Millions of international readers of Uncle magazine and UncleEmpire.com have already been introduced to the musical stylings of the LA-based one man band, Kissed Her Little Sister. But, if you hungry jackals have already checked him out on MySpace and still crave more carcass for your earholes, we recommend the first installation of the Hi-Lo mixtapes, designed by Jef for Uncle. Call Ted, get in your time traveling phone booth, and tune in to this musical voyage that blends a wide array of artists and genres in one clean flow.
Uncle Presents... The Hi-Lo Mixtapes (Number One)
Tracklist (in the words of Kissed Her Little Sister)
01 - Dion McGregor - Mustard Battle
The first track on this first mixtape comes to us from Dion McGregor. He is an accomplished somniloquist. He usually ends up having a nightmare.
02 - Screamin' Jay Hawkins - I Put a Spell on You (Re-Record)
This nightmarish re-recording of Screamin' Jay Hawkins' "I Put a Spell On You" makes me want to wear leopard print and smoke with an ivory cigarette holder.
03 - Wendy Rene - After Laughter (Comes Tears)
This song is one of the few things in life that Wu-Tang doesn't make better.
04 - Foster Sylvers - Misdemeanor
I am really enjoying Memphis these days. (See: Jay Reatard)
05 - Erykah Badu - The Healer
Madlib provides the backdrop for this delicious blasphemous jam.
06 - The Budos Band - Origin Of Man
The Budos Band hails from Staten Island, but I wouldn't have guessed that.
07 - The Blue Ribbon Glee Club - Waiting Room
I was recently thinking about starting a fugazi cover band and charging 6 dollars for shows. I think this cover band has about 30 members, so I am guessing they play for beer.
08 - Harry Belafonte - Mama Look a Boo Boo
No one ever told me to dive deeper into Harry Belafonte. They were wrong.
09 - Ruppie Edwards - Ire Feelings (Leggo Skanga)
Rupie runs a record store in London these days. I bet it is super chill.
10 - Daniel Johnston - Walking The Cow
A Daniel Johnston song that gets better with many listens.
11 - Son Lux - Betray
Son Lux is a rad dude on anticon. Here he gives us a real pretty song. He remixes as well.
12 - Aphex Twin - Penty Harmomium
Aphex Twin is probably my favorite ginger kid from Cornwall.
13 - Brian Eno - The Big Ship
Here comes "The Big Ship". Smooth sailing ahead.
14 - Portishead - Magic Doors
Peep the horns around 2:20. Such a neat sound.
15 - Hercules & Love Affair - Time Will
I've been having a little love affair of my own with this hercules' track.
16 - Danger - 11h30
Danger is French and mysterious and that never hurt nobody.
17 - Felli Fel - Get Buck In Here
I really had to dig deep for this one. Felli Fel kills it, backed by posse of old pros. So sexy with :30 seconds left.
18 - Big Ben - Chimes Of Midnight
Goodnight.
Enjoy.
