Minitel Rose , Russ Chimes, Anoraak , Maethelvin, College , & The Outrunners . What do all of these great electro-retro people have in common? They are all on the Valerie label which has just been gaining strength over the most part of this year and taking the spot Ed Rec has so easily laid out for them. Anoraak has a very extensive amazing bunch of remixes, but it's his NLLR (No Love Lost Records) mix that really had hooked. His Nightdrive With You Ep doesn't stop there. It also features a remix of the [...]
The very nice people over in Valerie-town were kind enough last week to send us College's Teenage Color mix. With our party madness of last weekend now behind us, it's time to get caught up and post that shizz! The mix features another hidden gem find by my fave from the DVAS mix of a few months ago, Alden Tyrell, as well as standard goodies by Russ Chimes, Ladyhawke, Lifelike, Pnau, Pony Pony Run Run, and more. For those of you into the Valerie vibe, you'll eat this up, and for those fortunate enough to be [...]
I keep waiting for College and all the other Valerie dudes to blow up here in the States. Their 80's inspired tunes are just too good to not be heard by the electronic-minded American kids. So, like it or not I will keep posting about them until they get as big as their fellow countrymen Justice. Here's a new mix by College, track list below: Download: College - The Teenage Color MIx ( Buy ) 01- Stephen Falken - Everything Must Go 02- Roman Salzger - [...]
Leave it to the guys at Valerie to put out another definitive mix, giving a quintessential glimpse into the current retro-80s pop movement, of which they are the most avid, coherent, and consistently impressive participants. The Teenage Color Mix comes courtesy of Video Pop favorite College (real name David Grellier). All of the tracks here can stand on their own as great examples of electronic pop, but when strung together like this, it results in some sort of critical mass of aural sublimeness, unattained since the [...]

Okie dokie! Its Sunday night and its late, I'm sitting on the couch with my laptop watching Dexter* but listening to College's 'Teenage Color' symphony that i have been lucky enough to find in our inbox from Valerie ! The juxtaposition of these bloody images on this soundtrack is a strange one to say the least. Makes me feel kinda funny inside, like when we used to climb the rope in gym class. [...]

I'm not going to deny it. I'm not going to hide it. As all of you can plainly see, there are now two advertisements on this page. That number will probably increase in the future. I've always sworn that I would not stoop so low as to place ads on my page, but...let's face it, my job doesn't exactly pay the bills. If I'm to afford rent every month, I need some secondary (or tertiary) methods of income. I've already receved many wonderful donations from you readers, so I'm not going to take that route again. My last option (technically [...]
One of the most serious recommendations we ever made: Grab the cash of your mother, of your grandfather, pick all coins of your piggybank, collect deposit bottles, sell Seoul, sell your soul, perform stepdance on the street for $$$, donate an organ, copy Eurodance-records on a tape and sell 'em at the flea market. Do whatever you can do to get some extra cash to guerdon yourself with the Mini Debut Album of one of the most promising kids from the dreamy French coast: Anoraak is out with "Nightdrive With You" , limited to [...]

At the bus stop when I heard this girl speaking fluent French on her cell phone to another apparently fluent person. Here's how many other people I know who would be willing to have a French conversation with me on the phone because they speak some French: Two (yes you, Divya, plus Erika). Here's the percentage regarding how many of us are fluent: Zero. I am so damn hungry for fluency. I'm ravenous. I'm a savage cannibal. rrrrrrrrrrr. That's why I'm at college! I need to take classes and become immersed in the language. And I'm not doing what I [...]
It's been a bit of a Valerie extravaganza around these parts, but there's really nothing to apologize for, Valerie is still the best thing around these days. Good news is that we'll be seeing a lot more of them as Pedestrian reported there'll be some official Valerie releases this year, one being a full album from College . Fuck that's going to be dope. It's called Secret Diary and I really can't wait. Here's some College that I love. College - I Think About It [...]
It doesn't feel like tomorrow (Thursday) is my birthday. I'm really reluctant to let go of being seventeen. I feel like I've built up so much to be this age, kind of like when I was twelve and fourteen. Those were ages which, for one reason or another, I aspired to be. I figured I would savour them and in truth, I did. I went through a lot of major changes at those ages. Now, though, I don't know what age I aspire to be. Seventeen was kind of it for me. I love being a teenager, save for all [...]

I like to try and approach things from a slightly different angle. I think from my few contributions on this site you can tell one of my favorite things to do is research a song and tell it's story instead of just talking about the song. When I saw this weeks theme I almost just skipped it. Nothing jumped right to mind. Then, after marinating on it for a couple of days the fog cleared and I realized what this theme needed...an alternate point of view. SONG Pronunciation: [...]
I've been testing out my computer. See, I got this HP Pavilion Entertainment PC and it's sweet. So smooth. I like HPs because they look smooth and they run smoothly. They have the aesthetic value and the performance value. And this one is fast. I like that. I think my dad is talking to himself. Okay, so move-in. I moved into VCU yesterday. I'm so glad I have a nice room-mate. I guess for both of us, it was just get-in, get-all-your-crap-in, and get-out, so we didn't really get to talk, but I did [...]
- College - Teenage Color Can You Kiss Me First Teenage Color (Russ Chimes Remix)
I had a nightmare about college last night. It was all about being unprepared. Up until this point, I've felt okay about going to college. Most other kids don't really know anyone else, and my roommate is in the same boat as I am, not knowing me at all. In my nightmare, I was basically at Welcome Week, but I had classes on move-in day and I didn't even have a laptop yet. So I remember being bogged down with work because certain five-page research papers and other summer assignments were due on the second day of school. [...]
