And now for something completely...Ken Nordine

So I was in this used record store and the owner was playing this old, scratchy vinyl. Jazz poetry I guess they call it. He couldn't sell me the vinyl cause it was rare and his only copy. And then I forgot who the artist was, and when I went back the store was shut down. Anyrate, I finally figured out it was Ken Nordine. These aren't the tracks that caught my ear, but it's the best I could find on YouTube. Don't worry, I won't be playing this track in a club! I'll add to this post as I sort through the net. But for now, enjoy this little poem set to light muzak!

An Amazing Athenian: Cal Clements

One of my favorite things about living in Athens GA is all the amazing people you meet.
Cal is one of them. He maintains a really fantastic site/blog, and if you have a little spare time on your hands, check out his glorious chronicle of adventure.

Beyonce, Axwell, Armand van Heldon, Avalon Superstar, Dada, Fergie, Bjork & Michel Gondry

Green Light - (Freemasons Radio Mix) - Beyonce





AXWELL - 'I FOUND U' The song is so hot, they finally made an official video. Yessss!





Armand Van Helden 'I Want Your Soul'





Avalon Superstar - All My Love their first hit and still good after a year or two





Dada Ft Sandy Rivera & Trix : Lollipop Been out a while, still lickable.





Fergie - Big Girls Don't Cry (Hommer Remix)Homebrew video, oh well, dance remixes don't get the respect they deserve. This is the remix I've been playin'.





Björk - Human Behaviour (by Michel Gondry)Michel Gondry is my favorite video creator. I used to play the 12 minute Underworld version back in the days at the 40 Watt. My vinyl collection....I stopped getting vinyl in 2000. If I ever do a night based on this stuff it will (well it probably won't happen) but I'd call it "VinylTastic". Currently, it is most satisfying to me to play current dance. But there's no foul in warm 'n fuzzies. And rules were meant to be broken. But for now, just enjoy this exquisite video from the enigmatic Bjork and the hottest video dude alive; Michel Gondry....I love you, I envy your talent, I suck up anything I can find with your name attached. What a combo here: ENJOY!





As I've mentioned, YouTube (or more likely record companies) have decided to disallow some videos to be embedded in sites/blogs. And that's fine. I love YouTube. Just let it open in their own window. Just come back to UP ALL NIGHT (my blog) for my current and recurrent fascinations.

And rent/buy this DVD of Gondry's work. It's great, especially the bonus stuff.

YouTube videos on this blog

Oh well, some of the embedded videos on here are no longer allowed to play anywhere but on the YouTube site. Not a big deal- if you click on one of those videos they just open in another window and play. So the job gets done.

I really like using the Mozilla Firefox browser. One of the reasons being I can have a bunch of tabs open at once.

Oh Snap!

Space Junk

Now Isaac's got a MySpace. I'll def keep the website running, and this blog (especially for videos).

So check out the space. I've added a music player which features hot dance tracks.

I always want you to feel at ease using my website to request/suggest songs.

I want you to absolutely shake that ass. You're hot. And you know this.

Bjork Is Back With A Vengeance

Björk - Innocence - Competition Winner

Add to My Profile | More Videos

The Video was made by Fred&Annabelle of France.

Great to see Bjork back into power mode. Not to detract from her version, but The Simian Mobile Disco remix is fantastic....but I can't find a video for it.

Link Me Up

Aside from videos and stuff on Up All Night, there's also an artist news section on djisaacm.com.

I highly recommend Jason's MySpace page. Hot assortment of djs and producers, and always a fresh house track in his audio player. We've been a couple for eight- count 'em- eight years now! That's 54 in dog years.

None of our sites give away music, they just ain't those kinda sites. We hope you appreciate that!

It's ALL about playing live at a dance party!

Erika Jayne, 2-4 Grooves, Bob Sinclar, Paul van Dyk

Jonny Mcgovern - Somethin for the fellas

Shirley Bassey - GET THE PARTY STARTED

Circle Circle Dot Dot - Jamie Kennedy and Stu Stone
I play the DJ Dan remix...but the vid for the orig is cool. Actually, many of the videos here- I play remixes, and they don't have vids for most of the remixes.

