NO CHIT CHAT! ONLY MUSIC!
µ-Ziq - Ease Up: We're kicking things off with 2 blasts from the past! 2005's Ease Up was a classic for Paradinas, but he's always given us some jungley surprises of goodness over the years.
Bikini Kill - Reject All American: The classic from the album of the same title! Never go to a riot without it.
Congrorock - Babylon (Peodepitte ft Chronz) (RD Remix): R/D is back with another incredible remix! Not content with the mind-warping IDM stylee, he now mashes it up for this dancefloor killer.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. - Nothing But Our Love (Prussia Remix): Something so perfectly 1980s lounge about that synth. You could totally picture Phill Collins singing this after a PCP bender. Crooning to the jello mold. From the new album My Love Is Easy: Remixes Pt. 1.
Diamond Rings - All Yr Songs (GOBBLE GOBBLE's Wings for Eyeliner): I wanted oh so hard to love Diamond Rings, but it took the real saviour of Canadian music, Gobble Gobble, to highlight all the right parts with pink and yellow. From the remix collection GOBBL'd Volume 1 Tape.
Feed Me - Jodie (Radio Edit): I was thinking to myself... What is the perfect way to transition from the nightclub to a Trecartin themed artstar party where we pour paint and sauces all over ourselves and stutter around on the floor? Oh this'll do for now.
Gatekeeper - Storm Column: GATEKEEEEEPER! He used to do more generic dubstep stuff. It was solid, but not quite as unique. Now he's bakc with Giza, having watched one too many Italian horror films that he finally broke his brain and took his dubstep samples back and applied it to a dark cinematic electro framework.
Whether it's 21st century Goblin or the best video game music ever, it's all awesome.
Gregory and the Hawk - Boats and Birds (Protohype Remix): Cute and freezepoppish, and totally bouncey fun.
Raz Mesinai - Resurrections For Goatskin II: Resurrections For Goatskin cameout on Tzadik (*swoon*) back in 2003, but I am just discovering it now. Long recovered from his mediocre illbient days, Raz Mesinai has ended up as one of my favourite textural composers, mixing classic percussion with drones and other sounds.
The Decemberists - Dear Avery
The Decemberists - Don't Carry It All
The Decemberists - This Is Why We Fight: HURRAY! NEW DECEMBERISTS! The King Is Dead is a pretty fabulous album. Much more lowkey and straightforward than 2009's Hazards Of Love, many fans will applaud the return to form. I really loved Hazards, and was hoping this would continue that thread, but it's still an incredibley satisfying Decemberists album, twangy slide guitar and all. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
The Mynabirds - This Will Be Our Year (Zombies cover)
The Mynabirds - Ways of Looking
The Mynabirds - What We Gained in the Fire: The cover is of probably one of my favourite sentimental pop songs EVER. It's not on the album, but the other 2 tracks are indeed from the brand new "What We Lose in the Fire We Gain in the Flood", which is low key fabulous. A bit of rootsy folksy charm ala Be Good Tanyas or Sarah Harmer, or even some Cowboy Junkies vibes there, but it's tempered by some Neko Case style freshness and defintely deserves a good listen.
The New Pornographers - We End Up Together: From 2010's album Together, oh I do love the bombast. They are starting to remind me of that super sweet first Fiercy Furnaces album.
The Rolling Stones - Gimme Shelter (Zeds Dead Remix): Ha! Take that, zombie jagger!
Wye Oak - Civilian: After their 2010 EP rocked my socks off and then back on again, I am super hyped for their new album Civilian. The title single is leaked and sounds amazing.
