First the good news: Lazer Sword, the local loco duo of robo-crunk remix actionists that blow out my speakers rightly, have just released the mixtape of the year, in my book. It’s called Blap to the Future. Check it out and gleam dizzy (download). Srsly, my laptop is xplodin’ with this shit. Listen and believe. You can find out more about the mix on the Lazer Sword MySpace blog.
Now the bad news (read the fine print):
From Lazer Sword: SO YES FRIENDS IT’S TRUE. LANDO KAL, 1/2 OF LAZER SWORD, GOT HIS APPLE MACBOOK PRO LAPTOP STOLEN OUT OF HIS HANDS AT GUNPOINT IN FRONT OF A CLUB BEFORE A LS SET WEDNESDAY, 8/27/08.
Mum’s the word on which club — but look, we’re gonna have a party and reimburse the shit. Hit up fancy Ambassador this Thursday for an all-star lineup of glitch-hop, electro disco, and other adventurous heads, in conjunction with promoters Hoodies and Heels, for a mind-bending night that gives back.

PS — oh hey, speaking of White Girl Lust, there’s a ripping disco-dive brand new mix up on xlr8r that features their new label Solid Bump.
