\nMike Simonetti And Johnny Jewel – Disconet Dilemma<\/p>\n

“There’s a nice little story behind this CD: In December 2007, We threw a huge gala on a cold & rainy Friday night in Portland with Chromatics & Glass Candy. Mike came out to spin the party\u2026the after party\u2026and the party after the after party\u2026 We spent the next three days recovering, working on a mix, & trying to find a place for Mike to lay his weary head. The damp & grey climate is great if you\u2019re writing Wipers lyrics\u2026but if you left your prescription asthma medicine (Albuterol) in Jersey, you\u2019re pretty much screwed. Day 1 : Mike stays with Me at chez Ruth \/ Daphne & Ruby (the sister cats) fur all over the apartment causes Mike\u2019s asthma to flair up even worse. Day 2 : We decided to relocate Monsiuer Simonetti to Ida\u2019s Candy Castle \/ Marlon\u2019s (the stray cat) tiger stripes almost close Mike\u2019s eyes forever. Day 3 : Adam & Natty offer him a warm bed\u2026but Pimp C\u2019s (the cat freed from a shelter on the same day the UGK poet was released from prison) dander just about closes Mike\u2019s windpipe. Then it occurs to us\u2026there\u2019s no cats at the studio, so we spend two days & nights listening to crates of killer cuts from Mike\u2019s library in New Jersey. Starting with around 80 songs and slowly narrowing it down to 10 traxxx that really complimented each other. Step 1: Burn all the records to disc through analog preamps \u2026 Step 2 : Edit the traxxx live using 3 cdjs. Step 3: Take the best edits andblend them all together in one long take live to tape. No computers were harmed on the set of this recording.
\nAt Italians Do It Better, we love our computers\u2026 But for a mix this dirty, with almost all live drummers, it just felt better doing it by hand. The end result runs the gamut of rock, disco, proto house, boogie, swedish glam, bizarre italo, soul, & some odd things in between. Not to mention the entire mix is slightly pitched down. Most likely due to exhaustion & Mike\u2019s almost comatose state. It just sounded heavier this way.
\nThe weekend came & went, & it was time for Mike to fly home\u2026 On our way to the airport, Ida chased a Fed Ex truck down Hawthorne. Just in time for the flight, the Albuterol finally came. Mike took it & all was well. There was so much confusion that weekend, I forgot to label the tape. It got lost in the shuffle. Tours came & went. New records were being made, & we forgot about it. Five months later Mike found a rough mix of it on his ipod & ripped a really lo fi version for the blog. The mix exploded (20,000 downloads & counting), but no one could guess the full tracklist. A couple of months ago we started Perseo & around that time I found the original mix in Portland. Here it is \u2026the way it was meant to be heard. Fully remastered back through tubes.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
