Two Track Tuesday: The Presets and LCD Soundsystem

Apocalypso, i said in a an earlier post that i hoped it wasn't going to be a let down, now whether it has been or not, I'm undecided. Sure there are some cool tracks, some new sounds, nothing unoriginal or anything, but i just don't like it at the moment. I loved Beams, songs like Girl and the Sea, and Down Down Down i can listen to over and over, but yeh. So the song I'm bringing to you this week is the song from Apocalypso where i think they got it spot on.

mp3: The Presets - Yippiyo-ay

LCD Soundsystem's "Daft Punk is Playing is My House" is an awesome track, but what's even better is the Soulwax Shibuya Remix of the track sampling all different daft tracks right through it. It's not new or anything, just another must have song.

Is Billy Corgans this weeks Friday Fuckwit?

The presets news just keeps flooding in this week.

Reports have filtered into trade hooks. central, that during the gold coast v fest, billy corgan was not too happy that he had to share his headline slot time with the Presets. Billy Corgan is a renown douche bag, who had some amazing songs in the 90's, but hasn't really pulled too much shit together this century.

Apparently he was pissed that in between gaps in his songs, the sound of thousands of muddy kids raving to a throbbing four four kick was audible from the other side of the field. According to the Presets' Kim Moyes, "Billy Corgan slagged us off on sunday", "Everytime he stopped a song he's look over and see our crowd having the best time of their lives. You Know, he's pretty miserable. I guess he was just jealous."

Kim continued, "He was complaining about how all he could hear was the kick drum, and his band started to play along to what they could hear. Of course, none of them have any groove, so apparently it sounded terrible. Apparently he told the crowd to go and bash up our crowd."
He also requested one of those machines that restart your heart if you have a heart attack, at a recent mtv live gig.

Billy Corgan (below) = Fuckwit























He is testament to the idea of quitting whilst you are ahead, rather than reforming and everyone hating you.
