IT'S TRUE. This is our very last post ever.
When we (Pony & I) came up with the idea for the famousish, all we wanted to do was tell people where and how to have a good time and poke fun at the ridiculousness that is our Austin nightlife. Certainly if there are two people who felt like the authority on the matter, it was us. We knew the blog wouldn't be for everyone, maybe no one, but we didn't care....
Now one year later... it's hard to say what the famousish is. Music blog, party throwers, promotional company...?!?!
Even we here at the famousih have no idea... but we do know that if we weren't going to give you everything that you have expected from the past year, then it was time to quit....
So instead of slowly fading away... or handing the reigns off to someone else... we're simply ending what we started on a high note. See ya!
Hope you enjoyed all the parties... whether it was XXX-Mas in July, The Tough Party, The Cave Party, a Boat Party on Town Lake, or even a "Fake" Justice show. For better or for worse... we hope you always had fun... we only had you, our readers and fellow partiers in mind.
I just want to say thanks to everyone who has made this blog what it is. The list is long, so don't feel bad if I forgot you... PONY for creating it, JOHNNY for helping out (and all your Kanye posts), LYDIA for designing it (you made us look awesome!), BLACK & TAN (the old one) for housing us, RICHARD GEAR, ALLISON, MITCHELL, THE PEEN SCENE, TIFFANY, DUSTIN, LUIS, RAY, MIGUEL, IAN, MARKUS, BIRD, JAY, all the DJ's who came out and played, HENRI, DO512, any sponsors who gave us free stuff, GUS... and everyone else who deserves to be mentioned. Again sorry if I forgot you, you know who you are.
Thanks for everything. We will be keeping the old posts up so if you ever want to look back and think of that year that the famousish changed your life and made you into a bar-hopping, dance music loving fool... it'll just be a click away.

SXSW PRE- PARTY
The Tuesday before SXSW is looking pretty awesome. This one is kind of a no brainer with open bar, good DJ's, our local indie claim to fame, (move over Spoon?) VOXTROT, and supposedly DATAROCK, but I know that DATAROCK is also playing another party that night... so we shall see.
Thursday, March 12, 2009
HMH SHOWCASE
Don't let the word SXSW SHOWCASE scare you away from this show, no wristbands or badge is needed. The line up here is great. I'm especially excited to see CULTURE PROPHET. They've been on my radar for well over a year now, and I think they're due to blow up HUGE any day now.
Dario X
DARIO X is from Chicago and he makes minimal ambiance type music. Here are some of his tracks. Kind of reminds me of my buddy CAURAL's music, who also used to be the DJ for BUSDRIVER. Keep an eye out for more stuff with this guy, word on the street is he's going to be doing stuff with FUTURECOP.
DARIO X - PINK LION (mediafire)
DARIO X - METROPOLIS (mediafire)
DARIO X - IT'S THAT TIME (mediafire)

Win a spot to the PLAYBOY PARTY... the one with CALVIN HARRIS
I know alot of you showed interest about going to the C3/Playboy party to see Calvin Harris.
Well the nice people at the AUSTINIST are giving away a couple spots on the guest list.
THE EGG and KRAAK & SMAAK
There's only a couple shows I am willing to pay for during SXSW, and this is one of them. KRAAK & SMAAK is my new obsession... I am yet to find something of theirs that I don't love. And I'm pretty sure it's going to be a long time before either of these headliners are back in the US, so get it while you can. The party goes till 3am, so get ready to dance late.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT KICKOFF PARTY!!
I have always wanted to play this venue. THe lighting is badass and the sound is killer. Lucky me I get to share the bill with one of my favorite DJ's DROP THE LIME. Much thanks to CEEPLUS BAD KNIVES for putting this on... can't wait to throw down.
EMAIL TO RSVP: KICKOFFTHEJAMS@GMAIL.COM
SHIR KHAN FOR PRESIDENTE
This is from the email that SHIR KHAN sent me about this song. Like I could ever do better.
"I did this remix for a Band from Berlin called "Kissogram". Right now they are touring with Franz Ferdinand and they have a new album called "Rubber&Meat". This here is my remix which only includes the original vocals in the end. Instead I mainly used Vocals from "Otto von Schirach" and made it my hook. The song is about a "Deserter" who actually breaks out of the army (I guess....not sure:)). In my version a drunk soldier is singing "Dance like a hoe" (represented by Otto von Schirach) who likes to shake his booty instead of going "Ratatata" (dropping bombs so to say:)) "
CALVIN HARRIS @SXSW
CALVIN HARRIS is playing two shows at SXSW.
Thursday 19th March – C3 / Playboy Party SXSW

During SXSW the people at Beauty Bar are going to be BUSY AS SHIT. I just looked over their monster schedule, includes three venues, and acts all day and night until 5AM.

