Beautiful Swimmers - “O Yea”
According to their myspace page, these dudes/dudettes/whoevers are from somewhere in Maryland. This makes me feel moderately better about my native state.

So our last exchange was a few weekends ago, but the mixes everyone brought were rather meaty, in a delicious, dripping wet, 1/4 pound bacon cheeseburger kind of way, and I finally feel like I’ve had a chance to fully digest them all. Lots of excellent tracks, lots of bodacious sequencing, and most excellent packaging all around. Thanks for coming!
Also, should anyone else have taken a particular liking to Thin Lizzy and/or Os Diagonais as a result of choice mixinstituter selections, the albums those tracks are on are both quite rad I must say:

Sent to me the other day by a good friend with the subject: “I mark this as the official beginning of the early 90s comeback.” It draws pretty heavy from the 80s too, but that in no way dissipates my desire for an early 90s comback. TRUTH.
The quick cuts of the video become a bit nauseating after awhile, but the mix by Machine Drum is pretty hot stuff.

In the alternate future-past of 2076 via 1976, robot space stewardesses will play keytar versions of this while serving rainbow colored foaming cocktails on intergalactic flights to tropical cyberpunk star systems.
1200 bones will land you a MK III version of one of these beasts courtesy of some dude in Fredricksburg.
So this song isn’t exactly about a foxy lady, but, well, close enough. To all those dudes and babes out there, be most excellent to each other this evening.
