You know how sometimes you’ll play games with people where they throw out an idea or a word at you and you have to say the first thing that comes to mind? Well I think that if someone ever said, “favorite beat” I would say Ginuwine’s (or Timbaland’s because he produced it) “Pony.” I hate playing favorites because, for me, the best is always in a state of flux, but every goddamn time this song comes on I can’t help be blown away by it. It’s the kind of beat that requires you take the rest of the week off when you finish it. There is just no more for you to do, it’s vacation time. And because I love this beat so much, I wanted to show you this dubstep remix of it done by Boson. But don’t worry. Even though the beat is deconstructed down to the essentials, it still retains a lot of the slow creep of the original. I think you’ll have a hard time not liking it.

I’d like to clarify that for this show they cut off the back half of Neumo’s floor with a curtain and had the upstairs bar closed. It made Neumo’s obviously seem much smaller than it is. Unfortunately, now having seen Neumo’s fully open at another show I can say that this show was very empty. Still White Denim and Brazos rocked.

I agree, it’s very good. Way to deflate their balloon.

Love the photos. And that “Walkabout” song is the drugs.

Wow… really sad there are no Chicago dates for this. Can’t wait to hear how the PHJB benefit compilation sounds. So many amazing musicians and for a really great cause as well.
