Little Dragon Feat. 1-O.A.K., Blinking Pigs (1-O.A.K. ‘God Made Me Funky Remix’)

The freshman of the Honor Roll, my lil' brother-from-another-mother, 1-O.A.K. has done it again with this winning remix of Little Dragon's "Blinking Pigs".

Not one to let an opportunity pass, 1 Of A Kind always lends his vocals to the track, and gives Yukimi Nagano some company of the sangin' tip.

It slaps. It goes. You need this remix in your life. Get it HERE!

HONOR ROLL!!!

Yukimi digs it...

Yukimi Nagano is the lead singer of the band Little Dragon. If you read my blog, you know that Little Dragon is my favorite group right now.

I sent her the link to my "Fresh Kept Secret" feature on freshselects.net, and she checked it out. The above picture is a screen grab of my myspace inbox - a comment she left me. Excuse me while I geek out...

***SWOOOON***

Little Dragon- "After the Rain" Live @ Cafe Du Nord in San Francisco 11/23/08

This show was just what the doctor ordered. The whole weekend was an emotional shithole for me, and Yukimi and crew were exactly what I needed.

This was one of the best shows I've ever been to. Top 5 for real.

The last time I was so blown away at a show was when I saw LCD Soundsystem at The Fillmore years ago. I went cuz M.I.A. was opening, and had no idea who James Murphy and band were, and they hit me. Hard.

Shows like these don't happen all that often, and when they do, you just gotta savor those times.

Little Dragon - Constant Suprises

As if I need any real reason to post any Little Dragon on my blog. One of my favorite groups. Not recently. Period.

Kenny Fresh got some more info on them HERE!

And apparently they're performing in San Francisco at Cafe du Nord on Sunday Nov. 23!!!

Fuck yeah! Stick a fork in me. I'm done.
