OSCILLATORS. ARE THE SHIT.

Alan Palomo...does synth stuff. And there's been at least one song every couple of years that have just been the jam. For the Hero anyway.

The newest is Neon Indian... new album... Era Extraña .. what can I say, I'm a sucker for synth.. and this is hell yeeezy on that subject.

Also, if you buy the deluxe pack, it comes with a nice shiny LP, a CD, a T, a P(oster), and a GD mini synth! Fer reelz.


Buuuut, I was hooked @...

...Ghosthustler . . . 2007. Yes. PRE - BLOG SUPERSTARS! Or, maybe at the beginning. Blasting in a 1997 Volvo V70 station wagon, flying through Vancouver rain...that shit had a good system. R.I.P. Greens from the Hell's Angels above New Amsterdam.

Ghosthustler - Someone Else's Ride



VEGA ...



Neon Indian 1.0 ... also blowing synth minds... and supposedly, with Psychic Chasms, defining the genre' of 'chillwave'? Hmmm...ok. The album WAS the shit either way...

IT'S NEW. THEY'RE FRENCH.

Justeeece. That's how you say it.

Audio, Video, Disco. Coming soon to the entire world.

DON'T TOUCH THE GROUND!

Viddy for "A Grass Day" from Groundislava... taken from the LP... Groundislava ... and brought to you by your friends at Friends of Friends, and Shlomo..


Groundislava's Pops made the "Take On Me" video...seriously. Norwegian new-wave sunn. AND, Paula Abdul's "Opposites Attract" video..that was a serious fave as a youngster..Now he's done this video for his son.

It's the goods.





He also put together this mix for spring past which is part of the Friends of Friends mix series... 2011.. how fast it goes..

GROUP OF LOVE.

Being a really awesome band helps.

BUILDING OF BRAIN.

Is the album from our homie Zach Goyne...A Fonogenic Studios/Simple & Genius project...with some help from the Hero of course...

It's ferr real.

Peep the new shit...fresh of the press...

R.I.P. MEHDI.

Quality, fun, and non shitty "electronic" music would not be where it is today without DJ Mehdi...nuff said.

   DJ Mehdi - Tunisian Summer Mix (RIP)

A mix from Mehdi and Riton .. (Carte Blanche), mix from the UPH files..

And what was the intro for us....

WARPED RUSTIE SWORDS. OF GLASS.

Brand spankin from the almighty Warp comes this banguh of a new track by Rustie taken from his upcoming full length Glass Swords, out October 10.

Don't know what else to say, b/c this shit is bananas like pajamas, and you need to just cop it.

MC'S. IN STEREO. X3. IN VIDEO.

These dudes and dudettes are back....

...and with a nice little video trilogy for three singles from their new album, Emperor's Nightengale, on K7 Records.

You better get yourself connected...

#BTTF.

As the masses of nouveau 'sneaker heads' who enjoy camping out & lining up and/or paying $300+ for a pair made 'rare' immediately, are too lazy to dig for cheap ACTUALLY rare kicks, and probably couldn't tell you the difference between a Workout Classic w/ a strap and a 54.11 already knooooooow, Nike applied for a patent to make Marty McFly's last year.

The day is here....

THE FORMER HOOD. K.I.M.

Semi appropriate that this video from my homie Malkovich drops today.

The UPH offices happen to have to drop out of Palms. Unfortunately in a bit of an unceremonious and unfun way. What did you think makes us the 'unsung' hero? Keepin' it movin my friends, K. I. muthafukin M.

Malk be doin' that very same...



Just to reinforce the point...the O.G.

KEEP IT MOVIN.

Getting a bit crazed here in LA right now.. The Unsung Party Hero offices have been poised to move for a while now, and complications are arising by the minute!

Ah well, at least there's always this old ass 8 bit hip hop medley to listen to.
