Do you like things that are supposed to be scary but are actually cute? Do you like hallucinogenic drug trips (the good kind)? Do you like lo-fi psych folk pop? Then by all means watch the video for "1973" by Tahiti Boy & The Palmtree Family . It looks like a modern day Sid & Marty Krofft directed it.
Tuesday, February 17, 2009 Today's Quick Mention: Yes. Instead of sharing some new tunes I decided to spend my President's Day making sure that my couch was still comfortable. It is. Thank whoever. On a related note, my Xbox 360 is as fun as I remembered. Time for another EP! Enjoy. : Tahiti Boy And The Palmtree Family - That Song : Going hand-in-hand with my lazy afternoon yesterday was this relaxing number from Tahiti Boy and the Palmtree [...]
While this week's edition of our Friday Mixtape might not provide a great soundtrack for any Valentine's Day shenanigans, at least it will help hold your attention while you're waiting for that 1-800-Flowers delivery or in line for dinner at Olive Garden. After all, like always, below you will find the week's best mix of new singles, covers, and remixes, along with mp3s from a few up-and-comers you just might want to check out. NEW Singles: "Bayonets" by Amazing Baby "My Maudlin Career" [...]

Black Lips are savvy motherfuckers, ostensibly building a successful career by playing '60s and punk-inspired, lo-fi garage rock (or, what they call "flower punk") that isn't better or worse than the inoffensive garage rock (not called "flower punk") made by a zillion other bands. They mix in some lite elements of Southern soul and rap (take a listen to "The Drop I Hold") here/there, but you can dig into Estrus, Crypt, In the Red (Black Lips old label home), Get Hip!, Bomp (BL's other past label), etc., and find plenty of analogous acts. (To look backwards, their sound hits on [...]

Tahiti Boy & the Palmtree Family are a Parisian indie-pop octet with a boatload of regularly contributing friends. Among them is Justice's Xaviar De Rosnay and the star of Rachel Getting Married Tunde Adebimpe. Both feature on the Palmtree Family's forthcoming EP, with Adebimpe slated to sing with the band at the Pianos-stop of their upcoming US mini-tour. This song, "That Song," has Tunde and Tahiti Boy trade vocals over a minimal, moody track built of organs, flutes and brushsticks, recalling strains of Talk Talk and the more hushed and fragile side of Phoenix. It's a pretty one. [...]
If I judged bands by the company they kept (as I often do), I'd already be way into Tahiti Boy and the Palmtree Family . Fellow Parisians Justice are fans (Xavier de Rosnay contributes a remix to the band's self-titled U.S. debut EP ), and TV on the Radio's Tunde Adebimpe is listed as a contributor and Palmtree Family member as well. If you're already familiar with the band's "Yellow Submarine"-cribbing " 1973 " (a song so overloaded with sunshine it would make Tim DeLaughter blush), you'll be surprised [...]

Pendant que les bou(r)ses s'éc(r)oulent Nous continuons à danser, à chanter, à fêter Le moindre rayon de soleil Illuminant la journée. "Et après ?" nous dit La fourmi . Après nous mangerons Les champignons Que nous avons ramassés Dans le bois aux fées, Et nous verrons bien l' effet Que ça nous fait. [...]
Phew, well it's been a rather hairy week, with my newish Vista PC suddenly deciding to not recognise my external hard drive - containing all my music. I'm rather embarrassed to admit quite how much is on there, but suffice to say it would have been slightly annoying had I lost it all. Fortunately though, after a bit of messing round with drivers it seems to be back in business. Relief all round

Quindi c'è da aspettare per una nuova Clap Your Hands To The Electricity, ma gli amici di Blue Walrus non ci lasciano senza una compilation estiva a cui aggrapparci per le lazy summer weeks a venire. Summer Dayse Through The Folkish Haze. Alcune chicche gustose. Tipo questa. Go get the whole thing . Tahiti Boy and the Palmtree Family > 1973 [...]

I'll apologise at the start for the lack of updates from me for the last month. Hectic doesn't even come close to summing up the last few weeks. There was the end of exams, followed by trying to earn some quick cash, followed by one amazing loved up week in Ibiza, then graduation. It's been tiring. Anyway, enough of the excuses. This compilation has been finished for a couple of weeks but I just haven't had time to upload all the tracks, which meant I couldn't let share it with you all. Onto the music. Here [...]

photo : bastien lattanzio ui ui ce soir c'est le concert de Hot Chip à paris mais même si je n'avais pas eu des affaires urgentes à régler dans ma bonne ville de Bordeaux, j'aurais du déclarer forfait tellement je suis fatiguée après un weekend ou j'ai assez rigolé pour 7 ans. "tu rigoles trop" me dit Jeremy Kraeger" je ne sais pas en tout cas rien de mieux pour me calmer que d'écouter en boucle le magique Can't Say Goodby de Snoop Dogg album de la [...]

Rapide compte wendu des concerts de la semaine (avant les concerts du Week End ) : Lundi : Tahiti Boy & The Palmtree Family / MGMT à la Maroquinerie. La première partie d'MGMT n'avait pas été annoncée, c'est donc au dernier moment qu'on (avec Capken) a appris que Tahiti (pas 80) Boy allait ouvrir pour les Brooklynais. Wésultat c'était pas mal, parfois un peu trop prog, mais mieux que ce à quoi je m'attendais (après de vagues écoutes sur myspace & le [...]

Tahiti Boy and the Palmtree Family feels a bit like France's answer to the Animal Collective. The Palmtree Family is a collection of artists and musicians led by Tahiti Boy and shares members with Poney Poney and Syd Matters . They recently released a seven inch on Arcade Mode - you'll find that "She Was Mine" sounds a bit out of place for this decade, but it is so easy to love that it doesn't matter. Tahiti Boy and the Palmtree Family - "She Was Mine" (mp3) [...]

photo: a n d y voila je voulais mettre une photo de oni et ludivine ici parce qu'oni et ludivine pour moi c'est un peu le futur de l'amour, beau, rigolos et talentueux. mais le nombre de mes amis augmente de façon exponentielle (i'm getting nicer as time goes by) et pharrell me fait l'excellente suggestion de taper myspace dot com slash oni et de voir si je tombe sur onichou. et en fait je crois qu'il a supprimé son compte mais je suis, et pharrell est, et nous sommes finalement BIEN CONTENT de [...]
