second time i let you, let you ride the pony MEN - Off Our Backs M EN is a side project of two members of Le Tigre , a band I know very little of, so my initial excitement at their existence was minimal at best. Then I heard their music. What!? Its not everyday you stumble across lyrics like "I've gotta fuck my best, to get a little tiny baby," especially not layered over super-danceable synth grooves like these. The aforementioned lyrics are actually from "Credit [...]

Riot Grrrl was an underground feminist punk movement during the 1990's that sparked a subculture well after the movement faded away. Riot grrrl consisted of catharsis and political activism and many of the lyrics, but not all, were about rape, domestic issues, male dominance of the social hierarchy, lesbianism, and female empowerment. The confrontational music of riot grrrl was raging, willfully amateurish blasts of noise, and only a slight emphasis on melody and instrumental technique. The abrasiveness served several purposes - it ensured that the anti-corporate music would never [...]

Кто бы мог подумать? Diplo и Playboy ! Не видите связи, прошу вас - playboy.com : PLAYBOY: Какое свое выступление ты считаешь лучшим в этом году? DIPLO : Финальную вечеринку моего последнего тура по США. В Филадельфии к нам пришло 1300 человек. И это был мой день рождения. Я купил 125 пицц, и у нас получилась гигантская пицца-вечеринка для всех моих друзей. Это была просто безумная ночь! PLAYBOY: У тебя есть какой-нибудь ритуал перед игрой? DIPLO [...]

La semaine dernière, les filles étaient mélancoliques , aujourd'hui elles sont en révolte. On va le voir au travers du "riot grrrl", nom donné au début des années 90 à un mouvement de groupes post-punk féminins, et même féministes. Le "riot grrrl", c'est d'abord Kathleen Hanna, qui a fondé plusieurs groupes mythiques : Bikini Kill, Julie Ruin, Le Tigre. C'est avec elle que l'on démarre ce post. Après, on jouera avec les époques, riot grrrl ou pas, mais sans remonter à Janis Joplin, et en oubliant PJ Harvey [...]
Первая компиляция получилась довольно разнообразной, тут вам и инди и классический электрохаус, и техно, и балтимор, с которого и начнем: Я скорее соглашусь, что балтимор однообразен, построен на повторяющихся сэмплах и аутентичных балтиморовских ударных. Тем не менее следующий образец на редкость привлекателен и его можно даже просто послушать с удовльствием не то, что потанцевать. Главную тему вы могли уже слышать у Art of noise или T.I. – Why you wanna. DJ Defkline and Red Polo - Gypsy boots (alt) Jack Beats делает этакую смесь дабстепа и спид-гаража, получается [...]

I am consistently astounded as to how badass Diplo is. So astounded, in fact, that I wanted to get all of his remixes (the ones I really like) under one roof and see what kind of playlist it created. Here's what I came up with: *MP3: Spoon - "Don't You Evah" (Diplo Remix) *MP3: Brazilian Girls - "Good Time" (Diplo Remix) *MP3: Diplo - "Way More Brazil" *MP3: The Pixes - "Hey" (Diplo Remix) *MP3: Spank Rock - "Put That Pussy On Me" [...]
I've been trying to see this little Norwegian gem for quite some time now. Finally last night I found some (late) time and pressed the play button on this one; an action I should have done a long time ago. Reprise is written and directed by Norwegian director Joachim Trier. The plot revolves around two young wannabe-authors and their lives in modern Oslo. Ambition, love, friends, mental

I can't put my finger on what elevates DFA remixes above most others... some sort of poppy x-factor I guess. I'm sure we can expect some more funky goodness from these guys in 2009. Here are some tracks that have made their way into my sets: Nine Inch Nails - Hand That Feeds (DFA Remix) M.I.A. - Paper Planes (DFA Remix) Jill Scott - Golden (DFA Remix) Le Tigre - Deceptacon (DFA Remix)
Yes, the comic was the first thing that popped up when I googled "workout." I recently joined the gym, and I know that with New Year's coming and resolutions in the air, many of you may not be far behind me. Music really helps keep me going through my workout, so I thought I would post this workout mix. Freak Of Nature [mp3] - Anastacia - "Freak of Nature" (iTunes) - Start out with this slower,

I guess this is a double flashback of sorts as Le Tigre released the song Deceptacon several years ago as well this remix was made a few years after that. Either way this is a triple fabulous post because it includes Le Tigre, Deceptacon & a DFA Remix ! Enjoy! Deceptacon (DFA Remix) [...]

I haven't seen Guy Ritchie's new movie RocknRolla yet. The film received mixed reviews and then the A-Rod divorce scandal hit. However, the soundtrack is phenomenal. The Clash, The Subways, The Beat, The Hives, The Sonics, 20-20's, War and Lou Reed are some of the artists that contribute tracks. It's by far his heaviest soundtrack to date. Download the Rocknrolla Soundtrack from iTunes (Click Here) Download: MP3: RocknRolla - No School Like The Old School MP3: DJ Shadow [...]

Diplo - сокращение от diplodocus, то есть диплодок, дружелюбный травоядный динозавр, - такой псевдоним взял себе Wesley Pentz, диджей и продюсер из Филадельфии, в детстве мечтавший стать палеонтологом. Копаясь в земле на заднем дворе в поисках костей древних животных, юный Wesley внимал ритмам грязного южного crunk и miami bass, регулярно посещал хип-хоповые и данс-холловые концерты в парке через дорогу, а в поездке в Бразилию подцепил вирус местного байла-фанка. Впоследствии, работая официантом и школьным учителем, Diplo параллельно писал музыку, и в 2004 выпустил альбом Florida на Big Dada, подлейбле Ninja Tune, преимущественно с даунтемпо и трип-хопом, [...]

Today I bring a remix of the blogtastic Passion Pit . This is the first time I have posted about Passion Pit (though I have seen them over at the elbo.ws ). The remix is from the new Low Scores project, Pollination . The Pollination material is more noisy and slightly less epic sounding that the straight up Low Scores remixes. The Pollination blog is here . Listen: "Sleepyhead (Pollination Remix)" (box.net mp3) For comparison purposes, the original: "Sleepyhead" (box.net mp3) French Kiss Records is [...]
