Fireplays from Jon Thomas on Vimeo . The video above is from artist Jon Thomas . Entitled Fireplays , the video was made using a bevy of fireworks and a Nikon D300. It's like those Sprint commercials from 2007 except cooler and more dangerous. The song below was made by Mr. Vega and features the vocal stylings of Jamie Righetti from the band Firekrotch . It's like a Rihanna song from 2008, except cooler and more dangerous. Mr. Vega - Dreamin' With [...]
So that's what happened! I was wondering why Num Num has just been lying in the same spot for three weeks. Canadian producers AutoErotique , or as I call them "the artists formerly known as VND/LSM", apparently released their dance floor banger, Gladiator , onto the internet nearly three months ago. If you missed it then, please download it now. Some of you might remember their name being attached to one of the best Little Bit remixes around. If not, you have some catching up the do sirs and ma'ams. Start your [...]
Spanish DJ collective Buffetlibre unleashed their massive new project Rewind 2 onto the internet today. The project consists of 70 songs from the 70s , 80s and 90s reimagined by some of today's best underground/blog artists. Go here to download the whole thing. A few of my favorites are below. Starfucker - Girls Just Wanna Have Fun (Cindy Lauper Cover) [ YSI ] Diamond Cut - Teardrops (Woman & Womack Cover) [ YSI ] The Old Believers - Naive Melody (Talking Heads Cover) [ YSI ] Heads We [...]

So I take a seven day break from the internet, next thing I know, SSDT is on top of the "Hottest Blogs" list on Hype Machine. I guess you people like me better when I'm not talking. RUDE! Anyway, as you already know the Blogosphere has been deviod of new music the past few weeks due to the "winter holiday" season (SSDT does not discriminate), so to past the time I've spent the past week reading from these things called "books". To get ready for the movie's release in March, I reread The Watchmen [...]

The video for the new Peter, Bjorn & John song, Hey (Shut The Fuck Up Boy) , hit the internet early last week and everyone was immediately creeped out by the rhythmless, masked dancers. I think the paper eyes are the most abnormal aspect of the video. If eyes are the windows to your soul, then those motionless eyes are one sided windows, attached to paper cut-out masks, worn by horrible dancers. But enough about the awesome(?) video, the real reason I doing this post is the even awesomer hook. PB & J, always masters of crafting [...]
Fifth and final installment of Kendall's Favorite Song's of 2008. I'm glad it's over, now I can get back to my regular twice a month post schedule. Dance The Bloody Beetroots – Rombo The Bloody Beetroots – Butter Justice – Planisphere Parts 1 through 4 The Golden Filter – Solid Gold The Phantom’s Revenge – Moondancer Surkin – Chrome Knight ft. Dave 1 A-Trak – Say Whoa BURNS – Make Love Beni – My Love Sees You [...]
This Kendall’s Favorite Songs of 2008 thing is starting to get old if I can say so myself (I can). Today we have my favorite “Indie Rock” songs of 2008. Basically I classified any group that uses a guitar as “Indie Rock”. That’s the way they taught us to label things at The School for Unimaginative People Who Can’t Think of Descriptive Words Good. Dance The Bloody Beetroots – Rombo The Bloody Beetroots – Butter Justice – Planisphere Parts 1 through 4 [...]
Ugh! I’m trying not to get another one of my Favorite Songs of 2008 posts stricken down by the nefarious DMCA, so I have begun to speak in code. Discodust found out that whenever a certain artist’s tracks were upped on the interwebs, the associated post is almost always deleted by the DMCA Bandits. The machines have taken over, we have been forced underground. So don’t be confused by that certain artist’s name, I’m sure you can figure it out. On the post taken down yesterday, I lamented the fact that I forgot to include [...]
The fucking DMCA Bandits took down my Favorite Songs of 2008: Part 2 post in one day. In less than 24 hours actually. When I set out making my list, I figured this would happen. They have taken down four or five of my posts since October. That's why I broke it up into five parts, so I wouldn't lose massive 50 song post. There is not much I can say or do other than pack up and move to Wordpress like everyone else. Really I think Mr. Lawrence says it best in the video above, "Shit just got real."

Day two of my favorite 50 songs unveiling and, after reading the Pitchfork writers’ individual top 25 songs lists , I’m beginning to have some concerns about my list. I knew I would forget some stuff but Blind by Hercules & Love Affair?!? Jeez. Everyone’s Got To Make a Living by Dances With White Girls? The whole Crystal Castles album?!?! I’m embarrassed about these glaring omissions but I’m pleased with how spot on my Hip Hop picks are considering I only listen to hip hop 20% of the time. Put On , The [...]
SSDT: Come for the music, stay for the pictures of Samuel L. Jackson's floating head. Two weeks ago, I wasn’t planning on making any end of the year lists. Why? Because I don’t listen to full albums often, I have the memory of a 72 year old stroke victim, and the whole process of choosing the better song out of two equally good songs and then choosing the BEST song out of a larger list of better songs is too daunting. Plus I’m lazy. But then my friends over at We [...]
I admit to being a closeted Maroon 5 fan. Well a closeted It Won’t Be Soon Before Long fan, I will admit Songs About Jane was a baseball-sized wad of bubble gum pop. But I find it hard to believe that one, without prior knowledge (and preconceived disgust) of Maroon 5, could not fall in love with the electro-funk-R&B amalgamation Mr. Levine and his band present on their sophomore album. The funk presented on Makes Me Wonder will not be denied. You will snap your fingers. You will sing. You will pop [...]
New discocentric Far Away remix from The Golden Filter . Here Comes A New Challenger! Oh shit! It’s a funk battle. Who is more disco?! The Golden Filter remix or the Hercules & Love Affair remix? I don’t know which song will win this disco remix battle but no matter which artist wins you know who really wins? That’s right Denzel Washington. Wait a minute, I mean, we all win. Cut Copy – [...]
When I saw that Discobelle and IHEARTCOMIX received the new EP #4 from Meterhead yesterday I was downtrodden to say the least. I mean, I’ve been down with Meterhead from the get go , where was my EP I thought. Well, apparently their email was simply lost in the shuffle, I received the EP today. You know how this email thing works, sometimes the emailman loses a package or two, takes the wrong exit on the information superhighway, stops by a couple of porn sites. No biggie…..which is a brilliant segue to talk [...]
I admit to being late to the Donovan party but now that I’m here, I’m staying late and I’m smuggling all the left over beer home in my pants. The French duo comprised of David Said and Nicolas Nekmouche joins their countrymen in the battle for dance music supremacy known as the French-Australian Electro War. Donovan’s impressive collection of remixes will make a superb addition to France ’s already formidable salvo. Donovan’s electro/hip hop treatment to the. A good example of their style is the Kilometer remix. Donovan transformation of Kilometer sounds reminiscent [...]
CORNELIUS from Theo Stefanini on Vimeo . The video for the new Bloody Beetroots song Cornelius was everywhere today but I don't care, I'M POSTING IT ANYWAY! Cornelius comes out December 18th. And if I have to tell you who The Bloody Beetroots are, GET THE F OUT OF MY BLOG!!!!* * Sorry for all the e-yelling. I was raging as I typed this post.
