you really got your hold on me
by
Glassjaw is a N.Y. based rock band.
Dan The Automator is an amazing D.J. and producer whose work ranges from track mixing for several artists including the Beastie Boys, Herbie Hancock and Depeche Mode to Cibo Matto, Primal Scream, John Spencer Blues Explosion and Stereolab. He has also done collaboration work with DeLaSoul and producer Prince Paul. The point is, you should know who he is!...and if you don't then i don't know what to say.
Now what happens when you combine the two?
Now those of you who may know me are probably thinking she doesn't like hip-hop what is she babbling about? Well this is true, but I must admit, I am a sucker for both DeLaSoul and Handsome Boy Modeling School (<-check them out too!). I personally have never had any interest in Glassjaw either, despite persitence from my buddy Bryan (a.k.a. Ophelia)...and honestly, I still don't like them. However, when I heard about this new addition the the list of The Automator's projects, I had hear for myself, and I'm here to tell you that Head Automatica it is definately worth listening to.
The Vocal aspect of the group may take some time to warm up to, but the combination of rock along with the creative institution of Automator's beats makes for an intense blend of two genres that typically would not be combined.
Listen for yourself...I have chosen the two songs I like the best...and if you like them, then buy the album(or ask me for a copy hehe)-and be sure to catch them on tour sometime(rumor has it they have played with Thursday)... enjoy

handsome boy modeing school? they got that name from chris elliot's show "get a life"
yeah, they sample a lot of chris elliot. either from the show or the phenomonal "Cabin Boy"
yeah, Dan "The Automator" Nakamura (sp?) is awesome. Check out Deltron 3030, one of my favorite albums ever. its a collaboration between him and Del the Funkee Homospian, who is the rapper you hear on the Gorillaz hit "Clint Eastwood" (Gorillaz was a collaboration between The Automator and Damon Albarn).
yea i listen to del the funkee homosapien i have 'Both sides of the brain' good stuff good stuff
I was just gonna bring this up. I loved Gorillaz. Saw 'em in Philly. Highly enjoyable. We've SOME people with good taste up in this piece. Someone told me HeadA sucks, but I'll listen to it right now and decide.
You can't direct link from off-site pages. I'll snag the songs elsewhere.
Ok, I've heard it. I love it. Love love love it. VERY good stuff. I'm gonna snag tickets for the Philly show on 11/11. Very Boss.
dean and i saw them in concert. interesting times right dean. haha
yes, we almost visited NYC twice that night.

can't wait until Handsome Boy Modeling School drops a single that everyone loves and it goes on MTV then everyone hates them because they are sell outs.
amirite?

they play that, umm, "dance party" something or other song on wsou all the time..the vocals are something like "in and out i'm dancing in and out i'm dancing in your head..in your heaaad.."..i think that's their like single or something...i dunno, it's not bad, but i personally wasn't impressed..i have to hear the rest of the album i guess....yo write a news column about bright eyes!!...that stuff is so good
dance party is no good...the two songs i posted are awesome though
well here theyre on a page i made just copy the link into your browser or something http://www.angelfire.com/ill/headauto
Handsome Boy Modeling School has an album from '99 called So, How's Your Girl? I freaking love it. It's essential campy trip hop with a serious old school feel. SOLID GOLD!
YEAH! haha i love that album! it is a must have for any road trips too i must say
yeah, its good stuff. funny samples if I remember correctly.
'i'm a male model not a male prostitute!(modeling just sucks) THEY MADE EM TAKE OFF MY TOP!'
"i'm like a rough diamond that needs a lil polishing thats all!"
"oh my gawd their gorgeous."
