Mixtape: Bay Area Artists, Remixing and Remixed (Podcast #304) All too frequently, remixes are just okay , but when they are great, they're really something special. A truly great remix can shed new light on the original artist's work and stand on its own as a unique creation. That's no easy feat, either, given the tension between staying true to an original song's components and a reworker's desire to create something new and personal. These days, it feels far too easy to get remix fatigue. Reworkings seem to pop up almost immediately after [...]
Let us help you catch up on the week in brief. First we are bummed that Foxygen canceled their tour in the name of the band's "creative health", then electro kraut legends Kraftwerk we learned are banned from playing in China for participating in the Tiebetan Freedom Concert from 1998, and Lil Wayne disclosed that his string of seizures were caused by epilepsy and not the sizzurp. But with plenty more to gossip and talk about, jump head first into a selection of some of the week...
The Semitoadcast is not an erection joke, it is so named because there are four tracks on this one by Song, by Toad Records bands. Two - the Yusuf Azak and Lil Daggers tunes - are not actually on the label, and two - Sparrow and the Workshop and Plastic Animals - are. One of the others was just an experiment which Yusuf fired up on Facebook the other week, but happens to be ace, and the other is a freebie on this compilation by Miami magazine Pure Honey. So not quite Toad Records releases as [...]

As the week comes to a close, we gather up the pros and cons with a bit of hope and optimism despite the odds. Chief Keef's gun range Pitchfork interview cost him 2 months in juvie for violating probation while Meyhem Lauren struck back at the 'fork with the diss track, "The Laurenovich Angle (Fuck Pitchfork)". While word has it that Lil B will not be performing at the Grammys, the legions of Radiohead fans can hear unreleased material Thom Yorke dropped via Dazed Digital while...

Last month, Bret Bender and Madeleine Miller, better known as Phoenix indie-pop duo Bogan Via released a remix EP featuring reworkings of songs from their Wait Up EP and a new song titled "Gatsby". The EP includes contributions such artists as Miniature Tigers, Glass Theory, Geographer , among others. We have the latter's remix of "Kanye" from the release. The San Francisco synth-pop trio take the original and smooth it out with some glitchy electronic grooves. You can download it below and grab the [...]
The wonderful Bogan Via from Tempe, Arizona were a featured Artist Of The Week in November. Their six track EP 'Wait Up' became one of our most played, and most rewarding music discoveries of the year. So we just had to ask them to share their favourite music of the year. Here are their picks. Haerts- Wings This song is instantly catchy. Voice is reminiscent of Tennis' Alaina Moore and just soars over warm harmonies and epic drums. Impossible to not like [...]

While everyone else goes ape sh*t over EPs by Lana Del Rey and Ke$ha, well, we took a different approach and didn't listen to those artists this year. Instead, last night, I ran through my entire library on iTunes and settled on my top 15 EPs of 2012. Yeah, as these lists go, I'm sure I'm missing some pretty great ones in here that will leave me slapping my forehead later, but whatevz. It's all subjective anyway, right? We begin with New York band Beast [...]
Here's a free download of Bogan Via 's TES remixed by Miniature Tiger . The original is available now on Bogan Via's latest EP Wait Up . The remix was part of a 73 vinyl release. - Conrad Bogan Via - TES (Miniature Tigers Remix) Free Download
Bogan Via: Wait Up - It is splendidly perplexing to try to place Bogan Via into a single category. With just six songs on their new EP Wait Up , they manage to cover everything from pop, to folk, to electronic. It is so delightfully simplistic on the surface and concurrently astutely aware. Bogan Via is a duo from Phoenix, Arizona. Madeleine Miller and Bret Bender (both with a pleasantly alliterative quality to their names) self-recorded and self-released five songs early this year via bandcamp . Their talent is undeniable, garnering popularity on the [...]
Alright, so I have a treat for you. Being that I spent Thanksgiving week on vacation in Vancouver, WA with my parents - yes, a full week - I was out of town for my normal Friday show. Rather than having Stuarto cover for me, as holidays aren't the best for extra shifts at the radio station, I put together a pre-recorded show. So I'm presenting that to you now, in full form. Here's the track so you can begin streaming, and below that is the setlist to enjoy while [...]
Last week I returned to the present with only a few throwbacks to the 90s toward the end of the show. The split digital/vinyl show featured new tracks from Sleeping Bag, The Babies, Sweater Girls, Gospel Claws, Suturee and Thunder Power. We also featured a few favorites since the year 2000 with tracks by The Anniversary, Tvärvägen and The Scotland Yard Gospel Choir. I'm excited for the show coming together for this Friday. It'll be a bit more electronic with several favorites from 2012 including Social Studies, Pure Bathing Culture, Purity [...]
Producer and songwriter Glass Theory drops in some four-on-the-floor, while interweaving the steadfast hooks of "Manny" on this new remix for indie folk-pop duo on the rise, Bogan Via. Glass Theory is the alias of L.A. based multi-instrumental and Swedish-pop enthusiast Jack Duff. Here Duff teleports "Manny" back to the future with his unique 80s nu disco spin on a record that is sure to fit nicely on your next playlist opening between the likes of Big Black Delta, Diamond Rings, Gold Fields and any other New Order friendly appreciation pop. [...]
I cannot stress this enough: I LOVE getting cool vinyl in the mail. The only thing better is when it's completely unexpected, as took place with a recent package from Common Wall Media . The label just released Bogan Via's new EP, Wait Up , on October 29. Common Wall also sent along Put Your Sunshine Away , a forthcoming release by Gospel Claws out November 20. These are both on CD, but here's the bonus: I also received a 73 single from each band on colored wax! [...]
Monday Music’s the one weekly post wherein Some Of It Was True! drops its London-only rule Steffaloo - Can't You See ( mp3 ) SOIWT's first misadventure with Steffaloo saw the LA singstrette reaching for the lasers with Chrome Sparks . This, our second encounter, turns out to be a much more sedate affair, as she sings balefully and beautifully in a spirited, string-flicking message of defiance to a departed lover. [...]
It's fund drive time at KSVR and KSVU, and that means spending a little extra time in the studio. I arrived early and accompanied Stuarto during his show then he accompanied me during mine. I snapped the above shot of Stuarto before I took over the mic. He had an oldies theme going, playing tunes by the Rolling Stones, The Supremes, Willie Nelson and many, many more. My show, par the usual, was filled with the new. From new tracks off forthcoming albums by Book Club and The Pharmacy, [...]
METZ – Headache [mp3] (from METZ , out now on Sub Pop ) Power sludge-punk trio from Toronto took five years to hone their craft before attempting to render it to wax – the inscrutable power that they’ve harnessed would make Ian MacKaye smile. [...]
