UPDATE: Jona Bechtolt tells LocalCut how the new YACHT video (the last one in this post) came about:
I'd been a fan of Tapeheads for a good while, my parents used to have a gas station in Astoria that had a room with video rentals in it. The Tapeheads box totally intrigued me, and I think [...]
Let's line ‘em up and knock ‘em down, shall we?
1. Spin Magazine was at the Stephen Malkmus video party at Valentine's last weekend, and they've got the de-pantsing photo of WW/LC contributor Jay Horton to prove it. The Spin blog borrows heavily from Jay Horton's own profile of DJ Dantronix, and links to LocalCut's exclusive [...]

My neighbor and I had a brief conversation a while back about peak oil and some of its ramifications. I said, half jokingly, that at least companies that import cheap ass goods from overseas might not stay viable as they depend on fuel to move their products. Companies like Walmart, for example.
He said that he'd heard about the possibility of wind-powered cargo ships. That made a lot of sense, considering that's how trade has been conducted for hundreds (even thousands?) of years before petrol took over the sea lanes.
He did some research and came up with this video of The Maltese Falcon. This thing definitely isn't the result of someone trying to greenify international shipping. It is a 130-million-dollar vanity object. There are many funny things about the video, the interview, and the circumstance. See if you can find them all.

Taking lead single "Mirando" from Ratatat's expertly-titled third album LP3 (that dropped the same night as the Brooklynites' show at Holocene), YACHT comes up with a remix that sounds like a bootleg Ratatat remix itself. YACHT's take on "Mirando" mirrors the brand of remixes the duo pedal themselves: hip-hop vocals over a foundation of [...]

We have 5 days off in France starting today, so I promise we'll let you in on all things YACHT that have happened over the past month or so very soon. I think about you every day dear reader, and I hope you don't forget about me, either.
I think I've been in Terminal 5 of the Heathrow airport for a total of 20 something hours over the last two months. I'm getting to like it. This couch at the Cafe Nero isn't so bad. The Boingo Wireless is the cheapest, but doesn't work right now... be warned!
From now on On Tour Forever will be written as "O.T.F." in the titles of these posts, OK? Also, I'm going to be a better and more consistent blogger again. Remember? I used to post a ton all of the time! Since 2003! HERE WE GO AGAIN!
