Well since micheal seems to have an aversion to blogging, Im going to blog about him. Makes sense? Not really. But, he did make a sick remix a little bit ago that I think needs to be blogged about. Its really nasty. He mashed up Crystal Castles 'Black Panther' and Fat Joe ft Lil Wayne 'Make it Rain'. What you get is the nasty dancehall track from Crystal Castles with Lil Wayne spittin about hoes. Good stuff.
He even made a video, the rockstar that he is.
Heres the track for download. Hope ya like it, cuz i do

A little bit more 8-bit
After tracking down some more 8-bit stuff yesterday, I stumbled upon a few articles attacking one of my favorite bands, Crystal Castles. Apparently CC has ripped off a bunch of 8bit stuff, such as lo-bat's "My little droid needs a Hand." It goes beyond just sampling, which the 8bit community is cool with, and steals a bunch of chunks, including rhythms and structures. Not cool. If you want to check it out yourself, heres the links to the two tracks.
Crystal Castles - Insecticon
Lo-Bat - My Little Droid Needs a Hand
When I listened, they clearly sound wayyyy too similar for it to be ok. As if my dreams werent shattered enough, there seems to be a huge controversy between CC and artist Trevor Brown over CC's alleged stealing of art for use on their tshirts and albums. Once again, not cool.
Heres the picture in question.
Its a picture of Madonna with a black eye. Wonderful. However, CC refuses to give credit where credit is due, and have just generally been dicks about the whole situation. Not fun.
But ok, enough of the anti-CC rant. I still love their music. Kind of like how you can hate McDonalds for making your friends fat, but still love the cheap, delicious food. Mmhm.
Heres a couple consolation tracks
Crystal Castles - Untrust Us
Crystal Castles - Courtship Dating (zShare)
Well, this post didnt end up with as much 8bit music as I was planning. Ill try to throw some up tomorrow, if i get the time. Then i promise ill hop off 8bit's jock for a little bit.
