Ariel Pink and Jorge Elbrecht - Hang On to Life

chris on September 05 2013

The corner I work on is amazing. A constant parade of models, babes in workout clothing, and Liev Schreiber. It's a perfect balance because he is the masculine equivalent of two hundred men put together.

Ploy - VRDSNT

Alex on September 04 2013

The past three days I've had this constant "FUUUUUUUUUUUUU--" going on in my head. Next week I plan on drinking a ton of beer - like a 12 pack of bud light and maybe one of those fuzzy navel wine coolers just to really seal the deal with adult-onset diabetes.

Holy Ghost - Okay

chris on September 04 2013

I was misled by the vibe from their single on this one. As an entity, this album just blew me away. Not by dropping serious disco dance jams, but by bringing a grownup, fully matured masterpiece. They really worked some magic in the studio, with a broad variety of sounds, accomplished with an equally broad spectrum of equipment. These dudes are for real and here to stay.

Hooray for Earth - Same

Alex on August 30 2013

I imagine this band got their name because they wake up every morning all "HOORAY FOR EARTH AND THE INTERSTELLAR EVER EXPANDING EXPLOSION WE CALL OUR UNIVERSE." then they put on flip flops, make coffee, and eat cheerios with no sugar for breakfast.

Oliver - Night Is On My Mind

I think the world needs way more practical jokes. And techno vikings, we need way more techno vikings. That guy is amazing. I wonder what he's up to right now.

Jackson And His Computer Band - Memory

Alex on August 29 2013

Jackson And His Computer Band return to the weird music scene with their latest album Glow which is shockingly less weird than I expected. I've always enjoyed this band but there was something missing, like a chef who only cooks with salt. It's really good salt - like expensive sea salt or some shit - but he never used pepper. Well thankfully Jackson has now discovered the full array of spices.

Jeremy Jay - High Note

The guy next to me in the bodega this morning bought one of those sex packet things with huge dick Japanese anime on it. It took every fiber of my restraint to not look over and say... really?

Breakbot - You should Know - Alt Take

chris on August 27 2013

I'm pretty sure Breakbot is over in France tailoring dance music specifically to my person taste. Killer beats and that silky smooth pillow talk voice. Oh Breakbot!

Keep Shelly In Athens - Oostende

Alex on August 26 2013

My favorite Greek band returns with a dope single. I should rephrase that.. My favorite Greek band, as well as the only Greek band I've ever heard other than at my Greek relative's wedding receptions, has returned with a dope single.

iamamiwhoami - Play

Alex on August 23 2013

It's hard to top that siren's call of a voice. The other day I heard a dude listening to some tunes which sounded a lot like iamamiwhoami and I told him he'd really dig iamamiwhoami. I then realized how incredibly dumb I sounded saying iamamiwhoami, I feel stupid typing iamamiwhoami. My fingers need a nap now.