Princess Superstar vs Mason Perfect Exceeder

I'll have whatever he's having

Klaus Nomi 1944-1983. Be careful, the falsetto will haunt your mind for years to come.

Robots R Us

A recent fascination is digg and their graphic tools for reading the news. Addictive.
You'll find cool things everyday, stuff like this neato robot vid.

Trey Parker * Matt Stone

Make it count everyday.

Camille Jones, Armand van Helden, Alex Guadino, The Killers, Peaches, Simian Mobile Disco, LCD Soundsystem, Daft Punk, Underworld, Electric Six

Camille Jones Vs Fedde Le Grand - The Creeps
Cube life never looked so funky.

Armand Van Helden - NYC Beat
It's been said Armand has all the subtlety and finesse of a Buick's trunk slamming. I love that shit.

Alex Guadino feat. Crystal Waters - Destination Calabria
Cheesy yep. LOL

The Killers - Read My Mind
Criticized for selling out, being derivitive. Whatever. They write great songs.

Peaches - Fuck the Pain Away
Mayberry RFD vs Peaches. Brilliant!

Peaches - Boys Wanna Be Her
More peaches please.

Peaches - Lovertits
Still more Peaches. I'm no punk bitch you punk bitch!

Simian Mobile Disco - Hustler
Pass it around.

LCD Soundsystem - Daft Punk Is Playing at My House
Allrighty then, let's go!

Daft Punk - Around the World
This is the one that busted it wide open for Daft Punk. Oh the memories. Directed by Michel Gondry. Still one of the best videos and if you don't think so I'll kick your ass.

Underworld - Two Months Off
Another flashback. You bring light in, to a dark place...

Electric Six - Gay Bar
Ive got something to put in you, at the gay bar, gay bar, gay bar!!! Thanks Trish for tipping me to this.

Glorious classics get nipped and tucked.

Stop Me 1987 - The Smiths original


Stop Me 2007 - Mark Ronson cover


Valerie 2007 - Amy Winehouse covering the Zutons

DJ Mehdi, Thomas Bangalter, Axwell, Rihanna (Seamus & Haji rmx), Datarock, Stonebridge, Ultra Nate

Seven videos - Mehdi & Bangalter do the French Funk. Axwell with the UK hotness. Rihanna with mainstream awesomeness. Datarock rocks. Stonebridge sends out a campy S.O.S. Classic diva Ultra Nate is feelin' automatic.

Photosynth, Digg, Internet Archive

Photosynth is this really cool software that knits pictures into 3D space. And it has an insane zoom feature. I want!

If you don't already, check out digg.com for all kinds of news and video. It's decent.

I just discovered the Internet Archive website. And it's been around over 10 years. It's huge! The vintage cartoon section is fun, stop by and say hello to Betty Boop.

Telecom Giants Want It All

Map of the internet. Courtesy opte.org.

H.R. 1788, a bill introduced to the Congress by Rep. Michael Ferguson (R-NJ), requires the FCC to "rechannelize the public safety spectrum (located in the upper 700 megahertz band) to accommodate commercially available broadband applications." That means Ferguson wants to commercialize what has been public domain. The effects would effectively ruin the concept of a free flowing, democratic internet. The internet we enjoy today would be crippled by a series of "tollbooths" where you pay up to get surfing abilities we currently take for granted. It would destroy net neutrality, putting an evil squeeze on smaller community sites, small internet business, and the dream that anyone with an internet connection can create the next e-bay or whatever. If you don't want the internet monopolized by gigantic corporations, speak now or it may be a lot harder to do so down the line.

Ditching DRM

Exciting to hear EMI and Apple are leading the way to DRM free music. Now you don't need an i-pod to enjoy i-tunes, and there's plenty great mp3 players that aren't i-pods. Word is they're going to improve sound quality while they're at it, which is/has been an issue with i-tunes. Surely fans are going to appreciate no restrictions on use and improved sound. Critics worry that it will create more piracy, and I agree. However, I think dropping DRM will attract more customers and offset sharing. We'll all know in a year or so. And as a bonus, the smug, exclusive hipster image from Apple's ad-campaign has been busted. Now you can buy your junk at the dollar store. Sweet.
