Are You Immuzed?

It’s been more than a year since we last checked in with Alfredo Lapuz Jr, or, as he’s known on the streets, Immuzikation. His absurd skills have surprisingly only managed to improve with time. To say that he’s thumpin’ out the hits is an outrageous understatement. While none of these tracks are iPad new, the thought of you not having them in your iTunes kept me up last night, well, that and the cocaine. How he was able to blend the tremendous hits “Ambling Alp” and “Giving Up the Gun” so seamlessly that it actually sounds like one song, I’ll never know. Immuzikation is truly a master of his craft, and an artist who should absolutely be watched. With his abundance of talent, no one can be certain what Mr. Lapuz will do next, but I can promise you it will be miraculous. And thus endeth another installment of “Mailing It In” with your host, David Jacobs.

You Know I'm No Good

Set 'em loose on me. I know you wanna.

It’s true — I’ve sunk to a new low. A whole week without fresh new jams comin’ atcha from Showtown. How have you survived? More importantly, why have you survived? Was life worth living without the Show? No, of course not. But I appreciate you muddling.

I wish I had some sort of great excuse for my ignoring you, but I don’t. Except this one: I’m a full-time student, and this job doesn’t pay. At all. Not one shiny penny comes to me. I do it out of the goodness of my own heart. I know, I know — save the thanks for later. Leave the idolizing remarks in the comments section. Now’s not the time. What it is time for, however, are some fresh Spring tunes, guaranteed to make your booty shake and the house quake. Live, from Brunswick Maine, It’s Animal Show time.

The first song I’m going to share with you is the single off Show favorites (and commentors) Super Mash Bros.’ new album, tentatively titled All About the Scrillions, which will be rattling your fillings in early June. The song’s called “Kisses & Thugs,” and it’s making me hungry for more.

Next, I’m going to drop a duo of ground-stomping goodies which I’ve been saving forever: a sweet remix of Santigold’s brilliant “Unstoppable,” featuring Li’l Wayne and Drake. Nuff said. And then there’s a Daft Punk vs. Beastie Boys mash, “Intergalactic Human,” courtesy of DJ Earworm. Nothing new, but a gem nonetheless. So, sorry for the slow April, but we’re still here and we still know how to get down.

If you haven’t already, buy Santigold’s album before she changes her name again.

Show me your moves, indeed.

After a lengthy spring break from the Show, ably handled by my co-captains with covers, mashes, and MSPainted shutters galore, I’m back in full force. It’s Edward time, bitches. And I’ve decided that, with the extra time SB09 has given me, I’m going to be treating all ya’ll to some full album recommendations. It’s gonna be the beginning of a weekly album feature, where we try to turn you onto sweet gems, new, old, hip and forgotten. Quick! Sweep everything off your desk in a symbolic room-making gesture. It’s Show time. Animal Show time.

Coming at you first is a monsterpiece of a compositional sampling album from some sweet dudes called Super Mash Bros., who have unleashed “Fuck Bitches. Get Euros.” on the world. For the uninitiated of you, compositional sampling is the full-album kind of mash-upping, a la Girl Talk and my personal favorite, E-603. The problem is that, at this point, many of the potential matches have been played out. Hence Mash Bros. promise to be “Girl Talk’s hot cousin,” and obviously one who’s sporting sweet nineties jorts, an oversized polo, long, long blonde hair and spunky sneaks. And, like every good mash-up album, it’s got the sort of moments that make you grin with the brilliance of the pairing.

For sampling purposes, I’m providing 4 of the tracks streaming. I’ll let them more or less speak for themselves, but let me fill you in on what you’re not hearing: In “D.G.A.F.L.Y.F.”, there’s a bone-chilling mix of “Crank That” and DaRude’s deathless “Sandstorm,” which will make your grandmother break both her hips with some serious heel-toeing. In “Testarossas for Everyone!” we find yet another “Say Yeah”/”Better off Alone” mash, coming tied to Li’l Mama’s “Lip Gloss.” I should be tired of all these songs, but, damn it all if they don’t keep getting better. Also, I think the Bros should get mega points for the moment in their brilliantly-titled “Broseidon, Lord of the Brocean,” where Imogen Heap’s “Hide and Seek” is paired with “Tipsy,” which then transitions into “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger” and Death Cab’s “Title and Registration.” One other serious highlight is Modest Mouse’s “Float On” flowing into Sixpence None the Richer’s “Kiss Me,” both bouncing over “Miss New Booty,” which has me grinning ear to ear as I type. And if “I Fucking Bleed Purple and Gold” doesn’t sell you with its “Kids” vs. Eminem moment, don’t read my blog, dammit, because you obviously have feet for ears and snot for brains.
