Justement, College qui a été révélé au grand public grâce au film Drive, sort un titre s'intitulant Révélation . Un morceau instrumental, entêtant, avec une basse qui est désormais connoté au film, et à l'artiste. College - Révélation Download College Revelation
Veteran 'blague readers know that I usually have to jump out of the car when the aimless jamming sets in. Which means that instrumental funk bands (especially post-1970s) start out with a big strike against them. It takes a snappy groove and/or some eyebrow-raising instrumental dexterity to keep along for the ride. These Chicago dudes are scoring on both counts for me today. Drum chops watchers: note the sweet little turnaround at 2:23. Figure it out and throw it in your bag of tricks. [...]
I remembering sitting in the movie theater watching Drive , and being absolutely blown away by the soundtrack. It was the selections of College and Kavinsky's music in that film that really renewed my addiction to synth pop. Kavinsky recently released his debut album, Outrun (thankfully on vinyl), and now the announcement comes through of College's Secret Diary and Teenage Color receiving the vinyl treatment. The vinyl (and CD...) release of College's music will be issued for the first time ever through Geoff Barlow's (Portishead, DROKK, Quakers) label, Invada. Scheduled for [...]
May 6th will see for the first time the physical release of College's debut LP ' Secret Diary ' along with the EP ' Teenage Color ' on CD and limited edition vinyl via Invada. Whilst I'm shamefully yet see Drive I have heard the soundtrack and with College's contribution being a strong favourite of mine it comes as no surprise that the physical release of Secret Diary & Teenage Color has got me quite excited. Stream two tracks from the LP above and below now. w: [...]
In a reversal of the popular bumper sticker, singer-songwriter Andrew Combs was born and raised in Texas, but got out as quick as he could. Seven years removed from his Red River exodus, the cha...

The Original Soundtrack from the Ryan Gosling film Drive is being re-released on a special gatefold, double-LP set with new artwork by poster artist Tyler Stout (above) on black vinyl. Random copies will be pressed on hot pink vinyl, however. I never win that lottery, so I expect my copy to be black. But I'm excited, nonetheless, because the music is what pushed this film from great to bad ass for me. The OST features a score by composer Cliff Martinez, as well as unshakably memorable songs by Kavinsky, Chromatics, and College. This reissue is available [...]
If you're like me, you probably revisited the theater multiple times in the fall of 2011 to catch Nicolas Winding Refn's Drive . If you're really like me, then you might have had your girlfriend make a faux Gosling jacket for that year's Halloween, only to buy the real thing a month later. However, any vinyl enthusiasts out there, who share even the slightest love of the film that I do, probably laid down a pretty penny for its accompanying soundtrack on wax. (I know I did. It's pink and was shipped from overseas.) Well, get ready to [...]
Everybody Wants To Rule The World - Tears For Fears Harking back to my college days, oh what a lark, one thing that sticks out in my mind is texting girls on behalf of my friends. Not all the time, just some times, if they got stuck trying to woo a girl. Sometimes I still [...]
I could just post on facebook this small teaser of College 's forthcoming "Heritage" album, but, my love and respect for such an epic artist comes from the time that I used (I still do) to follow religiously his blog and the whole Valérie Collective crew. Without a doubt that these guys have marked an electronic movement that hardly will comeback. No matter what will happen in the future, we can't renegade our influences. I'm a huge fan of people, such as, College, Anoraak, Electric Youth, The Outrunners, Stephen Falken, Maethelvin, and everyone from that amazing era, [...]
![[Audio] College reissues classic début album](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4792406_lg.jpg)
Sometime in the last year the world went Drive crazy. The PR email that landed in our Index for the new release from Valerie head honcho College uses the word ‘Drive’ six times. Which is milking it a bit too much, it’s getting embarrassing. The man known to you an me as the founder of the Valerie collective and one of the originators of the SynthWave scene, and now apparently known to the rest of the world as “Drive star College” (I didn’t know College was Ryan Gosling!), is rereleasing his classic début album Secret Diary [...]
(rebroadcast from February, 2009) Here, it is often said that if you don’t like the weather, wait twenty-four hours. Actually, I’ve been trying to inject new blood into that maxim by saying, if you don’t like the weather, move ten feet to the right. It hasn’t caught on, yet. The reason I’m even considering the weather is that after a couple days of warmth, tonight it’s cold again and I’m trying to remember the last place I lived that didn’t have a draft. [...]
Apropos of nothing. I just got socked with Princess Nomad's Spring college invoice. I just paid over more money for that one semester than it cost me to go to school for five years (not including beer and dope of course). Holy crap- the price of University is absolutely absurd. AND... that's factoring in that the kid got about $25,000 in grants and aid. Luckily, the Princess is a great student (and most of the $$$$ she got in grants was due to her academics). I have no idea how parents who haven't been able to save and [...]
While being deeply influenced by College and the entire Valér Collective , it's always a pleasure to share their news and to spread the word. I could write all morning about the influence they had/have on my life, and yes, I know I'm getting old. Aren't we all? Music is something that will stay with us forever. Tell me what you listen and I'll tell you who you are! If you're familiarized with this specific music genre/movement, I'm pretty sure you will be happy to know that Invada Records is going to release a special [...]

Tweet So, this is it. The list you've all been waiting for. The fan mail has been piling in for weeks now, a breathless stream of hyperventilated emails begging us to reveal the favourite tunes from the SGTMT HQ. We never let down our fans, so without any further ado we called an Executive Summit in the SGTMT tea room and got our heads together. And the result? 25 killer tunes, we'll do 25-18 today. So here we go. Brace yourselves: [...]
![Download: Winterhours - A Real Hero [College Cover]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4678508_lg.jpg)
Words: Saam Das I've never been one of those people who think that a cover detracts from its original. Regardless of which side of the fence you fall, it is worth listening to the cover I'm featuring today - Londoners Winterhours ' melancholic take on 'A Real Hero', originally from the evocative 'Drive' soundtrack. Like many, we were pretty taken aback by Nicholas Winding Refn 's stylish drama - Alicia FG, in [...]
There are a lot of music fans today recalling and recounting the details of their lives when they learned that John Lennon had been murdered. My memories are hazy and uneventful. December 8, 1980 was a Monday and a lot of folks had the sad news broken to them on Monday Night Football , but I had gone to bed at halftime and missed Howard Cosell's announcement. The next morning, I might have heard the news on Good Morning America . The television was undoubtedly tuned to the show as everyone [...]
There's something about going for a night drive that get's the blood stirring. It doesn't matter where you're going, but it definitely matters what you're listening to through your car stereo. That is exactly the feeling captured by the 2011 Nicolas Winding Refn film Drive . Set in the city of Los Angeles, Drive is the story of an unnamed man, referred to as the driver, played by Ryan Gosling. The driver is a quiet, Hollywood stuntman who serves as a getaway driver at night to help make ends meet. His life changes when he [...]
