In seventh grade, when Marcy Playground's "Sex and Candy" took Everclear's spot atop my local Top 40 radio station's nightly request countdown, I knew the following about sex: 1. The best way to get money for Marvel cards was by stealing porn magazines from my older brother, cutting out the pictorials, and selling them to classmates. (Ryan Devens: you still owe me five dollars for that Jenny McCarthy Playboy spread where she's wearing the Santa costume, you rat.) 2. OH MY GOD THEY'RE SAYING "SEX" ON THE RADIO. From Atlanta, La Chansons [...]
The Buffetlibre DJs Rewind 2 .0 project was released on their website on January 1. The project features a variety of covers and remixes from years past. Unlike the first project, this featured a bigger group of artists and tracks (89 tracks in total). All tracks are free for download so just visit the website to get them all. I was quite aware of the 1st project and checked it out like I did this one but I finally gave it up after being disappointed with some of the covers. It definitely takes a lot [...]
Buffetlibre DJ's put together a collection of 70's, 80's, and 90's remakes. I'll be honest, I haven't heard of most of the artists involved, but so far it's been getting very good reception. Before the new year really gets its ass rolling many people like to take some time too look back. I haven't had time to listen to the whole collection yet, but here are some samples. The Boat People - Livin' On A Prayer (Bon Jovi Cover) La Chansons - Sex And Candy (Marcy Playground Cover) [...]
Spanish DJ collective Buffetlibre unleashed their massive new project Rewind 2 onto the internet today. The project consists of 70 songs from the 70s , 80s and 90s reimagined by some of today's best underground/blog artists. Go here to download the whole thing. A few of my favorites are below. Starfucker - Girls Just Wanna Have Fun (Cindy Lauper Cover) [ YSI ] Diamond Cut - Teardrops (Woman & Womack Cover) [ YSI ] The Old Believers - Naive Melody (Talking Heads Cover) [ YSI ] Heads We [...]
The lovely duo La Chansons sent me their new track "Cinderella Tonight" to share with you all. I featured them very briefly a while back when whining about how boring the cover art to Madonna's "4 Minutes" was. Clearly that is not enough, hence this post. La Chansons took form in 2004 when Greg and Carson began dating. Like in a modern fairytale, Greg asked Carson if she wanted to be in a band with him on one of those dates and they have been spreading their kitschy electro pop ever [...]
Sold my Blackberry today. I don't know how I'm going to cope without my crack. For those without Blackberry's, having one is quite addictive. "So why did you sell it then?" I'm waiting for the Blackberry Bold , tis why. So, for the time being, OG cellphone with an antennae! Eine Kleine Nacht Musik - La Serenissima Poni Hoax - Antibodies p e a c e FIRE - Baghdad Rainbow Treasure Fingers - Cross the Dancefloor [...]
La Chansons have been busy with some new songs and mixes - here's a new mix of "You Put the Moves in Me" which is a bit of a more forward late night disco sound than some of their other synth pop tracks. Kinda in love with this one. The beginning vocal melody kinda reminds me of Visage's "Fade to Grey" - it's not an exact copy or probably even intentional, but it tickles my brain and makes me think of that. La Chansons - "You Put The Moves In Me"
"Sparklin" is my fav song off La Chansons' Love Love Love All Day - they recently gave the track a bit of a facelift and now it is even more of a favorite. Such a perfect little pop song... all about rediscovering yr youth through a pair of twenty year old skates. We were solid gold... mm, La Chanson are solid gold. La Chansons - "Sparklin" (new mix) (mp3) Oh, and exciting - Dan Geller of I Am The World Trade Center is [...]
So I'm trying this new thing at the gym. When I'm on the elliptical machine, I'm attempting to do it without holding on. It's supposed to be a better workout because it's "working my core." I don't know exactly what that means, but I'm doing it anyway. I can't go quite as fast as I normally would and every once in a while I feel like I'm going to topple over to one side and then I have to grab on. But the more I do it, the easier it is to maintain a [...]
So, here is the cover of Madonna's up-coming single, "4 Minutes", featuring Justin Timberlake... Now, I like the song but the cover is kinda...cheap? In Madonna-terms, anyway. But I guess they don't put much effort into single-covers these days. This won't get you fired, will it, Kip!? Since I can't post the actual MP3, and there really was to point to this post, here's a cute song that has nothing to do with Madge or Trousersnake: [...]
I am so in love with husband/wife duo La Chansons . Straight of Georgia - they remind me a lot of fellow Georgia girl/boy synth pop duo I Am The World Trade Center. Vocalist Carson has similar vocal qualities as Amy Dykes, and their synth is just as yummy. "Workout Love" is such a perfect little song and brings me back to the days when all I listened to was synth pop... like I said, I'm in love. Keep an eye on these guys... I'm hoping for big things: La Chansons - [...]
