joshcast: clashtrash 5

Music: Junior Wells: You're Tuff Enough (1968)

A'ight, y'all, it's time for some music for your awesome, spring-ish weekend! At long last, the fifth volume of my clashtrash collection is finished. For the most part, electroclash is dead and gone and a new punky/house/electro sound has replaced it. The tempos are slower, so this may be ideal for a sustained workout or jog. Mostly, the new mix is intended for dancing. I also deliberately mixed in a bunch of acts that will be in town for SXSW and playing next week (e.g., spektrum, the secret handshake, and so on).

As an advisory: I do not condone the lyrics! Sometimes a groove is just too good and nasty that you have to overlook the sentiments of certain, er, MCs.

You can download the cover art and track listing. The actual mp3 file is here. Remember, all music files are for previewing/listening only!

Do tell me if you like it, and introduce some of these new bands to your friends! And for you locals: don't forget I DJ parties for hire and favor. If you want me to DJ for favor, well, it involves seven nubile concubines and a lawnchair.
