NOT 2011 RELATED: Some Music I Listened To A lot This Year, That Did Not Come Out This Year. Please note: This list is neither comprehensive nor complete. Also, I listen to music based on album covers and band names. Just kidding. Fuck everyone, like whatever you like, and die happy. Evenings - North Dorm Notorious B.I.G. - Ready To Die oOoOO - oOoOO [...]

He will come in one of the pre-chosen forms. During the rectification of the Vuldrini, the traveler came as a large and moving Torg. Then, during the third reconciliation of the last of the McKetrick supplicants, they chose a new form for him: that of a giant Slor. Many Shuvs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Slor that day, I can tell you. (It's a summer jam, of sorts.) [ mix cover image by Marcus Claesson ] July 2011 Mix [...]

The eminent dreamscaper, Balam Acab , dropped some free material earlier last month on his facebook , under the name Etherea. I know I'm a tad late on this one but it's far too good not to be shared. From chiming bass refrains to feel good instrumentals, it maps out to be some of young Koone's quality works. Reworking some of the finest; Snoop Dogg, Animal Collective, St.Vincent, and DOOM; its a platter of absolute greatness. Get in those summer vibes. Download the whole Free Etherea tape below and some of my [...]

When Tri Angle Records recommends music via Twitter , I tend to listen. So it was Saturday, when Tri Angle tweeted about an Alex Koone-curated remix of Snoop Dogg and Pharrell Williams' "Drop It Like It's Hot," that I found myself doing some moderately intense searching on Google. Soon enough, though, I was listening. Koone is perhaps better known to the world as Balam Acab , but it appears his Etherea moniker existed first. His edit of "Drop It Like It's Hot" contains many of the same sonic elements as [...]

[RSS Readers: See post to listen to audio] The other day I went to see Oneohtrix Point Never and Gatekeeper perform at Glasslands, it was some sort of label showcase i'm guessing. I picked up this Games 7 inch, super dreamy vox with chimes and flute under fatty compression, its like the background music for a daydream scene on Blossom . A Sunny Day in Glasgow has done it, they nailed their sound but on a ethereal level, maximum lushness, the girls sound great plus the they [...]

balam acab : see birds sea birds _coyote clean up dub_ Ο Alec Koone είναι ο Balam Acab και όπως ξέρουμε κι από το άλλο του project Etherea κινείται αργά και προσεκτικά στο χώρο μεταξύ Animal Collective και Burial. Αν θα πάει πιο πέρα τα είδη ο εικοσάρης θα φανεί στο μέλλον. Με τη μεγάλη ζήτηση που [...]
![[Mix] IGIF Presents: Endless Summer Vol. I](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2703026_lg.jpg)
[photo via ] There have been many great summer mixes this year, and even a fantastic website set up by Yewknee collecting over fifty of them (!). Without self-fellating the merits of our own blogging establishment, we firmly believe your summer won't be complete without a few listens of our own summer soundtrack. Unless you have the shittiest summer ever (your dog dies, you get dumped, you lose your job, your car blows up, and you're sunburned for about 80 of the 90+ summer days), most of [...]
Believe it or not, I actually tried quite hard to avoid making this month's mix too current - starting with Wanda Jackson 's incredible haunting 1961 country/rock "Funnel of Love," as well as including a few 90s tracks that I think are just as good now as they were 15 years ago. RIP ( Gaunt frontman) Jerry Wick . But alas, I couldn't help myself. The Future Islands album is too good not to point out, and "Vireo's Eye" is an example of why I like it so much. I was out of [...]

