Hump Day Mix Tape ft. Dummy Mag Mix 111, Midnight Magic & More Ass Shakers

My heart is still recovering from not being at South by Southwest. In all seriousness I think I sounded like an air-horn that replaced the annoying honking sound with the even more annoying Snookie, “Waaaah”.

Instead of crying about it (any more), I distracted myself by finding music to share with you.

Let’s start out with this tasty Holy Ghost remix of Midnight Magic’s track “Drop Me A Line

Dummy Mag’s Mix from Brenmar is a delight and holy shit – it even has Dru Hill‘s “How Deep Is Your Love” which was my dance floor grinding jam back in college.

Rye Rye will be releasing a proper album soon and a set of remixes for the single “Boom Boom” has made its way to the net. So far, this is my favorite of the batch:

Lana Del Rey Looks Like She Swallows: “Blue Jeans” (Official Video)

Hey guess what, I still LOVE this song and I don’t care if you hate Lana Del Rey or the overt oral sex references in this video. BJ away my friend!

And yes, I would totally hit it!

The Gossip Premieres “Perfect World” from Upcoming Album “A Joyful Noise”

It’s kind of hard to believe Gossip hasn’t released anything for quite some time now – probably because I haven’t stopped playing the shit out of Music for Men due to it never getting old. Ever.

Well, brace yourselves my friends, because you are in the same room as greatness. From Beth’s opening, “Oh-oo-ooh-oo-ooh” you  will recognize the sadness within “Perfect World”, but just as all songs from this band go, there is a sense of redemption and optimism that will make you want to use one arm to pump your fist while the other stays safely near your mouse so as to click the play button again.

A Joyful Noise comes out in May. (via TripleJ)

The Only Granny That Comes Close to Matching My Gram’s Cuteness

There are a lot of people putting their grandparents on YouTube these days – and trust me,  I totally understand the need to show the world how awesome or cute the elderly people in your life are. Not all grandparents on YouTube – or in life – are created equal though, so many of these videos elicit an, “Aww, that’s nice,” response, but that’s pretty much it. I don’t want to steal anyone else’s grandma – or at least I hadn’t before now.

Meet this 97-year-old grandma who, just like my gram, hasn’t met a piece of chocolate she didn’t like. Regardless of the look on her dog’s unimpressed face, this little lady can get down with the get down! Hell, she keeps dancing even when the music stops. You just can’t tame this dancing beast.

More important than her happy feet, just look at the sweetness in her face. I bet she gives great hugs. I tip my hat to you, some stranger’s cute grandma, way to keep it real for 97-years and counting.
