So now that Memorial Day has come and gone, it's safe to say that Summer is officially upon us. Here in Texas, the season can be a little hard to take to say the least, but whether you're looking forward to the heat or dreading it like we are, we figure the concept of "summer" provides us with a nice opportunity to kick off something new on this blog...

So over the next few hot months, we're going to present "We Shot A Mix," a brand new series of posts where we invite one local DJ, band or DJ group to put together an original, party oriented dance mix for your downloading pleasure. There will be no criteria or theme to any of the mixes: they do whatever the hell they want, give it to us, and we give it to you. Pretty simple. We figure with the number of good DJs and tasteful musicians in the area these days, it should be pretty easy to convince people that this is in fact a brilliant idea. You should expect a diverse range of artists to participate over the next couple of months, and I'm sure the mixes will all be full of new music and pleasant surprises.

Anyway, we're happy to kick off the We Shot A Mix series with Pretty Vacant, a new DJ duo who played a big role in getting last weekend's excellent Glass Candy show together. Consisting of Dallas party people Lolita and Justin V (former member of High Society), Pretty Vacant brings a diverse and tasteful palette to the table, focusing on everything from new house (I refuse to call it "Blog House") to disco to punk to synth pop. The mix below consists of original songs and remixes by the likes of Brazilian Girls, The Teenagers, Mstrkrft, New Young Pony Club and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, among others, and the thing builds up, peaks and comes down over the course of just under 30 minutes. The mix is very well put together, by the way, featuring a dark party vibe that's a lot of fun without being too obvious. I honestly enjoy every second of it thanks to the choice remixes and artful execution, and I think once you listen to it, you'll agree that we're likely to see these kids around town a lot more in the coming months.

well it's very possible that I misread the IP log. Sorry about that.

SR- This is 1109, with the fake anon theory. I honestly am not the anon (straw man or not) that you argue with constantly. If you thought I was, as your last comment suggests, whatever method you used to figure out who that anon is must be flawed. I like the site and don't make those childish comments.

God that girl is sexy...if only I ran into her at the grocery store...

well you would know better than anyone that that isn't true.

I don't think 1120/1147 exists at all. I think the mysterious anon who always comments how much he hates wsjr yet never goes away, proving that WSJR wins and the haters lose, is a straw man of stonedranger's creation. Just a theory. Anyone else suspect the same?

Nothing Brent Best does is contrived. unlike you, he is not worried about looking cool, he just is cool. That doesn't depend on you liking his bands, either. the dude is just heart and soul.

Hipster 2007 vs Hipster 2002? I wouldn't pay to see that on pay per view, luckily it's free and stupid here.

Brent Best was horrible. How fucking contrived.

"You're a hipster fuckbag! And I heart We Shot J.R., so it's all good."

Um, no, it's not all good. It's really childish and mean. So stop it. And i'll try to do the same.

Heather, who are you talking about?

none of you exist.

I have to agree about MSP being totally awes. what a swell guy.

If I see any pointless flame aimed in his direction, I will know that there is no hope for you bastards.

blogger shot jr

Jesus Christ- Dan Doyle was so fucking good. Some of the most innovative songwriting I've ever heard.

Brent Best.

wOw!

monday morning rock for you.

Scott Porter is a nice guy he busts his ass for very little payback and acclaim. It's going to freak him out if we start talking about him.

gorss

monday discussion: is scott porter trully a rock god?

thats cool.... we're still waiting on blogger though, so it looks like no Monday Morning rock today.

I have filed a complaint with blogger, which is supposed to cut down the time you have to wait, but we'll see...

I think it's karma biting you in the ass.

boring outdated hipster shite..
cmon let that shite die already..
weak mix..must delete off hard drive!!

UPDATE: At this point (Sunday afternoon) our blog is still locked as a "spam" blog, meaning that we are unable to make any new posts until they unlock it. I've been told that this can take several days, and even up to a week. Blows.

However, we've been working on switching over to a new blog program recently, and we're going to speed up the process now that we're having this issue. Hopefully, one way or another, we'll be up and running again very soon.

I'll send updates here and on Myspace.

Sorry.

!!!HOLY SHIT WHAT WAS I SUPPOSED TO ON THE WEEKEND STONY WHERE ARE YOU???

Or hate me. Either one.

Discuss.

Actually I take that back. It is cool, but having a myspace page will not make you "cool-er". You can meet people from Austria so it is pretty cool in that respect.

Newsflash. Myspace is for the most part NOT COOL. It is a good marketing tool. It works well for businesses and bands. That's pretty much it.

I don't have a my own myspace page as I find that shit quite self-absorbed. Do you enjoy looking at pictures of yourself all day long? Seems a little bit arrogant....and sad, like you need so much attention. "I hope I got lots of messages today. Oh no! Nobody loves me!(slams keyboard)".

I've been on tour for over a week now, and i have to say, I haven't missed much. I got to see The Fucking Champs play at an American Legion building in Wallingford CT. NO STAGE! not really technically DIY since it was put on by a production/booking company.

NICE AND GENEROUS?

ARE YOU SERIOUS?

oh for fuck's sake. your pictures on myspace probably look exactly like that, admit it!

they are indeed looking "pretty vacant"

Well they look pretentious and stuck up to me.

they arent pretentious at all, in fact they are both very nice and generous people.

crappy idea. fyi.

I love the mix

bob white no go as well at pastime?

I was actually advertising your show, Aaron, but I wouldn't expect you to notice that.

Texas is blind in one eye. If you didn't get that you really are stupid.

Bring a weapon.

Those people in the photo for this post look like stuck up pricks.

FYI: blogger is currently not allowing us to post because the "anti-spambots" have come to the conclusion that we are a spam blog. Hopefully this issue will be resolved soon, and when it is, we'll post the weekend list.

Also, if you're a friend of ours on Myspace, we've posted the weekender in a bulletin. Thanks.

This is totally not awful at all.

I saw Dream Theatre in 1993 and I still can't get the black lace and fog machine smoke out of my Chili Peppers shirt.

pretty sweet.

Post of the day!

i feel like a fat chick driving a mitsubishi mirage for liking this.

I bet 11:20 gets laid a ton........

we'll get on that here in a little bit.

I have to agree with 1143, a tracklist would be nice!

I think 11:20 is very much looking forward to Dream Theatre coming to Dallas this summer.....

I believe this literally the 27th time you've come to this blog today. Are you in love with me or something?

one day......god willing.......I will aspire to the ranks of a genuine, bonafied, DALLAS FUCKING PARTY PERSON!!!!!

1120 and 1147= the same person.

1120 and 1147 also= one of the people who always talks shit about everything.

But I'm glad you're so excited about it, buddy. And thanks for raising my hit count.

i wish the new disco would become out of fasion

Can we get a tracklisting for this please?

oh I love Dallas party people!!! fuck yes! Iv'e been waiting for something with Dallas party people!! There is nothing on this fucking earth that blows my fucking mind more than DALLAS PARTY PEOPLE!!

In fact it makes me so excited that I want to fucking puke blood and cut someone's throat out!! DALLAS PARTY PEOPLE DALLAS PARTY PEOPLE DALLAS PARTY DALLAS PARTY PEOPLE DALLAS PARTY PEOPLE DALLAS PARTY PEOPLE DALLAS PARTY PEOPLE
