i wanted to do something hot + spicy for our 69th post. keeping track of our post numbers let us post with number associations which is kind of fun and also kind of irrelevant.
!!! (Chk Chk Chk) is one of my all time favorite bands, i've been listening to them since 2003 or 2004, i don't remember exactly, just remember being young. they came up in my shuffle today and i felt like they've been neglected + they're from brooklyn. so here's some background - i was lucky enough to see them live in 2006 / 2007 when they were still rolling with most of their original line up (since then their 2nd drummer passed away and one of their vocalists left to pursue his equally kick-ass group free blood). i've seen a lot of shows and this still is the best ensemble show i've ever seen - a ton of people on stage - switching around instruments - the band dancing in the audience - nic offer grinding all up in their faces. i left the show with my ears ringing for days.
if you're unfamiliar with chk chk chk, they are often classified as dance-punk or post-disco with electronic bits and pieces. they have three albums and they're all amazing. check them out here and buy them too!
this remix was only available on a 12" single (when it was released in 04) and so its kind of a rarity - i ripped it myself by plugging a turntable into my computer. the quality is pretty "OK" because i ripped it long before i understood such things but i wanted to share the love anyway!
