After a brief hiatus, I've returned to cover a few records that came out at the end of last year and also to celebrate something very special. And it is because this occasion is so special that I've prepared a speech: Our first year online [pause for applause] Thank you for reading last year, now and in the future. You are the stars [pause for applause] Yes, one year is a long time, but my love for you all will never die [pause for applause] Thank [...]
Most commonly known as three-fifths of the influential indie synth outfit, The Faint , Clark Baechle, Todd Fink, and Jacob Thiele have begun working on a new project called Depressed Buttons . If you are fan of big synths, check out the trio's first single "Ow!," which will be featured on their 12/14 release, QWERTY ... As if "Ow" wasn't enough to get you hooked, Depressed Buttons have also thrown together a mixtape that brings together current hits with [...]
![[MP3] DEPRESSED BUTTONS came on and i was like, OW! hell yeah!](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2979720_lg.jpg)
ow ow ow! ♫ Depressed Buttons - Ow! I should probably save this jam for Friday 'cause it's gonna be tough to pull the appropriate dance moves while sitting down. Fuck it, Wednesday dance party! Somebody kill the lights and fire up the strobe! Anyone who is a fan of The Faint (me!) will definitely not recognize this as sounding similar, although Depressed Buttons is in fact 3/5th of the pioneering Omaha indie rockers. This sugary glitch n' grind extravaganza is certainly better than the last Faint album and I'm stoked [...]
The Faint - Worked Up So Sexual "Some people need a little challenge to their fantasies and hope" I am not the best at trying to determine what genre some artists or songs should associate themselves with, so I might need help with this one, but all I know is, this is one to shake ya ass too!!! This is a dance song for sure, and it is so much fun! Was even featured in "The Office" awhile back. I should probably check out a few other songs by this band [...]
Depressed Buttons is the new project from Todd Fink, Clark Baechle, and Jacob Thiele of Omaha based synth-rock band The Faint . They started the whole thing only for Dj-sets but are now creating their own tunes. Check out this huge banger and be already ready for the next weekend! Their debut EP QWERTY will be out December 7 via Mad Decent . mp3 | Ow!
You know, when you think about it, buttons kinda have if rough. I mean, everyone pushing, poking, and prodding at them all the time, just to see what they'll do? It's no wonder they get depressed! Well, we guess the Germans were really onto something with " Schadenfreude ," because "Ow!", the first track from Mad Decent 's rising digital-dance-music-mavens, Depressed Buttons (actually three-fifths of the indie synthpop group The Faint (Clark Baechle, Todd Fink, and Jacob Thiele), is nothing but fun times!
Depressed Buttons-Ow! by maddecent Qwerty EP out soon on Mad Dececnt! "Depressed Buttons sounds like techno gone wrong from children of the corn in Nebraska" - Diplo Most commonly known as three-fifths of the influential indie synth outfit, The Faint, Clark Baechle, Todd Fink, and Jacob Thiele have begun their journey into the future of sound with their new project Depressed Buttons. With a filthy lust for synthesizers, the band creates all their own tracks leaving [...]
Yeah. We've all been there. And your ladies of The Steam Co. are here to support you in your time of need. This mix is for the lovely and always refreshingly honest Courtney K., who would like to get some this weekend. To her we say, "get it gurrrrrrl," and enjoy this mix while you do. "The XX "You Got The Love (Florence and the Machine Cover)" "Twin Sister - Dry Hump" "Metric - The Twist" "Active Child - Wilderness" [...]
A smooth sailing, easy to digest debut from this Los Angeles duo and power couple.
illustration: Rainer Hachfeld This week brought us the news that North Korea might soon have a new main man, or top dog if you will. Nobody is really even sure what he looks like, but apparently he's Kim Jong-il's son and is known as the 'Brilliant Comrade' (and why the Hell not). Here follow the potential stages of the Brilliant Comrade 's career, as imagined by Letters have no Arms. Glasvegas - Daddy's Gone [...]
