I Am A Mixing Machine: Check Out This "38:10" Mix, You Guys

Sup kids, looks like I'm getting MUCH faster at pumping out these mixes. Here's a new one pretty much exactly two weeks after the last - best part is, it came together in a couple days and wasn't even the one I'd intended to put out next (a full-on country music remix comp... just kidding... or am I).

So you know the drill by now: I drop the link and track list and kill a little time with commentary, then I throw out a list of shows that I intend to go to unless they're rained out. Or, in the case of TV ON THE M-F'IN RADIO at Prospect Park, will attend even if I have to rock a poncho.

Here's my new 38:10 mix then!

The Tracks

1. Kid Sister -- "Right Hand Hi"
2. Mondo Grosso -- "SHININ'"
3. Frankmusik -- "Confusion Girl (Russ Chimes Remix)"
4. Daft Punk -- "One More Time (Bazz Weasel's One More Tune Remix)"
5. Bloc Party -- "One More Chance (Alex Metric Remix)"
6. Gossip -- "Heavy Cross (Yuksek Remix)"
7. LCD Soundsystem -- "Time to Get Away (Gucci Soundsystem Remix)"

Track #7 is dedicated to Debbie "Huge LCD Soundsystem Fan" Chou because she suggested the original as the closer track. Along with a bunch of my other friends, she is in this really kickass band called The Barrens that you should check out if you enjoy awesomeness and rocking.

The Banter

So does the inclusion of that LCD Soundsystem track as a closer make my choice of mix title make more sense now? Yeah music nerds, the title 38:10 is a hat tip to my guru James Murphy's 45:33 mix from back in the (relatively recent) day. While not nearly as continuous or, as P4K puts it, space-disco-ey, I feel like this is something you can dance to and probably also jog to if you felt like it (BPM's just about the same for all the tracks throughout). Joggers, let me know how that goes.

In related news from that same P4K link, a 45:33 remix album is coming out next month, and a proper new LCD Soundsystem LP is coming in 2010! Can't wait for either!
