MP3 blog 2015/02/17

blog 2015/02/17 - Only you and the night.

You can't hold it all back:  http://thetastates.com/mp3s/blog/blog20150217.zip


Angela James - Drink And Try Not To Cry:  Oh god!  *bawls*

Bonnie 'Prince' Billy - Whipped:  Quiet little number from Singer's Grave A Sea of Tongues.

Dan Mangan + Blacksmith - Vessel:  Dan's epic qualities hit a perfect peak on this great track from the new album Club Meds.

Death Grips - Runway J (1)
Death Grips - Runway N (3):  Fashion Week is all about the beats bout the beats bout the beats

Disclosure - Confess To Me ft Jessie Ware
Disclosure - Grab Her!
Disclosure - Help Me Lose My Mind ft London Grammar
Disclosure - Latch ft Sam Smith:  Oh hey just a reminder that Settle is one of the best dance albums of recent years.  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.  How do you not own it yet?

Four Tet - Parallel Jalebi (Hudson Mohawke RMX):  Like peanut butter and fucking chocolate.  No wait, don't like, fuck chocolate, but ummm.   Nevermind.  Nice track.

Grubby Mitts - To a Friends House the Way is Never Long:  This is one of those tracks that springs up out of nowhere and you're like holy shit how did life get so awesome?  Oh fuck it, no who cares that The Books broke up because here comes Time is What Stops Everything Happening at at Once.

Kappa Kavi - Challenger:  The post 8-bit era gives us the ecstatic video game music that Lazer Swords promised us.

Mark Molnar & Craig Pedersen - IMOO Vol 4 (100) live improv:  2 Ottawa jazz heavyweights go head to head, recorded live at an IMOO event.

Prince - Funknroll (Canblaster Remix):  Did you know Prince still is releasing albums?  No?  Yeah apparnetly Springsteen still does too.  No, really.  Welp, thank goodness for the remixers, distilling this down to the prime goodness.

SidiRum - La Danza De Las Trompas (Cocotaxi Remix)
SidiRum - Le Soleil (Umoja Remix):  Groove chill party bass all the time

The Decemberists - Cavalry Captain
The Decemberists - Lake Song
The Decemberists - The Wrong Year:  I'll say it plain:  What a Terrible World, What a Beautiful World is not a spectacular album.  It is about 50% really good, and a few songs meh, and a few songs have some cringeworthy parts that I skip over them faster than you can say "Rocks in your socks".  So yeah, give it a spin and sift out the jewels.  And here is to hoping they'll reward us in a year or two with an epic rock opera about the mythology of gold prospectors suffering oxygen deprivation.
