On hiatus/dead :(
With FavMusic launching, it's time to get this party started, and I haven't heard any track better for getting people on their feet recently than this mash-up from the Best of Bootie 2005 album. I can't play it just once, and I can't help singing along. I'm sure I bugged the crap out of my cousin today, interjecting, "You got to set 'em up, ooh, ooh, yeah!" into conversations just because I had this song stuck in my head.
A 30-second preview's up top! You can also find out more about the track on Last.fm. (Last.fm is usually my first stop when I'm looking for information about a song or artist, so I'll probably link there every time.)
I have to admit that a lot of the greatness of this track comes from LCD Soundsystem's "Daft Punk Is Playing at My House," which is fantastic on its own. Though comparatively bare, it dominates the Bootie mix. It's a great idea that DJ Riko took to one wonderful extreme. So which one I'm more into changes with my mood, but for what it's worth, I've been digging the Bootie version for several days now.
Here's "Daft Punk Is Playing at My House" for comparison (and because I love the video):
Anyway, I'm excited to have the site live on the web, so I'm posting a little early. I'm going to try to stick to the schedule from now on.
And if this kind of music isn't your thing, don't worry, because even though that's what I've been listening to recently, I've got plenty of stuff in my backlog that's completely different. :)

Can you spot all of them? You'll have to have a pretty large monitor or have a clever right-clicking finger to do it. ;p
