MP3 blog 2012/03/09

blog 2012/03/09 - this slips out and clacks along and finds its way.


Band Of Skulls - The Devil Takes Care of His Own:  Some totally appropriate barroom rocking, from the new album Sweet Sour

Breton - Sandpaper:  I guess it's fair to say Jamie Woon laid the groundwork for this overdriven superbright pop music.  Fron The Blanket Rule EP.

CFCF - Upon the Hill:  Bonus track from The River EP, brings me back to the good ol' Dirty Three days of instrumental glory.

Christoph Andersson - Capital:  All the pop goodness of Hot Chip with the funky house you've come to love.

Cloud Nothings - Fall In:  Another track from the new album Attack on Memory!   I'm really enjoying it, highly recommended.

Coltrane Motion - I Forgot There Was A War On:  I love his sweet saucey voice.  It's like Vampire Weekend, but with the less of the eye-stabby elements.

DakhaBrakha - Baby: what the i don't even huh?

Dirty Three - Ashen Snow:  The verdict is that I am sadly disappointed with Toward The Low Sun since I had such great hopes for it, but this is one of the few tracks that really jumped out at me.

DJ Nut Nut - Special Dedication (Sigma Remix):  94 ragga classic gets the dust-off and remix!  CLASSIC CHOON.  I had the original mixes of this back in the day, and oh that vinyl was worn worn worn.  One of the benefits of the remixing is that they often come with the original version on the flipside, so keeping that track alive with a new mastering and new pressing.

Miike Snow - Devil's Work (Keys N Krates Remix):  Suuuuuuch a hot remix!  And I love that they chop the classic Lucifer sample.

Rich Aucoin - The Little Creatures Know It, The Greatest Secret In the World:  CANADA BRINGS YOU THE EPIC POP ISH.  Wow, what a massive song this is.  Definitely check out the whole album  We're All Dying To Live because there are a number of delights on it.  Also be sure to check out the brilliant video for this track.  Mind you, I think its just titled "It".  Annoying/clever move on there part, they split this song in to three parts on the CD, making it have an insta-radio-edit version.  But even the video has the first part, so shouldn't the video be "The Little Creatures Know It"?  Anyways, awesomeness abound.  I edited all three parts together for yr listening pleasure.

Shigeto - Huron River Drive:  Remember discovering Tortoise?  That smoothed out electro jazz basement vibe?  This totally brings me back in to that space where druggy white kids discovered dub.

Skrillex - Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites (Phonat Remix):  The best skrillex remix EVER!   And probably the only Skrillex you'll see around there here parts.  Dump all that BRO shit, and extract the awesome fragments left over.   Nice.

Sleigh Bells - Comeback Kid
Sleigh Bells - End Of The Line
Sleigh Bells - You Lost Me:  The new album Reign Of Terror doesn't know if it wants to sound more like School Of Seven Bells or AC/DC.  Consequently, it is when they strike the notes of the former that they really make it work.

The Knocks - Brightside (The Sound of Arrows Remix)
The Knocks - Midnight City ft Mandy Lee (M83 cover):  Ecstatically bouncey pop house?  Sure, and add an M83 cover while you're at it!  EXPLOSION.  M83 is the new standard for any electropop group.  Get on it.,

Torch - Slow Down ft Meek Mill, Wale, Stalley & Triple C's:  And let's end off with some contemporary boombap goodness!
