Yeah Yeah Yeahs: secrets revealed!

To me this doesn’t really discredit the song too much, it’s more of a “so that’s how they did it” moment. It’s funny how the actual note intervals were already mapped out though. I remember listening to that string part when I was working on my remix and wondering what they used to make it… Now the cat is out of the proverbial bag.

Soulwax’s live show is one of the best in the biz. Seeing the amount of gear that they’re running on stage and just how precisely timed everything is, it comes across like it was programmed by a nuclear physicist. In this video, David Dewaele breaks down exactly how it works. They even control their own lights from Ableton!
Ruben went to Antarctica
Friend of Fool’s Gold Ruben Fleischer, who directed Kid Sister’s “Pro Nails” video a few years back and struck it big last year with the movie Zombieland, just came back from a trip to Antarctica!

Here are a few highlights…

The hotel reviews are back! Hollywood Roosevelt
This is the Hollywood Roosevelt, I’ve stayed there a bunch in LA and finally got around to reviewing it when I went out there last weekend. I also DJ’ed a few parties around the Grammys, for Phoenix and for Drake, and I did a set on Power 106, but you know this because you read my blog. Sooooo watch this hotel review and the cypher will be complete. Voilà.
