MP3 bog 2013/01/30

blog 2013/01/30 - we are hopeful, we are patient, we are scared


Above & Beyond - Small Moments Like These:  21st century Vangelis revolution.  Get running.

Alkalino - Memoria:  Is this a guilty pleasure?  A sublime tribute?  Or just the greatest dose of Nirvana you'll ever hear?

Altered Tensions - Force Of Gravity (Too Much Time In Front Of A Computer Remix):  Blustery and sexy and enthralling IDM pleasures, from The Answer To The Question You Forgot To Ask

Anamanaguchi - Meow:  MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW!

Bar-Kays - Too Hot To Stop (D.veloped Remix):  We've moved in to a new realm of mashing here, where it just becomes sample drenched goodness.

Bomb The Music Industry! - Jobs Schmobs: 

Caspar - Put A Lid On It:  Squirrel Nut Zippers never sounded so good.

Dan Deacon - Lots:  I’m not the world's biggest Dan Deacon fan, but this track off new album America has JUST ENOUGH zip and/or pep.

Eric Harvey - Tried & True:  At first it's a normal cancon-ish folk song, but oh the female harmonies come in and then it is a classic.

Memotone - Low Light
Memotone - Rooftop:  The new Memotone album "I Sleep. At Waking" strides the not-so-great divide between IDM and lush modern ambient sound art pieces.  Admit it, you have them all in the same folder at this point, don't you?  DON'T YOU?  Well make some room because this one is a keeper as well.

Mykki Blanco - HazeBoogie:  Blanco Blanco Blanco all over this shit.

She & The Sun - Bad Lover:  Mellowed out pop folk from the self-titled album.

The 1975 - Sex (Liar Remix):  Another remix of this great track, but now all sludged out.

The Allergies - Pick-Up Lines:  This takes mashups to a new level of ingenuity.  It is a great example of constructed narrative that can be achieved.  See also:  THE NEXT SONG.

The Monkees - Mary Mary (Jim Sharp DMC Edit):  Such a smart mix, letting The Monkees pop siren song blast on through the DMC breakbeats.

Urbantramper - Kate Bush Saved My Life (GodWolf Remix):  Kate Bush saved us all, you just might not have realized it yet.

XXYYXX - Amaze Me:  Yes, you are definitely amazing, you glorious chromosonal chimera you.

Yahtzel - Beached:  Big chunky downtown spelunking bass right here.

Yo La Tengo - Cornelia And Jane:  Bliss rock from the new album Fade.

Chairlift - I Belong In Your Arms:  Ridiculous 80s-inspired pop from the new album Something.

Daughter - Youth:  Rambunctious and emotional and a flurry of the insides outward.  From The Wild Youth EP.

Death Ledger - Untrue:  Grinding breakeat that is Death Grips meets chillbass.

Debo Band - Asha Gedawo:  I have no idea what is going on here but oh I love it.

Disko-ions - Marram Rest:  Pretty darn minimal, but something about the snappy sounds in it sounds like it could be the next epic training montage go-to track.

DJ Grotesque - Nowhere To Hide From Willie (2012 Version):  Oh fuck yes, RAWWRRR here come the gravediggaz!

GravelRoad & T-Model Ford - Little Red Rooster:  Before you ask, yes, this is contemporary.  From the 2011 album Taledragger.

Hurray For The Riff Raff - My Sweet Lord (George Harrison cover):  Ahhh Harrison…

Killer Mike - Reagan:  Another great track from the new album  R.A.P. Music.

Kontent - Elevate:  Breathey electro pants.

Los Rakas - Bien Ribetiao:  Sweeet bass from the El Flow Californiano mixtape.

Raekwon - Who Shot Ya Freestyle:  Hard to deny Rae's still got it going hot, after all these years.  From the new one, Who Shot Ya.

Serengeti - Shazam:  This is some cartoon flow shit that just works through its own internal logic just right.

Skeewiff & The Soul Stirrers - I Want To Rest:  Sweet zombie jesus, oh my!

Alt-J - Tessalate:  Withering folk for the new era.

Andy Stott - Hatch the Plan
Andy Stott - Up The Box:  Stott releases some subtle magic on his new album Luxury Problem.  The unceasing darkness of his 2011 material gives way to a vibe that is still dark, but much more enticing.

Bombdroppers - Night Beat (Skeewiff Remix):  Jazz breaks abound in this phrenetic ball o funk.

