Running of the Bulls 6 pack



Here's a squelchy, skittery stoned-out mix for Pamplona's Running of the Bulls. No 'Bulls on Parade' or even anything en Español. But, if you cross the inebriation of the locos encerrados and the angry confusion of the toros losing their cool then the songs in this 6 pack may be exactly right for your Festival of San Fermin.

Late of the Pier - The Bulls Bears Are Coming
Squelchy electro with a daft melody. This is the last thing you remember from the night before the running of the bulls. Dancing with some Basque women, some Deutsch tourists and drinking with a one-legged man named Paco whensuddenlyyou come to your senses. On the street. Excuse me, avenida. WTF? Why are you wearing all white with a red sash? Hey, so are the 500 other inebriated caballeros occupying the same 10 meters of roadway. What, exactly, is causing that rumbling sound that is approaching? AAIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

The Dirty Projectors - Stillness Is a Move
Imagine the discordant synths as the bulls skittering on the pavement as they round the corner. The alt-Beyoncé vocals? No idea what those represent but goodness.

Modest Mouse - Satellite Skin
Isaac Brock is the sex child of a Pamplona'n wearing white & a red sash and a steer. Biologically impossible, but true.

The Notorious B.I.G. - Juicy
"I let my tape rock til my tape pop". Themebuster - no good reason for this song here.

Das Racist & Wallpaper - Combination Pizza Hut & Taco Bell (Wallpaper remix) (Ht: Ben Fong-Torres)
Proof that pure idiocy is just as addictive as any other drug. It's late. You're drunk on sangria and some hash a local smoked with you post-bull run. Now you're trying to find your American buddies, but where?

Feist/Boys Noize - My Moon My Man (Boys Noize remix) HT: Armando & Kiduck
Speaking of idiocy, Electric Daisy Carnival was madness. This was nearly Boys Noize close to their set. Almost an evil electro/techno sub-squelch: "MaMooMaMow. MaMooMaMow." Just exactly like Leslie Feist imagined it.
