Pervert and Proud.

Designer Drugs.



Can't stop listening to this track. All weekend long! Some new faces from philly. It's french touchish, but has a great driving melody that puts me in mind of a really cheesy power metal track.

Designer Drugs - FUCK YEAH!


Ladytron.



Some new remixes from their recent 12 inch out last week. The everything you touch remix is great. It sounds like it's behind the beat and slightly off, but it works well.

International Dateline - Simian Mobile Disco Remix

Destroy Everything You Touch (Vector Lovers Remix)




Belladonnakillz



Nice little melody here. Most of their songs are messy drum and bass with lots of noise and melody. It's an adventurous mix and works a lot of the time. They seem to be strongest doing fun songs like this first track though which is off their album from last year.

Belladonnakillz - Let U Go.

The second song is a remix off a 4 song EP that came out earlier this year featuring some fine Canadian artists. More representative.

Belladonnakillz - Y Try Fight Life (rmx)

All I wanna do is...

Plaid for Lashes:



Bats for Lashes - What's A Girl to Do (Plaid Remix)

A very killer plaid remix of this epic song. I believe it's on the import single.



M.I.A. Vs the Clash



M.I.A. Feat. Bun B and Rich Boy - Paper Planes (remix)

Fun track. It's basically a recasting of Straight to Hell By the clash but the bass sound is a bit different. Lots of gun noises with a heavy dub feel. It sounds a lot like the Future Sounds of London with a proper Rap bit. Not that there is anything wrong with that.


I've been busy lately. Hopefully I can do some more updates this weekend.

Peas.

We are on this case.

No Front Teeth


Lithuania's take on the whole french touch scene. Good track here that sounds a lot like the big J, and totally worth the listen. I think they only have this one 12'inch up for grabs......and I doubt you'll find it around here anyway! I really like the metal style cover.

So here is a track for your head or your mixes:

No Front Teeth - Metal on Metal


Plastique De Reve




If you don't know who Plastique De Rêve is, you should. he's been doing electronic music since the 80s and crossed into just about every style there is. From EBM to Techno Pop, and from Ambient and Electro, he's been there.

This track is a great Electro funk track, but slightly more robotic than most. It's off his THE SOUNDS YOU HEAR 12inch on turbo records.

Do it!

MSTRKRFT Easy Love


Never enough MSTRKRFT in your life. Sessy video too for Easy Love.

Indie crunk.

This is gonna be huge.

30h!3

Greetings from planet Mars.

I guess use Melt Banana or Yellow Sub Machine Gun as a starting point. But not nearly as noise crazy or straight up punk. Loud, and distorted, brash and fun. The White Stripes if the White Stripes weren't obsessed with being quirky and low-fi tossers and grew up in london listening to Guitar Wolf?

You tell me.

Comanechi - Death of you (Gentlemen Drivers Remix)

All-time Highs in Iraq: Escalation by the Numbers

I don't want this blog to get overly political, but this article really sums up the devastation, corruption, and folly of the "Surge". The next time you talk to somebody who thinks we shouldn't be pulling out, and that the surge should be "given a chance"...show them this:

The number of taxpayer-paid private contractors in Iraq,
the number of bullets fired for each insurgent killed,
the percentage of amputations performed on U.S. war-wounded:
a compilation of numbers puts Iraq into perspective.

Someday, we will undoubtedly discover that, in the term "surge" -- as in the President's "surge" plan (or "new way forward") announced to the nation in January -- was the urge to avoid the language (and experience) of the Vietnam era. As there were to be no "body bags" (or cameras to film them as the dead came home), as there were to be no "body counts" ("We have made a conscious effort not to be a body-count team" was the way the President put it), as there were to be no "quagmires," nor the need to search for that "light at the end of the tunnel," so, surely, there were to be no "escalations."

Aus Rotten - The Flags Will Cover Coffins.

Tuesday night tracks meant for Monday.

Sorry, I've been busy! Meant to do this yesterday, but such is life...

Here are a few remixes of well known indie/brit pop/dance rock bands for your pleasure. Something for the kids who don't get out much.

Block Party - Hunting for witches (Fury 666 Remix) [A nice over driven remix]

Blur - Song 2 (Eric Prydz remix) [Gets pretty slammin' on in there! Very Busy.]

Interpol - The Heinrich Maneuver (Paul Epworth Phones Remix)
[The bass breakdown in the middle is just swell. I promise.]

Vivek Shraya - Seven Nation Army (Cover).
[Not super super amazing, but a good recasting all things considered]

Political and goth.

Dj Foundation. Who is he? Who knows. This is like if crass were a DJ in Iraq, mashing up tracks instead of making stripped down punk. Politics and dance are amazing I think. It renders other things obsolete. It's pretty fucking amazing and more punk rock than any hardcore band i've heard lately.

Take some time reading his myspace and seeing how much he angers people. It's great.

This track is pretty funny at first, but gets pretty amazing when he drops the genesis. Trust me.

DJ Foundation - G Had.

Next:



I really like She Wants Revenge. It's like Ian Curtis being kicked in the head by Bauhaus. Or maybe Interpol if they aped Kommunity FK instead of Joy Division. They have better lyrics than interpol, that's for sure. The singer reminds me a lot of the french band Corpus Delecti. The only bad thing about them is that they are on Fred Durst label. Yuck. It makes me sad they are probably on warp tour and such... But they have some amazing videos to make up for it.
I need more goth in my life, don't you?

Their new track song is really swell:

She Wants Revenge - Written in Blood.

Dykeenies Dance. What the heart wants.

Apparently their name comes from something in willow. I never really watched that movie. I'm almost tempted to find out what little phrase this comes from...

This track is off the new Single for 'Dry your Eyes'. I posted the Video for it earlier. Go look. Anyway, this track surprised me as a B-side. It's very driving and somewhat "neu-ravish", and a bit outside the britpop mold. Though maybe, this is the britpop mold now days, with bands like Shit Disco and White Rose Movement. I can see this song being remixed and passed around. Maybe I'll remix it myself.

I really love this guys voice. It's almost slurred.

Enjoy.

The Dykeenies - Stationary.

Let me breath hard, like it was hard.

This track makes me laugh something fierce. Basically Wale rapping over D.A.N.C.E. Enjoy it.

Wale - WaleDance

:D
