CHANGES VIDEO!!! SWAGGIN’ PEACOCKIN’ ETC.

here it is. the video for “Changes (I’ve Been Jukin’ Thru)” from my JUKEWORX EP. It features footage compiled from the last year or so, and features the changes i’ve been going thru, production and life-wise: footage from working on tracks in the tour van on the road with my band HOT GRAVES, soundchecking for DJ performances, hanging with BEEZ, meeting YELAWOLF, partying in Miami with my SHROUD EATER folks, my son DUNE getting down on some midi production, hotel poolside tomfoolerly with Whitey, Portland OR, general swag and peacockin’, producing beats with the MASCHINE, smashing TV’s, etc.

Yr boy done did it. Not only did I do a couple remixes from my favorite Henry Mancini Xmas album, but I incorporated those remixes into a Xmas DJ mixx for everyone in the world to enjoy. This was mixed on an iPad using Traktor and the best ghetto xmas music you could perchance to listen to, and I do fancy tricky mixx stuff, and I do a live chop-up ov “Xmas In Hollis” that makes me laugh. From Old School Rap, Remixes, Straight up Dance Music, Clark Grizwold, Headnodder Hip Hop vibes, Crunk Xmas, and Beyond. I hope you enjoy this and have a good holiday, get to hang with your family, etc.

You’re Gonna Miss Me When I’m Gone

Here’s me doing a rhyming words song that you might find entertaining. If at any point during this video do you find yourself doubting its seriousness, i would beg you to rest assured that I am seriously serious.

Thank you,

LZRKMMNDR/MR.BAMBÜ MIXCLOUD!! BOH!

YUP. i started a Mixcloud account. so there’s a couple there which you can find also on here, and i’ll be putting my next floor-shaking, bowel-loosening, feet-scrambling, wonk-wobbling, booyah-tribe-summoning mixx project on there like, y’know, whenever I get around to recording it.

in the meantime, here’s the LINK!!!
http://www.mixcloud.com/LZRKMMNDR/

ALSO. you probably haven’t listened to the BIGGA MIXX Show in awhile. I would strongly recommend this week’s installment, it’s a good time. here’s that LINK:

MR. BAMBU VIDEO MIXTAPE.

Well now, here’s an idea. I’ll just make a lil’ video mixtape for you guys, so you can not only hear some neato funky music, but see exactly how i put my wang down on it. I am in Portland, OR, just performed at a Future Beats showcase night at The Goodfoot Lounge with the awesome Graintable (excellent live electronic performer in the glitchy dub realm, quite tight!) and my man Brazil (Organik Recordings keeper o’ the flame), and it was a blast. I brought the iPad mixing techniques to the people, live and literally in their faces: I was walking around the club whilst DJing, showing people the iPad and what was going on with it, dancing with ladies, etc. Too much fun….

BUT, lest ye think that I have completely abandoned my roots as a turntablist-style DJ (or even worse, if in fact you may doubt that I still possess the talent to do so), I decided to have a little fun and record this video ov myself flipping double copies ov a Ultimate Breaks & Beats record that I picked up at the easily-recommendable 360 VINYL in Portland (what’s up Kez?). I include plenty flip ups and chops, slapping doubles in my particular manner which I have developed over the years, and also included is a tracklisting as the songs go by.

All in good fun. Watch, Listen, Enjoy. THANKS!!!

NEW MR. BAMBU EP DIGI RELEASE TODAY!!! “WHAT WOULD YOU DO”??!?!?

Well, i guess it appears that Mr. Bambu isn’t entirely dead after all. Not all the way, anyhow. Because as ov today, August 8th 2011, the world has access to my latest batch ov tunes (and remixes), which is inspired by and in tribute to the man you see atop my header for this blog: James D-Train Williams. I’ve always said that D-Train is the Black Michael McDonald, and that’s no slight if you know me at all. So I culled samples from his classic song “Music” and made a bangeriffic track out ov it. Then, I sent the pieces to some producer friends o’ mine and beseeched them to do their worst to make my track look foolish in comparison. Then, I got all hyped up about that, put on my LZRSHADES, and whipped out a dubstep-a-riffic LZRKMMNDR remix. And then when I turned around again, RAD RICK and FLACO had both stepped up with 2 completely stylistically different remixes and I was like “FUCK YES, WE HAVE A RELEASE ON OUR HANDS FOLKS”.

So, along with my wonky wipeout “What Would You Do”, there’s the aforementioned dubby steppy version by LZRKMMNDR, the straight up floor-bouncing trance-inducer version by RAD RICK, and the full-on rollers DNB work-out by our man FLACO. RAD RICK’S remix draws you in repeatedly, and then SLAMS the beat back in your face, calling up a strange trance-like tribal aggression to keep you boogie-boppin’. FLACO’s remix brings everything I always LOVED about the whole Full Cycle / V Recordings / Roni Size camp, but with an updated view on things, still keeping effective simplicity at it’s core. In a world where More Distortion = Brutality / Heaviness, it’s good to see my man Flaco retaining power by keeping his productions classy. Drum-N-Bass lives on proper in this remix!!!

