Where's Your Head At - Basement Jaxx

In keeping with my poorly-established tradition of short and sweet blog posts, unlike Lucy's epic textwall which will go down in history for its considerable length and multiple links (I have only one link), I thought I'd remind everyone about a pretty awesome tune that I overheard when I was standing outside the fence at 'Summadayze' (no, I didn't come up with the title, Thank You.) Protip: Don't buy tickets, just pack some chairs and a bottle or two and sit outside; you get the full experience, less the significant ticket price and having to rub shoulders along side the best of Adelaide social scene, all the while nursing the mandatory New Year's Day hangover.

Anyway, picture me, standing outside Summadayze, cursing the loudness (which was the same at my house). A remix of Basement Jaxx's "Where's Your Head At" comes on the main DJ stage, and it almost totally made up for the sound-test of the subwoofers waking me up at half eight that day. I actually hadn't listened to it in full before, having just assumed it was a loop from some DJ disc of mixing material. Fun fact - I used 'Shazam' to get the artist (Basement Jaxx) while the DJ was 'mixing' the tune, expecting not to get any result. To my surprise, up pops "Where's Your Head At," complete with links to YouTube video and lyrics (somewhat unnecessary, I agree). Shazam is supposed to only be good for recordings, and not live performances, so I found it interesting that the DJ was doing so little mixing and pretty much just playing us (well, the people that bought tickets, whatever) some dance tunes, such that Shazam picked it up.

Anyway, listen to the two minutes of anxiety over the location of [his?] head. Also the music video isn't half-bad.



(Actually this is a better song! It features my two loves, Dominoes and Girls, and a favourite past time of mine, "falling!"
You'll find that these girls fall like Dominoes! THIS WAS ALWAYS HERE SHH)
