Yoni Gordon - Election Year (Lone Wolf Dub)
Yoni Gordon at Great Scott, 10 February 2008
My friend Yoni just posted up the tracks from his new 7″ to which I contributed a remix.
In 2003, I saw Yoni Gordon and the Goods hold down a stacked Toad, haunt of the jaded indie rocker, for 3 hours straight on a weeknight. I remember coming home and declaring them the end of rock, the coda, the epilogue. It wouldn’t get better.
The next year, Yoni worked at Planet Records where I routinely cleaned out the month-old hip-hop promos for 2$ each. (Where you think I got all them Lil Jon records?) We drank coffee at Peet’s and talked about grinding, working with kids, and playing parties. Yoni performs and writes songs with a DJ mentality: all of pop history at the ready for sampling, quoting, referencing, ripping, and dropping.
Yoni will be on a tour of the east coast, midwest, and south for all of July. Do yourself a favor and check the Yoni Gordon and the Goods MySpace for dates.

And why not throw in the clean “A Milli” medley I made last week: Lil Mama, Jay-Z, Kingdom - “A Milli (Lone Wolf Radio Edit)”
