emil & friends


you know this guy, he went vroom vroom in speed racer, was a nice young'n in Milk, fell in love with a girl next door, and had a dangerous life as an altar boy; any guessers? you prolly got it right, its emile hirsch! and he's got this new project out called emil & friends. its not too groundbreaking (no songs of his own) but he does do some pretty sweet remixes and covers. i especially like these two, they're fun, and in my opinion pretty daring. its not everyday you hear someone completely re-imagine how a michael jackson could sound, or take one of the bigger singles of the year and turn it into this odd but refreshing mix of rock, disco, and electronica. you may not have sold me yet, but this is a fantastic start. and yes, if there is a superlatives at the end of the year, i would imagine that this wins as "most likely to appear in an issue of nylon."





p.s. emil and friends has apparently denied being associated with emile hirsch, that being said, there is so much cheekiness going on i'm gonna go ahead and go with my original statement. emile is a trained musician with a musical history and the dude is funny as shit, so yeah.
