I’m a little pissed off at SoundCloud right now, but unfortunately, I’m bout to plug their service, once again. I logged into my account today to try and upload the set list for the Hood Internet show that went down last week @ The Majestic Cafe but their upload service is still down for some reason (or maybe just for me?). Anyways, I was immediately alerted that the Hood Internet and Gigamesh had recently uploaded new tracks each. The Hood Internet track was ok, but I’ve been giving them a lot of love and I thought I’d highlight Gigamesh today, an amazing DJ from The Twin City. Gigamesh has a talent for taking lesser known artists and good indie acts and tacking on a really flashy and fun disco sound. His tracks rarely disappoint and are always at the very least innovative.
It’s no secret by now that I love Adult Swim, and consequently I stay up way too late watching it (like right now, 2:40 a.m. already?!). There is a definitely a reason I’m such an Adult Swim fanboy though, and that reason can be clearly and succintly summed up by one thing: Pole Dance Hero. That’s right, you read right. POLE. DANCE. HERO. Now obviously anyone under the age of 65 knows what this is ripping off, like Guitar Hero, and the recently released DJ Hero that has grown to infamy. My god though, Adult Swim has done it with this one… You play Jane Doe the stripper, with this encouraging prompt to get you started on a career of blowjobs in back alleys and healthy, promising, relationships with upstanding men named Upgrayedd (two D’s for a double dose of pimpin’): “For some it’s a way to pay the bills, for you its a noble calling. Make that money-but above all make your parents proud. Pole dance…for glory!” If this isn’t the best damn premise for a video game I don’t know what is.
