stumbling upon this campaign was the highlight of my day.
@GREG had previously shown me the Gorillaz x André 3000 x James Murphy/LCD Soundsystem song “Do Ya Thing” and I was blown away.
the “Three Artists, One Song” campaign released songs by unlikely collaborators, and it’s probably the coolest thing converse has ever done.
some other collabs include Santigold x Julian Casablancas x N.E.R.D/Pharell Williams and Frank Ocean x some members of The Clash (Mick Jones, Paul Simonon) x Diplo.
i linked a youtube playlist compiling these songs but i highly recommend checking out the 13 min version of “Do Ya Thing” !!!!!!!

Nostalgia, perhaps? But I love a good mashup.
The more disparate the genres smashed together, the better.
Whether it's Iggy Pop and the Stooges meeting Salt n Pepa (2ManyDJs were the masters)
Or this one -- Sigur Ros spliced into Mobb Deep (how Portland DJ Emancipator ever thought to do that, I'll never know -- not even the keys are the same, G# and Bflat minor)
There's a cleverness and "whiff of the unexpected" that either makes these work or fall flat.

If there is a more '90s video, group and song I'd love to know what it is.
- 70s-era "Paul's Boutique" imitating hipster clothing choices
- Filmed around a pool, with a random dog, and several gratuitous American flag shots
- Fast-motion creepy wind-up toy visuals
- Stocking hat in summer, b/w obnoxiously large Cobain-inspired sunglasses
- American So Cal singer who clearly loved Johnny Rotten's sneering fuck-off vox
- A veritable guitar army of vintage pieces (Gretsch White Falcon, sparkle finish Fender Strat, Gibson SG)
- 3-axe, Lynyrd Skynyrd-esque noise storm, wah-wah solo + incredible energy, seemingly from out of nowhere only to disappear at a Lollapalooza midway or something
- Lyrics that sound vaguely pissed at The Man but without articulating anything specific -- "Why don't you believe, believe in your own god?" Literally: get your own goddamn god.
1993 was my shit, yo.

25 years later - Damon has scheduled some anniversary shows later this year in London - this track remains their greatest moment. That dubby bass line turns out to be the backbone of the song. 🇯🇲

i actually have no shame in bumping this song, but #society makes me feel like i should. it is THE song of the 2000s, no debate. makes me feel like i should be filming myself lip syncing on photo booth with every filter possible and uploading it to youtube

all of the songs on this album fade into each other. 🤩 it’s what made me appreciate the art of the album when i was 15/16, and i still love to listen it in full from time to time, when the season is apt. you not only get great stand alone songs but also a thorough piece of art that helps curate the album’s feel. i love love love this album!!
