MP3 blog 2014/07/29

blog 2014/07/29 - we're done with this mess, this mess is now yours.

Who wants to fight for this dissatisfaction:  http://thetastates.com/mp3s/blog/blog20140729.zip


Anna Meredith - ALR
Anna Meredith - Unicron:  Meredith is a fricking electronics wizard and her records make me super giddy.  These gems are from the highly recommended Jet Black Raider EP and she will make your head spin too.

DAM - Mali Huriye (I Don't Have Freedom)
DAM - Warde
DAM
- Ya Sayidati:  Palestinian rappers DAM have some great flows and you should check out their videos out youtube.

Death Cab For Cutie - 405 (Acoustic)
Death Cab For Cutie - Technicolor Girls:  So yeah I have been going back and digging in to the old Death Cab catalogue.  These 2 are from the Forbidden Love EP.

Gavin Friday and Shannon McNally - Tom's Gone to Hilo:  Another little track from the bafflingly existing "Son of Rogues Gallery: Pirate Ballads, Sea Songs & Chanteys" compilation.

Gowns - Heaven
Gowns - Marked:  Continuing my love affair with EMA, going back to her old band Gowns and Broken Bones is FUCKING AMAZING OMG.  That viola on Heaven gives me the ecstatics.  And an earlier version of Marked?  Oh shudder.

Katamari Damacy vs Death Grips - Tachyon (Team Teamwork mashup)
Katamari Damacy vs DMX - X Gon' Give It to Ya (Team Teamwork mashup):  OK this is more just a fabulous idea than a perfect execution, but hell with it, here we are:  Katamari Damacy soundtrack gets some rework.

Punch Brothers - Dark Days:  Lovely little bit of country folk from The Hunger Games: Songs From District 12 & Beyond.  Yeah yeah yeah, I know…

Somatic Responses - Fear Chamber:  Literally the one shining light for me on Puny God.

Teeburr - Do It For The Vine:  FINALLY, a song that captures the zeitgeist of 2013!

Todd Edwards - Hold The Faith:  Todd Edwards is an always yes.  So funky.  So groovey.  Always.

Waxfactor - Reggaenomics (Luna Landa Mix):  Kick it down with some hot breakts!

MP3 blog 2014/07/22

blog 2014/07/22 - they see we're upset and what of it?

Chances are we will take it any more:  http://thetastates.com/mp3s/blog/blog20140722.zip


C/\TN/\PS - Crush On U
C/\TN/\PS - Last Night
C/\TN/\PS - Txt Me Goodnite:  That is "C/\TN/\PS", and they are awsome.  Their "The Feels" mixtape form last year is rocking my world in a big way.  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Christian Löffler - Notes
Christian Löffler - Roman
Christian Löffler - Young Alaska:  Some of the most beautiful and textured electronic music.  Minimal, deep, housey, complex.  If you like Four Tet, this stuff blows most of that stuff out of the water.  Young Alaska is a gem.  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Gowns - Cherylee
Gowns - White Like Heaven:  I am soooo in love with the two EMA albums, and then I was reminded of the precursor band: Gowns.  I got those albums and oh they are a slightly messier and gritter and equally glorious explorations.  These two tracks are from Red State, which fuses the dark pop with post rock sound scapes and ethereal whisper.  Recommended.

Sharon Van Etten - Keep:  The dreamiest of dreams from the 2009 album Because I Was In Love.

Shlohmo - Rained The Whole Time (Nicolas Jaar Remix)
Shlohmo - The Way You Do (D33J Remix):  Drenched down liquid honey remixes from the Vacation EP and you know you need it.  It's all this good.

The Herbaliser - Inside The Machine
The Herbaliser - Take 'em On:  After oh so many I don't get hyped by too many new albums from the Ninja Tunes classics roster, and I wasn't all about There Were Seven, but these 2 tracks from the 2012 album still have it going on.

Two Door Cinema Club - Sleep Alone (Matt Bishop Remix):  Already some of the best dance pop rock, it just takes a teeny remix touch to get it out to the clubs.

M3P blog 2014/07/16

blog 2014/07/16 - so realistic you're not even knowing the difference

Dropping to the hex edits:  http://thetastates.com/mp3s/blog/blog20140716.zip


Charles Bradley - Crying in the Chapel
Charles Bradley - Dusty Blue
Charles Bradley - You Put the Flame On It:  This old soul man is all right by me.  It will be hard to find anyone who is not finding glorious moments on Victim of Love.  Recommended

Explosions in the Sky & David Wingo - Dear Madison (Prince Avalanche OST)
Explosions in the Sky & David Wingo - Send Off (Prince Avalanche OST)
Explosions in the Sky & David Wingo - Wading (Prince Avalanche OST):  I do this a lot:  get the soundtrack with no intentions of ever seeing the movie.   Great little pieces all over the lovely Prince Avalanche soundtrack.

John Zorn - Contes De Fees
John Zorn - Kol Nidre:  This might be a bit much for some of you, BUT BEAR WITH ME.  Zorn is back with another major CD of compositions for large ensemble, and the examples here aren't even the peak of the disc, which is a 20+ minute glorious track.  Fragmentations, Prayers And Interjections might not be for everyone, but if you love contemporary ensemble music, it's really remarkable.

Sidi Touré - Maïmouna
Sidi Touré - Ni see ay ga done (It is to You That I Sing):  Hot jams from Koïma!  I always check out all of the Tourés, and this album is just OK, but I like these 2 a lot.

The Decemberists - One Engine:  Another track from the curious little "The Hunger Games: Songs From District 12 & Beyond" cash-in comp.

The Pastels - Secret Music:  I was excited for the new album Slow Summits, but not much else on there really grabbed me.

Tom Waits - Shenandoah:  A rare decent track from the curiously green-lighted comp "Son of Rogues Gallery: Pirate Ballads, Sea Songs & Chanteys"

U.S. Girls - Don't Understand That Man
U.S. Girls - North on 45
U.S. Girls - Work from Home:  I wasn't digging all of GEM, but loved a handful of tracks.

XV - Everyday Life:  Love love the flow all on this one.

Zero 7 ft Only Girl - The Colour Of Spring:  End it up with some blissful smoothness.  Good night!

MP3 blog 2014/07/08

blog 2014/07/08 - all in with the broth

We can simmer you all day:  http://thetastates.com/mp3s/blog/blog20140708.zip


Alice Russell - Heartbreaker Pt. 2
Alice Russell - I Loved You
Alice Russell - Let Go (Breakdown):  Finally getting around to checking out Alice Russel's 2013 album To Dust and unfff is it a satisfying soul breaks winner!  Highly recommended!

Antigen Shift - Extraction:  The newly released album Brotherhood is full of trancey dancefloor industrial like this.

Matthias Vogt Trio - April 5th (Talk Talk cover):  Another cover from the compilation Spirit Of Talk Talk.

Neko Case - Nothing To Remember:  A little gem plucked form the cash-in record "The Hunger Games: Songs From District 12 & Beyond".  No, not kidding.

Nils Frahm, Peter Broderick & Davide Rossi - It's Getting Late In The Evening (Talk Talk cover):  And another cover from the compilation Spirit Of Talk Talk.  Almost done with this…

Plastikman - Panikattack (Second Attack Remix):  Perfect little tech nugget dug out of 2007's Nostalgik.3.  I love the flute sounds that just mist above parts of the mix.

Recoil - Dum Dum Girl ft Shara Worden (Talk Talk cover)
Recoil - Inheritance ft Linton Kwesi Johnson & Paul Marshall (Talk Talk cover):  More covers from the compilation Spirit Of Talk Talk.  OK, done.  And that last remix is some wonderfully dark Golden Palominos style shit. 

Serengeti - Bang Em:  I don't get it whole-hog, but I love his commitment to the style and character.  From the Kenny Dennis LP.

The Acorn - Darcy
The Acorn - For The Sake Of My Pride
The Acorn - The Pink Ghosts:  I recently pulled out the 2007 album Pink Ghosts out again and ahhhh it's such a marvellous classic.  It is up their with Rae Spoon's Superioryouareinferior as one of the quintissential Canadian folk rock albums.  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

The Boredoms - Ant 10 Estereo 10:  I was a Boredoms hardcore fan from the early 90s, and I think I bought up to Super Roots 8 right when they came out in Japan.  But I am only recently getting back to the psych discography and Super Roots 10 is an extendo remix jam that is oh so satisfying, if you love that vibe getting churned forward for an album.  Which I absolutely do.

Wye Oak - Logic Of Color
Wye Oak - Shriek:  Shriek is an absolutely fabulous pop rock album. I have only started savouring it, but umm..  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

MP3 blog 2014/07/02

blog 2014/07/02 - fuck your pompous take on it

In the end my dreams tell me I'm the deluded one:  http://thetastates.com/mp3s/blog/blog20140702.zip


Beyonce - Pretty Hurts
Beyonce - xxxFlawless ft Chimamanda Ngozi Adiche:  I realize I forgot to mention anything off Beyonce's self-titled album outside of the brilliant Frank Ocean collab.  I’m not going to get in to those "Beyonce as false feminist" conversations, because for me I'm aces at stripping context from around things when I need to, and so here with are with two other great tracks.   At the very least, I think the storytelling brazenness of Pretty Hurts deserves some immense kudos.

Chrome Sparks - Marijuana
Chrome Sparks - Send The Pain On:  Swirled bass beats all over the place, from the Sparks Ep.

Estrellas de la Kumbia - Camino a Colombia (Uproot Andy RMX):  UPROOT ANDY TRACK DUMP OMG SO GOOD

Fania All Stars - Lamento de un Guajiro (Uproot Andy RMX):  UPROOT ANDY TRACK DUMP OMG SO GOOD

Galileo y Su Banda - El Forastero (Uproot Andy RMX):  UPROOT ANDY TRACK DUMP OMG SO GOOD

Galimatias & Joppe - One Step Back ft GoldLink:  Smooth and smart little track.

Grupo Socavon - Homenaje a Justino (Uproot Andy RMX):  UPROOT ANDY TRACK DUMP OMG SO GOOD

Jazz Liberatorz - Vacation ft J.Live:  Now this is my kind of summer morning jam.

Khaled - Raba Raba (Uproot Andy RMX):  UPROOT ANDY TRACK DUMP OMG SO GOOD

Les Rapaces - Bassoue (Uproot Andy RMX):  UPROOT ANDY TRACK DUMP OMG SO GOOD

The Dillinger Escape Plan - One of Us Is the Killer
The Dillinger Escape Plan - The Threat Posed by Nuclear Weapons:  Have they always paid so much homage to Mike Patton?  One of Us Is the Killer is a great little album when you want that dapper intensity.

Youth Lagoon - Attic Doctor
Youth Lagoon - Dropla
Youth Lagoon - Mute:  I feel about Wondrous Bughouse the same way I thought about their first album:  a few magical tracks on it, and I can't get in to the rest, despite the thunderous praise of everyone else.  YMMV.
