New Yacht Video - "Healthy Student"

Here's a clip from a cool project from The Blow beatsmith and Stereogum Puppet Show DJ, YACHT. This track comprises samples Nirvana and ONLY Nirvana, right down to the fractured shards of drum. The track comes from a split 12" with Lucky Dragons, who also keep to the Nirvana theme by sampling exclusively Bleach songs. Jona's reconstituted bits come from Nevermind and In Utero, and he's called his side of the project We Float Around, Hang Out On Clouds.

If you ask really nicely, maybe he'll spin some of this at the Puppet Show in Austin tomorrow night, right between New Violators (who we saw again at last night's debut US show -- they were AWESOME) and the muthaf'in Meat Puppets. Find us, you can buy us a beer!

that was awesome!
i couldn't tell where the bass parts came from, but the beginning and end were 'Lounge Act', and Dave Grohl's 'ahhs' were clipped from the end of 'On A Plain'.. i also heard territorial pissings (obv.), and i assume from the title 'health(y) student', he clipped some guitar from Drain You :)

Horse Feathers - "Father"

Portland songwriter Justin Ringle's evocative vocal twang and sharp lyricism are at the center of Horse Feathers' bedroom Americana. The band's second album House With No Home, which follows 2006's Words Are Dead, finds Ringle's vision fleshed out by multi-instrumentalist/composer...