TO WISH UPON A FRENHCMEN
How fucking cool would it be if SEBASTIAN TELLIER was coming to SXSW? I would have thrown him an orgy.

Look how cool this "Kilometer" video looks! EVERYTHING IS SOO COOL.
URBAN OUTFITTERS SXSW SCHEDULE.
Here's all the bands and shit that are playing at URBAN OUTFITTERS up on campus. I actually hate seeing shows here... it's such a cluster fuck... and they should really have free beer or something.
OH SNAP!!! SXSW
It's no secret that I'm a huge OH SNAP!! fan. I've brought the guy to Austin twice, once to DJ on a boat, and I regularly play his tracks in my set. Here's a party he's playing Wednesday night at The Lodge. It's a small bar, but it's perfectly set up with a nice little dance floor. This should be lots of fun. And be on the look out for him performing with JEN LASHER... they have a new track out that MIXHELL did the beat for. It's really fucking good, and it's got remixes by CROOKERS, EDU K, and LES PETITS PILOUS.
LATE NIGHT DANCE PARTY
InRobotsWeTrust Blog & POTTYMOUTH RECORDS and some other people are throwing this late nighter on FRIDAY NIGHT... THAT'S THE 20TH. I'm seriously considering doing this. The new sound system at Barcelona is absolutely insane, and you mix in the craziness that HIJACK is sure to bring... it could be epic as fuck. It starts at 2:30AM. No RSVP needed.

Alot of people really like this party and I can see why too. It's right before SXSW so Beauty Bar isn't too crowded yet, the bands and DJ's are all pretty solid, and it's the last time you'll be able to look around and recognize people for the next week.

THE 87 STICK UP KIDS
The 87 Stickup Kids - Born to Role from Dia Creative on Vimeo.
Since THE COOL KIDS are too big to enjoy these days, I was happy to find their new replacement in THE 87 SICK UP KIDS. Hailing from Loose Angles, these guys take familiar dance beats and spit hilarious and fun as shit rhymes over them. Not a new formula, but when done well, it's a thing of beauty. In this track they take the familiar BONDO DE ROLE track "Gasolina," and make it even better. So thanks for that. I can't find any info to see if they are coming to SXSW, but if by chance they are, go and check it out.

ATX EMERGE PRE SXSW PARTY
This party should be something fun to hit up on Saturday the 14th. Makers Mark is sponsoring it so I think there might be some free bourbon involved. Bands are pretty mellow, which isn't always a bad thing this early in hell week. Check out HERE for more info.
Harlem
The White Lights
Belaire
Sunset
Fresh Millions
Ume
Brazos
Zeale
Foot Patrol
DJ Blisson
LOSE CONTROL
I'm sure you've already heard about this.
I dont' know how the people who are throwing this event think that they are going to get half of SXSW in to this small ass venue, let alone all the DJ's on the bill.
Should be interesting.
PAUL WALL @ SXSW
If PAUL WALL is your thing... then try to make it over to this. It's a benefit for a hospital, so you can get crunk in the name of charity.
LOCATION: Aces Lounge, 222 East 6th St
WHEN: FRIDAY MARCH 20th 1-6PM
KNUCKLE RUMBLER SXSW PARTIES
These parties should be super dope. Especially because there's free Sailor Jerry involved, which not only means drunk, but very drunk. Each day has it's own RSVP, so make sure you do it for all of them.

SXSW WILL ROT YOUR BRAINS
or at least it's just about here... but everyone knows that the madness starts now as you try your damn hardest to get on the list for every single party. To make that experience significantly easier... we here at TheFamousish are turning this page into a full time SXSW blog until this thing is over. We won't be doing every event... just the one's that we think are cool. If you want to RSVP to every singer songwriter/country/metal show out there... THIS & THIS link are your best bet. But if you like loud music, dancing, drinking, drugs, louder music, girls, boys, tranny's, all things Satan... than you're in good company!
All events that we like will be listed on the right side of the page. If you click on the picture it will either take you to an enlarged version of the flier, or to the RSVP page. If the RSVP is just an Email... the flier or the directed page will have it.
If you want super super up to date info... join us on TWITTER. We will be letting you know about anything that comes up during sxsw as we get it.
That pretty much does it.
As an added bonus to this post... here's a song that pretty much sums up what SXSW is all about for us here at TheFamousish.
ELI SMITH - PARTY ALL KNIGHT (zshare)
QUIET COMPANY CD RELEASE
Quiet Company is a really fucking great band lead by Taylor Muse. So, most likely, you should check out their CD Release show over at Mohawk on Friday. They will blow your heads off, as well as the Rocketboys. You can sign up for free tickets, CDs, or something over at Do512. Also, here is a video that Taylor worked tirelessly on using stop motion for their first single "It's Better to Spend Money Like There's No Tomorrow, Then Spend Tonight Like There's No Money".

