RIFF MARKET PRESENTS:

"REVELATION 909"

Download: Faze Action: "In The Trees (Carl Craig C2 Remix)"

There is no possible situation in which you can play this remix, in which it won't sound awesome. This revelation comes after two months of trying to find pretty much exactly that situation. You cannot find it. I definitely couldn't find it but maybe you will?

Exempli gratia. This is a pretty meatheady song. Definitely the kind of song that some of you might expect to kick off the next Ripster Jock Jams comp (Vol 4 is coming along nicely btw, some oldies, some newies, etc.). By the same token, it's a love song. You're getting the picture now aren't you. I'm on the riffwagon walking to Libation. I'm thinking I'm going to go to Libation, queue up this song on my iPod, hop in the club, find the biggest man with the biggest muscles and the most buttons on his collar, then ask him to punch me repeatedly in the face--the face of a man who wears glasses. "I'm going to leave these glasses on my face too!" I practice taunting on the way down, after hours of similar practice in the bathroom while getting my contacts out of my eyes. The bottom line is it's definitely going to add some fuel to the fire. You see where this is going now. There's no possible way this song is going to sound awesome. The earplugs are going to pop out of my ears by the sheer force of this man's fists. I'm not going to be able to hear anything. Maybe for weeks? You don't even want to know where this story goes.

I show up at Libation. I find my man in line. Libation's closed--been closed for months now. My man is actually a friend of mine from the college days. We weren't great friends--different crowds--but we definitely sat next to each other in section. He's working at a bank now and spends what little time he has to himself at the gym lifting weights. He doesn't even do cardio anymore, he thinks it's a waste of time.
