So if you’re into the whole blog-electro scene, you’ve already heard of these guys. But if you’re not, let me (belatedly) introduce you to Duck Sauce, A-trak and Armand van Helden’s new side project. And here’s my favourite remix of one of their two debut tracks, aNYway.
It reminds me, in this odd way, of the feeling I used to get while lying in bed, late at night, listening to the radio while falling asleep on a school night, and The Cardigans’ Lovefool would come on the air. The lyrics, while not overly depressing, carry a hint of melancholy… but the music behind ‘em doesn’t betray any sadness.
Anyway (no pun intended), I was just listening to this while preparing my famous burgers with my buddy who’s in town from Toronto. He laughed at me at one point, I can only imagine the image: an awkward-looking Montreal Jew standing there, with blood all over his hands (cow-blood/beef-juice, not my own), bouncing up and down with a shit-eating grin on his face.
Seriously, today was an accomplishment. While I didn’t get everything I wanted done, everything I did get to was done right. The burgers came out spectacularly (they led Zac to describe them as “the best burgers [he’s] ever eaten”), the emails I sent were well-received, the short story I hammered out this morning brightened the days of the people it was intended for, and I got another two chapters through Moneyball.
Seriously, great fucking day. And this lingering taste of awesome, awesome beef, cooked in bacon fat and canola oil, gives it the perfect ending.