SOMEBODY'S WATCHING ME
These commercials are great. Having gone to film school, I know how hard it is to be funny in a short film, let alone a thirty second spot. The casting mixed with the adorable bug-eyed stack of money that you "could be saving with Geico" are definitely a winning combo. But we all know that the catchy as shit song is what really ties the entire thing together. AFTER MIDNIGHT gives us their version of the original... which is "what you'd sound like if you had talent."*

ROBIN S - SHOW ME LOVE
So this video was just posted on MIXMAG.COM and apparently it's the official video for LAIDBACK LUKE'S and STEVE ANGELLO'S remix of ROBIN S "Show Me Love." I wasn't going to post it... but then the strangest thing happened... as I am watching it, I get an email from SOMETHING WRONG with this remix of ROBIN S.'s "Show me love." It's a sign. Here are both.

THE BLACK KEYS & ART SPIEGLEMAN
ART SPEGIELMAN is one of my heroes. For one he wrote MAUS, which is by far one of my favorite comics... and also, he was the inventor of the Garbage Pail Kids, which in terms of pop culture significance is up there with Bevis and Butthead. I once saw him speak at UT, and they had to book him as a performance artist, because he would only speak if he could smoke through the whole thing. He must have had two packs of reds in an hour. Here's this cool video he did with music by Patrick Carney from the BLACK KEYS.

RIP: A REMIX MANIFESTO
I don't know why I hated on GIRLTALK so much over the last couple years. While I am not the biggest fan of his music, I am one hundred percent down with what he represents: balls out sweaty butt shakin dance parties. I will no longer hate... I'm going to embress the mash-up and enjoy it like everyone else. Here's an interesting doc that talks about the idea of copyright infringement... something that legally GIRLTALK is very very guilty of... but should he be punsished for it?

JUSTICE & COKE... the real thing.
I'm sure you've heard that JUSTICE & SO ME designed a new Coke bottle. I suppose this makes it official, Justice is huge and hear to stay. Can't say it's a bad thing.
EYE CANDY!
Fare Soldi - Survivor from riotmaker on Vimeo.
This video reminds me a lot of the DVNO video. It's a great song, slow electronic beat, with some exceptional vocals from this Italian band Fare Soldi. Check it.

THIS TRACK IS AMAING. Produced by Austin's very own -and with this track soon to be very big - IAN ORTH. Let me remind you this is an O-RIG-NAL. And remember that in a few weeks the learning secret guys are throwing a party at beauty. Bring your A game.

CROOKERS and U2.
I used to love U2. Who didn't? Don't act like you don't sing along everytime one of their songs comes on. But then they came out with "Get Your Boots On" and it was god awful. Luckily, nowadays when U2 stumbles, we have Crookers to pick them up and make them listenable again.
U2- Little Boots(Crookers RMX)
P.S. If I find a non-radio rip, I will post it ASAP.
REX THE DOG
I loved REX THE DOG's video so much, I feel obligated to keep spreading his gospel. This time we have his amazing take on THE KNIFE track "Marble House."

EYE CANDY! SOME THUPER AWESOME SHIT
I snagged this off KIM from the PRESETS' blog. Reminds me of what I want the afterlife to sort of resemble.
KILLTRON MIX
KILLTRON, formerly known as KILLTRONIX, has this nice mix he sent out way. Not too much new stuff here, but it's all really well mixed. Enjoy. And we posted a player for this one, I know some people like those better, I don't know why we never use them.

