Music Video: Miike Snow – Black & Blue

What an amazing tune and interesting video. Just saw the band last week @ Mercury Lounge, NYC and was thoroughly impressed by their extended epic versions of their pop tunes. They were like Soulwax meets Sigur Ros.

Emil & Friends – Downed Economy/Josephine 7″

“I could never figure out how she could slow things down, just a touch…”

“Josephine” is my summer tune of 2009 – a perfect mix of 70s pop perfection a la Steely Dan, Boz Scaggs, Hall & Oates with an undeniable feel good sunny, wind in your hair, easy-breezy vibe. And that guitar solo at the end reminds me of Steely Dan’s “Reelin in the Years”, epic harmonized guitars. Yes, please. Big things coming for Mr. Emil – so all y’all be on he look out.

Jay-Z x Fake Blood

A purely cut and paste edit by the amazing Fake Blood of Jay-Z’s “Run This Town” – he only uses existing tracks and samples in the song.

Erol Alkan & Boys Noize x Bobermann (Bob Rifo)

This should be amazing for what a colossal collaboration/remix this is – but I understand that Bob wanted to retain as much of original as he could so this is more for an edit than a remix.

Check out a vid of The Bloody Beetroots “LIVE”…? More like a little minimix they put together that Bob and Tommy decided to pretend to play – funny stuff.

Fall 2009 Tunes: Washed Out + Bibio

The summer has faded and the fall is now upon us. In my search for some introspective/chill fall tunes I finally gave Washed Out a listen and am quite impressed. I enjoy his lo-fi, DIY electronic productions vibe that channel a smooth, musical sensibility that I feel Breakbot has pioneered and brought to the forefront of electronic music.

I just got hold of the new Bibio album (which came out in June – on Warp of course) and I am blowin’ away. It is the perfect mix of downtempo, chill, thoughtful/introspective beats mixed with some amazing guitar work that reminds me of Jim O’Rourke. I cannot stop listening to “Lovers’ Carvings”.

Enjoy these tunes on a lovely stroll on a crisp fall afternoon :)

JAMAICA

PONEY PONEY recently announced they are changing their name to – JAMAICA. Thoughts? I guess it is a marketing move so that we don’t confuse them with Pony Pony Run Run.
