Sorry I've been a bit quiet these past few days, I have been very very busy having as much masculine fun as possible (not what you think). I thought I'd put up a brilliant track from a new band DELOREAN , named after the car manufacturer, more specifically the DMC-12 car which is aesthetically awesome, but not so good on the road...except Doc Brown's suped-up beast of course...anyway, this is good, decent pop for a sunny day, not that that's very predictable these days though: [...]
G'day! Recently been listening to a lot of electro stuff recently, and caught a couple of new tracks and remixes! You're probably familiar with most of the artists mentioned but they're all pretty new and exciting... Finally a new track by THE COUNT & SINDEN , called "MEGA" . Hasn't really been anything official from this pair (The Count is also known as Hervé if you didn't already know) since "Beeper" , which I swear was re-released several [...]
Finally, the trailer for THE FANTASTIC MR. FOX has been released, and it's looking interesting for a kids film. It looks like one of those films you remember as a kid, perhaps it's James and the Giant Peach I'm thinking of (which was created by Henry Selick , who also directed A Nightmare Before Christmas and Coraline . But yes, this does look distinctly different, and I'm not [...]
This just in - new act signed to Sunday Best I've mentioned in other posts, LEMONADE , have an awesome new psychedelic music video , which you can watch below:
Some people really aren't into heavy-bass electro/minimal/dubstep-type stuff, and those people really are missing out. I was put off things like dubstep initially, as people told me to listen to Burial and Shackleton which I found a bit too chill, and quite boring dance music to be frank. And dance music isn't really meant to be chill, in my opinion - then it isn't really dance music anymore, it's just electronica. Sometimes it may work, but that's not what I'm [...]
What's the most disturbing music video you've ever seen? I can't really remember many, but I recently saw a video done for FLYING LOTUS (Warp Records) by Eric Wareheim (of Tim & Eric, Awesome Show! fame), and it's quite disturbing. So it got me thinking which other videos are disturbing. Apparently Wareheim is directing a similar video for Major Lazer ( Mad Decent) for their track "Pon De Floor" , [...]
Another cheeky thing to check out, if you like vinyl, and you like remixes, especially of the electronic/kuduro sort, then you might wanna check these limited edition 123s (400 to be precise) being put out by Portuguese label ENCHUFADA and British vinyl manufacturers THE VINYL FACTORY , each with unique artwork...the vinyl features remixes of DJ Znobia by Buraka Som Sistema , Baobinga & I.D. , and [...]
ANDREW W.K. He's a little like Marmite. You either love him (most people with a bit of sense), or you hate him ( Bitchfork? ), but you can't deny he is an all-round nice guy. He's the antidote to Morrissey. He's not pretentious, and he knows it. He just wants to have fun, and party. His music is as ridiculous as possible, which is echoed in the track I'm about to put up. The track is from the soundtrack to the AQUA TEEN HUNGER FORCE [...]
CONCRETE HERMIT are a collective of illustrators and graphic designers who produce collections of wares centred around the designs. I'm personally a big fan of IAN STEVENSON , who does very odd but childish illustrations. Anyway, they have been commissioned to produce T-shirts for TATE MODERN in London and the opening's on Friday at the TATE Riverside Cafe - I probably can't make this, but I'd recommend you try. Artists Ian Stevenson , Andrew Rae [...]
Oh yes, I forgot to post this awesome video of MOS DEF chatting about MF DOOM in an interview recently, where he bigs up the latter, saying, and I quote: "I'd bet a million dollars on DOOM against Lil Wayne" Mos certainly speaks a lot of truth here, as well as performs a few of his favourite [...]
HELLO GUYS! I decided I'm gonna try and update this thing whenever I can! So I will - here's some new music I've been listening to fairly recently... LOVVERS have been around for a while now. Along with all these new bands like Wavves and No Age and the like, they're keeping it lo-fi, heavy, scuzzy, and sometimes pretty catchy. I don't see that in Wavves [...]
Having heard a couple of the new BASEMENT JAXX tracks, one of them featuring Santigold , I tried looking for the one supposedly featuring Devonte Hynes aka LIGHTSPEED CHAMPION , previously of Test Icicles fame (I preferred them somewhat). I had no luck, as the track being passed around the blogs was clearly not his vocals, infact it sounded like Cee-Lo ( Outkast [...]
Have a look at this, it is VERY exciting:
