Special Pacific Rim Sunday Edition


A jumbo arigato to our fans across the globe for the Pacific Rim Emmy nomination/Best Baltimore-Based Blog, but we need to talk. It's wack you guys get special "Japanese Edition Bonus Tracks" where artists cough up b-sides and other studio scraps for your ears only. We're OK with the extra Smashing Pumpkins detritus and other stuff no one cares about, but don't hold back Daft Punk.

Daft Punk - Human After All / Together / One More Time (Reprise) / Music Sounds Better With You (bonus from Alive 2007)

Award for best Japanese b-side title goes to Beck for "Crap Hands" - basically the equivalent of Muscles releasing bonus tracks for Guns Babes Remonade.

M.I.A. - Far Far (bonus from Kala)
Beck - Crap Hands (bonus from Guero)
Boards of Canada - Macquarie Ridge (bonus from The Campfire Headphase)
Doves - Far From Grace (bonus from Last Broadcast)
Interpol - Specialist (bonus from Turn On The Bright Lights)
Underworld - Loads Of Birds (bonus from Oblivion With Bells)

Any other special Pacific Rim tracks out there we missed? Let us know.

Butter Team Weekend Beats Vol. 9















Sweet it's the weekend. Which means shenanigans and then Flight of the Conchords on Sunday night with some warm milk and an empanada. Empanadas are hearty but also very portable, so you can put them in the front pocket of your purple windbreaker if you want.

Something to discuss with other people is Eagle vs. Shark, a "Zany New Zealand Romantic Comedy" featuring chief FOC homey Jemaine Clement. More than a little bit of the Napoleon numchucks n' nerds vibe here but that's not something that makes us angry. Don't expect a deathmatch finale between an eagle and a shark because it just doesn't happen, but the soundtrack is pretty strong as it includes superfresh indie kiwi talent like the The Phoenix Foundation.

Phoenix Foundation - Blue Summer
Phoenix Foundation - Hitchcock

Other unsorted beats:

White Rabbits - I Used To Complain Now I Don't
Interpol - No I in Threesome

"Contrary to what most people say, the most dangerous animal in the world is not the lion or the tiger or even the elephant. It's a shark riding on an elephant's back, just trampling and eating everything they see." - Jack Handy

Watch the Eagle vs. Shark trailer and then leave a smirky comment that shows the world your dry wit. More Deep Thoughts by Jack Handy.