Rounding out the release even further is a wonderful track that features the rhyming-words-togehter-on-beat skills ov the one and only BEEZ, aka BEEZ GOTTI, aka BIG STACKS BROWNING. Not only one ov my favorite people, but one ov my favorite lyrical talents on the mic, my man BEEZY comes thru with a total ode to debauchery and having “the good time” on “It’s On Out Here”, and believe me, this is one ov my favorite songs I’ve ever been a part ov. Play this one at your nephew’s Bar-Mitzvah, the family Kwaanzaa celebration, your niece’s baptism, that Kindergarten graduation you planned on attending, or even your next conjugal visit at your local prison: This song is perfect for any situation, it’s like we’re the Black Eyed Peas or something (not really).

AND, as if that were not enough, there’s a “D-Train Bonus Beats” track where i take some D-Train scat and chop and make it bang boogie for ya real nice like.. and also a “Hidden” track, which is the “What Would You Do” track played in reverse… which, believe you me, is super awesome unto itself, otherwise I wouldn’t have included it. I have always said that this was the only song I have done that was so good you could listen to it backwards without diminishing the quality whatsoever, and I stand by that.

SO, now that i have tantalized you with it as such… here’s the links/info:

WHAT WOULD YOU DO EP on BANDCAMP

here’s the Hi-Rez cover art…

drawing by Hot Graves’ drummer MATT ROSARIO. looks like me, eh?

Well, there you have it. My new EP. it’s $5. You should feel awesome about buying it because every dollar you give me towards this buys me more free downloads to give away to people from my bandcamp site (which you should go to and pillage for music, there’s PLENTY free stuff to choose from). ENJOY, and ask yourself..

What would you do without music?

Where would you be without a song?

a couple few thangs…

1. A thought I was having about myself that I think might clear up some shit for some people: I have this feeling like people think that because I am into a sorta diverse range ov musical styles/genres that I am actually open-minded about music. I really don’t think I am. I only like a certain sect ov certain kinds ov music, and everything else can fuck off because it’s obviously inferior (or worse… MEDIOCRE!), etc. I’ll judge an album by it’s cover. I’ll never listen to a band because I do not like their name. Stuff like that.

So, in short, I am sorry if I ever confused anyone who thought I was open-minded about music. I do enjoy talking about all sorts ov music, especially if you really know a lot about it, i’ll listen to you forever and learn everything I can that you say. But that doesn’t mean I am actually going to listen to this amazing bluegrass artist you tell me about or whatever. I also have a habit ov stating my over-opinionated, totally-biased and closed-minded views on things as if they were LAW, and I hope everyone realizes that I’m just having some fun listening to myself be a fucking blabbermouth, and I don’t really believe everything I say like that.

2. I have made a bunch ov my remixes/mashups available for FREE download over there yonder at my Bandcamp page. Many things that were only previously available on vinyl on the Get Your Hand Outta My Pocket series and some brand-new-ish joints for you to love up. Especially look out for the mashup ov Aqua’s “Barbie Girl” and Hitman Sammy Sam’s “Stepdaddy”, along with my remix ov Toto’s “Hold The Line” into a banger beat for Major Lazer’s “Hold The Line” feat. Mr. Lexx and Santogold acapella to ride over, with dub stylings to boot added by YR BOY. you can find that below:

also, I made my Complete Contemplation full length available for free download. I figured, why not? Everyone should have it by now. Enjoy.

3. New technology: I gots some. And I am mastering it up with the quickness and will be putting it on you NEW LZRKMMNDR Style quite quite soon.

ALL YOUR LAZER ARE BELONG TO US

ALL YOUR LAZER ARE BELONG TO US

I’ll be using this to control Serato, Traktor, Ableton Live, etc. I’m just gonna wang so hard you won’t even believe it. That is all. Thank you.

