Jerk Chicken.

Thunderheist - Jerk it.

Thunderheist was one of my favorites of last year for sure. Strong beats and a killer electro funk sound. This video is just the bestest.

Keep it moving.

Time to start updating this little blog again. It's summer and there are so many good songs to talk about.

Crystal Castles. Courtship Dating








It seems that the Castles are finally starting to get some mainstream love with this song off their full length. Personally, I prefer the thrash boom beat of 'Love and Caring' over this track, but it has a certain sly appeal to it. I need to nip on down to the shop and buy this on vinyl already.

Black Ghosts. Anyway You Choose to Give it


I'm surprised that the Black Ghosts haven't gotten bigger faster. It's like a lighter version of digitalism with less post-punk and more soul. Very light and fun but still powerful. The keyboards in the chorus are lovely.

Pilooski. 3 Songs.


This is such a beautiful song. The bass is great of course, not to mention the really great clap sound to build up the rather quick beat. The star is Valli's voice. It's so pleading and strong and really makes the song jump up to another level. Pilooski makes it shine with this edit. Northern Soul never sounded so good. Very Mark Ronson.

Frankie Valli - Begging (Pilooski Re-edit)

Pilooski also worked his magic on this Pointers sister track.

The Pointer Sisters - Send Him Back (Pilooski Edit)

The Mystery Jets are a 4 piece from the UK who make power punk pop. Very cheesy and 80's with the suits to back it up.

The Mystery Jets - Two Doors Down (Pilooski Remix)

Here's the original:




Venetian Snares. Gentleman


I remember buying my first Venetian snares CD about 7 years ago. Making Orange Things was pretty wild stuff at the time. He's always tried to make jungle/drum and bass powerful and unexpected. Something it should always be. I feel most drum and bass in America is much too static and boring with the same amen beat and boring commercial sound. VS keeps it razor with his new album, and you should go buy it!


JT and Casino Inc. My Love


Casino Inc. More good shit from Paris.

Justin Timberlake - My Love (Casino Inc. Disco Remix)


Civil Terror. Surrounded by Assholes.

Again, all the good punk rawk and core is in europe! Civil terror is how hardcore should be. Influenced by Infest, fast, and full of searing piss takes. Girls, Girls, Girls is one of my favorite. I also love that they look like normal guys... no sketchy awful tattoos and plugs, just sweet straight forward hardcore tunes. This is the whole album for you to digest and enjoy. Or beat a small child with.

Martriden.


If you like a bit of Emperor with your death metal this group is for you. Dynamic and crisp and heavy and thick. Check them out on the space and enjoy the Calling.

Raaaaaaaaah!
The album art is bloody awful though.
