For those of you who don't already know, I kind of have a thing for lo-fi garage rock. Even more so I have an affinity for dance-electronic and disco rap. Right now it's time to relate all of these genres.
The Seeds are credited with being the first garage-punk band and were prescribed the style of "flower punk." In several interviews throughout the years, the Black Lips have credited them having a large influence on their music. The obvious connections lay with The Seeds' Sky Saxon's lead vocals and Cole Alexander's of the Black Lips. Both bands are also known for their twangy, simplistic surfer rock guitar riffs.
That being said, Mad Decent founder Diplo is connected to both groups in a different way. Years ago Diplo remixed fellow Philly group Spank Rock's "Put that Pussy on Me" using several tweaked and filtered loops from The Seeds' "Can't Seem to Make You Mine". Coincidentally, Diplo was responsible for the first remix of the Black Lips' "Veni, Vidi, Veci" that was linked in the last post. I found this to be somewhat interesting, listen for yourselves.

Also, I've added another contributer. I don't know what name he'll use, so I'll let him introduce himself. Our hope is to cover and promote local music events throughout our state during our time here. He is in Bozeman, so likely he'll be covering events there. If you have an event you wish for either of us to cover please contact us via e-mail and we will work something out.
