SAUCE.

Great song, amazing cover art, and cameo packed video from the super duo of A-Trak & Armand Van Helden. Yep yep.



And peep the Afrojack Remix!!!!

Duck Sauce - Barbra Streisand (Afrojack Meaty Mix)

VIDDY.

Yeah!!... Delorean finally have a video! I'm sure they've had em before but now I'm seeing one...


If you haven't heard this track by the Spanish disco rockers (SERIOUS rotation on my all time return to playlist for like 3 years now, & the song that brought them world wide!) you should!

Delorean - Deli

You know Mark Ronson is the JMR...this one is from this summer, features Q-Tip in Japanese world and is the first single from his new album, The Record Collection...



Loving this R. Kells cover from How To Dress Well...



Fucking dig this hot video double shot from Twin Shadow! Dig it I said!




& This Arcade Fire from John Legend w/ The Roots...



/\/\/\Y/\ gives us two eye ball killers....




Even though, for me, the large scale live performance setting doesn't best fit their musical stylings, I'm feeling this video (& track) from Sleigh Bells...

CHAIN GANG.

I'm in it cuz Jackie Chain is my dude.

I first heard him like 2 years ago now, and I was captivated. The quasi-Asian-ness (he's 1/2 Korean) The quasi-white-ness (he's 1/2 white). The quasi-not-gangsta-ness. The actual gangsta-ness. The cameos with 'real G's'. I think to myself 'I must just not know what this kid has going on! How is he so gangsta?! He looks so NOT gangsta!!' He's not the best blow-you-away, hands-down rapper, but homie goes hard thats for sure. I'm down with the Chain Mang.



Peep the teaser for his new video, 'Wow':



And the video for a summer 2010 track of his, 'Diamonds & Cadillacs':


And a couple of tracks he rips the shit out of...

Jackie Chain f. Jhi Ali - Rollin' (Diplo Remix)

Mike Posner & The Brain Trust f. Big Sean, Donnis & Jackie Chain - Smoke & Drive (Remix)

Jackie Chain - Diamonds & Cadillacs

MURDA.

Wowsers...I would have gone to this for free...

YEAH YEAH YEAH. FOR 10 YEARS.

IT DON'T GET NO ROUGHER.

God I fucking love Gogol.

One of the best shows I have ever been to hands down. Seattle 2008. The night after seeing Cut Copy (one of the best shows I have ever been to). By the end, my jeans (a thick pair) were literally soaked completely through. I never washed them. Then they got lost. Gogol sweat and all.

They had finished the main set, and everyone was chanting for an encore. Eugene comes out and screams :

"YOU WANT MORE?! MORE ... IS SO MUCH MORE...THAN YOU CAN FUCKING HANDLE!!!"

Well everyone went nuts of course & then they proceeded to play like 30 minutes more of straight, non stop madness. Jeeeez. That old dude on the fiddle is out his gad damn mind.

He tells it the best himself in the beginning of this video...which also gives you an ease into the bands vibe...



Their new album Trans-Continental Hustle,produced by Rick Ruben, is out now. You should check it. Upon it you will find the song for which the video is posted below, courtesy of boing boing, and from there, Eugene tells us a bit about where the band is coming from on this one :

I have lived in the Ukraine, Italy, the United States, and Brazil, and of course we've traveled so many places as a band now, too. For us as a band, immigration policies— we've been affected by them, we know how imperfect they are and how brutal they can be on people. This song speaks about the double standards that immigration policies have. One of the biggest defects of immigration is the hosting country often makes itself look very inviting at first, and once the migrants are there, they are subjected to super serious hardcore bureaucratic terror for a number of years which does not make them feel very welcome. Anything like that should be resolved, it traumatizes people to the bone.

Amen.

AUDIO-OLOGY.

Remember the homies?

Well, you done fucked up, cuz its too late! They large now! HA!

Im just messin, kinda, but Audio-Ology is definitely on their way, and an amazing performance at Ne-Yo & Chris Brown's VMA afterparty @ Boulevard 3 in Hollywood this past Sunday was just another step. Y'all killed it my dudes! Silk The Shocker what? Gucci what? Waka what? Nothing compared to the real music coming from these guys. Look for big things happening.

THURSDAY FUZZ FALSETTO.

It takes me forever and ever to post things. One day we'll have a staff of like, 5 or something and there will be shit scrolling across your news ticker and shit from us.

Oh, so SoundCloud, solid, quick, easy, DMCA friendly, and usually easy to find what I want. Downside is that I can't always do it (see YouTube 'video' below). I'm just not ready to delete my blog again anytime soon, mostly because I just don't have much time to put into it right now! @nd I'd like it to still be around when, well, maybe I do.

These two albums, as whole pieces, are pretty great mellow times, being my pick of the pair. Two tracks from each.



I think I posted Woods on the old blog. Two from At Echo Lake.

Its fuzzy, and falsetto, and kinda funny, but its pretty engaging and can even be heart wrenching. If you will that is.

Oh, and to my Portland MAINE fam, the guys play the homeland, in a venue I love, SPACE Gallery on September 15! And for my Vermontskis, the next day in Winooski @ The Monkey House!


Woods - Blood Dries Darker


Woods - Pick Up




And Avi Buffalo. What can I say? I love some hard ass music, but I'm a sucker for some mellow ass falsetto rock. I think they are pretty big in the underworld. Heh. Anyone catch em @ Hollywood Bowl? I think they opened for...I can't remember. Sure it was good picnic and wine times.

No, I know they have a good following, and I dig the almost totally not weird/weirdness of all of their tracks.

Two from the self titled LP...Avi Buffalo.


Avi Buffalo - Jessica


Avi Buffalo - Summer Cum

MORE VIDEOS?

Yep.
