It's Monday night which means I should be picking out what I'm gonna wear to work tomorrow, but more importanly what I'm going to wear this weekend. But before I do that, I have to figure out where the hell I'm going. Friday, Oakland's elctro/Pop darlings The Lovemakers are playing the Blank club with Thriving Ivory & Luxxury. I haven't seen the Lovemakers live since Their NYE show with She
Not only hockey players & bad beer comes from Canada. Here's some good shit to listen to from now defunct bands made up of our brothers & sisters to the north. The Sick Lisptick - Thighmaster, I'm Your Master The Red Light Sting - Congratulations Mr. Crocodile, You're Pregnant Death From Above 1979 - Black History Month (Alan Braxe and Fred Falke remix)
I've heard them refered to as "She Wants Joy Division" & "Outerpol" & other similar nicknames. Whatever you want to call this SoCal based duo, their self titled debut album is undeniably good & their live show ain't to bad either. Let's just hope their follow up album will be just as impressive. Here are two song from their demo. She Wants Revenge - Tear you Apart She Wants Revenge - These
Metronomy is the musical moniker of Joseph Mount who is a producer from Brighton. Lately he's been the man responsible for some really excellent big name remixes like The Gorillaz 'El Manana' remix posted on The Yellow Stereo & Dead Disco's 'The Treatment' remix posted over at Good Weather For Airstikes. Here's a couple of fun tracks of his own. They don't really sound like his remix work.
I dont really know too much about about Klanguage except that they are from France & they are good. You can stream songs from Rise Recording's website. Add them on myspace. Klanguage - Priceless Things (Tacteel Remix) [Reccomended] Klanguage - Secret Lies
No, not the kind of freestyle you do when you're in the shower. Or the kind you hear the urban white kids spittin' to each other at bus stops. No. I'm talking about the freestyle that you used to try to breakdance to on a piece of cardboard on the side of your house after school got out until your dad came home and told you to knock that shit off before the neighbors think you're special.
The most hilarious track of the day has got to be Pase Rock's Lindsey Lohan's Revenge (feat Spankrock & Santi White). They basically say her vajayjay looks like a baby rat & to put that stench trench back in her pocket. She really should hide it away, or at least give it a spit shine before she takes it out on a stroll. Pase Rock - Lindsay Lohan's Revenge Via stereogum, gorilla vs bear &
I know these Klaxons tracks have been posted before, but I listen to these on the daily. I have to share these with anyone who might've missed them before. The first is a Crystal Castles remix & the second is Third Eye Mafia's rework which gets very early Prodisy-ish towards the end. The Klaxons - Atlantis to Interzone (Crystal Castles Remix) The Klaxons - Atlantis to Interzone (Third Eye
Michoacan is a producer from the Bay Area who has been making dance-tastic beats since 2002. He recently released the single 'She's Sent (Heaven)' on Tinysticks Records. The b-side has a remix by Emperor Machine who has remixed Daft Punk's 'Human After All' & Royksopp's 'What Else Is There'. Here's one of my favorite Michoacan tracks; Michoacan - 2 Bullets (Disaster) myspace
Everyone knows that Greg Gillis a.k.a. Girl Talk can throw down a mash ups that's so good it'll make you wanna slap your girlfriend, but not everyone knows that Eve Massacre has been doing that very thing for a few years now, except with a little bit more of a punky sorta edge. Check out this hilarious Mash Up which features Moldy Peaches, Chicks On speed, Bloodhound Gang, Goldene Zitronen &
The Valentinos are a new 'dance-rock/ disco-punk/ dance-attack/ whatever-new-psuedo-genre-floa ts-your-boat' band from down under. With production being done by Kim Moyes of The Presets you know the this shit is good. They are currently opening for Uffie on the Austrialia leg of her tour.

El-P's new album 'I'll Sleep When Your Dead' drops soon. I'm hoping it will be as legendary as Fantastic Damage. That album was on super duper mad repeat the summer of 2002. In my opinion F.D. was El-P's best work since Funcrusher Plus. Tracks from the new album were posted on My Old Kentucky Blog & So Much Silence. All this inter-talk of new El-P albums made me dig some old albums out of
Did Jaleel White (a.k.a. Steve Urkel) & Dave Coulier from Fullhouse give up making mediocre family television & combine forces to make some pretty awesome b-more, dancey/rap/rock fusion? No. It's just Spankrock. But you gotta admit, those fools kinda look like them other fools. Here's a remix of the single 'Bump' from their 2006 'Yoyoyoyo' album. They completely omit Jaleel-- I mean,
Crystal Castles has been on repeat in the itunes for about a month now. From the first time I heard Alice's shrill voice on 'Air War', I was smit. I know we're not in danger of the draft being instated, but if it were I wouldn't mind cuz I'd totally desert to Canada get my stalk on. New Rave, New grave? Crystal Castles don't care what you call them, just as long as you call them. Add them
