Over breakfast CNN is screaming out that we have just had the biggest single point loss in DOW history after the house blocks the bailout deal. The day is not over yet but so far we have surpassed 9/11 in market hesitancy. Over the television dance music blares, the siren horns of Barletta, the “Wow’s” of Crookers and a new Jay-Z refrain we are about to all get used to. This is a scary moment to watch unfold but truthfully one we should have seen coming for quite some time. Our standard of living is becoming unsustainable, the debt bubble is bursting. Life continues, we still love what we care about and today, for me, that is the music.

No I don’t mean Iran or Russia. Politically I would rather we kept our troops at home and rebuild our own world. But on the musical front it’s hard not to write about LGTW…
After doing a quick tour with M.I.A. and having the electro crunk anthem in “Life We Live” remixed by I-turn-everything-to-gold DJ Barletta LGTW is poised to pursue what this all means and turn a flash in the pan success into a career? Or at least become a name a little more well know.

“The Whole City’s Got a Cold” goes to the same territory as N.E.R.D.’s “Everyone Nose” but it goes a bit deeper with the beat, a slowed down ghetto bass line, hand claps and more interesting storytelling about skiing in July. “No one dances no more, they just sniff and sniff.”

Life we live is the club banger, another song about “heavy glamour, flashbulbs and young rockstars” but with more excitement and living in the moment euphoria then most.

Push up your lighter goes more crunk/pop rasta with another slowed down grinder of a beat.

I occasionally DJ under the moniker “DJ Countzero” and occasionally my moniker half makes mixes for general public consumption. It has been a while in coming for this installment with most of my time lately being devoted to throwing a party rather then playing one. Come see me play at FUBAR the night before our party.
