MP3 blog 2015/05/26

blog 2015/05/26 - you can't help hear but you can wait alongside

Nothing but heart, nothing but time:  http://thetastates.com/mp3s/blog/blog20150526.zip



Adventure Club - Gold (Moyo Remix):  This is all ridiculous electropop happiness

Daktyl - Stay ft Dive Deep:  Slick bass, bro.

Ingram Marshall - September Canons:  Long strings from September Canons.

Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith - Sundry:  Bouncing little balls represent the oscillations that rule your life.  From the album Euclid.

Metz - Actetate
Metz - Kicking A Can Of Worms
Metz - Wait In Line:  It is so refreshing to finally get that Jesus Lizard comeback album we always wanted!  Oh wait, Metz?  II?  Whatever.  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Nosaj Thing - Cold Stares ft Chance The Rapper
Nosaj Thing - Don't Mind Me ft Whoarei
Nosaj Thing - Medic:  Fated is full of good things and great ideas, I just wish most of them were longer.  It reads like a beat tape in search of a performer when it really doesn't need to be, because the ideas mostly all stand strong alone.  RECOMMENDED.

Open Mike Eagle - Dark Comedy Late Show
Open Mike Eagle - Ziggy Starfish (Anti-Anxiety Raps):  2 tracks I dig from the A Special Episode Of EP.

Strom Noir - Firn
Strom Noir - Morena:  Glaciology gives you the satisfying drones that kids really go for and parents know are nutritious.

Valise - Don't Forget Me:  Indie pop galore.

Violent Femmes - Good For / At Nothing
Violent Femmes - Happy New Year Next Year:  What. The Fuck.  What the actual fuck?  Is this real life?  Is there suddenly a new Violent Femmes EP out?  What?  I mean sure, I guess I know the answer:  Yes, the Happy New Year EP is here.  And it sounds…  Like the Femmes:  jangling, under produced, and always a bit ramshackled and slightly off key.  I was ready to hate this and dang, I kind of like it, and it's growing.  I'm shocked, shocked I know.  RECOMMENDED.

MP3 blog 2015/05/12

blog 2015/05/12 - the gift is the swell

And even that soon dissipates:  http://thetastates.com/mp3s/blog/blog20150512.zip



Aluna George - Outlines (Danny T Rework):  Start it up with the smooth garage.

Chromatics - Blue Moon:  More intense than you can imagine.  Dog whistles, amiright?

Darondo - Didn't I (Dave Allison Rework):  Gots to be funky.

Demdike Stare - Dyslogy:  Those hits are all Ken Ishii core for me and it takes me back.

Gal Costa - Tuareg (dîP Edit):  Like Uber, but for grooves that last 10 hours.

Hop Along - Buddy in the Parade
Hop Along - I Saw My Twin
Hop Along - The Knock:  New Hop Along album "Painted Shut"!!!  I'm still chewing on this one, so many great songs.  Recommended.

Jr. Hi - Secrets ft The Weeknd (GXNXVS Remix):  Thick synth sits darn well with Weeknder dude.

Listener - Eyes To The Ground For Change
Listener - Not Today:  Time Is A Machine is a massive adventure that excites the brain from start to finish.  I think every Hold Steady fan should branch in to an album like this as well.  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Marten Hørger - Deep Inside:  DEPP INSIDE, JOHNNY DEPP DEPP INSIDE

Slow Magic - Waited 4 U (ODESZA Remix):  Over the top bassplosion, like chillout with a dubstep flair.

Stick Figure - Stay With Me:  Glorious pop, hold your hands high!

The Rebel Light - Strangers:  Rapture!

Twiggy Frostbite - Ahai:  One of those great examples of a band's name which pretty much resolutely invokes the music…

Weaves - Shithole:  Yes OK ok okOK

Woodro Skillson - Clear My Throat:  so balling.

MP3 blog 2015/05/06

blog 2015/05/06 - Most of you all need to step off

Suffocate in the spark:  http://thetastates.com/mp3s/blog/blog20150506.zip

Oh and hey did you see I released a new DJ mix of dream beats?   http://djcpi.blogspot.ca/2015/05/cpi-no-more-human-friends.html



Braille - Life's A Bitch:  I am shuddering through the echoes of the 80s thunderous highs.

Death Kneel - Perfume Bath:  I think we should all rock French Farewell and sing like this in to the shower head.

Dva - Zoppe:  I have no idea what is going on here and assum

FL - Cameras ft AP (Treyy G Remix):  There was probably an executive decision to edit in more "UNH"s

Romare - Prison Blues
Romare - Roots
Romare - Work Song:  New album Projections is all types of dope.  So much goodness.  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Run The Jewels - Bust NO Moves ft Cuz
Run The Jewels - Pew Pew Pew ft Dj Qbert:  RTJ RSD!  (Record Store Day) flips us some b-sides.

Slumberjack - Felon (Nem0 Edit):  Hit all the buttons on your sampler at the same time and vomit red bull on the dance floor.

Suuns and Jerusalem In My Heart - 3attam Babey
Suuns and Jerusalem In My Heart - Metal
Suuns and Jerusalem In My Heart - Self:  OK I had some high hopes for this album, but meh, here are the parts I dug.

The Tallest Man on Earth - Beginners
The Tallest Man on Earth - Darkness of the Dream
The Tallest Man on Earth - Timothy:  Oh gosh this is like coming home to an old friend and having the warmest of evenings together.  Dark Bird Is Home makes me swoon.  Get it and get cuddling.  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

They Might Be Giants - Erase:  I’m not going to recommend the new TMBG album.  I wouldn't really recommend any of them past Factory Showroom that aren't kids records.  But hey, I like this single.
