The Night Mix (Saturday Night) 2008-06-14 17:38:52 So out of boredom today, I decided to make a new mix. Much to my surprise, it only took me a few hours. So if you’re heading to a party tonight and you need some music, you might consider this tracklist:
SSO - Tonight’s The Night
Cam’ron / Ludacris - Hey Ma / Move Bitch (NSFW Edit)

New Chae Hawk EP 2008-06-12 19:13:22 Local boy, Chae Hawk, just dropped his EP, Nickel City Varsity. Well worth a listen.
Chae Hawk - One 2 Many
Shill: WaxPoetics 2008-06-11 19:47:47 When it comes to music, no matter what the genre, it’s hard to escape the narcissism of taste. How many times have you met someone who has professed about how they grew up on their parents’ record collection, which, by all accounts, had to have been the most extensive record collection on the face of [...]
Its Been Tough, 50… 2008-06-10 19:35:55 The world’s most famous skeptic of technology, 50 Cent, just can’t catch a break. First, the dude’s trying to burn his girlfriend’s family, and then, in the ultimate slap in the face to “Fiddy”, Steve Jobs tells the world that no one is tired of the iPhone. He even had the nerve to give it [...] Read more:Tough
Hello Buff Male Saxophone Fans 2008-06-08 19:28:45 It has come to my attention that the top search leading to my website has to do with people searching for buff men playing the saxohphone. No shit! Welcome, perverts. Read more:Hello
Never Over 2008-06-07 20:24:10 Just got done working on an edit of France’s own Vitalic for an upcoming mix I should be putting out sometime soon. Put the finishing touches on Poney this morning. Hope you all enjoy this for now. I’m also working on an EP of all originals which is coming along quite nicely. Should have a track [...]
It’s Almost The Weekend! 2008-06-05 13:46:02 Today is Thursday. That’s one day away from the official start of the first weekend in June. And thing have started with a loud bang so far. The other day Ed Banger released Volume 3 of it’s “Best of…” of series. If you are still one of the 4 people on the planet that don’t [...] Read more:Almost

Oops, The Internet! 2008-05-31 18:20:27 Speaking of our friend, Mr. Lil Wayne, the internet has been going crazy with some leaked tracks of his. The album isn’t out till June 10th but get yourself a taste. Now I’m not keeping these tracks up for long so get them while they aren’t hot yet. Thanks hithiphop.

Lollipop Still Sounds Just As Good As The First Time I Heard It 2008-05-29 18:00:11
Correction; The first time I heard “Lollipop
”, I really didn’t like it. I was like “What is this singing shit?” But one time, I sat home alone in my mutil-million dollar Western New York studio, lit some candles, and looped the chorus over and over again for 4 hours with my eyes closed. Oh you [...] Read more:Sounds

So How Old Do YOU Think Busy P Is? 2008-06-17 19:00:41 No disrespect to the guy but seriously… how old?
I keep hearing people tell me that 30 is the new 20. No. 30 is when I have to start putting on a suit to work and think about having kids but god bless the people who never give it up. People like this give me a [...]
Batmusic 2008-06-16 20:00:28 Kiss From A Bro
The new Batman movie is coming out next month and from as far as I can tell, it’s going to probably make up for wasting my money on The Happening. I thought this might be a good opportunity to go over the history of how awesome Batman soundtracks used to be. Do [...]
It’s Lupe 2008-06-27 22:32:37 In this era of electronic music, will the phrase “guitar pedal” be synonymous with bicycles and DIY bicycle gangs or will the world find a way to pick up physical instruments when music recycles itself back to the 90s again? Either way, these new pedals will be finding their way on my bicycle this summer.
Hey! [...]
Shill: MONEY$NAKE 2008-06-26 19:06:35 Continuing on with today’s unrelated to MP3s or music posts, Dirty Agency officially endorses MONEY$NAKE as its message board of choice. Good friend / often collaborator / mentor, Frank is currently running this board which is pretty much about nothing at all. This makes it full of potential to be completely inappropriate and do the [...]
Budget Studio 101 2008-06-26 18:50:08 I have to admit, I’m pretty impressed with myself right now. It’s not often I build something of such sheer awesomeness that I feel the need to go on the internet and be like HOLY SHIT DUDE! But seriously, I’ve been a little lax lately while I’ve been setting up this beast in my studio. [...]
UMYO Gives Us A Milli 2008-06-23 18:01:55 Swedish sensation, UMYO, drops a new mix on us today. Pretty hot stuff. Mamma Erik and DigitAlex are holding it down in Stockholm.

