Dear recent Orlando transplant:

Ok, so you just moved to Orlando from New York / Philly / Chicago / San Francisco / et al. You feel lost, uprooted, misplaced -- you're starting to think Orlando might suck. Eager to find some nightlife in this town, you go to Lattitudes on Church Street, Slingapour's on Wall Street and that mega-club on Orange Avenue owned by one of those Backstreet Boys (Orlando's finest celebrities). Maybe you even think International Drive, Citywalk or Downtown Disney is where everyone hangs out in this town. Now you really think Orlando sucks.

Well, you're wrong. There is more to this city than theme park "nightlife" and crappy clubs with guys wearing shiny shirts, but you have to know where to look. Instead of complaining about how lame Orlando is compared to your city of origin, why not get out there and support your new scene -- it's a lot better than you think! After all, you moved here for a reason, right? (I'm guessing to escape the cold weather.) So you can do one of two things: either 1) move back to the city you think is sooooo much more awesome or 2) quit bitchin', check the events below and DON'T SLEEP on the shit that is happening!

Them Jeans -- the second time around*

According to Shalamar, the second time around is supposedly better than the first. Hopefully that's true in Orlando tonight when Them Jeans returns to Saturday Thursday*, this time joined by Desert Eagles. Although I missed him the first time, I heard good things about his set and anyone who puts out a remix of The Final Countdown by Europe gets a gold star in my book of awesomeness (even if I prefer the original to the edit). Fuck yeah:

Europe - The Final Countdown (Antimc/Them Jeans remix).mp3

I also came across a pretty decent remix he did of Yelle, aka the French doppelganger of Uffie - a comparison I'm sure they both hate. The buzz on the interwebs is that Yelle's lyrics are even more horrible than Uffie's, though I'm not sure how that is possible, and her most well-known track, Je Veux Te Voir, is ripping off the lyrics in Short Dick Man.

Really??? But it sounds so dope, especially the TEPR mix that Guns'n'Bombs plays on their Mixtape #2 mix. I wonder if Uffie's dumb lyrics about shining like a princess in the middle of thugs sound amazing to people who don't speak English - that would explain a lot.

Oops, I got off topic! Here is the Them Jeans edit of Ce Jue (great, what the hell does that stand for???) from Palms Out Sounds:

And finally, in honor of the upcoming Kavinsky show at BackBooth on Monday night and to further support the belief that Them Jeans must have a good sense of humor, I will leave you with a mashup up that invokes images of sports cars and oral sex. Yowza:

*Edit: I just realized this is the third time Them Jeans has played here - D'oh!
