CREEPs
CREEP is a new project from Brooklyn's Lauren Flax and Lauren Dillard of Dreamburger. Although there are a couple of clips of the duo's original stuff on their Myspace page, their first release into the "blogosphere" is an awesome remix of Baghdaddy's Hot Shit. Can't say I've ever heard the original, but I think I like the remix better.
If the clips and remix aren't enough to be excited about, they've also recorded two songs with Romy Madley Croft on vocals for their upcoming release on new label TriAngle Records!
Check out the video for Hot Shit, a XX remix and some other spooky jams since I've been loving this witchy stuff lately.

Kim Ann Foxman Mix

Just because something is old, doesn't mean it isn't good. In fact, the opposite is often true. I love sharing new music, but sometimes it's fun to dig in the virtual crates and bring out something a little older. So, here's a mix that the fabulous Kim Ann Foxman did for Beats in Space in 2008! It's chock full of classics, so it is just as good now as it was then.
Check out part 1 for Kim Ann's mix and part 2 for the transition to Beats in Space's Tim Sweeney. I've also included a couple of individual tracks from the mix so enjoy some oldies but goodies this evening!

Mind Reader CFCF Remix
If you are a reader of music blogs...which you probably are since you're reading this one...you've probably heard some CFCF remixes. Montreal's Mike Silver (AKA CFCF) has already turned out great remixes for HEALTH, Crystal Castles, Fan Death, Sally Shapiro (plus a bunch of others!) and now you can add Kingdom's Mind Reader to the list.
The CFCF remix brings the energy down a little bit, but keeps the vocal pretty much in tact, making it sound more like a fresh r&b song than the dancefloor jam that is the original. Good stuff!
Check it out along with a cover of Fleetwood Mac's Big Love below! AND don't forget to pick up the limited edition 10" of Mind Reader on Acephale!

The Gay 90's: Burn her, throw her in the river!
We all did it, knew someone that did it, or knew vaguely of it. I'm not talking about meth, vogueing, spandex bike shorts, or secretly buying the NSYNC christmas album. No. I'm talking about WITCHCRAFT.
The 90's was a very huge time of learning identity. People were coming out, going back in the closet, species were being discovered (I was REALLY into dinosaurs, alright? Leave me alone). But the weirdest trend? TEEN WITCHCRAFT. Paganism, Wicca, earth mama, whatever you want to call it, witches were popping up all over the fucking place. Sidenote: One time I called a dude a warlock and was on the receiving end of the gayest rant ever about how Warlocks were actually evil or yada yada yada. I was TALKING about THIS Warlock, stupid.
Anyways, it did predate the whole "going green" thing didn't it? Nature. Treat others how you want to be treated. Don't harm no motherfuckers unless you want to go to the unspeakable place. Or something. Actually, as I remember, shit came back like, 1308103810 worse for you if you say, cast a spell where you willed someone to fall down a flight of stairs. I've been paying for that shit ever since 1997. DON'T CAST EVIL SPELLS. Of course nowadays, we lack nice witches. Everyone is into ghosts. Ghosthunting. Demons. Chip Coffey. It's all about the supernatural instead of paying attention to the natural shit around us. We have real lives to tend to. We don't have cameras and red lighting and gay mediums and all that shit. NO. Back then, all witches had was nature, elastic waist earth tone ankle skirts, ill-fitting tank tops, and hella books. THEY PREDATED THE INTERNET.
Which is why, readers, I PRAISE the 90's witch. They should be honored, presented with medals, given a gift certificate to a vegan/vegetarian friendly hip-but-not-too-hip bistro, and a hummer in a hummer. Those bitches knew how to apply beliefs to REAL LIFE instead of taking shit so literally.
Go on with your badass self, 90's witches.

