What are we listening to?

Here at Zibbudie Babbuhl Lane, we take a break from abusing ragdoll physics, delivering flags, and sticking our genitals into waffle-makers by listening to music. It has come to our attention that even those with less extravagant hobbies do the same to place a marker between points in their lives. Having found this common ground, we feel that there is no better time than the present to share with you some long-standing favourites and soon-to-be classics. In terms of music, that is--not waffle-makers. While heavily relying on our Audioscrobblers and my memory as a source, here is a short list compiled without rhyme nor reason. Well, maybe a little reason.

- George Baker Selection - "Little Green Bag"
Because it was in Reservoir Dogs.

- Röyksopp - "Remind Me"
Because it alone makes trip-hop a valid sub-genre.

- Daft Punk - "Aerodynamic" (Slum Village remix)
Because it never fucking plays in Burnout 3, goddamn it fuck.

- The Rat Pack - "Swinging On A Star"
Because it's fun to sing and we sort of know the words. Mostly.

- Beastie Boys - "Body Movin'" (Fatboy Slim Remix)
Because if you play Defender I can be your hyperspace.

- Muse - "Muscle Museum"
Because this is what Radiohead would sound like if they grew a sack.

- Oakenfold - "Ready Steady Go" (Remix)
Because Collateral.

- Eric Prydz - "Call on Me"
Because neither of us cannot stop playing it or humming it via text.

ex:
Jems: hey bobba
Kyle: lol wut
Jems: CALL ON MEEEEE (CALL ON ME) CALL ON MEEEEEE
Kyle: ;o

- Lil Jon, Ying Yang Twins - "Get Low"
Because we hate ourselves.

- B Rock and The Bizz - "That's Just My Baby Daddy"
Because I hate myself.

- DarkMateria - "The Picard Song"
Because we hate everyone in our general vicinity.

- Orbital - "Beached"
Because we were both taken aback, shocked and awed, since not only is the song amazingly hypnotic, but Leonardo DiCaprio's voice did little to no harm.

- Ugly Duckling - Abigail Silk/Eye On The Gold Chain/Hell, anything
Because rap without "blunts, 40s and bitches" can actually be good. Honestly. "Asked her was she jealous. She said, 'A little bit.'"

- DMX - "X Gon' Give It To Ya"
Because it's what you hearin', and, you know, we're such fervent supporters of delivery that X's suggestion to fuck getting it on our own really hit home.

That's all I can think of for now. The other guy around these parts may add some more.

are you sure you want to live like common people? you want to see whatever common people see?
