Wow. Where does the week go? For me, this week was spent trying to get over a chest cold...no more smoking cigs for this guy. For the rest of you people out there , the first week in Janurary meant getting back to work. But YES, today IS Friday (and a COLD one at that) In honor of this momentus occasion, below are some dance tracks to get things going before the weekend. The first one is from a great new band called Young Love - who I saw on New Years Eve at the Hiro Ballroom. Check em out. [...]
Down On The Ground - British Sea Power I'm relatively new to British Sea Power, with their latest EP being my first (and only) experience, but this has been more than enough to convince me that they're worth some attention. I can only imagine what their live shows are like, but judging from the atmosphere they generate in their recorded music, it would be pretty special. Diagonal – The Motifs In case you don't know, The Motifs is mostly one girl, Alexis, from Melbourne, playing some unbelievably sweet [...]
Well we all know that I'm in love with everything the prolific Blake Miller (Lights Out/Weird Science/Moving Units) does, so when he announced on Monday the beginning of yet another project, I got a bit excited. This time he's teamed up with the 24-year-old platinum-haired Dylan Eiland aka DJ DJ Dylan aka Le Castle Vania , to form the super-duo, Lies in Disguise (oh it rhymes!). They've started things off by remixing the "slightly hetero focused" debut single, Penis vs Vagina, from adorable/insufferable British electro outfit/Toys R Us advocates, Partyshank , and if I [...]
Kid Millionaire Dim Mak Records He makes you dance at night,makes clothes for you to wear in between his schedule and runs the most eclectic indie label during the day... He goes by the name of Steve Aoki aka Dj Kid Millionaire. Who is he you say? Well he is probably someone you can call a "Busy Person". Jokes aside, he is the son of the founder of the Benihana restaurant chain and brother of model/actress Devon Aoki(Sin City, 2 fast 2 furious,Dead or Alive). [...]
In the absence of X and Z bands, we shall end on a Y note...why not. Young Love contributed this instrumental to a split 7" with Aurora Paralysis that was released on Assembly Records in 1992. As far as I know, this is the only song they managed to share with the world. So I'm, erm, sharing it back. Nothing much happens for the first buck fifty, but thereafter it turns into a nice bit of Bedheaded Codeine. It sounds more like a sunrise than the sun to me, so they missed their one shot at song name aptness, the [...]
How great is the music at SXSW that I have seen so far? Thursday night again was a good one...started the night with Joan As Policewoman at the Ale House with a stark, beautiful and haunting performance. Listen to some tunes here Canadian night at Maggie May's was pretty hot with Malajube Montreal 40 Degree C Last night's highlight was Brighton's Fujiya & [...]
pic: DirtyDirtyDancing POST MALABAR BIGOUT : un côté chic avec les Young Lovers , un côté choc avec Chamillionaire et Justin Timberlake. A vrai dire, j'ai du mal à écrire quelque chose de censé et de bien. POURQUOI? Je viens de regarder un film avec Roland Magdane , et j'ai écouté plus de 40 fois d'afilé l'album de Seth Gueko , d'ailleurs si le monde était peuplé de Roland Magdane, on aurait toujours la bonne répartie [...]
If you've been following my posts at all, then you may I've noticed that I've mentioned Young Love a fewtimes but haven't really gone into any detail on him. Well now I am... bitches. Young Love - Too Young to Fight it Lets talk about man behind Young Love for a second: Dan Keyes (of former Recover fame). Both Rodeo & Picasso and Ceci N'est Pas Recover had heavy CD rotation way way [...]
While not as claustrophobic as last weeks pile of great new releases, there are still plenty to go 'round this last week of January. I've already posted plenty on Lily Allen's Alright, Still , but now you can finally get it without importing (or, God forbid, stealing.) Playlist: New Releases 01.30.07 Here's a rundown of what's downloading into my Sansa as I type this: ----------------------- Album: Deerhunter - Cryptograms [...]
