wild xmas with bomarr, vol. 6 (download) Volume 6 in my ongoing Wild Xmas series is now complete. This year, I'm requesting a $1 donation to help cover server/bandwidth costs, but this donation is by NO MEANS NECESSARY in order to download the mix. You are more than welcome to download any of the Wild Xmas mixes absolutely free, but if you like what I'm doing and want to help out, I have provided a PayPal donate button at the top of the download page. This mix is even weirder [...]
mwahaha - "rainbow diamond" (download) I guarantee you will be hearing more about Mwahaha in the coming months. This Oakland 4-piece blends crazy psychedelia with analog drum machines and thick synth lines, making for an all-out aural treat that deserves repeated headphone listens. Their self-titled record (out December 6) features indie darling Merrill Garbus of tUnE-YarDs, and was mixed and partially recorded by Eli Crews ( Deerhoof , Tune-Yards , WHY? , Restiform Bodies ). [...]
telephone jim jesus - "dice raw (feat. yoni wolf & pedestrian)" (download) Somehow this record from one of my best friends and bandmates, Telephone Jim Jesus , has come up twice this week, so I thought I'd post one of my favorite tracks from it. "Dice Raw" features Anticon's Pedestrian and Yoni Wolf of WHY? on vocals, as well as a couple of tasteful "record drop-ins" from myself. I play drums on a few of the songs from [...]
sole - "cell memory" (download) From the 5th in his series of self-produced Mansbestfriend releases. The upcoming Mansbestfriend Vol. 5 (out May 15) is still just as "experimental" as the earlier versions, but somehow a bit more poppy. This song stood out to me most, which is funny because according to Sole , the original working title for this track in Digital Performer was "Restiform". You can pre-order Mansbestfriend Vol. 5 right over at the Sole webstore [...]
sister crayon - "anti psalm (bomarr remix)" I did this remix recently for my friends Sister Crayon . They just released their great debut album Bellow on Manimal Vinyl ( Rainbow Arabia , Bat For Lashes , Warpaint , etc). I'm really happy with how this turned out, and I'm excited for people to hear it. Please support Sister Crayon and go buy their new record right here
crimekillz - "girls in black (passage remix)" (download) Machina Muerte week continues on the Bomarr Blog . Here's a brand new Passage remix of Tucson's crimekillz (formerly CRIME ). Completely different from the original, but just as nasty. These guys have a new record coming out on Gonjasufi & Mainframe 's A1R label in the coming months, so you'll be hearing more about them here soon. [...]
sharpe & numan - "change your mind" (download) It's no secret that I'm a huge Gary Numan fan. He had a huge influence on the birth of my "band" Restiform Bodies , and I still get chills listening to some of his early songs. This track was recorded at the end of the 802s (not known to be some of Numan's best years), but it still stands up as a decent pop song. In 1988, this single reached #17 on Britain's [...]
mndr - "i go away" (stream-only) Amanda Warner has more talent in her pinkie than you have in your entire body. I can guarantee this. Not only does she know how to write a great pop song, but she will school all you gear junkies out there beyond comprehension. She's spent some time in the Bay Area doing her own MNDR stuff (pronounced "man-dar"), as well as stuff with the band tRIANGLE , and has since been calling [...]
Here's a brand new video collage I made for a song of mine called "Strugglebus." All the video is taken from Creative Commons-licensed footage. It's very similar to what I did for my Surface Sincerity video back in 2003. The song itself is a rough mix of one of the tracks from my upcoming record. If you like the video, please do what you can to share it on Twitter, Facebook, etc. Help me get the word out. Oh, and the silence at the beginning is intentional. Don't be alarmed.
mochipet - "anticon on atari (restiform bodies remix)" A little treat for you from Mochipet 's Master P On Atari Transformed Volume 1 , the first volume in a couple of remix companions to last years Master P On Atari . Not only does this record have remixes from my "group" Restiform Bodies , you also have remixes from Deceptikon (whose remix of Copy 's " Assassinator " was posted on the Bomarr Blog a while back ), Matt [...]
madness2012 - "hang the way" (download) Meet Madness2012 (known to his friends as Justin Delaet). Master beatboxer, prolific MC, and all-around great guy. He's been doing this rap thing for many years now. Back in the day, he appeared on one side of a split cassette single that I put out with some friends. The song was called " Bullshit ," and on the flipside was Telephone Jim Jesus 's first ever recorded vocal appearance on a song called " Tapeworm ." Madness2012 has [...]
restiform bodies hangover mixtape (download) I know you're not feeling 100% today, so relax, re-hydrate, and listen to the Restiform Bodies Hangover Mixtape that Jim Jesus and I compiled a while back for the Ego Eccentric blog.
Wild Xmas With Bomarr, Vol. 4 (download) I did Volume 3 back in 2007, and said that it would be my last Xmas mix in the series, but after getting inspired, and actually finding an impressive chunk of Xmas-themed music this year, I've decided to do another...maybe even another after this! Who knows? Even if you're not a fan of Xmas music, you may still enjoy this. I'm not a fan of Xmas music in general, but more of a fan of digging up some of these [...]
restiform bodies - "black friday" (download) A fitting day to post this. Check out " Black Friday " from my group Restiform Bodies . Happy post-turkey day. I'm sure you all have a food hangover like me. myspace buy
lazer sword - "koopa boss mode" (download) As always, the Lazer Sword boys kill it on this brand new (formerly only-live) track, "Koopa Boss Mode" . They're headed back to Europe, starting this Friday, and will be joined with the likes of Gaslamp Killer , Debruit , Subtitle , Rustie and more along the way. Check the tour dates below, and while you're at it, grab the Sweatpants Money Mixtape here , featuring part of the remix they [...]
health - "die slow (tobacco remix)" (download) I have been LOVING this song lately. Tobacco (of Black Moth Super Rainbow ) can really do no wrong when he's doing remixes. (Check the aweome Restiform Bodies remix he did here ). Here, he remixes HEALTH 's " Die Slow " from their awesome new record Get Color . These guys put on a really intense live show, and they're on tour right now (with awesome opener Pictureplane ), so go see them [...]
HEALTH have always been an interesting band for me. Or perhaps a band of interest. Whatever. I could never all out "be into them" but I always sway towards their sounds when I hear... [go to the website to read the rest of the article, download mp3s and more]
passage - "down 4 whatever" (download) When he's not fronting Restiform Bodies , or rapping his ass off with Brothers Backword , or dancing around like a schizophrenic monkey with tourettes in Bat Rays , David Bryant/Passage is putting out catchy as hell, synthy rap releases like " Pass Money Multi ". This recently released digital EP is ONLY available direct through Passage , meaning if you follow the link below and click the "buy" button, Passage will email you the link himself to where [...]
pedestrian - "o hallelujah (bomarr re-do)" (download) A new take on Pedestrian 's "Oh Hosanna" from his unIndian Songs Vol. 1 release. Most of the vocals were re-written and re-recorded, and the music is completely different than the original album version. All music (guitars,drums,loops,samples) courtesy of yours truly, except for a brief accordion appearance from Matt Harrison . This is a re-do/remix/revamp in 9 parts. myspace buy [...]
lil' mama - "lip gloss (bomarr remix)" Here's a little remix I whipped up a couple years back of Lil' Mama 's "Lip Gloss" . Enjoy.
