VOTD: Bomb The Bass - Butterfingers & Burn The Bunker

Today was a day of communication breakdown or emails being lost or something to that effect. I suppose my time was not wasted as I was able to complete other goals in the interim.

I had a good time seeing Tricky perform last evening in Anaheim... more on that later with photos... For now, the Video(s) Of The Day

Bomb The Bass is a collective organized by the talented, Tim Simenon, who has had a bunch of moderate hits since 1987. He has collaborated with Meat Beat Manifesto, David Bowie, Bjork, Seal, Massive Attack, Justin Warfield (when Justin did hip hop, before his She Wants Revenge business) Gavin Friday (The Virgin Prunes aka U2's influence). He also stepped in to replace Alan Wilder, and produced ULTRA (1997) for DEPECHE MODE, which brought the tunes "Barrel of a Gun", "It's No Good", and "Home" to fruition. He is also known for pulling in members of Tackhead into the mix. Tackhead, not only are the musicians behind the Sugar Hill Records music which was the original HIP HOP music including "RAPPER'S DELIGHT", but also the same people who created and produced the first NIN album, Pretty Hate Machine.

VOTD: Videos Galore of the Month (part 1)

Some of you may know that my computer's main drive had gone down. It was not a simple task of having data files being backed up to restore. In fact, data such as pictures, mp3s and the like are on external drives. The issue is that I have work... and work for clients that is not completed which has instruction sets and material that is not rendered as it is not in its final state which makes things more difficult.

Similar to a recipe and having the right tools and ingredients in the right place in order to make everything work correctly. If one piece of the system is off, you could wind up with a Turkey Sandwich when you intended on a Pumpkin Pie!



Well, the machine has been successfully revived and life for me carries on now.

Since I have missed quite some time posting videos, I will post quite a few over the next days.

Also, as a reminder, BOOTY!, the art and performance opening party @ INFUSION GALLERY is this evening, 9-1am. I will be sharing some tunes and have been planted as the master of ceremonies for the event. This is NOT my party... so if you have any questions or comments, concerns, etc. Contact Bluegirl Productions. (Click flyer for details & large flyer)

See you there this evening and now onto some videos :)

VIDEOS
The first one is a bit downtempo and slightly dark, but have no fear as the next two are so uplifiting you will feel like you have just had a drop of retsin, or some minty refreshing blast.

Bomb The Bass - Black River
If you do not recall "Beat Dis", you may know his work from producing ULTRA for Depeche Mode


Friendly Fires 'Skeleton Boy' directed by Clemens Habicht
This video included white tape, thousands of beanbag balls and the trio.

Friendly Fires 'Skeleton Boy' by Clemens Habicht from Nexus Productions on Vimeo.

Animal Collective - My Girls
This band is all over the place and you can catch them at Coachella this year. The video is similar to Friendly Fires, but I like the previous video and song much more.


This post shall be continued with videos from frYars, featuring Dave Gahan of Depeche Mode, Night Waves, Dead Confederate, The Japanese Popstars and even footage of a modular robot who rebuilds itself when knocked or kicked over.

Have a fantasticalioso + fun Friday!
