Wicked time last night at Les Deux — lots of laughs (including some choice snickers at a certain once-was too old to possibly be a high school student and yet did actor…) and great company!
[UPDATE: Jenny has some more choice details regarding yesterday evening...]
Wow, I didn’t think anyone else liked MSTRKRFT. I followed the band Death From Above 1979 until Jesse F. Keeler joined MSTRKRFT. Both bands are amazing. I guess Canada and France are just the pioneers of house and indie punk (c’mon, Daft Punk rocks).
MSTRKRFT actually remixed a couple a’ DFA songs if you couldn’t findem: “Sexy Results” and “Little Girl”.
I felt the same way! Yep – I had those for a while and they’re my no-fail songs for when I want to kick it up a notch on the treadmill…so many remixes are overdone and take away from the original song – somehow he amplifies everything he touches…it rules. Thanks, Shimmy!
