MP3 blog 2013/11/26

blog 2013/11/26 - the last chance to prove them wrong


going to keep it all running:  http://thetastates.com/mp3s/blog/blog20131126.zip


Arcade Fire - Here Comes The Night Time
Arcade Fire - Normal Person:  It's kind of done.  This will be best album of the year and at least be in everyone's top 5.  Sneer as much as you want, you can't deny it.  Reflektor is golden.  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

A-Trak - Disco Nap ft Oliver (Q-Bert's RocketCockPet Mix):  Quack it all up on the dance floor, Q-Bert's humour still shines after what, 2 decades?  Love it.

Bambu - Upset The Setup ft Killer Mike:  Great little track from ...one rifle per family.

Bon Iver - Towers (I, Aeronaut Remix):  aaaaand always with the sleepytown Bon Iver remixes!

Brother Ali - Letter To My Countrymen:  I wasn't feeling a lot of Mourning in America and Dreaming in Color, but this somber track really flows well and is quite poignant.

CFCF - Gamelan 1:  Like Four Tet, but much more snuggly.

Clams Casino - Crystals:  Getting witchy on shit shit.

Ellie Goulding - Hanging On (Illo Bootleg):  Illo gets the goods.

Flume - Insane (Fishing Remix):  Great electro bass beat with a perfect flow on top.

Giraffage - Close 2 Me
Giraffage - Feels:  What's with the trend of taking some dope chill bass and slowing the BPM at the end?  Hmmmm?

Gregory Alan Isakov - Amsterdam:  And now we break for some soaring adult-contemporary folk.  Get your scarves out.

Jasper TX - A New Language:  An Index Of Failure gives up the goods mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmrrrrrrrrroooooooooooo

Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds - We No Who U R
Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds - Wide Lovely Eyes:  Not time was spent with Push The Sky Away, but these two takeaways stayed along for my ride.

No Joy - Hare Tarot Lies
No Joy - Lunar Phobia:  This is dream pop that gives me shivers and lusts.

Wet - Dreams:  So many feelings, OK?

MP3 blog 2013/11/12

blog 2013/11/12 - again again again


Nothing is as easy as right now:  http://thetastates.com/mp3s/blog/blog20131112.zip


AU - OJ:  OK just one more.  Another track from the highly recommended album Both Lights.

Björk - Sacrifice (Death Grips Remix):  The funny thing is that I already took my Death Grips dolls and made them make out with my Bjork doll, which now seems kind of prophetic.

Chance The Rapper - Everybody's Something ft Saba & BJ The Chicago Kid:  Total chillout good vibes track from the almost-perfect Acid Rap LP.

Death Coast - Crying:  Mulholland Drive, slowed down x 10000%!!!!

Four Tet - Unicorn:  Stunning little fiary twinkles from Beautiful Rewind.

Grimes - Vanessa (Nico Pusch Bootleg Remix):  Grimes was always meant to be some dancefloor funk chiller.

Grouper - Vital:  While I can't say The Man Who Died In His Boat is essential listening, has any Grouper album ever been that mush-have?  Still, a few really lovely tracks in the bunch, and when you spend time with the ones you love, you fall for them comletely.

Guilty Simpson - Ode to the Ghetto (Machinedrum Remix):  Any time machinedrum gets back to a straight up hiphop beat I am so all over it.

Justin Timberlake - Drink You Away:  The epic grandeur that is The 20/20 Experience has 2 peaks for me, and this is the other one.  JT does exactly what needs to be done.

Kendrick Lamar - M.A.A.D. City (Eprom Remix)
Kendrick Lamar ft Dr. Dre - The Recipe (Trapback Remix):  Fuuuuuuk yes, Kendrick rocks so perfectly as chiptune trapcore.  The kids are all right.

Le1f - Pocahontas ft Kitty Pryde:  Oh hai, speaking of making my dolls make out with each other as a form of prophetic divination.

Lido Pimienta - Humano (Self Evident Remix):  The beat alone is seductive but oh when those vocals slip in there you know you've found something good.

Machinedrum - Gunshotta:  This just spills out everywhere and yes that's ok.

Rae Spoon - I Will Always Love You (Dolly Parton cover):  Yes, I totally imagine them singing this to Burt Reynolds.  As is only appropriate.

Shlohmo - Don't Say No ft How To Dress Well:  DID I MENTION I HAVE MAGICAL DOLLS OF MY FAVOURITE ARTISTS AND I MAKE THEM KISS?

Son Lux - Easy:  A perfect little nugget from Lanterns.

The Second Hand Marching Band - We Will Convince You:  First single from the upcoming album A Hurricane, A Thunderstorm and it's a total party.

MP3 blog 2013/11/05

blog 2013/11/05 - better still we turn it off to not burn out the night

HOLY SHIT YOU GUYS, ROB FORD…  http://thetastates.com/mp3s/blog/blog20131105.zip


B.T. Express - Everything Good To You (Jim Sharp Northern Touch Edit):  Always love these funk edits.

Calexico - Algiers:  My favourite track from last year's album Algiers, this is total spaghetti-Western soundtrack music.

Captain Murphy - Gloe:  Storming bass upfront take notice.

Danny Byrd - New Day ft Xavier:  Byrd gets some funky bounce all up in here.

Decades - Tonight Again:  Oh god I love the emotional devastation in his tearing voice.

Dfrnt - El Spirito:  The vocals sound like Kate Bush, and I'm not sure they are, but it still gets me wet.

Kenny Graham And His Satellites - Sunday:  We've had our spaghetti western, now let's get some film noir hardboiled detective scenes all up in this place.

Kool A.D. - Future Primitive Culinary School ft Chippy Nonstop
Kool A.D. - Jenny Holzer ft Chippy Nonstop
Kool A.D. - Question Jam Answer ft Busdriver & Beans:  Selections from the free "63" mixtape, I love the Chippy Nonstop bits in here, and word up to Holzer!

Maximilian Hecker - Help Me:  Oh I love the organ sustain sitting contently in the back just there.

Miley Cyrus vs Sinead O'Connor - Nothing Compares To Wrecking Ball:  While I am not sure I will ever listen to this again, I am so glad that it's out there.  Stop the slut-shaming and make nice!

O for Odetta - Traffic:  Smooth downtempo from the ol' Rubber Beats 2 copilation. Love the flutter above the strings.

Odesza - If There's Time
Odesza - My Friends Never Die
Odesza - Without You:  Stunning beats from the new releases My Friends Never Die. Highly recommended.

Pearl Jam - Infallible:  OK yes this almost here as a joke but ummmmm I kind of actually like this new song from Lightning Bolt.

Phosphorescent - Can I Sleep In Your Arms (Willie Nelson cover):  Oh yes! #hnnngg

Radiohead - The Daily Mail:  This is a little single that snuck out a few years back and I really love it so much.

Statskcartsa - April 21st (Greg Haines' Reprise Remix):  Leave you on a whisp of drone.  Nighty night!