KANYE'S NEW VIDEO FOR WELCOME TO HEARTBREAK!
KANYE WEST "Welcome To Heartbreak" Directed by Nabil from nabil elderkin on Vimeo.
This video reminds me of a college freshman trying to make his own James Bond intro music video. You know, the right elements are there but the execution is all wrong. Kanye admits that they scratched the whole video because another video came out using the same technique, so maybe this isn't even what it's supposed to look like. Who knows anymore with Kanye, he got so excited about releasing songs he wouldn't finish them so would it be a surprise if he did the same with videos?
MIXHELL MIX WITH LIVE DRUMS!!!
It's no secret I'm a closet Metalhead. I love me some metal. So it makes perfect sense that I'm a huge huge fan of MIXHELL. Made up of IGGOR CAVALERA (ex drummer for Septultura) and his wife LAIMA, their live show consists of her spinning bangers while he plays drums. Check out this mix they just made... every track has live drums on it.

BITCHES ON MY DICK
I haven't posted hip hop in a while but this track is well worth a post. It's called "Bitches On My Dick" by Bishop Lamont. It might remind you of a 50 Cent track and there is a reason for that. It's produced by DJ Khalil who has produced 50 in the past. Check the track below.
Bishop LaMont- Bitches On My Dick (MediaFire)
Guess what!!!!
Yes... it's true. We have no shame here at TheFamousish in posting even yet another remix of We Are Your Friends. This one reworked by NONEWYORK.

NEW PETER BJORN AND JOHN VIDEO!
Peter Bjorn and John "Nothing To Worry About"
So, we are playing at Backyard Beach Bar tonight in Dallas and this video will be a good way to start the night. Watch these crazy Japanese punk fuckers.
WE BE IN DALLAS
VEGA & THEFAMOUSISH (yes MUSSELS and I are now a DJ duo) will be in Dallas tonight.
If you're in that area code, we'll be DJing the Masquerade party at Backyard Beach Bar (7530 East Grand).
See you tonight.
DJ CAT NYC & AUTOMATIC VS LADY GAGA
This got pretty high on the HYPE MACHINE charts... which I was happy to see, because both DJ CAT NYC & AUTOMATIC PANIC need more love on the hipster blogs. Their mix they did 6 months ago is still better then most things we get these days.

The Zack Morris Collection

MOUNTBLOOD
MOUNTBLOOD sent this over yesterday and I liked it soo much I sent it to a bunch of friends and forgot to post it. These guys have stellar production, and really know how to take advantage of high pitched sounds (xylophone) without sounding cheesy. Not an easy thing to do.
MOUNTBLOOD - BABE, I THOUGHT YOU WERE IN FRANKFURT (zshare)
EYE CANDY! BIRDY NAM NAM
So MUSSELS and I are starting this DJ duo thing, and we are calling ourselves THEFAMOUSISH. So far we have been practicing our sets and we are quickly finding that DJing together is really hard. But watching these guys do it with four tables gives me some hope that maybe one day... with lots and lots of practice... we might actually pull it off.
Anyways this is BIRDY NAM NAM, Justice produced one of their tracks. Good enough for me.

2 Wrongs = Okay
Someone ripped this from a live set that THE TWELVES did. Not sure if it's so kosher to post this... so in order to cancel this wrong out... I will also post this unsanctioned picture of mussels at 17. Who says two wrongs don't make a right?

DISCO IS NOT A FELONY MIX
This was sent to me today and I have no idea who it's from. In the message it says DARTH FADER, but when I googled it, nothing came up. If this is yours speak up... I'm loving it.

I fucking love the original of this track. I should have known that Diplo would come out with a remix and do it no Justice. You can't really blame Diplo though, I heard he doesn't even make his own remixes.

NEW LONELY ISLAND!
In case you missed it last night, here is the video for Lonely Island's latest song. It's called "I'm on a boat", and it's fucking awesome. Featuring T-Pain, this track is actually just a good fucking song. I put the zshare at the bottom in case you wouldn't to have the track. Their new album is releasing on Tuesday and I think it's the first comedy music album I will buy since 5th grade when I bought "Amish Paradise".

Why we love EXPLOITED RECORDS
This is the type of track I love to post. Perfect for the club, but also just great to jam out in your head phones. MALENTE & DEX have consistently made great tracks for as long as I've been DJing... which might not be long, but in that stretch of time just about everyone else in this game has managed to disappoint me. SXSW is coming up and SHIR KHAN, head transformer of EXPLOITED RECORDS (who put this track out), won't me attending. I will never forgive myself for missing him last year.
MALENTE & DEX - HEATWAVE (zshare)
and as an added bonus here's a teaser for the ADAM SKY 12" that will be released on EXPLOITED RECORDS.