'You Dont Have To.. Go To College' Animal Collective never ceases to amaze. This track was about as lively as Stephen Hawking in a snowstorm, until AC came along and added their own flair to it. As soon as the beat dropped my head was bobbing. Mystic vocals that make me think I'm swimming in a pool in the middle of space. mp3: ETHEREA - College (Animal Collective Remix)

Oh how I would love to be the fattest man at a music festival, so fat that it's hard to tell whether I'm face up or face down when I recline in the grass. As you can tell, today's kind of a slow day so far (although we do have a brand new podcast thanks to our resident postaholic Nathaniel)... We haven't done one of these megaposts in a while, so I figured I'd give it a shot at upload a bunch of my favorite remixes. Plus, after the crap that DreamHost put us through [...]

Μια ματιά στο πρόγραμμα του Φεστιβάλ Αθηνών και Επιδαύρου με καθησύχασε ότι δεν θα χάσω και πολύ από τις διακοπές μου για χάρη της Τέχνης. Κάτι ο Όστερμάιερ, κάτι το αφιέρωμα στην Πίνα Μπάους, αλλά γενικώς φτωχά τα πράγματα. Η μεγάλη μου ελπίδα από αυτή την κρίση είναι η πλήρης κατάργηση των σαχλοφεστιβάλ των βλαχοδημάρχων. Αλλά που τέτοια τύχη! Πρώτα πεθαίνει ο άνθρωπος και μετά το χούι του. Α! Ο Rufus Wainwright έρχεται στο Φεστιβάλ Αθηνών.Ελπίζω να αρκεστεί στα μελοδραματικά του και να παραλείψει τα κλασσικά [...]

Existence is no more than the precarious attainment of relevance in an intensely mobile flux of past, present, and future. - Susan Sontag Animal Collective - College (Etherea Remix)

New Yorkern ETHEREA dök upp på NMB-radarn i samband med en remix på Animal Collective s College för ett tag sedan och den rockade minst sagt min värld ett väldigt bra tag. Nu har Alec Koone som han egentligen heter bestämt sig för att ge bort sin första samling låtar, FREE ETHEREA (dl), helt gratis. Nya och något äldre remixer varvat med egna spår, alla helt iöronfallande ETHEREA - Eye one two ETHEREA - Needuh [...]
![[mpFree] ETHEREA's FREE ETHEREA](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2460559_lg.jpg)
Because the best things in life are always free (according to many a coffee mug and paperweight), and quite possibly because my man ETHEREA doesn't know just exactly how good he is at making booties bounce, he decided to give away his very first release, appropriately titled FREE ETHEREA . Now some kids will try to lump him in with the chillwave crowd, especially with the track "Sextape" (MP3 below), but I think he's got more of a dubstep meets chillwave meets glitch-hop thing going on. Shrek it out » [...]
I've never of anybody remixing one of St. Vincent's song because they are just the type of songs that you just don't typically hear getting remixed but now Ithaca, NY's Etherea has remixed one of the tracks from her debua album "Marry Me". I have no clue why but they chose... Click the link to read more

Fresh on the heels of that tight Animal Collective remix , NY's ETHEREA hooked us up with a brand new remix for the title track from St. Vincent's 2007 debut LP Marry Me . Check it out: [MP3] St. Vincent - Marry Me (ETHEREA Remix) You should all spend some time listening to the original shiz over at Etherea's myspace . Flying Lotus better watch his back, Etherea's creeping on his turf. Slow but shur. 2010 is gonna be booming.

Det här kära vänner är en riktigt bra remix. ETHEREA har tagit Animal Collective s College , demonterat den till molekyler och sedan monterat ihop en nästintill helt egen låt. NMB
![[MP3] new Animal Collective: "College (ETHEREA Remix)"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2223884_lg.jpg)
Most people would say that Animal Collective has completely reworked their sound since Sung Tongs was released, and to some extent they have... although there's one thing that hasn't changed and probably (hopefully) won't: their love and channeling of Brian Wilson and Pet Sounds / SMiLE -era Beach Boys. Most people ignore the influence (they prefer to think of Animal Collective as completely original in every way) while some (my father included) joke about how AC's music is almost "criminally derivative" -- we all know there's at least a splinter of truth to both [...]
