Beat Meet: DJ, Mix Me a Mix Edition

Lots of LOOOONG mixes for this installation of the Beat Meet, so i hope you've got some time mapped out for all this noise i'm bringing your way.

To get things rolling, however, let's start with the thin mint goodness of "Why Like This?," another track from Teebs' forthcoming Ardour. If the first two tracks are any indication, the latest Brainfeeder uber-beat-maestro is going to have his own entry in the "Top 10 Beat Albums of 2010" like so many of his other label mates seem to be doing this year.

mp3: Why Like This? (Teebs from Ardour)

To help Mary Anne Hobbs close out her final show on BBC Radio 1, Burial and Kode9 put together the following mix. If you don't know who MAH is, you probably have no business reading this particular column. Regardless, this mix does not disappoint.

i keep trying to spread the love for Andreya Triana, but i'm not sure if the message has been well received. Perhaps this mix from the good folks over at The Couch Sessions, highlighting far more of her career than i have, will help to prove my point.

mp3: The Dream Suite Featuring Andreya Triana (JConda from The Couch Sessions Presents...)

If Flying Lotus says to check out a mix, well, you check out a mix. You can decide for yourself whether or not he's on spot this time with the latest from Lukid. Personally, i say the Floating Flower remains on the money with this banger filled with new and exclusive material from the extended Brainfeeder family, but you're big kids now. You can make your own decisions. Hopefully, we've been raising you right, so it's all good.

Ed. Note: i don't normally comment on the accompanying post pictures, but is it just me or is the Buddha totally scoping out that DJ's ass? Good on you, Fat Buddha!

The Greatest Getting Ready To Buy A House Mix You Will Ever Hear

(Ed. note: i actually wrote this entire thing yesterday afternoon, but thought i'd have time to post it last night since i hadn't finished the links. Guess i was wrong on that one. Oops.)

OK, kids, i'm going to put together a bid to purchase a house in a couple of hours, so that's obviously going to reflect in this here post o' mine. C'mon, you know how things work 'round these parts by now, don't you? If not, you may really want to rethink majoring in Terrible Chrisology. Sure, the lab work seemed light at first glance, but you knew the readings were going to be killer. Plus, who could have guessed that all that nude modeling was required? What's really disappointing, though, is that your parents honestly believed this was going to be the semester you finally graduated. And now you've let them down again. i hope you are satisfied. Ass hat.

Changing topics completely, anyone out there a Gabriel Garcia Marquez fan? Specifically, have you read The Trail of Your Blood in the Snow? i cut my cuticle nearly seven hours ago, and the damn thing is still bleeding. That can't be good, can it?

Now back to the Greatest Getting Ready To Buy A House Mix You Will Ever Hear...

The Missus probably will disagree, but one of the things i'm most looking forward to regarding buying a new house is the opportunity it will allow me to have a room dedicated entirely to ninjas. While i may or may not be kidding, was your immediate reaction that such a room was incredibly cool or patently lame? Factor your geekdom quotient accordingly. One million bonus points if you're female and went with the former.

Who doesn't want their home to be a metaphor for illicit sex? Nobody. Not even your grandfather. While that's probably not the actual metaphor that Zero 7 was shooting for on this track, i stand by my initial statement.

mp3: Home (Zero 7 from When It Falls)

Good advice is good advice.

mp3: A House is Not a Home (Field Music from Tones of Town)

This is going to be the third house we've tried to purchase (first one, the preggers wife of the selling couple went hormonal and decided she didn't want to sell after all; second one, guy didn't like our bid, which was his problem, as he was approximately $100K overpriced; and now this one). Of course, we've already sold the place we live in and have to move out in a few weeks, meaning it's either moving into the Ps' basement or out on the streets if this bid doesn't happen.

mp3: Homeless (Burial from Untrue)

As long as it doesn't go as bad as this, though, i'm sure we'll be fine.
