Argh. I totally finished this post like night but got distracted by a shiny object or something because I never hit that little ‘Publish Post’ button. Expect another post in a couple of hours, which will be the one I was planning on doing tonight anyways.

Beck
Richard’s Hairpiece (Devil’s Haircut Remix by Aphex Twim)
Electric Music And The Summer People
I spend so much time digging through crates of records that I forget that I also have a substantial amount of CD singles. These two Beck rarities serve as an example of that. Both of these are from a maxi-single of ‘Devil’s Haircut.’ Aphex Twin’s remix is surprisingly normal for one of his, you can actually recognize the original song. I have some more rare Beck that I’ll get around to posting sometime.

Erasure
I Love Saturday (JX Remix)
I Love Saturday (Flower Mix)
The new Erasure album is good, go buy it. These two remixes are off of a white label promo 12” single. Two more from this one next post.

Lords Of Acid
Pussy (Disco D’s Ultra Buff Luv Muff Mix)
Pussy (DJ Assault’s Hit It Hard Hit It Quick Mix)
Pussy (I Love Pussy Mix)
One of the stupidest songs ever written, oh I love it so. I have some sick fantasy of taking a girl home, getting her in the mood for loving and then right when we start to get it on have this track blare out of my stereo. I wonder if anyone’s actually ever fucked to ‘Pussy’? It’s probably a better song to strip to, I hope and pray that there is a strip club somewhere in the world that just has this song on constant repeat. This was one of those songs I was exposed to during the halcyon days of Napster and college dorm file sharing. T’was a glorious time, filled with mislabeled ID tags (what do you mean ‘Cats In The Cradle’ isn’t by Bob Dylan?) and hard drives filled with random tracks like this and the techno remix of the theme to Das Boot. Anyways, these remixes of this opus to…um…kitty cats, is off of a 12” single. I’ll post the B-sides next time.

I previously said I wasn’t going to do theme posts. Well, I lied. This post isn’t a themed one but the next couple…few…dozen will be simply because it’ll give me an excuse to clear out some crap that probably couldn’t stand on it’s own. Expect a lot of mid-90s techno this week. This post is kind of a warm-up for that.

Lords Of Acid
I Sit On Acid 2000 (Soulwax Remix)
Scrood Bi U (Hush Scroo All Ya’ll Mix)
These are the last two Lords Of Acid tracks I’ll be posting for a while, meaning that my mom will no longer have to worry about accidentally downloading something she’s not old enough to hear.

Erasure
I Love Saturday (Beatmasters Dub Mix)
I Love Saturday (Beatmasters Club Mix)
I need to unload my Erasure, it’s gathering on my hard drive like some…big…gay…thing (I’m tired and out of similes. Expect an all-Erasure post in the near future.

INXS
Disappear (Extended 12” Mix)
Middle Beast
What You Need (Coldcut Force Mix)
My favorite INXS song hands down in ‘Disappear.’ In case anyone is wondering my second-favorite INXS song is ‘Need You Tonight/Mediate’ and my third is ‘Elegantly Wasted’ which is off of their criminally underlooked album of the same name. ‘Middle Beast’ is an instrumental track that happens to have a hilariously appropriate title considering the state of the world right now. The mix to ‘What You Need’ is the weakest of the three, with too many ‘ooh yeahs’ getting thrown in for no good reason. All of these are off of the 12” single for ‘Disappear.’

Lunatic Calm
Leave You Far Behind (Rollercoaster Mix)
Metropol (Lunatics Soundscape Mix)
Today marked the first time that I properly spelled Lunatic Calm on my first try. I always want to type their name out as ‘Lunatic Clam.’ And while I bet that is the name of some awesome porno movie about a bipolar hooker (or the worst nautical horror movie ever), it’s not the name of the band. I know nothing about these guys other than the fact that ‘Far Behind’ was on The Matrix Soundtrack. This remix of it is almost like a dub mix and I don’t think the “I want to leave you far behind” hook is ever mentioned. Both these remixes are off of some white-label promo that I bought for a buck at Half Price Books.
