Kat (((O1O))) has twisted up a Christmas classic like an oscillator knob on her moog MG1 synthesizer. The haunting melody of “It’s Christmas Time” from “A Very Charlie Brown Christmas” has never sounded so saucey. Here it is for all to enjoy, and download just in time for your holiday mixtapes. I’m almost done with mine and I put it in between Run DMC’s-”Christmas in Hollis”, and Adam Sandler’s-”Chanukah Song pt.III”. Happy Holidays to all from us, and we’ll see you in 2009.

Peace

Oh, and if you have any special Christmas songs you’d like to hear a Kat ((O1O)) Remix to…

Let her know which songs

Long-time homies Thes One and Double K (better known as PEOPLE UNDER THE STAIRS) are celebrating 10 years of making fresh hip hop music together this year. Somewhere during that decade, their path crossed with Crown City’s and we’ve made some very memorable collaborations.

They will be ringing in their 10 year Anniversary on December 19th 2008 at the EL REY in Los Angeles California. And the 20th in Boulder Colorado at the Fox theater.

Their new highly acclaimed (and all around dope) album “FUN DMC” is in stores now. It features Kat O1O, and Headnodic playing bass and keys all over it. Their single “the Wiz” is the new Australian national anthem (…well it should be).  Kat O1O seems like she used the intro & outro of this song as an opportunity to pay tribute to Australia ’s own Sven Libaek (composer of some of the dopest film scores of underwater documentaries).  Their video captures the song perfectly.

Here’s a remix I did on tour. We’ve done a lot of the demos on our new album in the backseats of our tour-van. It helps to maintain sanity on all the long drives.  I hope you like the super-gritty drum tones we got.  It’s simply a Max MacVeety break we recorded in the balcony of a club, with only ONE mic on his drums cranked WAAYYYY beyond the distortion point.  I love gritty…

OH while I’m here, a quick anecdote…  I went with Max and the homie Dave the other night, to go see the almighty FISHBONE at the Independent in SF.  We’ve all seen them hecka times so we knew it was going to be something to remember.  Anyhow, I decided it’d be fun to do some stage-diving.  I climbed up, threw up the horns, then dove back into the crowd.  Angelo (the lead singer) then pulled me right back on stage, put me in a friendly headlock, then had me sing the chorus to “Alcoholic” with him (one of my favorites of theirs).  I’m kinda mic shy so I did the best I could, dove back on to the crowd and swam back to Max and Dave to ask them how much of an ass I looked like.  Moral of the story is: if you haven’t seen Fishbone yet, GO!
