The Standard Issue asked me to curate a Sled Island 2013 playlist which you can stream in all its glory here. Not surprisingly, there’s a huge Vancouver bias in my band selection.

Dang. AlunaGeorge can do no wrong.

Kanye West - On Sight (Produced by Daft Punk)

Not surprisingly, this sounds nothing like Random Access Memories.

More mixes than you can shake a stick at!

Stayglued be killing it.

I taught the word “bildungsroman” to a bunch of first years and told them that it would help them pick up English majors in bars

Is this an obtuse reference to Catcher In The Rye?… Because, ho-boy, I have opinions!

The Gold and the Silver Dream (1971-1982) - A Tribute to Daft Punk's 'Random Access Memories'

A tribute to Daft Punk’s wonderful ‘Random Access Memories,’ tracks inhabiting the same warm, wonderful universe of funky, melancholic robots skirting around the edges of the discotheque, alternately wondering what life’s about and deciding it’s all about forgetting to worry what it’s all about. Space disco, library funk, sophisticated rhythmic orchestrations, savvy art-rock, psych-poppers and proggers gone dancefloor, and a singer-songwriter or two—all meeting in those blissful sonic years 1971-1982 from which Daft Punk brewed their latest potions. Created for the Musicophilia blog, http://musicophilia.wordpress.com, mixed by Soundslike.

And that is why you should listen.  Like, now.

This mix opens with an Amon Duul II prog-disco jam, so I am obviously in.

Bravo!

greatest moment in television history.

Nostalgia!  @vanmega and I were just talking about this last night.

It’s true! We were talking about this human pile of garbage (Yeowch, calm down, rob) and how preposterous this whole rant is.  As I’ve said before, if I were Tiffany (please suspend disbelief that I could be on a teenage girl modeling show), my response to Tyra would have been:

“Actually, we do know where the hell you come from! You have an extensive wikipedia page with 58 reference sources! You had a daytime TV talk show, which ran for 810 episodes… and on each of those hour long episodes you rambled on for great lengths about yourself and “where you came from”, so much so, that you’d usually cut off your guests sensationalized stories to one up them with tangential ramblings about yourself!  We know where the hell you come from… so, please, for the warm memory of those four episodes of The Fresh Prince of Bel Air where you were endearing, shut up.”

I’d them take a deep breath, smize, and say:

“Fuck this, and fuck you.  I’m going to Law School”.

I have thought way too much about this over the years.

Man… That time back in Tk’s studio apartment on West 2nd circa 2003 - 2004 watching this show, that’s time I’ll never get back in my life.  No regrets?
