I saw this amazing documentary tonight called MAN ON WIRE about Philippe Petit’s 1974 high-wire walk between the Twin Towers of New York’s World Trade Center. The movie is beautiful, breathtaking and emotional; I can’t really explain it. Check out the trailer and hopefully you get an idea of what you’re in for. Also, not sure how the commercial for the skateboard accessory landed at the end of the trailer but it’s kinda funny.
“Life should be lived on the edge, see everyday as a true challenge and then you live your life on the tightrope.” -Philippe Petit
I get a lot of shit sent to me; people asking me to post stuff, etc. So when I get something that’s actually good, it’s kinda exciting. This group is from Roanoke, VA and I’m definitely feeling the Hall & Oates sample (see below). Click HERE to download the track. Props to Hungry Heart
I’ve had this for a few weeks but didn’t know if I was allowed to leak and then all of a sudden it’s everywhere, I hate it when that happens.

From Nick:
My good friend Mr. Ducker isn’t a DJ, but he always wanted to make an ultimate ’90s tape, something that brought a mixshow vibe to alt nation sounds. When he asked me to get down with his dream and collaborate, we delved deep into our middle and high school record collections (and used CD bargain bins) and brainstormed new ways to present all the alternative music we grew up on. We were inspired by DJ Spinbad’s impossibly fun ’80s pop mixes: big hits next to unexpected favorites with lots of movie dialogue and interludes for jokes, all smashed up in a dance party megamixxx. Picking from hundreds of beloved Buzz Bin jams was easier said than done (sorry Superdrag, you’ll make Vol. 2!), but with the Mishka crew’s annual trip to Magic in Las Vegas giving us an actual deadline, we finally finished this badmotorfinger as a giveaway CD for their new season. Even with double digit-old tunes, Radio Friendly Unit Shifter feels right on time, connecting the dots between Sonic Youth breakbeats, weeded Lollapalooza rap, gloriously fuzzed-out one hit wonders and much more. No irony, no empty nostalgia, just a lot of music we love that shaped what we do today. They used to play King Missile on the radio! In America! Download and enjoy. - Nick Catchdubs
