Thanks to Gorilla Vs. Bear, I’ve been checking for St. Louis’ phaseone for a minute now and have been consistently impressed with his remixes of Animal Collective, Fool’s Gold and Radiohead. His latest mixtape finds him fusing Bon Iver and El-P. For his final feat, he will remix Vampire Weekend while wearing a khaffiyeh, a flannel shirt, and twirling his mustache, Snidely Whiplash-style. Don’t be fooled by the shrewd buzz-building selections, at his core Andrew Jernigan is a beatmaker lining up in the endless post-Dilla queue. Superficially, phase’s influences are diffuse, but seem more indicative of the restless polyglot impulses of the Internet era than a contrived pose. As far as phases go, we could do much worse.

Is this gonna be like some post-Jordan shit? at what point do producers coming after Dilla stop getting compared to him?

Do you even know what that means, Weiss?

It means that virgin trolls like you stew in your basement covered in Animal Collective and Clipse posters, while concocting make-believe fantasy worlds in which you don’t weigh a buck twenty and people actually care what you have to say.

Hey Robo, that was such a great comment — I really think you are on to something — just out of curiosity, how many times have you won Best Music Writing? You seem like you must be really intelligent, I would love to read all of your collected works sometimes
Douche.

Weiss wrote high minded fluff and this guy called him on it.
