Music: I'm obsessed with L.S.B!!!

L.S.B. are BabyG and Pete Herbert. Love at First sight, these two met in BabyG’s native Barcelona whilst Pete was on DJ duties. "A meeting of musical minds, the two connected straight away and shortly after formed L.S.B. with a view to world domination and rocking discotheques along the way"... and they did!!! In 2004 they released their first record “L.S.B. edits Vol 1” on their label Superdiscoteca and in 2006 the first L.S.B. single “Original Highway Delight” was released as a limited white label on Eskimo. In 2007 the second Eskimo single “FOG” was released to an even bigger reception as well as the second LP of “L.S.B. Edits” on Superdiscoteca that sold out the first week it arrived to the shops (have fun finding one!). What can we say, it's hard to pick a favorite out of the Eskimo roster, but here at Manifest Destitute we kinda love L.S.B. (and check out their remix of Brooklyn Jam...it's pretty dope too!) Get their Singles from Forced Exposure NOW!

L.S.B - Original Highway Delight (Mungolian Jetset Remix)
Runaway - Brooklyn Jam (L.S.B Remix)

and now our Lazy Sunday part of it...late as usual.

Last year L.S.B released their third single on Eskimo titled Locomotion. no it's got nothing to do with Kiley Minogue or the Carole King song from the 60's. It's slightly more embarrassing than that (but yet we absolutely love it!!!). In the late 80's/90's, there was a sexually ambiguous band from Spain called Locomia that pretty much popularized House music throughout Latin America and Spain. Their debut album Taiyo sold over a million copies and their sophomore effort hit 800,000!!! However as much as the music sold, the band was probably more famous for their ridiculous costumes. They often appeared in extravagant outfits that combined Spanish matador pants with frilly jackets all eighteenth-century style. Fan-twirling was kinda their thing even if it looked funny to all the Ultra Macho conservative types. Whatever, we gotta give them credit because no mater what, they made a huge impact in Dance culture. Not to brag or anything, but I bet Justin Miller didn't even know that!!! In your face Cosmo Vitelli! Eat your heart out Optimo!!! Just kidding... I'm just happy I grew up in Mexico to be able to pick up that Locomotion is just an Edit of Locomia's well...Locomia! Enjoy it. Disco Ibiza Locomia!!!

Music/Blog: Silly Kisser are from Mexico...nice!

It's always nice when you check your email and find out international relations are not all that bad. Our friends from the Silly Kissers crew sent us a pretty awesome mix all the way from Mexico, but to be honest with you, the selection of tracks was so right on I would have thought it was from one of those Scandinavian blogs. The Self proclaimed Silly Kissers, blog not just about music but stay current with the world of Fashion because let's face it, when the music is this good you gotta look good too. So if you are trying to practice your Spanish I'd suggest to drop the Rosetta Stone and get down with the Silly Kissers. (Ok, finish Rosetta Stone the go read their blog). I gotta say- next time I'm down there on Vacation, they are definitely people I'd like to get a tour of Mexico City from.

On a separate note, make sure you take a good look at the House of House track cause it's causing a commotion in the underground. Released on "Whatever We Want Records" House Of House is a New York City-based dance music duo of Saheer Umar (Super Family) and Olivier “Liv” Spencer (Still Going, DFA). "Not content with the zeitgeist of the city’s dance music scene, House Of House was formed to inject a grandiose and soul-searing bit of drama onto the dance floor, a lost element that made legends of the great clubs of yesteryear. Influenced by the classic sounds of New York and New Jersey Deep House, seminal Techno outfits like Basic Channel and Underground Resistance and the soulful sounds of Imagination, Womack & Womack and Sade." Seriously, Mark E Quark claims that the records was going on ebay for a $1000 or maybe $100? Either way, the cheapest copy in the market is around $50 so you know this is a pretty special track. Compliments to the Silly Kissers for putting it on their Mix. If you are interested, get it on preorder here! (be quick...there were only 600 released world-wide!!!) I'm set...mine's on the mails as you read this. yay!

ps: Mark E Quark killed It at the Phoenix Landing to a brave crowd that obviously has no fear of the weather when it comes to superb music. And Next Sunday, get there early cause the One and Only Maurice Fulton is in the House!!! and check the Dig this week...we are gonna have a 3/5 ad so you know this one is gonna be L-E-G-E-N-D-A-R-Y!!!!

film: Holy Crap...it's Psycho Brad Pitt!!!

...and we can't wait! Tarantino's movies are usually a hit or miss for me and yet i still watch 'em. Deathproof would have been ok had that big ass monologue not been there with the camera always panning down on that chick wearing sandals. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy that he has a foot fetish and all, but I am guessing the only feet we are gonna see in "Inglorious Basterds" are the ones flying along with severed arms and so on and so forth. I'm curious to see the movie mostly because it'll probably stop me from staying at home watching the History Channel and yet another documentary on WWII...seriously though, what's next? a romantic comedy about a man who falls in love with a trany? I would hope so...I'd watch that if it starred Hugh Grant.
