~ SD 2 (ELITE GYMNASTICS BAPTISM) ~ & TOUR DATES

a few weeks ago I covered a song by elite gymnastics (DL HERE). it was an honor-- their record 'ruin' on acephale recs is one of my favorite releases of 2k11 and 'here in heaven 2' is among my fave tunes in a long, long while. so beautiful, so moving. 

when i sent them my cover, they promised they'd reciprocate my gesture with a remix of my song 'suicide dream 2' from my Just Once EP...  Just Once is really important to me--- sd2 in particular. when Holy Other remixed it a few months ago, i was blown away, completely floored. and now, it's an honor to present the incredibly special 'suicide dream 2 (elite gymnastics baptism)' for u to hear and share.

∆∆∆ JUST ONCE ∆∆∆

... once 

each thing, only once. 

Just once and no more. And we too 

once. Never again. But this having been once, 

even if only once: to have been of the earth seems irrevocable.

∆∆∆ FAVE 2010s ∆∆∆

don't get it twisted these are my official favorite recordsss of the year. 

less important that shit's from 2010 --- what's really special is how this music all points towards 2K!! 

official 2010 jams

everything deadboy released in 2010

marcus fjellstrom - schattenspieler

records from dj roc, dj nate, n dj rashad

burzum - belus

prurient & cold cave - stars explode

teengirl fantasy - 7AM

everything wiz khalifa released this year (and last year too fuck it) esp. duh black n yellow

egyptrixx - the only way up 

ciara ciara ciara – her youtube is the best big year 

(esp. after the nguzunguzu and dubbel dutch rmxs of her UNBELIEVABLE deuces rmx)

the dream - love king (even tho my fave song from him this year was def ciara's speechless)

nguzunguzu - mirage

salem - king night

(such an honor to play w them this year. nicest people! anyone who hates on their live show is tripping so fuck em--- their performance is so far beyond some 'rock concert' that haters can't even comprehend that shit. plus, rock concerts/musicians in general are totally played out anyway)

blondes - touched

(2010 best live show period)

gucci mane - mr zone 6

girl unit - IRL

forest swords - dagger paths

http://www.patentleatherdaddy.com/

(consistently the best source of mixes and remixes period. best musical taste style swag)

waka flocka flame - flockaveli 

(this shit makes me feel COLOSSAL – bigger even that the teflon don, which is also BIG)

yellow swans - going places

coffinworm - when all became none 

was also super hyped on records from balam acab, oneohtrix point never, coco rosie, rick rosé, john wiese, acre, swans, hype williams, solo andata, yeezy (even tho he basically made the same album as sufjan stevens ha), drake, etc. ridiculously dope year for music.  i'm gonna add my fave songs of 2010 list in the comments--- check that. buy these records b/c (save for the commercially successful record on this list) these artists need support to keep making their tunes. 

plus, have to say: so unbelievably gracious for and blown away by all the love and support shown for htdw this year. so much love for every ear and every heart that opened up to my music--- i could never ask for anything more. 

hell of thankful for 2010 and ready to go in on 2K!!,

tom