I seriously cannot say no to Chip Coffey.
Sarah Jacobson Benefit in BK
A little while back I posted about the films of Sarah Jacobson. Oddly enough, there happens to be an event in Brooklyn to celebrate her work Monday, February 15. The event is a benefit for the Sarah Jacobson Film Grant which provides funding for young women “whose work embodies some of the things that Sarah stood for: a fierce DIY approach to filmmaking, a radical social critique, and a thoroughly underground sensibility.” There will be a screening of her film Mary Jane's Not A Virgin Anymore with an introduction from filmmaker Barbara Hammer and Sarah's mother Ruth and tributes from Kathleen Hanna, Tamra Davis, George Kuchar and more!
If you are in New York PLEASE go to this event and celebrate the memory of a great feminist/D.I.Y. filmmaker and support the future of feminist/D.I.Y. filmmaking!

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE FABULOUS SARAH JACOBSON
An evening to honor DIY filmmaker Sarah Jacobson
And a benefit for the Sarah Jacobson Film Grant
February 15, 2010
7 pm doors, 8 pm show
Glasslands Gallery, Brooklyn, NY
On Monday, February 15, 2009, filmmakers, punk rockers, feminists, and musicians will gather to remember filmmaker Sarah Jacobson (1970–2004). The evening will include an appearance from Sarah’s mother Ruth Jacobson, and her sister Lee Jacobson. There is a $5 suggested donation at the doors, and all proceeds will go to the Sarah Jacobson Film Grant, which supports independent young women filmmakers.
Sarah Jacobson (1971–2004) was a a filmmaker who wrote, produced, and directed several movies in the 1990s, including “Mary Jane’s Not A Virgin Any More” and “I Was a Teenage Serial Killer.” Sarah’s films reflected her punk sensibilities, her feminist beliefs, and her dedication to DIY principles. She and her mother Ruth Jacbson brought “Mary Jane” to the 1997 Sundance festival, and it was named by Film Threat as one of the “25 Underground Films You Must See.” Sarah was active in the music scene and directed several music videos, including one for Man… or Astroman? She died in 2004 at the age of 32.
After her death, filmmaker Sam Green and Sarah’s mother established the Sarah Jacobson Film Grant for young women “whose work embodies some of the things that Sarah stood for: a fierce DIY approach to filmmaking, a radical social critique, and a thoroughly underground sensibility.” Since 2004, the grant has been awarded to eight filmmakers: Marie Losier, Natasha Mendonca, Kara Herold, Gretchen Hogue, Joanna Dery, Vanessa Renwick, Ellen Lake, and Veronica Majano.
“Ladies and Gentlemen, the Fabulous Sarah Jacobson” will celebrate Sarah’s life and work. It also launches the grant cycle for 2010 and information about applying for the grant will be available at the event and on the website: http://sjfilmgrant.wordpress.com/.
The evening will begin with a short screening of samples of previous grant winners and two of Sarah’s short films. Filmmaker Barbara Hammer and Sarah’s mother Ruth will then speak and introduce “Mary Jane’s Not a Virgin Any More.” The evening will also include video tributes from Sarah’s fans and friends including Kathleen Hanna, Allison Anders, Tamra Davis, Michelle Handelman, George Kuchar, Sam Green, and Craig Baldwin.
Glasslands is located at 289 Kent Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11211

Diamond Rings
Keeping with the Valentine's Day theme of the weekend how about some Diamond Rings? Actual diamond rings probably sell like hotcakes this time of year with all of the opposite marriage proposals that happen...but who cares about all that! I'll take my Diamond Rings in the form of music from Toronto based musician John O'Regan. If you are an avid blog reader or from Canada you may know Mr. O'Regan from his band The D'Urburvilles but he's been making cute and catchy electronic bedroom pop as Diamond Rings since last summer too. AND besides the music, he's put out a couple of the best no budget music videos I've seen in a long time with the help of directors Colin Medley and Jared Raab. LOVE John's dancing and the choreographed dance numbers, the 90's-esque green screen sequences and the cameo from Kids on TV's John Caffery in the new video!
Check out the brand new video for Wait And See along with the video and mp3 for All Yr Songs. Also check out the Diamond Rings Myspace page for tour dates with Owen Pallett, at SXSW and more!
