Make an incision, Dr Limpf
March 5th, 2010
I threw together this off-the-cuff mix after reading the recently published collaborative novel by William S Burroughs and Jack Kerouac. The book was written some time before both authors’ respective defining works Junky and On the Road, but has only seen the light of day now out of respect to the real life characters depicted in the manuscript. Bill and Jack take alternative chapters from the points of view of bartender and part time private detective Will Dennison (Burroughs) and merchant seaman Mike Ryko (Kerouac). It’s fascinating to see the nascent character types and motifs that would become prevalent in their later works. It’s like hearing an early but very polished demo.
Here’s a grip of mostly unrelated beats for the boiling of river mammals. This one goes out to my man Elijah. Tracklist after the jump, and in the ID3 info.

Long strokes of the Sabre to you.
Tight, very tight, the kinda tight that excites a man.
puckered tight.
longer mixes please… the drugs are good, just need a larger hit.
… and fix your ‘title unknown’ in rss feed.
now to share rather than criticise. your portishead track made me think of http://soundcloud.com/omegadubstep/portishead-western-eyes-omega-refix in case you haven’t heard it. such a subtle modification as far as remixes go.
