Our very good friend, DJ Bumbaclot, aka Andrew Veeder, created another mix and we just had to put it up here. It was made for Tadpole Audio, which is a great music blog you guys should also get into.
“Sotto, you may like this mix. It’s pretty dark. It’s sort of about death. It’s about death.”
And I was like: “Sold.”
Check that TL. Of course I love it.
Actually, Veedz explains the mix very eloquently in his interview and even quotes Milton (bonus points):DJ Bumbaclot’s interview on Tadpole Audio
Much love,

No Age - “You’re a Target”
Hey it’s Monica, and I really love this song. Yeah yeah yeah, I know it came out LAST YEAR and this is like, old bag for some music nerds and friends of mine, but I really love it and I think people should listen to it.
This band is lovable. A lot of people on the Internet love this band, and that’s good, because this band rules. The duo-now-trio No Age played at the Eagle Rock Center for the Arts last night, their first LA show of 2010. Original duo Dean Sprunt and Randy Randall added Cundo Bermudez as a third member, to handle the samples (say it - handle the samples, handle the samples! Dork).
The whole vibe of the show was close to a perfect, timeless situation, where young kids take over a great venue to play some punk rock songs.
You know what I mean?
Like, the flyer looks like this and that. Like, the show is in a random space that is usually a church or a school recreation hall, and when you go in, there are multi-colored craft paper bulletin board announcements and pictures of elementary school kids on the walls. The space is usually really clean, but you and your friends are tracking in the mud from the lawns you walked over to cut across 3 blocks, because you had to park reaaally far away. The “bar” is a couple of folding tables, three picnic buckets full of iced cheap beers, and bottles of cheap merlot. Nothing costs over $3, except a rad $10 band shirt that some skate company helped produce. No wristbands, just some funny stamp on the wrist to get beers.
Some tech guys are running the sound board, and the A/V projection stuff, which is “bleach bypass”-y, psychedelic make-overs of French New Wave movies and live footage of the bands onstage. The venue acoustics are TOO good or kinda bad, because you can’t hear a goddamn thing except for the bands. Which is good.
And the kids, the kids. The teens sit on everything, but mostly on the dirty ground, letting the cigarette butts collect around their crossed-legs and Converse-clad feet. The older you get, the more you stand, and your outfit might be a little cleaner and a little sharper. Maybe not. Maybe you’re a grey old punk, with yesteryear’s ear plugs AND ear lobe plugs and nautical star tattoos, but fuck them - good music is good music, and it doesn’t matter it’s an all-ages show. All-ages love this band or these bands, so that’s that.
Everyone’s really polite and calm at the beginning of the show, but the more No Age plays, the more chaotic it gets. Pogo-ing. Slam dancing. A pit. Crowd surfing. With smiles on faces that understand a little bit of rage or the feeling of being the Weird Kid or the feeling of wanting to forget everything and remember everything and oh yeah…angst.
Some things never change, some things always do. Like hairstyles. Those always change.
I’m just rambling about a pretty great party I went to in the Eastside, sorry? It was fun! No Age is awesome! This song is so addicting! It swells, it pushes you back out, it makes you feel young, it reminds you of older good punk/rock songs, and it makes you feel like you’re always going to remember the song years from now.
Here’s a better review of the show and the band and the music (and I stole their photo soooo):
