Great Summer Games Stuff


The Summer Olympic Games begin this Friday, 08/08/08 at 8 PM, and the rest of the world will be forced to begin rationing the numeral 8 (thanks China). For the men, you have women's gymnastics (you perv), women's beach volleyball (double YES!), and women's shot put (just kidding, those chicks are more manly than me). I don't know what Olympic competition women watch, I guess swimming, maybe Greco-Roman wrestling, archery, who knows. Anyway, Great Stuff Recordings has released a badass compilation of dance tracks in celebration of the Olympic Games. I'll let them take it from here.

"24 anthems by 24 amazing artists from 24 different countries to support their national teams at the Olympic summer games in the Chinese capital Beijing. This is the concept behind the second Great Stuff compilation (after the very successfull Great Carnival Stuff earlier this year) full of wonderful exclusive tracks. And of course the original Olympic idea (“not to win but to take part”) is inseparably linked to the respect of the human rights. Be it in the sports stadium or on the dancefloor."

I posted the tracks that represent Australia, Germany and Tibet. Download the tracks below and go pick up the full album here. From what the folks at Low Life Inc. tell me, if you listen to your countries' track backwards while watching any Olympic competition, your country is guaranteed to win*.

Makossa & Megablast - Tibet [YSI]
Swen Weber - Germany [YSI]
Tommy Trash - Australia [YSI]
