Zammuto- "Yay"

MP3

Nick Zammuto, member of the The Books, has a personal project. Fans of arty, glitchy cut-up music could be pleased by this first track, “Yay.” Others might be bemused, or irritated, by the by-the-numbers digital splicing offered here. Either way, if your appetite is whetted, Zammuto says his new ensemble should be ready to play live by the end of the year.

TND VS. TSURURADIO MIXTAPE | MP3

So now that the site is back up, I figure I might as well re-post what had been lost on the day the music died: my submission for a mixtape battle I had with Aaron of TSURURADIO. Y'all might have heard what a psychopath that guy can be, and I wouldn't be surprised if he blew my website up in order to in the competition. We might need to do a followup, and make sure things are fair and [ ]. Maybe get a ref in on the action, I dunno. Things did get pretty heated when I invited Aaron on my radio show.

Anyway, this is Aaron's submission if you'd like to review it, but once again, here is mine:

Side 1

The Babies- Meet Me In the City Minor Threat- 12XU Wire- Practice Makes Perfect (70s Peel Session Ver) Weave!- Mouthpiece Hysteria Jay Reatard- Hammer, I Miss You Crystal Stilts- Love Is A Wave Sorry Excuse- This Magic Moment Vivian Girls- No Mount Eerie- Domesticated Dog

Side 2

King Khan and the Shrines- In Your Grave The Dynatones- Fender Rock Gentleman Jesse and His Men- If I Can See You (You're Too Close To Me) Awesome Color- Flying (Single Ver) Screaming Females- Buried In the Nude This Robot Kills- Heavy Mayonnaise Torche- Tarpit Carnivore Sunset- I'm Not A Perfect Person (Looks Like I Fucked Up Again)

Is posting this the equivalent to throwing a punch at an opponent who has left the ring, or is this more like punching a bro when his back is turned? Do you think that's how Aaron will feel? Will re-posting this mix bring up bad blood between the two of us again? Am I endangering our current "good term" status?