Captain Murphy - The Killing Joke:  Spoiler alert:  It's just more Flying Lotus, but oh hey, it's MORE FLYING LOTUS.

CHVRCHES - The Mother We Share:  2013 is off to a kickin' start with some incredible electro pop that makes me soar.

Disclosure - Tenderly:  Can it still be considered deep when so frenetic?

Giyo - Summer Breeze (Set Sail):  Total downtempo smoothness.

Glass Kites - Soothsayer:  There's such a gloriousness to the retro sound of this.  I don't know why, but it's like a blockbuster from the 90s.

Hardplay - Requiem For A Dream (Trap Fix):  Yes, you know you needed this ball of evil.

Heems - Cowabunga Gnarly:  Yeah so Das Racist is dead, love live Heems holy shit.

Jessie Ware - Still Love Me:  Oh so sexy and perfect.  It's the just-enough beat.

Johnny Boy - You Are The Generation That Bought More Shoes and You'll Get What You Deserve:  I think this is the most timely and perfect song ever.

Photay - I Don't Live Near The Ocean ft Kwajbasket:  Flittering whisps of compressed beats and pulsing guitars make a happy Caitlyn.

Romi Graham - SexyBack:  I'm oh so happy that I found this.  And that the they do the entire.  Song.

S3 (Miles Bonny & Brenk Sinatra) - Don't Stop:  Just enough soul to roll.

The Antlers - Drift Dive:  Choice Antlers from the new Undersea EP.

MP3 blog 2013/01/11

blog 2013/01/11 - somehwat nameless, somewhat endless

And we are back to our regularly scheduled awesomeness!
Big thanks to M.S. who sent me an amazing Sol Lewitt book:  http://www.amazon.com/Sol-LeWitt-Views-Susan-Cross/dp/0300152825


Dark Horses - Road To Nowhere:  Sweet vocal layers of mellowtown pop blissout from the new album Black Music.

Death Grips - KLINK (42ghosts Remix):  The #1 priority on a DG remix is to give it some freaking SPACE.  Allow that shit to breathe and let us DJs get all up init.

Dinosaur Jr. - Don't Pretend You Didn't Know: 
Dinosaur Jr. - See It On Your Side

Do Make Say Think - Greed Waltz:  The glorious sway of the surf guitar and horns is pure coastal bliss.

Ellie Goulding - Only You (Dopeshoes Dancehall Remix):  Goulding remixes OH SO WELL and this is another perfect example.

Iyes - Lighthouse:  A taste of the XX sounds here, but ain't nothing wrong with that.

Jenn Grant - I Want You Back:  From The Beautiful Wild, Jenn Grant is the pinnacle of that CBC sound.

Jessika Kenney & Eyvind Kang - Tavaf:  I immediate go for anything with Kang on it, and the new album The Face of the Earth is an incredible notch in his discography.  Highly recommended.

Kendrick Lamar - Swimming Pools (Drank) (Bird Peterson Remix):  The top single from Lamar's debut, given an extra oomph BP.

Mann - Bend Ya ft Kendrick Lamar & Frank Ocean:  How do you end up with the #1 and #2 artists of 2012 on your track???

Mykki Blanco - Wavvy:  Blanco Blanco Blanco = hotnesssss

The 1975 - Sex (Ryan Hemsworth Remix):  Hemsworth sasses up the most overwrought pop lamentations and makes it more epic than 80s U2.

Tinashe - The Last Night On Earth (Giraffage Remix):  Remember what I was on all about with Hemsworth?  Yeah well Giraffage brings the goods too, but now with even more popbounce sweetness.

Tori Amos - Jackie's Strength (Gold Dust version)
Tori Amos - Precious Things (Gold Dust version)
Tori Amos - Silent All These Years (Gold Dust version):  TORI AMOS!  Remember her?  Remember those days in grade 10 spent weeping deeply in the corner of your school with Little Earthquakes on repeat??? DO YOU REMEMBER???  Like most people, I drifted away from Tori when she released a music video with a face CGI implanted on to a foot.  She's done stuff since then apparently, including a pretty decent album for Deutsche Grammaphone.  Following in the footsteps of Antony Hegarty, she releases an album of classics with an orchestral backing.  I'm not too critical about the newer material I don't know, but oh oh oh oh the classics, they swell!  The production is impeccable.
