verses, but more [...]
our friend BorisB made a HD video for a noisy Simon Iddol mashup from 2007 get ready for the Goose, Tigarah, Grace Jones and Jamiroquai plus a lotta girls ;)
It's been a while since i did a good old fashioned cover post without a theme or main focus on one artist. So without further ado here are a few random covers that have been pleasuring my ears recently. And of course the originals for you to compare too. MP3: Telephoned feat Gyptian - O.N.E (Yeasayer cover) MP3: Blackbird Blackbird - Float On (Modest Mouse cover) [...]
White Panda can't control their BPM. Easter Egg is overrated. Super Mash Bros. overdo-it on the pop-punk references. Girl Talk and E-603 are laying low. The mash-up in general is becoming a meme and the only act consistently putting out greatness right now is The Hood Internet. Well, them and Black Glove . While this duo from Vermont doesn't turn the genre on its ear, Black Glove mash-ups (thankfully) aren't played out and make some pretty choice references. Sure, the guys mix in overly-familiar hip-hop, but that's par for the mash-up course -- [...]

April 23 was a pretty good day, thanks to a submission from Black Glove . Sadly, and embarrassedly so, I'll admit that I haven't checked in on Burlington, VT's Deke Smith and Jonathan Sandridge in well over that near two-month time span. My sincerest apologies, boys...but on the flipzy, I'm gonna remedy that now. Holy moly, these kids have been busy...and it looks like they've been stalking [...]
black glove - "made you look in the diner" (download) Black Glove is quickly getting some exposure for their well-crafted mashups, ranging from Nas vs. Suzanne Vega (heard here), to Dragonette vs. Biggie , Gucci Mane vs. Penguin Prison and more. This duo, consisting of Deke Smith and Jonathan Sandridge from Vermont also creates really impressive visuals to correspond with each song they do. Head over to their website [...]
Awesomesauce times infinity. Black Glove is Deke Smith and Jonathan Sandridge. This day just got exponentially greater. mp3: U2 x Dragonette x Notorious B.I.G. - Without the Nasty Phone (Black Glove Mash)
Gooses 'live' EP is just that, 4 tracks pulled directly from a number of concerts/festivals the quartet have played at. Using a range of instruments and considered to some as an 'electro rock' band, Goose pool a range of elements from surrounding genres to create such ampy tunes possible to turn any square into a sweaty mess. Sadly unlike other 'live' recordings its purely the audio and without any crowd reaction, being a live performing band there still is a lot of value but no huge difference to any studio recorded stuff. [...]
