I've got to get focused! I had a blast in Oakland, and I recorded my sets there. I'm in the process of mastering them and getting them online. They will hopefully be up as limited edition special treats for the holidays.
My eyes are also on the calendar, with December fast approaching. I have been listening to the last few albums in my "omg must hear this" box and my declaration of favourite albums of 2010 is forming organically.
So while all this spins around in my mind, I want to drop another post of new goodness. Enjoy!
Autre Ne Veut - Two Days Of Rain: I listen to this and I think of a masculine Annie Lennox. Or a contemporary Human League. Epic 80s pop for the 21st century.
Belleruche - Anything You Want (Not That) (Hint Remix): Hint has been bopping out Mr. Scruff-esque downtempo bass music for years, and fit perfectly on top of the soulful Belleruche. Probably my favourite thing off the dope new Liberty EP.
Crystal Castles - Baptism (Punks Jump Up Remix): Punks Jump Up have always been one of my favourite remixes for giving something that raw indie rock flair that still pumps the dancefloor. Taken from the Baptism single, this is probably my favourite Crystal Castle remix of the year. And there's have been a number of good ones.
Deluka vs Mike Snow - OMFG Animal: Two fabulous pop songs that fuse really well. Mike Snow's piano riffs are some of the happiest out there.
Generationals - When They Fight They Fight: With all of the golly-gee-whiz goodness of a 60s radio pop group!
GR†LLGR†LL - sLOwDanciNg
GR†LLGR†LL - sOmethiNgiNtheway (cobain) ft DirtyPrid3
GR†LLGR†LL - Utta: Witch House is the stupidest genre name since Intelligent Dance Music came around. It's neither witchy nor housey. Discuss. But if anyone asked for an example of witch house, I think GR†LLGR†LL would be the perfect example. From the self-titled album, it's a fabulous trip through sluggy sample work, DJ Screwisms, lofi breaks. DHR for the next generation, in the best and worst ways possible.
Jesse Rose - Well Now: Oh come on, admit it, this makes you smile.
Kanye West - All Of The Lights
Kanye West - Lost In The World ft Bon Iver: Well, it's here. My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is out and you'll probably be hearing about it ad nauseaum for the next few months. Most people are gaga for it. I think it has 4 fabulous songs, really. Skip to the winner: POWER, All Of The Lights, Lost In The World, and Monster.
Bon Iver and Nicki Minaj for the win. Seriously.
Lulu Rouge - Bless You (Mike Sheridan Pris Dig Lyk'lig mix): Back in 2008, Bless You got an army of remixes. I must have missed this one, because I love it's stripped done minimal world.
Max Tundra - Which Song (Silverlink Remix): Speaking of discovering older remixes, here's a take on pretty much the best pop song in the world. Which Song is the crowl jewel in Max Tundra cepter. Those funky keyboard lines! The heartfelt love musings of a touring musician!
Murcof - Memoria (Sutekh's Trisagion Mix): And more with discovering old remixes! The Utopia Remixes seldom really improved on the original Murcof genius, but this is a really functional rework that should hopefully ensure you will all PLAY MORE FUCKING MURCOF. Seriously, people. At least once per set.
Robyn - In My Eyes
Robyn - We Dance to the Beat: After 2 amazing EPs of the same name, Body Talk is out! It collects most of the songs from the EPs and adds a few more. Oh music marketing in the 21st century! you are so wacky.
Saycet - Daddy Walks Under the Snow
Saycet - Easy: I had only recently discovered their fabulous 2006 album, and now new for 2010 they give us the absolutely gorgeous Through the Window. If you were ever a fan of lush IDM in the late 90s, you know the joyous place this music is coming from. Highly recommended, but pretty much essential for fans of Isan and the first 15 Morr Music releases.
