You don't have to celebrate H.R. Giger's birthday to be considered a devoted fan of James Cameron's (arguably) best film ever, "Aliens." Not unlike "The Empire Strikes Back," Cameron's 1986 sequel is such nonstop excitement that you don't realize half the movie is just Sigourney Weaver bitching at Bill Paxton inside a medical lab. Yes, same goes for "Episode V" - the whole thing is pretty much Han and Leia bitching inside the Millennium Falcon's cockpit. And yet, you're still on the edge of your futon. Go figure! Sorry if I messed my pants in that [...]
The day is so beautiful that Gracie just came inside for her morning nap. It's quite late as the cats are already well into theirs. Fern, of course, grabbed all the morning sunlight streaming through the front door so Maddie is on the afghan. Gracie hit the couch. Last night around 11:30 I noticed the back sensor lights were on. They were keyed to Gracie when she was younger and around 25-30 pounds so a possum or skunk wouldn't trigger them. I was curious to know if something was in the yard so I went out to check. [...]
Mike (23 years of age), also known as Cubs grew up in Kensington Maryland, but currently resides in Delray Beach, Florida USA. His early productions came in the form of Hip Hop (mid 2012), and is now producing Dubstep from over 4 years of inspiration. Cubs a nickname given to him by friends (due to a shady lookin' haircut) is inspired by many of the producers putting out that Fish Wobble 'ridim' sound, these would include but not limited to Maddman , AD , Juan BassHead , Jam P R D , Tosti [...]
New York rapstress/ queen of Twitter beef /every publicist's worst nightmare Azealia Banks hit a sour note several weeks ago when the beef between her and celebrity blogger Perez Hilton culminated into a public showdown replete with homophobic slurs, and now she's at it again: This morning, another ugly interaction took shape, as Banks called Hilton an "evil faggot," explained that the word didn't actually refer to gay people but instead means "coward, liar, backstabber... [e]nergy stealer, blood sucker," and then went on to complain that her free speech was being infringed upon when the Internet collectively came for her. [...]

Friday was one of the darkest days in American history as a 20-something brainiac from the white side of town took out his angst on a school. Our most defenseless citizens were murdered senselessly in a place that was supposed to provide safety. As a teacher, I see these citizens, each and every day. For some it is the only place in their world that is under their control, the only place they can escape what ails them. Now it has been shattered, not by one of their own, but by an outsider. Since then the talking heads [...]
Over the course of the past few weeks, we've been premiering tracks off Eluusif 's ' Aliens Do It Better ' EP. Today we have the final cut off the record, " I Need An Alien Tonight ," a fully torqued electro-house jam that tells the story of an android in need of an alien. We've definitely saved the best for last. Enjoy the track below and be sure to pick up that free download before it's gone.
Sofia Talvik's Xmas Calendar, window 18 I knew I couldn't be the only Swedish artist to tour the US in an old van! So today's window is a Christmas card from another Swedish band who also like to do that. Folk-Rock band Secret Circus who are kindly sharing their song " Waves " as a free download with all the followers of my Xmas Calendar! Secret Circus was started by twins Klas and Joel Åhman in 2008 in Stockholm, Sweden. The maiden voyage sent the brothers bumming around [...]
Ele está de volta! Black Alien , um dos nomes mais respeitados do rap nacional, está preparando seu segundo álbum solo com lançamento previsto para abril de 2013. Oito anos após lançar o elogiado Babylon By Gus Vol. I - O Ano do Macaco , o rapper niteroiense, ex- Planet Hemp , e que preferiu não se reunir na volta do grupo em 2012, está em produção do já intitulado Babylon By Gus Vol. II . E como uma prévia do que vem pela frente, divulgou a primeira faixa do disco - Pra quem [...]

Now That's What I Call 2008! 2008 was a fantastic year in music. So fantastic, in fact, that it inspired me to start blogging about the great acts and albums of that time. After years of anonymous music writing on Wikipedia (fighting with editors on which bands were truly "notable" and Wiki-eligible), I decided to take my own shot at promoting my favorite acts, and thus Three Colours was born. Feeling a hint of nostalgia this week, I put together an HDPP with some of my favorite songs from '08. [...]
Groundislava + Baths send an interstellar alien light man down to Earth on a suicide mission in this Barney Patterson -directed clip for the floating Feel Me highlight. Feel Me is out now on Friends of Friends . Groundislava also just released this remix of Shlohmo 's " Ghosts Pt. 2 ":
Experimental electronic duo Matmos have implanted the fear in my head of a world invaded by green CG triangles. This duo is known for their work with Bjork and their remixes. In this new track their style sets them apart from others in the genre; no where in this song will you find obnoxious humming synthesizers lines. Instead this feels more like densely crafted film score that really seems like it was made for its accompanying video. The video is of course showing a world over run with large green triangles that make me think that perhaps Matmos is suggesting that aliens [...]
On the Prometheus Blue-Ray extras, there is an overt reference to Peter Weyland discussing the use of biological replicants vs. mechanical androids with Dr. Eldon Tyrell, who you might know as the founder of the Tyrell Corporation in director Ridley Scott's Blade Runner . I honestly have no idea why Scott would decide to merge his two movie universes, which makes about as much logical sense as his Alien prequel, but given that Scott is currently working on a sequel to Blade Runner , it makes you wonder if that will [...]
When Until The Quiet Comes drops today, Flying Lotus fans and listeners will suck their thumbs again when they try to describe what he sounds like. It’s impossible to summarize [...] The post Flying Lotus' "Until The Quiet Comes" Doesn't Sound Like Anything, But Feels Like Something appeared first on The Smoking Section .
Taquwami is from Japan and they're awesome. They seem to have a serious knack in producing dreamy music fused with hip-hop style 808 beats. The kind of combination that I have never even dare to dream about yet, wow, I'm so surprised that it actually sounds so good! Check out dat snare yo. Truth be told dream house has become generic and boring, and as a fan of the genre it's always good to see someone fusing different elements into it, though purist would say that these kind of music belong to an entirely different [...]
Let's get this out of the way; I like to believe I'm a smart, clever, intuitive person; someone who can read into figurative language and see symbols for what they are in context, but this video completely threw my sense of relative intelligence off the first time I saw it. It's like Sophia Coppola's Virgin Suicides meets Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut house orgy. A menage of pastel colors and pretty, shut-in, seemingly inexperienced, potentially brainwashed girls combined with the premature sounding vocals of ALPINE make for something totally other-worldly, slightly unnerving, [...]
Sorry for the lateness of the hour, but I had a library board breakfast meeting this morning at 10. I actually set my alarm, a jarring way to wake to the day, so I'd have time for coffee and a paper before I left. It is already getting hot and will reach 84˚ today, not hot for other parts of the country but it is for us, and when you add a bit of Cape humidity, the heat becomes even a bit more miserable. Last night was movie night. We had appies first and played Phase [...]
