  RE-MASH ARTIST MAX TANNONE AT IT AGAIN: GHOSTFUNK

  July 13, 2011

   
  NYC re-mash artist Max Tannone, aka DJ Minty Fresh Beats, has been at it for a while and continues to combine full length albums of remixed music of artists, often from different genres, such as Mos Dub (Mos Def / Reggae remixes) and Jaydiohead (Jay-Z + Radiohead). Think Girl Talk minus the ADHD, Danger Mouse plus the Ritalin.
  His latest release, Ghostfunk, is a combination of “Wu-Tang member Ghostface Killah with the sounds of vintage African funk, high-life, and psychdelic rock.”

  TRIBECA FILM FESTIVAL DELUXE

  April 28, 2011

  The Tribeca Film Festival Deluxe event went down at, of all places, the New York City County Clerk’s building in downtown Manhattan.

  Discosalt got up close and personal with Robert De Niro (amidst about 20 other people, but, hey…) Jerry Seinfeld and Quincy Jones. It sounds like an odd group to just bump into on the street and in fact I think there is a joke that starts with the three of them walking into a bar. The celebs were arriving

  THE TIMELESS ART OF BIKE DANCING: QUICKSILVER VS. RAD

  June 16, 2010

  1986 marked a monumental year in the art of freestyle bike dancing on film. Neither bike dancing, the cinema, nor I would ever be the same again. Preview two of Discosalt’s favorite bike dancing films below:

  Quicksilver (1986):
  For Jack Casey, winning is a feeling you never lose… and neither is the feeling you get after watching grade-A Bacon bike dance moves like the ones featured in the biking tour de force Quicksilver. Bacon may have traded his

  GREAT MOMENTS IN MUSTACHE MUSIC HISTORY: 1979: BLOW AWAY

  March 28, 2010

  With Mustache March sadly coming to a close, we want to thank all our mustachioed readers this month. We’d also like to leave you all with some positive mustache music vibes and another great moment in mustache music history – to leave a smile on your face, even if it’s hidden beneath some hair.

  1979: George Harrison resurfaces from a three-year beard stint with the eponymous album release George Harrison. Sporting a very handsome classic chevron and feathered bangs, Harrison spreads

  GREAT MOMENTS IN MUSTACHE MUSIC HISTORY: 1991: ENTER SANDMAN

  March 17, 2010

  1991: Stache-Metal pioneer Judas Priest may have ushered the hardcore machismo aesthetic into metal subculture, but Metallica shanghaied the torch, taking the facial incarnation of anti-authority to the top of the charts…and into the suburban mall.  Metallica’s 1991 performance of  “Enter Sandman” in Monsters of Rock in Moscow is not only a consummate moment in the band’s epic stache-metal career, but truly a great moment in mustache music history. Lyrically, a song about nightmares, this facial hair opera is what dreams are made of — thick,

  GREAT MOMENTS IN MUSTACHE MUSIC HISTORY: 1969: WILD THING

  March 14, 2010

  1969: The greatest electric finger-blaster in the history of rock music – and  one of the most exhilarating moments in stache-rock of all time – involved some very groovy lip flair. Jimi’s 1969 Monterey International Pop Festival performance of “Wild Thing,” which immortalized his iconic onstage guitar-burning and smashing spectacle, was only intensified by the dazzling exhibition of a modified voodoo chile afro-pencil, sometimes referred to as, “The Ultimate Experience.”  This achievement is so mind- and mustache-blowing that it stands as a

  GREAT MOMENTS IN MUSTACHE MUSIC HISTORY: 1967: STRAWBERRY FIELDS FOREVER

  March 8, 2010

  1967: It always comes back to The Beatles. By 1966, The Beatles had reached a critical, career-turning point. Vietnam, social unrest, rumors of Paul’s death, and Ringo’s “acting career” had pushed the fab four creatively and spiritually in separate directions, forcing their tour to an end that year. Then, in 1967, the band flips the script, reuniting and resurfacing with a new psychedelic sound, the double A-side, “Strawberry Fields Forever/Penny Lane” (later released on Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Heart Club Band).

  GREAT MOMENTS IN MUSTACHE MUSIC HISTORY: 1984: ROCK YOU LIKE A HURRICANE

  March 8, 2010

  1984: German Rock royalty, Rudolf Schenker of The Scorpions is not only the heart of the face-melting funf, but has sported a schnurrbart longer than anyone else in Hair Rock. His modified painter’s brush even manages to outshine Scorpion front man Klaus Meine’s male-pattern-baldness man-mane. While 1979’s Lovedrive is considered to have been at the pinnacle of The Scorpions’ career, Schenker proved the band had real facial-hair staying-power, forging his stache into the next decade with 1981’s mustache hair band

  GREAT MOMEMTS IN MUSTACHE MUSIC HISTORY: 1984: HELLO

  March 6, 2010

  1984: The stalker-stache reached a six-month zenith on the adult contemporary charts with the release of  the music video for Lionel Richie’s third single and signature song, “Hello,” from the multi-platinum album Can’t Slow Down. The video, which attracted more attention than the song, features Richie as a bushy chevron-sporting music teacher having a seemingly unrequited fantasy love affair with a younger, blind student. In a surprise twist ending, the student reveals her shared love for the black dynamite pushbroom
