LTJ Bukem gets Mashed up
Published by June 7th, 2007 in music, internet, video, drugs, high weirdness, bizarre, stupid, philosophy, funny, electronic, cool and mashup. 0 CommentsRick Swerve stayed up a little late last night, had a few hits off of a tasty old bong — otherwise known as Mt. Baker — and decided to take his first foray into the exciting world of video editing.
The end result of course displays my raw technical skills, but the video also overflows with the untapped creativity of a talented young artist just waiting to break free from the shackles of our oppressive and rigid society.
So sit back, relax, and groove with LTJ Bukem, MC Conrad, and the fine visual effects of Rick Swerve in “LTJ Elderly” — HotnStinky’s first contribution to the venerable YouTube universe.
Reggie Watts: Out of Control
Published by May 3rd, 2007 in music, video, electronic, cool and technology. 0 CommentsThis is a very cool tune performed by Reggie Watts. Every sound is made with his mouth, as he loops different beats while singing and basically scatting.
As a rule, I don’t like beatboxing, but this guy takes it to new places.
Sit back, and enjoy.
If you liked that tune by Reggie, here’s another video by a guy named Kid Beyond from San Fran. He’s not as cool as Reggie, and the video is a bit of an ad for the software that allows you do this, but Kid Beyond is still pretty good and it explains how this is all done.
One day late, Happy Birthday to Bowie. Here’s 60 semi-interesting things about rockdom’s latest sexagenarian.
Better yet, a few videos. This clip of Queen Bitch begins with a removal of the makeup and the persona of a ‘bizarre, self-constructed freak’, revealing a pretty damned fine stripped-down live performance:
But Bowie wouldn’t have been Bowie without the sheer shaved eyebrow weirdness on display in Life on Mars:
But we can’t limit ourselves to the hot, we just gotta add the stinky — though Bowie comes across as the essence of cool compared to his dance partner…
One is tempted to call this track the death of rock — except that it comes more than a decade before the Satanic virgin birth of Nickleback.

Billboard magazine, and every other news site on the web, has announced this year’s inductees into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame:
R.E.M., Van Halen, Patti Smith, the Ronettes and Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame March 12 during a ceremony at New York’s Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. To be eligible for induction, this year’s class had to release their first single no later than 1981.
Congrats go out to Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, who must be one of the earliest selections to the hall from the world of hip hop. To celebrate, let’s enjoy the Grandmaster Flash classic White Lines:
The Velvet Underground Acetate — $25,000 or $0.00?
Published by January 8th, 2007 in music and mp3s. 0 Comments
Some sucker paid $25,000 on eBay for that rare acetate of the Velvet Underground’s lost Scepter studio sessions (picked up on a New York Chelsea Street by Warren Hill for 75 cents). Now, by the miracle of internet piracy, you can download copies of the tracks for free, courtesy of WFMU’s Beware of the Blog:
Here are the Mp3s, in the running order of the acetate (which differs from the order of the actual VU and Nico release). You can hear the marked difference in tracks like “European Son”, and while some of these same takes wound up utilized for the Warhol LP, these are rougher mixes.
