Hm. I like it. Haven't really listened to any of Aoki's work prior to this; I just knew about this single because I follow Weezer. Heh. I at least knew that Aoki's a electronica-house artist. I get credit for that, right?
So a little while ago (maybe early September?) Rivers announced he was working with Steve Aoki on a new single. Sweet! And there it is.
I think Rivers' vocals adds a certain element. People think Weezer and Rivers, they think nerd-rock. Or at least when they first started out. But I think he still has that quality in his singing. He's not the best voice, but he sounds like he has so much fun when he sings, regardless. And that comes across in this track. People jumping around, dancing, having a good time. That's totally Rivers.
Meanwhile, Steve Aoki also did a remix of his song, titled "Earthquakey People (The Sequel)."
I kinda like this version better, to be honest. It's got more of a house feel. Kinda wish the drop after Rivers' vocal loops had more of a...well, drop. More oomf. More kick. Bass. Thump, whatever it is. Maybe there's a way to tweak it somehow...
On an unrelated note, I was in TJMaxx looking for black pants when I discovered this chain here in Athens carried Penguin ties. I WANTED TO BUY ALL OF THEM. But of course that would be ridiculous.
So I bought two. Lolsies!
