Skream Remix La Roux + Daft Punk Game

First off, I have to show you this song because I've been listening to it fora good 3 or 4 weeks now, and have not yet grown sick of it. When Midfield General played a cracking set downstairs in Mr.Jones a while back, he finished up his set with this beautiful track. Basically, the whole room went real dreamy, as the start of the song is. Then the amazing vocals come in and finally lead up to the drum n bassy outro. Where it uses the same vocals chopped up nicely. It was one of the best finishers I've seen in a while. And because it's a Skream remix, it has that warpy, dubby feel to it also.

Next up. I was on one of favourite blogs Penned Madness there today and came across the Daft Punk game. It's pretty funny and good craic. Basically the story is Justice have robbed Daft Punk's samples and you have to get them back. Simple.

And lastly, just because it's really funny. One of my favourite sketches from one of my favourite sketch shows, Big Train. And please watch it, it's only 16 seconds long.

Oren Lavie - Her Morning Elegance

(Firstly the picture of the wolf has nothing to do with the song I'm sharing. But I've decided to put a nice picture up with every post I do.)


Here's a song that a friend recommended. Not only is the song pretty good but it has an even better video to go with it. You can't go wrong with stop motion.

Dont Be Square( NCAD Core) & La La Land Exhibition This Week @ Mr Jones

This week see's Mr Jones resident Colin Devine rock the main room with his blend of electro and bassline while warm up comes from Mr Jones newbie Frank Sweeney.

For those of you who want a little more culture to your night, the LaLa land crew will be showcasing some of their art work around the venue throughout the night.

Go to La La Land. Stay for a minute, stay forever or not at all. You'll try it or you won’t. You'll love it or you won't.


Photobucket

La La Land is described as art based on lived experience, sincerity and authenticity, playing mischievously with each other and their history and their truth. A personal treasure hunt, examined and broken down to its most basic components, mutated and remixed. Any reality can be embraced. High flying art that encourages and fosters a strong relationship with pleasure and self-indulgence. You will not find loyalty in the elite. Elitism is the ultimate party crasher. You are free to play and make noise



Dont Be Square


The first year students from NCAD (Core Year NCAD) are also making a Mr Jones debut this week with their exhibition entitled, "Dont Be Square". Showcasing the best in all things round, this collective has promised art stemming from light bulbs, tyres and a wheel of fortune.

As always our merry band of reps will be on the hunt for new meat to join the Mr Jones crew so if you want to get involved make sure to introduce yourself!
