the interview show: BranVan 3000
If you were listening to music in the 90s, you will not doubt remember the track “Drinking In LA.” It was one of those songs that was everywhere.
You may not remember the song is by a group of Montrealers called BranVan 3000. Back in the 1997, “Drinking In LA” exploded and suddenly a bunch of friends who had been calling the project an “electronic music collective” were suddenly touring the world and poised to become one of those cross-genre supergroups.
This tsunami of success continued. BV3 got signed to the Beastie Boys‘ prestigious record label and convinced R&B Legend Curtis Mayfield to sing on their second record’s lead single “Astounded.”
Then things turned quickly. The Beastie‘s label imploded, leaving Bran Van 3000 high and dry. “Astounded” turned out to be Mayfield’s final song. And the group seemed to disappear forever.
Good news! The crew is back with a new record The Garden. This week, I talk with BV3 headmaster James DiSalvio about everything from having one of “those songs” and riding that crazy wave of success to getting the old crew back together again and recapturing the magic.

NazcarNation Remixes Pandit
NazcarNation has remixed Pandit’s song ‘Kathryn, My Love’ and turned it into a smooth-just-about-to-be-summer, mood setting, 5 minute mix of sweetness.
Kathryn, My Love (NazcarNation ‘Desecration’)
::::::::::::
Here is the breakdown of Kathryn, My Love (NazcarNation ‘Desecration’):
- From :37 to 2:20 – English bulldogs will be drooling more then usual, begging for water and humping their owners’ legs.
- At 2:21 the stripper you have been waiting to throw dollars at all night will finally step on stage from behind the curtain.
- At 3:25 you might have to get a room (with the stripper, not the bulldog).
- At 3:40 you will by now know how to handle the loops of sleazy that NazcarNation’s remix of ‘Kathryn, My Love’ will throw you for. If not, then grab a flotation device, because this song will make you get down.

Here is the official video by Pandit, for ‘Kathryn, My Love’ -
