and i'm back!

cousin cole first came to my attention for his mind-blowing remix of timbaland's way i are last year. taking the main riff from marva whitney's unwind yourself, he gave the brooding, almost sinister track a completely new meaning. one of straight up FUNK. then recently he turned his hand to kanye's love lockdown, turning another brooding warble-fest into a disco anthem (check it on his myspace), before revisting champion from 2007's graduation, giving it an acid house slant, both slow and fast.

now he's back, tackling the lonely island's jizz in my pants. you might know this song from the hilarious snl sketch. i don't pay much attention to youtube, but this got the most laughs out of me all year, and the song is pretty catchy too. just don't sing it round your mum. anyway, he's given it a proper house makeover, so it'll fit in better with proper club music. enjoy. and if i don't hear this blowing up spots in 09, i won't be happy.

The Lonely Island - Jizz In My Pants (Cousin Cole House Edit)

what a surprise...

another diplo post.

pitchfork tells of a forthcoming diplo compilation, it's not till january but it'll be a beaut. obviously... i'm particularly excited about Smash a Kangaroo, which was released as part of an itunes only package last year. i first heard that particular track when diplo was speaking on australia's triple j in early 07, but apart from ripping the track from the shoddy audio i haven't been able to get my hands on it properly. also of note is the official title of the work is never over track. not a kanye remix after all bloggers... and then of course there's 200. whassa? maybe he'll play it at whp...
