Artwork by Sandra Chi & Ciaran O'Shea Courtesy of Brooklyn street-wear company Mishka and popular for their musical participation via the Keep Watch mix series , now comes a visionary new mix from Trash Menagerie favorite Passions (aka Math Head ). The mix, entitled "Music Without Tears," provides insightful musical context to his many influences as a producer while also foreshadowing aspects of the increasingly electronic-inspired genre darkwave. Culling from the godfathers of Post-Punk and Goth while placing the work of London-based darkwave label [...]
Produced by the Pet Shop Boys, covers the Passion's original, and the Mark Reeder's version is pour moi. Maybe it's because I was just listening to 'Hurricane' by Kim Carnes, couldn't find a tube clip of it tho. Apparently Sam Taylor-Wood is some conceptual artist (now what is human....), but I didn't dig deeper, the [...]
Okay, everyone is in love with Passion Pit right now and eagerly awaiting the drop of the new album, Manners (If you're not, here's your first head's up). Sleepyhead has been on my iPod for almost 6 months. It was love at first listen. [...]

Post Punk had a mad crush on all things German. German art. German novels. German music. John Lydon regularly name checked Can. Ultravox! nicked their exclamation mark from Neu! And OMD's Paul Humphreys was so besotted with Kraftwerk that he slept with one of their albums under his pillow. With its gleaming new cities, its multi-lane roadways and high-speed rail links, and its cool, technical proficiency, Germany seemed to embody the spirit of modernity, even as it was haunted by the ghost of its tragic past. This strange fascination with the Teutonic provided The Passions with their sole hit, a [...]
When you put together a bag of sweets from the pick'n'mix counter, you can end up with all sorts of strange things next to one another that seemingly have nothing in common other than they taste delicious.So it is with this random selection of fine tunes. Savour them individually. Or wolf them down in one sitting. You can even throw away the ones you don't like (much the same way as I could never
Here for your listening pleasure is the second installment of Trash's new monthly feature entitled "Trash In the Bassment." This mix is recorded once a month by yours truly ( The Crooked Clef ), in a live one-take fashion. The songs chosen on the mix are a collection of songs I've downloaded from fellow blogs, songs written about here on Trash Menagerie, and songs I've purchased through out the month. The feature is designed to put what is a growing bombardment of internet-related music into the context of a mix, while highlighting a wide mixture of music from across the [...]
Dude's Myspace Is Elite The next time you're talking to one of your favorite DJs, make sure to ask them who they're listening to. Often we take mixtapes at face value, assuming everything present must be a DJ's central focus. Lurking beneath and behind a DJ's tracklist though is a collection of artists and genres that may make evolutionary sense, but a DJs arsenal truly comes from the less obvious; those who cite a more nuanced roster of influences are the ones best for ear-stretching. Courtesy of recent Trash Menagerie guest [...]
Some of us Europeans (as in countries counted as being in the continent of Europe) are a bit of the opinion that U.S electro/club/"whatever-the-fuc k-it's-called"scene is a bit crappy and slightly obsessed with wearing pink t-shirts that say "Nu-Rave" (we did that like 3 years ago). I bet Americans feel the same way... we are prententious idiots who won't except new things.... but this isn't about a post about who is better. Because everybody knows that is where it has been going down (under) (lol) in Australia for sometime now.... :-P Shit, I've gone off-track. What I am saying [...]
Haunting, perhaps, but nonetheless brilliant and scarily talented, is the producer and alter-ego Passions . Known to others as Trouble & Bass member Math Head and affectionately known in his public life as Ben Deitz, he has so far led an exceptionally modest and varied career as a DJ and musician. Remixing the likes of Fischerspooner , HEALTH , The Teenagers , and Foals under his Passions alias, and dropping incomparable Dubstep and Electro tunes under his Math Head project, Ben is one of the most dynamic and [...]
Passions has been busy working on an epic two hour mix for Mishka . To build up some hype, this little teaser has been floating around the Internet - a healthy dose of nu-goth with some darkwave undertones. There are def some essential tracks here. Can't wait for the full thing... until then this thirty-four minute long teaser will have to hold us over: Passions - "Music Without Tears" (teaser) (via Unit One ) Tracklisting Tracklist: [...]
I don't think I can honestly explain these songs nor will I attempt to. I'm going to let you decipher them yourself. If you want to find yourself on another planet (or come close), then these songs are for you, hand picked and ready for your consumption. Catch you in space guys and gals! Mind-fuck yourself. (Editors Note: If you still haven't figure out how to download a song from our site, simply right-click the name of the song (which will be in blue) and click on "save link as..." pretty self explanatory.)

Okay hey blog, there has been a slight hiatus, Nick and Elliot have thrown up some good shit (viewable: below this post). Anyways, much pondering has been done in this time period. I'm slowing down with le blogg-icing while I'm laying down a heap of fresh tracks. but lately I'm doing a fair amount of questioning of the nature of most music that I'm hearing (and making). Blog-House/Electro-house/Hipst er-Culture + The Same Bass and Snare In every song + DRNK and FRKY bros at the shows = A [...]

It's not Britney. It's not Madonna. It's Maria Mena. A little-known Norwegian artist. Great backdrop, impeccable dress and fitting typeface. I like it and the singles are not so bad either.