Young Love is playing everywhere, soon. Opening for them is Foreign Islands, who truth be told, might have been the bigger draw for me. Though both bands will no doubt excite the crowd. January 28th, Young Love and Foreign Islands will be at the Middle East in Cambridge. It's 18 plus and tix are only ten dollars. The Middle East rocks for affordable tix prices, being an awesome place to see shows, and because I have walked out of their too drunk to walk on many occasions, which is naturally associated with memories [...]
As the title says, its Friday so here are some remixes! But wait! What's this? . It appears the people over at Best Week Evar like us. Hey, if you are still reading this? When are you going to post that video of Shaun dressed up like MIA drunkingly trying to hit on a pug in a sweater that I sent you? Professor Murder - Free Stress Test (Harkin & Wolf Remix) Its a catchy little "its Friday so lets get bouncy" track so I figured I'd start [...]
Young Love - Standing In The Way of Control
Oh damn - forgive me, but I don't know how this one slipped by us. I love me some Young Love , and I love me some Gossip. So Young Love covering The Gossip should be a good thing? Wrong. I really really wanted to love Young Love's cover of "Standing In The Way Of Control", but after a first listen I'm just left with an awful feeling... like the same feeling I get when I watch the Lawrence Welk show. I imagine a lot of polyester and bad hair. Dan Keye's voice just [...]
Bowery 2/28: Young Love + Moros Eros - $13 3/5: Under Byen + Frida Hyvonen - $13 Mercury 2/7: Alexi Murdoch - $12 Webster 3/31: Sebadoh + The Bent Mustache - $20 MP3 : Young Love - Discotech (Lindburg Palace remix)
Hmmph. As if you didn't see THIS coming. I still don't understand the hate for Young Love. Is it because he's currently on tour with Good Charlotte? Maybe. But he sounds absolutely nothing like Good Charlotte. It's kinda Panic!-at-the-Discoesque, but it's really, really faint. I don't really get it. What I do get is that this was the best electro/pop/dance/rock song of the year. It's 3:54 of fun, dancey music that grabs you, shakes you up, and gets into [...]
HTML is totally standing in the way of my control of this website. Tables not lining up, not loading properly in IE, mangled style sheets... I'm seriously about to get into a fist fight with my computer. If HTML was here right now I'd kick him in the hyper nuts. Anyways, I get closer & closer to being done re-vamping the site. Here's three versions of The Gossip's 'Standing In The Way Of Control'. Get on it. [...]
YOUNG LOVE - DISCOTECH "Let's get down, we've been waiting a long time" I believe this may be the sound of emo (or in this case, post-punk - isn't it all a bit confusing?) finally succumbing to disco. The force behind Young Love, Dan Keyes, was formerly a member of rock band Recover, and has just now apparently discovered his love for music that makes you dance. [...]
I posted a Young Love song a while back on one of my f*ck it, it's friday lazy posts and a number of people emailed me about it. Here's another song off the upcoming album. His tour with Lady Sov stops by the Bay Area on Tuesday night at The Mezzanine. I'll see you there. ::: Young Love - Discotech ::: Young Love - Find A New Way There's also a remix of [...]
I am unashamed to post one of these songs. You can guess which one. Young Love - Discotech (Lindburgh Palace Remix) : Lindburgh Palace usually does some good work - and this is no exception. While their work is rather generic, it's still really good. And you know how much I love the original work - it's a top 10 song of the year (hint, hint) - and this song does the original justice. Nice. Pink - U + Ur [...]
It's Friday, which means here's some music for your weekend. Enjoy. (The Young Love track is damn catchy, check it out.) ::: Klaxons - Gravity's Rainbow (Van She Remix) ::: Teddybears - Yours To Keeps (feat. Annie) ::: The Teenagers - Homecoming ::: Hot Chip - And I Was a Boy From School ::: Young Love - Find A New Way ::: Spank Rock - Sweet [...]