Wax Poetics Digital is Online 2008-06-22 19:37:19 One of the better reads out on the market has now just thrown its name into the MP3 game. Featuring 320 kbps tracks with no DRM, check out Wax Poetics‘ new digital download store. Plenty of great re-issues here that are too numerous to even list. $1.11 per track is a bit steep but where [...] Read more:Digital
Girl Talk - Feed The Animals [Review] 2008-06-19 21:30:36 Yesterday, I watched a lecture on music from Evelyn Glennie, a world renowned deaf percussionist. In it, she talks about listening to what is NOT in the music she is reading in front of her. Rather than simply playing back that which is in front of her, she separates the technician from the interpreter.
It’s difficult [...] Read more:Animals

Comfort, Burn 2008-07-11 17:13:03 For those in the Western New York region, just thought I’d give you all a heads up of a show in Buffalo that will be up for about a month at Big Orbit Galley and Artspace. You may or may not be familiar with some of the artists but it does sound pretty fun.
Here’s a [...]
Bloody Beetroots Mini-Mix 2008-07-09 16:56:25 XLR8R just posted a nice little mix from The Bloody Beetroots and it nearly disabled my speakers. It’s pretty loud. From XLR8R:
Hailing from Italy, The Bloody Beetroots are currently making gritty music for dirty dance floors worldwide, with performances booked in three different continents over the next few months. Despite a busy schedule of rocking [...]
How Much Do You Love Sigur Ros? Honestly. 2008-07-08 17:45:00 A while ago, I was really, really into Sigur
Ros. I don’t disagree with most people. They are a good band. They are a talented group of Icelandic individuals. But, pardon my blasphemy, I get it. I was really excited when I first heard these guys. These days, it’s not that they aren’t making bad [...]
I Survived World War III 2008-07-07 20:27:08 This year’s 4th of July weekend can best be described with this Oscar-winning movie’s poster:
Oh Jay Hernandez, you old chestnut. Then, this morning I woke up for my job and felt a lot more grounded in reality:
Ah yes. Sweet, sweet reality. Then I realized that in my drunken-firework-exploding, mixed-martial-arts-watching, bicycle-moving, patio-partying ways that it might [...] Read more:World
Huey Lewis Sings About Weed For Movie About Weed… Finally 2008-07-02 17:41:35 Furthering proof that Pineapple Express is NOT for the children, Huey Lewis
has just polished up his theme for the movie Pineapple Express. Yeah. Who remembers that guy? Not children! Does Huey Lewis doing the theme suddenly remove the hipster schtick from using M.I.A. in the trailer? Does it suddenly turn Seth Rogan into Michael [...] Read more:Finally
Dirty Agency’s Best of June 08 2008-06-30 17:17:10 With America’s birthday coming up in July, we have a lot to look forward to:
But let’s not forget how awesome June was. So we’re going to try something a little new here. Every month I’m going to post my top five songs for that month. To add to the confusion, it won’t necessarily be new [...]
Pineapple Express is NOT for the Children 2008-06-30 16:30:20 In what will probably be the funniest movie (or only funny movie) this year, Pineapple Express
, released a red band version of the trailer a little while ago. It’s pretty much the same thing except 3 more swear words, 2 genitalia references, and a few more weed references. Is Seth Rogan killing it or what [...] Read more:Children
Divine Machine 2008-07-25 09:08:06 Divine Machine
is what happens when the love of analog meets the obsession of horror. And it never hurts to have one of the most talented tattoo artists in the country, Cory Cudney, taking his passion of said genre and plowing it through Buffalo, NY. One listen of any of their recordings draws so many [...] Read more:Divine
Who Will Remix Paper Planes Now? 2008-07-22 09:33:31 Continuing on with posting weekly Paper Planes remixes, this one comes from MC Chris. Is it time yet for M.I.A. to put this song into retirement yet? So many people have put their hand in this song at this point and unless something blows me away, this is going to be the last Paper Planes [...]
Where Were The Parents? 2008-07-21 09:00:20 In the 70s, your parents may have missed the boat on some things. They probably liked The Beatles and the Rolling Stones but then fell into disco and did tons of drugs and then OOPS! Kids! Now, I wasn’t around in the 70s. I’m only in my mid-twenties. But being the curious MP3 blogger that [...] Read more:Parents
Who Will Watch The Watchmen? 2008-07-17 17:22:11 You.
EDIT: Warner Bros. deemed this inappropriate for YouTube. Looks like we’ll have to rely on our friendly Russian neighbors. Here you go.
Shrouded In Secrecy 2008-07-17 15:52:11 Among a lot of the garbage you can find on MP3 blogs, sometimes you come across some real keepers. There have probably been two real great acts that Discodust and Winnie Cooper have brought to my attention that I really need to start hearing more of. But instead of rehashing the same songs you can [...]
