Sorry for being so quiet these past couple of months, there hasn't been nearly enough shenanigans coming from The Goat recently, but we do have a surprise for you. We've been working on a few things here at Fuzz and we think it's time to light 'em up. It's been an ambitious project, lots of long nights and smoked cigarettes. I think Arin is actually going gray. So today we're going to show you what we've been working on.
Sometimes there's just too much stuff to add that we can't do it without taking the site down for a few hours. We think you'll think that's OK, since we've been busting our keisters adding more features to the site just for you. This afternoon we'll be pulling everything offline to perform the surgery. It shouldn't take more than a couple of hours (knock on wood) and then you'll forget all about the wait when you see what we have done.
I'll be updating this blog post with any new developments, so keep checking back.
In the meantime, feel free to suggest your favorite internet time wasting flash game (like Penguin Toss or Spank the Monkey) and we'll post it on the page that you see while we're frantically updating databases and hunting code gremlins.

I knew someone would have to do it. Ever since Daft Punk took the turn from the driving, gritty, pounding beats of "Homework" toward the lighter, cleaner tracks in "Discovery" and further with "Human After All" I have been waiting for someone to pick up the slack. I loved Daft Punk, and still do, but I feel like there is something lacking in their new albums.
I could not have imagined that a duo would pop out of the womb of the same label with such an amazing affinity for their predecessors and a penchant for exactly my kind of music. Its like Daft Punk was frozen in 1997, cubed, mashed, electrified and revived.
Thank you, Justice.
Now if I could only figure out what the deal is with the Jesus stuff.

I'm going to start blogging DJ mixes. The kind of broken dirty electro breaks that pack dance floors and make me bust a whiteboy maneuver in inappropriate places.
The trouble is... there's no single reliable place to go to find the mixes I neeeed. So I will be that source. I'm going to start building a list of sites to scour and people to bother in order to keep the freshest shit flowing. If you are a DJ or know a DJ who plays to the crowd and can juggle a beat like Cirque Du Soleil please send me your mixes.
If you PM me on Fuzz I'll give you a place to upload the mp3 if it's not already online. I only want the hottest shit around, so if you send me crap I'll make fun of you publicly.
Stay tuned...

It's going to be a heavy weekend. If you're like me you have no concrete plans for the excessively over-anticipated New Year's Eve party night but will inevitably be pulled in 30 directions by your friends to spend your evening (and wallet) hurrying to get drunk and pretend the overpriced venue you find yourself in is somehow better than it would have been on any other given weekend.
It doesn't even seem like the clubs are trying this year in San Francisco. There isn't really anyone worth spending a $20 cover to go see, let alone the $80+ to get through the door and fight for a glass of Andre. The best I can find is Mars Volta, which honestly should be a good night, if not a little strange to ring in the new year to, so I can't talk shit there. But others include Crystal Method (who's sound hasn't really progressed since the 90's, which is great for the high school hackers clinging to their golden raver days but unfortunately the rest of us have to wait for MSTRKRFT or someone else from this century to remix the tracks before they're worth a listen), The Brazillian Girls and Bassbin Twins (there's an "A team" lineup), Krafty Kuts (which Mighty proclaims as the #1 breakbeat DJ in the world ??), or a buffet of local has-been DJ's. Where is the talent? Here I was thinking SF was a hotbed for the club scene. You'd think we'd be able to afford the likes of MSTRKRFT, Justice, Digitalism, Does it Offend You Yeah!, Boys Noize, The Villains, etc.
UPDATE: Wait, Diplo is going to be in SF at Temple. And Les Claypool will be at the Fillmore. Still, whatever.
Yes, I just pigeonholed my musical tastes, but that's what I want to hear while dancing the regrets of 2007 out of my pores. It really is no matter though, this year I've actually got a much better plan in store. I'm going to spend the evening with my girlfriend and three other very special ladies. I have no idea how the evening will pan out except that it's going to be zero part frantic hunt for jollies and one hundred percent unadulterated good times. Suckers!
Here's some music you San Franciscans WON'T be listening to this NYE (unless you know something I don't, which is completely possible since the only research I did was a google search for "New Years Eve San Francisco"). And yea, I'll probably end up at a club somewhere on NYE.

Those of you with keen eagle-eye vision will notice something fantastic near the bottom of the new formatting guide (in the media section).
We've added a tag called "[mp3]". This fancy new tag, when used correctly (please reference the formatting guide), will embed an mp3 directly in your blog. You can use it as many times as you want and it's smart enough to play only one song at a time.
You can thank Martin Laine from 1pixelout.net for the inline mp3 player. It's the same one all my favorite music blogs have, so I thought, "why mess around? Lets use it on Fuzz." So I used it on Fuzz.
Just to make things clear, we don't host the mp3s ON fuzz. When you enter the url for the mp3 file make sure it is an absolute url (starting with 'http:' ) that points to the mp3 file you want to play.
For example:
http://www.phatduckk.com/music/VictimNation/Sunday%20Insomniac.mp3 begets
MP3: Sunday Insomniac.mp3
Please make sure you have the rights or permission to include the music on your blog; many savvy labels will provide promotional material for anyone who is willing to ask. We are all about sharing good music, but we are also about supporting the artists. If the copyright owner asks us to remove the song, we gotta do it.
Now you can use Fuzz as a fully fledged mp3 blog. You can share your page with all your friends and newcomers will discover your fantastic taste through the main Fuzz Blogs page.
