Skeet skeet that ass indeed. We’ll leave the more sincerely prancing commentary to other music blogs on the internets out there and instead, suckpants-style, riff on the last few days:

• TMYLM music received its first official email from a record label that didn’t mostly suck.  Todays postings come from Ruff Riddims records outta Bostwana and the shit they handed off is amazing… Must mean we’ve made it (kinda).  anyways, to paraphrase professor murder, their science is just too tight! you gotta download it - and now you know its not illegal - music blogs holla yo!
• Seders are cool, but preseders are better because then you can calm down and then keep pumping away… and pregnancy is minimized
• Spring came and went, but yessir the park sitting is back…
• You light up my life was also used to get this girl into bed [nsfw]…
• its SPRING BREAK!! so say goodbye to these weird covers [sorry i missed that party yo!]

Yes, it’s intrepid friend Andy Blumpkin’s birthday, but differently-named and unarguably much more tasteful Uproot Andy has put out a effing bangin new mix titled Guacharaca Migration.  You should go to his myspace to download the whole thing, but here are sum tasters:

This is a little more weird than wonderful, but what the hell–portisheadish strings with some thwackety-thwack percussion and Japanese vocals I can’t make heads or tails of. For when the world starts falling apart a little.

Hana - Asa-Chang & Junray

Today TMYLM continues our tour of aural worldly delights, after a brief respite in honor of plagiarism and death surrounding the blogosphere in these darkened times. Yes, you’ll have to put on your famous sunglasses for these ones, both picked up, sans venereal disease, in a hostel somewhere in the southern hemisphere. First up we have rootsrock band Kultiration bringing in a dancehallish rhythm over some weird-ass Swedish mixing. Sounds lame until ya hear it, don’t ya know… Next up is Colombian band Aterciopelados notspinning out some cool ass cumbia but without the beats so prevalent in, well, these darkened times. Next time you’re waiting in some cold ass line to hear Diplo at your local shithole, you’ll appreciate these in your mind.

Kultiration - Sparkar Och Slag
Aterciopelados - Baracunatana

Without the aplomb and will of a sweater wandering into a suit, it takes a rare band or person to successfully remix drunk singing favorite I Will Survive (curiously unsung at the last karaoke gathering) without falling into full out camp. But before ‘Satisfaction Guaranteed’ became a rallying cry for rubber-obsessed internet fans, Erasure in 1991 managed to pull off a great version that could appease both lovers of intense synth and Gloria Gaynor impersonators. The track remains as ripe today.

Erasure - I Love to Hate You

Imagine sutured ears listening to inane philosophical arguments. Imagine a pulse pounding beat so full of liquid gold it makes the Gowanus Canal seem like the fucking Aral Sea. Trip-hop double-duo single-quartet band Professor Murder kicks off their annual Italian Street Fair Festivals Festival with a piece so wonderful you gotta wonder where they got the drum samples to make the thing fall so quickly in line. Paired with a great drink, this new track has all the makings of a four-million-dollar condo, and then some.

Professor Murder - Flex-It Formula

The Racionais MC’s do a nice turn on a trip-hop standard, if such a thing can be said to exist. The original sample is from Isaac Hayes, “Ike’s Rap III,” in case you care to care.

Racionais MC’s - Jorge da Capadacia

Break out the incense and hang those tapestries!
Tricky - Hell is Round the Corner
Portishead - Glory Box
