While Animal City have been jamming around Chicago for years, it's still a difficult task to really categorize their sound. At the band's foundation is ramshackle, mid-902s indie rock. But beyond that, Animal City write more from feeling than trying to live up to some arbitrary sound classification. From the silly "Mouseface" that's slathered in warm Pavement-like riffs to the bouncy, tropical rock of "Yr shoelaces," which also appears on the last installment of Chicago Mixtape , Animal City are, as I've preached before , whatever you want them to be.

Life Partner is a track from the collaboration of Knoxville producer/dj Teams and Manchester’s Star Slinger released by Mexican Summer. Here’s a description from Mexican Summer : Online collaborations between producers Star Slinger (repping the UK for Manchester) and Teams (standing up for America from Knoxville, Tennessee) reward the fruits of online labor: six blog-rockin’, booty-shakin’ rippers, culled from vinyl-sourced samples of R&B and modern soul classics and reworked, twerked, and shimmied into the matrix of hip hop rhythms, sunshine, and classy, electro-clipped states of mind. The work of these two individuals permeates the [...]

Life Partners have been kicking around Boston for awhile now, releasing what is now an impressive six albums with their latest Music is Hard . Their previous LP, Men Are Talking , got some praise on these pages a year or so ago with its unabashed bar rock/70’s riffage combined with the bands usual hard line wit. At that time I also professed my love for their sprawling ballad “Planet of the AIDS”, to which I am still waiting for a chance to bust out [...]

I have pretty much been waiting for this mix since I heard the OG. I even gave it a shot myself. Problem is I really have no idea how to make juke music and I got super frustrated after about 8 minutes. Thank you LIfeparnter. Yankin (lifepartner's footworky edit) by lifepartner

There's a sharp-looking new hotel in Las Vegas called the Cosmopolitan . In the television commercial that's been airing for the past couple of months we witness lots of attractive people, expensive furniture and kittens. The rooms look modern, the scenes follow suit. What I don't get is that BRMC song blasting away like they're supposed to be driving on Sunset Blvd. in a convertible corvette. That song is great on it's own, but not in this context. This Teams vs. Star Slinger collaboration entitled "Life Partner" is exactly [...]

Teams vs. Star Slinger — Life Partner Two great tastes that taste great together. The glittery, funk-sampling “Life Partner” is from ‘ Teams vs. Star Slinger ’, which is out now on Mexican Summer . If you’re a fan of either party, I suggest you give it a spin.

Everyone needs to come see Royal Bangs tomorrow night at Skull Alley. If you don't, they'll beat you up. Or at least I imagine they will, since they like to fight. The Bangs will be sharing the stage with I Need Sleep , Straight A's and Life Partner , but I don't know if any of them like to fight. So miss them at your own risk. Royal Bangs - Handcuff Killa [...]
