Neon Indian - Psychic Chasms

psychic chasms

Ok, so you’ve heard it, I’ve heard it; it’s been all over the blogosphere lately.  The hip thing for the past 3-6 months has been chillwave.  You know what I mean, hopefully: indie pop music of the more “laid-back” variety.   It was absolutely huge this summer, with its hazy undertones and minimalist grooves.  I hadn’t really been interested in a lot of it, mostly because the majority of that particular genre just tends to meander without much purpose or sense of melody.

M.A.U. = Portugese Goodness

LAB4

Just got a stellar new track from the fellas in M.A.U., otherwise known as Man and Unable. These gents are an electro-house duo from Portugal — unless they’re playing live, in which case they tack on another two members — and are yet another reason why the Southern Hemisphere is bringing the heat in terms of excellent dance music (see also X-Wife, the Twelves, and almost anything on Modular).

The Whip

thewhip

Ok, first off, the Whip is HIGHLY underrated.  Honestly, it shocks me that either no one gives enough props to this band, or they don’t seem to be getting the respect they deserve.  Yet another one of those bands that should be bigger than they actually are.  (But then again…

Passion Pit Remix Contest = Epic

picture-1

Passion Pit is having a pretty creative remix contest for “Little Secrets” a single from their upcoming, monstrous-hype-generating full-length, Manners . Basically, you take the snippets they provide and build a remix.  Then everyone votes and the top 5 get a spot on the vinyl, with the 5 runners-up getting the vinyl and an autographed CD of Manners. My roommate and good buddy “Amplifya“  is currently #2.  His remix is actually the best, in my COMPLETELY unbiased opinion (although the others are pretty good, too).  Take a listen, and if you like it, help him stay in the Continue reading Passion Pit Remix Contest = Epic…

Just A Band

Just A Band is a electro-house duo (Tom Deluxx & stellA) from Bordeaux, France. These guys really aren’t just another shitty Justice-wannabe.  I promise. Honestly, they make some of the most exciting house you’ve heard in a while.

Simian Mobile Disco Likes Lights

So I’m seeing Simian Mobile Disco tomorrow at Pure in Philadelphia. This is the same spot I saw Cut Copy at, and it was absolutely bat shit crazy. If you’re in the area, I highly suggest coming out. The light show kinda looks like this:

We Got To Move These Refrigerators - The

Fired

If You Must Know, Here’s Where I’ve Been For The Past 3 Weeks: 1. Visiting a friend in Macomb, IL: 2. Promoting the crap out of Buzznet’s first Big Story. It was about Twilight. You can find it here: THE BIG STORY: Twilight 3. And last but not least, which will also bring plenty of updates to the weapon in the coming weeks, I’ve also been busy getting fired. Oops I mean, uhh, “laid off”. Whatever. Aside from my excuses, here are 2 other things to note: 1. Obviously, I need help. If you like to write and like Continue reading We Got To Move These Refrigerators – The “Fuck A Job” Playlist…

Monday Mixtape #7 – Four Days Late

riddim

I’ve been so busy lately I barely have time to sleep – sorry for neglecting you once again. Things’ll get back on track when I get back from Chicago in November. For now, dig my super rad half joke but mostly serious reggae/ska/rocksteady/modern guilty pleasures of similar influence mixtape, full of tracks from the best Ska compilation EVER, that my friend gave me for Christmas when I was 12. I don’t remember what it was called. Anyway, sorry – this shoulda gone out on Monday, didn’t get made till Tuesday, and isn’t being posted till Thursday: 1. Bad Manners Continue reading Monday Mixtape #7 – Four Days Late…

Sunday Afternoon Mixtape #5

picture-4

So I totally failed at the My Bloody Valentine tracks because I completely forgot to get the mp3 recorder from the car before I left for the show – sorry. Hey did that show piss off anyone else? I was so irritated by the fact that all I could hear was snare drum and feedback at an unbelievably ridiculous volume, and I hate strobe lights so I almost barfed on the fat dude standing in front of me. That would’ve been a little funny. Confession: last night I saw Rancid, and it TOTALLY RULED. 1. Killing Joke – Love Continue reading Sunday Afternoon Mixtape #5…
