Current Music: Portishead - Over
So Thursday a friend of mine calls me and asks what I'm doing on Friday night. "Nothing," I say, "why, you wanna hang out?" Then he says, "I got an extra ticket for the Metallica show in Milwaukee, you wanna go?" I thought it was strange that he had tickets for the Milwaukee show since he lives in Chicago, but I didn't question it. I quickly replied in the affirmative before he decided otherwise. I later found out that he got the Milwaukee tickets cause they were about $20 cheaper than the Chicago show next weekend. Anyway, the show was incredible. I hadn't seen Metallica since '89. What was especially cool is that we were less than 15 feet from the stage. It was awesome...and free!
In other news, I'm currently doing a series of Beastie Boys remixes. So far I've done a mix of Ch-Check It Out which has an old school vibe to it; and Sure Shot, which is one of my favorites, which is well...different! My favorite mix of that song is the Prunes Mix off the Tour Shot import (it's on the US Sure Shot EP, but only in instrumental form.) So, rather than try to do the song in a style that's already been done (and likely fall horribly short,) I decided to take a completely new approach to it. The mixes are available for streaming or download at my ACIDplanet site. More mixes to come! |
