so apparently the song “girl from ipanema” was written about this girl named Heloísa Pinheiro from rio de janiero in ‘64. shit’s crazy. it’s so weird having a face put to the girl from ipanema, youknow?? but yeah, she was also in playboy. with her daughter. in playboy. naked and stuff. so weird…

here’s the most popular, and my personal favorite version of the girl from ipanema.
performed by stan getz on sax, joão gilberto on guitar and his wife astrud singing

stan getz, joao gilberto, astrud gilberto – girl from ipanema

for real, this dude is crazy. came across this interview with GLK from 87sk’s tumblr earlier today and damn.

Where did the name “The Motherfucking Gaslamp Killer” come from?

I got my start deejaying in the gaslamp district of san diego. its where all the pretty people like to go to look at each other and get drunk in there button up silk shirts and high heel shoes. they dont go out to listen to music, the music is simply in the backround & “that outfit” or “thats my team” are whats important. So for the first 6 or 7 years of my musical life, i was being ignored / hated on by these fucking good looking jock morons & theyr cheerleader girlfriends.

for the most part i’m not so keen on all this ‘blog/electro/gritty/french-house’ kind of music. but every now and then i come across some that i like. fox n wolf is something that i like.

i came across a single of theirs in a record store a few years back and bought the record based off the cover art. it was the two of them wearing fox/wolf masks looking all creepy and shit. good enough for me. got home, put on the record and was like “DAAAMN” shit was tight. so here’s a song that wasn’t on that record i bought. enjoy.

fox n wolf – youth alcoholic

but she’s kind of a babe. so that enough reason for me.
music is kinda generic and bland, youknow. every song sounds like something you’ve heard before, but not really in a bad way. just a boring one. i don’t care though. she’s worth a mention on this little site of ours…

ladyhawke – magic

ladyhawke – another runaway

James Joseph Brown may 3 1933-December 25th 2006

James Brown – santa claus go straight to the ghetto

i really like this song. it makes me feel happy. i want to smile when i hear it.
maybe you can smile too. maybe.

ok seriously now.
this is a badass song. if you’re in to jazzy numbers with sexy lady voices; chances are you’ll like this. so turn it up!

annie ross – twisted.mp3