*mindthoughts*

If you look back, like really really far, you’ll see i invented that. And you can borrow it. I slapped a pickle out a bitch mouth at the Patent office, i got that shit locked down. 100 records, 20 with pink vinyl, 80 pressed from the ashes ov all your favorite burned churches. “If… being cool…. means being.. like you (and you), well I… don’t want to-oooh…” paraphrase from Descendents, but you get the idea. Do you know how many time i have fantasized about grabbing that choad by his beard to throw him and impale him on a church steeple like a ring toss? No, ov course you don’t. I’ve got your hell, it’s in my handbasket. In fact, I have more hell than any handbasket can hold. Wouldn’t a handbasket be kinda like what you carry your found easter eggs in? IRONY. You’re the worst. Mineral Water ≠ Mineral Spirits, don’t make that mistake. Also, don’t make the one where you put like Ben-Gay or Preperation H on your toothbrush, mistaking it for toothpaste. Whitey did that once, and i am STILL laughing about it, 20 years later. Which reminds me when Whitey and I were at my grandmother’s funeral, we all had to stand up for some thing to be said by some stupidly dressed cleric fuck, me and Dolawhitez were behind my great aunt Elinor, and as she stood up, she let out the longest, most-controlled and rhapsodical fart one could ever perchance to hear. Sayeth Whitey “I hope I have that kinda control when I get older.” You fell up the stairs, you talented bastard. I used to be married. I was gonna share something personal with everyone on facebook the other day, and then i said “fuck it”. Always the best decision. You win this trophy, here take it, it’s more ov a statue, it’s your special award for lying to me more than anyone ever. Ever seen an elephant balance itself on a barrel? You spend too much time at the circus. Stop it. I’ll shave an orangutan just to prove my fucking point. Every time I think there’s a bug crawling on my foot/leg and i go to look at it, it’s just not fucking there. You’re welcome, no problem, any time (and I mean that). You suck, i’ll give you everything, You’re the best, you get nothin’. Karate Kid goes Back To The Future to fight Karate Man. Maybe he’s no romeo, but he’s my lovin’ one-man-show. If it has wood flute, accordion, bagpipes, or lyrics about some Irish shit, you can hammer it into your ass with a rubber mallet forever. The pinnacle. These are my own thoughts, you can’t think them, and if you do, i’ll reach into your skull with a chain-mesh glove on and squish your brain. Pinkyswear. 48%. I could duct-tape you to the ceiling over that percentage. Think about it. My stench is erotic, and if you find it distasteful you can show yourself out ov my bedchambers, and my life. Rappers need to stop stealing the ideas out ov my head. He fell out ov bed onto his mouth, then i comforted him and stroked his back gently until he fell back into tearless sleep, at which time i rewarded myself with cold fried chicken, San Pellegrino Limonata, chocolate chip cookies and a D-Train video from a French TV show in the 80′s. Can someone turn down my “Jaded” knob to like 3 please? OMG you are hilarious, and cool! And stupid as fuck. No one wants to believe they’re ruined forever, but sometimes you just are. You’re so punk, you’re so hip, you’re so in-the-now, you’re so untouchable, you’re so self-conscious. You’d be better off as a crustacean. I’m a wildebeest, you’re a phantom. No one really knows what it’s like to see the world as a fish, yet you have people crafting “fish eye” lenses for cameras like there’s no tomorrow. I heard you were a DJ, then I heard you DJ, and then I had to re-title you “Human Jukebox”. Roses are red, violets are blue, gee whiz you sure do got some tits on you. By the way, if you cut off Zapp & Roger (rest in peace) halfway thru the song again, i’m gonna slap that nappy fuckin’ afro off your goofy, cartoon-character lookin’ dome. It’s about respect. “Let’s have this theme party!” … “Okay, cool… but let’s add the ZOMBIE theme too!” I’m there dude, get your camera warmed up, I might not smile. It isn’t anything, except for a chicken wing. BOOOOOOORRRRRRRRING. I can’t remember the last time i was bored. It just doesn’t happen to me, i won’t allow it. Life is too short and stupid to waste even a moment being bored (or, more importantly, boring). Why are you even reading this? Don’t you have something better to do? I don’t agree with Tom Petty about anything. Except waiting. But no girl ever wants to dance with a fool who went and.. ripped his pants. Don’t ask me about that Waffle House shit, I ain’t doin’ that kinda shit anymore. References within references. The internet has turned you into the town crier, which was probably just lurking beneath the surface this whole time with no outlet. You live in a house, with many windows and doors, with locks and latches and latches and locks, and you spend your time locking and latching and latching and locking. At that price, I should just keep it, and hand you ten bucks. You want some more apple juice? Get it yourself. You got a lot ov nerve even still being alive. Jack Kerouac and you go to Alaska already. Serving it on a tortilla does NOT make it Mexican cuisine. Out ov the frying pan, into the fire, and now I’m burnt crispy. I hope you like that carbon flavor. Send it back, it’s their job. Do you want the job or not? Thank you for being among my collection ov crazies. I believe the chirren are the furniture, teach them well and let them led the zepplin. Show them all the boutique they possess aside. Give them ascend ov pride to merkin easier. Let the chirren’s bladder remind us how we used to pee. I could cartwheel over there. I could moonwalk over there. I could three-legged race over there. I could walk there on my hands. As in, upside-down. “I wish I lived there!” … “Reeeally??!??!!?” … “No.” Big shout out to my sister. Always trying to get back to that ball-pit, to find something I lost a long time ago. Them mullets is jumpin’. First fish I ever caught was a brim, and it was little. “A friend is a friend ’til the end, but the end lasts forever.. and a day..” Let’s do a split. No, really. A monolith ov text, with no continuity whatsoever. If there’s anything better on the planet, they better hide it from me. Stupid sunshine. Did you find out what you wanted to know? Because I haven’t. And I am starting to doubt that I ever ever will. Okay, i’m done.