Jay Watson and Nick "Paisley Adams" Allbrook are not unfamiliar with success. They are used to it as members of Tame Impala, the group from Western Australia that released perhaps the best psychedelic-rock release of 2010 in Innerspeaker. It was a beast of an album that has drawn acclaim for a genre too familiar with [...]
The first time I heard a successful loop, I was standing in The Backyard with a protective body behind me. Damien Rice was onstage performing his last song. He would play a bit, press the pedal, and the bit would play over again and again and again. While the bit played he would play another bit or sing a different bit, hit the pedal, and again the bit would play. He did this again and again until the entire venue in which I was standing was reverberating with the sounds of this loop, this steady stream of song, that seemed [...]
SLUTTER | Photo by: Rebecca Everett-Ortiz So, it appears most everyone came out of last weekend's Pitchfork Music Festival unscathed. Good job, Chicago! We've got an even bigger fest looming on the horizon. Anyway, we certainly had a good time. Make sure you check out all of our Pitchfork Music Festival Coverage from the past week. Anyway, this weekend the music keeps on rolling here in the Windy City. Things kick off tonight with the all-girl KISS tribute SLUTTER at the Bottom Lounge , then [...]
This is just a quick wee post with a few of the key tracks from last Friday night. It was a really good night in the club, and there were tons of good requests. First up is a track that was chosen by Catherine , someone who I haven't saw down at the club much, but who made this excellent choice. It's The Faint 's 'Adenda Suicide'. I've got a lot of time for The Faint and their brand of dark yet funky fired-up post-punk. Had a wee dance to this myself. [...]
Hey guys! Posts are going to be a little sparse over the next week because I am leaving town. We'll be in Brooklyn tomorrow to play XX-XY with Kids At The Bar, VHSorBETA, John Bourke of Trash Yourself, Jesse Jamz & Whitney Fierce. It's going to be a raging good time! Then we're hanging out in NYC until Thursday when we head to Atlanta to play with Le Castle Vania, Depressed Buttons (The Faint) and RRRUMP at their monthly FUCK YESSS party! We're so pumped for that night! After that we're off to LA [...]
![[46:15] Mix O'Clock](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2570740_lg.jpg)
Τα remix έρχονται από παντού. Φτάνει μόνο να τσεκάρεις το email σου ανά 10 λεπτά και μετά να βρεις χρόνο για το ξεκαθάρισμα. Τσοκ δουλειά! Αυτή η Mix O'Clock (εδώ και 3 βδομάδες περιμένει να..ανέβει) έχει, σχεδόν, τα πάντα: Ένα piano-pella που δεν λέει να σταματήσει (παίζει ακόμη και όταν κοιμάσαι), ένα motel κάπου στο Camino Del Sol (έχεις ξαναπάει, αλλά δεν το θυμάσαι), άλογα που τραγουδάνε acapella (βρε μανία με το pella), ληγμένα μανιτάρια (με τέτοια κρίση, θα τα φας!), μια βόμβα καμουφλαρισμένη σε μπουκάλι λεμονάδας (3...2...1...την άνοιξες; Σόρι, του λέιτ), μπουφέ από 80s synths (μασουλάς και παίζεις [...]
I'm actually writing this post from my Uni's library. They have all these signs plastered around the place about not using these computers for unsolicited behavior bla bla bla. I'm an xcore rebel, i don't conform - I write secret blog posts about music in complete secrecy. I deserve like 3 indie points for that [...]
When most Americans think of Ottawa, they picture the historic cholera outbreak of 1832 or the precise urban planning of Frenchman Jacques Greber. However, in addition to being recognized for these fascinating details, Canada's capitol city supports a pretty solid little house scene. At the center of this lies Disorganized (now Frenzy), a monthly party which for the past 7 years has brought Ottawa's dance community together to party with some of the world's top DJs. Founders DJ Booth and Chameleonic , together known as Jokers of the [...]
