It Really Will Blow Your Mind
Normally, I don’t go too excited about mashups, no matter how clever. But Elizabeth’s June mixtape let me onto this utterly smashing blend of Vampire Weekend and Styles P. It’s old, I know. But I don’t care! I don’t care so much, in fact, that I’m going to flout internet convention and post it anyway.
Vampire Weekend vs. Styles P :: Punk Your MindSpeaking of old music, I saw Mission of Burma play a reunion show at the Black Cat this weekend. Typically, I’m not much for anything pre-Nirvana,* and my knowledge of the band is pretty limited, but the show was brash and thrashy and loud and an awful lot of fun. I realized while watching them, though, that if I saw a bunch of 19 year olds doing the exact same thing, I’d be mostly unimpressed. As bloggers who started before 2004 know, you get a lot of cred for being first.
*Yes, it’s appropriate to roll your eyes and mumble something about whippersnappers on the interwebs.
Oh, good, because I’m eye-rolling right about now! And why do I always associate Nirvana with the O.J. Simpson ride? I’ll have to look it up and see if something significant happened in connection with Nirvana during the same year (maybe it was the year that Kurt killed himself).
