MIKE SIMONETTI & JOHNNY JEWEL
Albuterol Cd
Italians Do It Better 2008

In December 2007, We threw a huge gala on a cold & rainy Friday night in Portland with Chromatics & Glass Candy. Mike came out to spin the party...the after party...and the party after the after party... We spent the next three days recovering, working on a mix, & trying to find a place for Mike to lay his weary head. The damp & grey climate is great if you're writing Wipers lyrics...but if you left your prescription asthma medicine (Albuterol) in Jersey, you're pretty much screwed. Day 1 : Mike stays with Me at chez Ruth / Daphne & Ruby (the sister cats) fur all over the apartment causes Mike's asthma to flair up even worse. Day 2 : We decided to relocate Monsiuer Simonetti to Ida's Candy Castle / Marlon's (the stray cat) tiger stripes almost close Mike's eyes forever. Day 3 : Adam & Natty offer him a warm bed...but Pimp C's (the cat freed from a shelter on the same day the UGK poet was released from prison) dander just about closes Mike's windpipe. Then it occurs to us...there's no cats at the studio, so we spend two days & nights listening to crates of killer cuts from Mike's library in New Jersey. Starting with around 80 songs and slowly narrowing it down to 10 traxxx that really complimented each other. Step 1 : Burn all the records to disc through analog preamps ... Step 2 : Edit the traxxx live using 3 cdjs. Step 3: Take the best edits and blend them all together in one long take live to tape. No computers were harmed on the set of this recording. At Italians Do It Better, we love our computers... But for a mix this dirty, with almost all live drummers, it just felt better doing it by hand. The end result runs the gamut of rock, disco, proto house, boogie, swedish glam, bizarre italo, soul, & some odd things in between. Not to mention the entire mix is slightly pitched down. Most likely due to exhaustion & Mike's almost comatose state. It just sounded heavier this way. The weekend came & went, & it was time for Mike to fly home... On our way to the airport, Ida chased a Fed Ex truck down Hawthorne. Just in time for the flight, the Albuterol finally came. Mike took it & all was well. There was so much confusion that weekend, I forgot to label the tape. It got lost in the shuffle. Tours came & went. New records were being made, & we forgot about it. Five months later Mike found a rough mix of it on his ipod & ripped a really lo fi version for the blog. The mix exploded (20,000 downloads & counting), but no one could guess the full tracklist. A couple of months ago we started Perseo & around that time I found the original mix in Portland. Here it is ...the way it was meant to be heard. Fully remastered back through tubes.

Mike Simonetti - Release Your Body To The Best ft. Santana (Sentient Program Remix)

Not only is mike "father of the year", but he also has records. Deep crates, as they say. MIKE FEEL LOVE will keep the chin scratchers at bay for a while, seeing as the original cover has zero internet presence. It will also keep the dancers happy. A scrappy little edit keeping the sloppy instrumentation in tact, because it's the best part of the song. Drums fall out of time, or drop out altogether. The synth arps fall out of synch which makes you wonder if that's an arpeggiator, or some maniac playing live. The other side is a very old edit Mike dusted off and is guaranteed to make the chin scratchers take a bathroom break- seeing as it is a top 40 hit from the 70s. Which doesn't mean it's not a burner.

Lyrics:
let's go in 

stayed back enough 

it's our 

time to go down 

why yes I need 

to believe that I could still think 

there was enough 

to leave a taste 

in my mouth 


there's no way to get it out 


thirst 

fill the air with peppermint 

done 

clear away now 


nights run  

downhill 

these skies can feel endless 

back out 

stay away 

pick up the slack now that i've let go 

it's never enough 


tonight 


hey now we've made it 

let's split a pack of gum 

this taste of peppermint 

gets all on our tongues 

i absolutely  

in the here and now 

back out 

stay away 

pick up the slack now that i've let go

Taste Of Peppermint

PRE-ORDER

TWINS - Taste Of Peppermint [2MR-033]

Solipsism is an archival release of music from https://soundcloud.com/mike-simonetti 's tenure as owner of Italians Do It Better Records, spanning from 2006-2013. During that time Mike wrote a lot of music. Some of it was used for films, some for TV commercials, some for fashion shows and he even released a record or two.

Influenced by the intersection of 80's arena rock bands like AC/DC and Judas Priest, glam rock/dance bands like Rockets and Supermax, and especially the underground Italian producer Piero Umiliani - the album is chock-full of atmospheric rock-inspired arpeggiated riffs. The mixture of metal and chugging dance music makes for a unique listening experience. Every song has a riff, every song is heavy and dense. Only one song goes above 118 BPM. These are heavy chuggers that make for a tense emotional experience that exceeds your standard, easy-to-write-off “soundtrack” fare, mainly because it was never written with that in mind. It was meant to be a fist-pumping arena rock inspired thumper! You can hear that in the one two punch of “A Prayer For War” into “Illusions", which is an outtake from his "The Magician" sessions. Other songs like “Solipsism” showcase the airy melodies of that were to come with his other project Pale Blue, but that is not typical on this album. If you listen closely, you can hear how Simonetti’s music and dark vibes inspired his then label partner Johnny Jewel to take his own bands Chromatics and Glass Candy in a different, more cinematic direction.

This was written and recorded years before the Drive soundtrack and all the hoopla around the sudden soundtrack resurgence. In 2011 Mike was asked to submit some songs for a soon to be released Hollywood remake. He submitted most of the songs from this album, and they were slated for release on the soundtrack, but the project fell apart, and the film went in a different direction and changed producers. Soon after, because of all the drama and foolishness, he left Italians Do It Better to start over with 2MR and Pale Blue. This is the nail in the coffin. Godspeed.
