No One does splash pages anymore, let alone using Flash, right? Well, you haven’t checked out the Audio Dregs site lately then, because we’re bringing it back… back… bckk.. bkkk.. *echo effect* with the ROTFLOL inspired splash page.

Ratatat’s latest masterpiece, LP4, is now available for Preorder on CD and LP! Official release date is June 8, 2010. You can hear the song “Party With Children” here.

“Just when we thought things couldn’t get anymore delirious up in this bermuda shortz party, in steps Jacob Ciocci….. And as we might expect from the unparalleled stream of creativity that is the man behind ROTFLOL, we get the unexpected. ‘Lost Inside the Stress Boxes’ bequeaths us with mind frazzling home-made bounce styles we never even saw before. Skuzzy filters open up the mind and 25 years of 16-colour popular entertainment come pouring in, all at once. ”

New Bobby Birdman Remix by White Rainbow gets premiered on The Fader blog:
“Leave it to White Rainbow, aka Portland’s Adam Forkner, to warp his pal Bobby Birdman’s soothing voice into a chaotic splat of air horns and Lil Jon “WHAT?!” samples. Forkner always seems to be riding the line between serious pranks and knowingly jokey solemnity, and he does both expertly, as this Aziz Ansari-esque “Only for Awhile” remix shows. Apparently it was inspired by Diddy, though we’re gonna go out on a limb and say it was less about Sean Combs’ production skills and more about his untethered bravado. It’s a fun listen for sure, but has enough skill and merit that somebody’s destined to drop it in a DJ set. Maybe even Lil Jon!” – Julianne Escobedo Shepherd

story Julianne Escobedo Shepherd (from The Fader blog)
With Paper Rad, Jacob Ciocci has been jamming our brains with recessive pop culture memories and post-adolescent-acquired ADD for a hot minute now, not to mention helping to redefine art for the YouTube generation. “The Peace Tape,” though, feels like he’s topped himself in the rapidly firing synapses category, shooting creepily unfamiliar found-footage with splats of wacky animated faces that pile up on themselves until it’s a terrifying alternate universe, suggesting psychedelia and technology are a caustic pair. But also, really fucking fun. This comes from a DVD of Ciocci’s videos, forthcoming on Audio Dregs, which will also release an album of his music and “old school Paper Rad soundtracks” under the moniker ROTFLOL.
