IS THIS THING ON? Namaste, dear friends. This last week has been a doozy. As you can see, we’ve got Weekend Bangers up and running on a new platform (WordPress, I see you!) and on a new server (Magilla I see you!). Shouts out to Magilla, aka the thunder from downunder, who has graciously offered to host our little blizznog.

I was pretty busy this past week, trying to spin the site up as quickly as possible without breaking too many things. I think it’s strangely fitting that the first song I have to post in this new era is by Kid Sister. Peep: Pro Nails (Rusko remix), a dubstep remix of Pro Nails.  The first official Weekend Banger ever was by Kid Sis around this same time last year. It was a delightful club banger about beepers that I won’t link to here because of a promise I made to Annie, but I assure you the track took no prisoners.

My main thing this week is UGK – Da Game Been Good To Me. I first heard this song on Tuesday night and I couldn’t get enough of the beat – the deep, twangy guitar sounds like it’s straight out of a cowboy movie or Duane Eddy album. For the most part I was neither here nor there on the musical stylings of mister Pimp C, (to whom the game also belonged to – HAH, southern rap joke.) but now after he died of a drank overdose, I’ve heard dozens of tributes and UGK has grown on me a bit. Pimp C truly is the Heath Ledger of southern rap. (WHAT?)

Before I go back to sleep on the couch: Geneva – Museum Mile
