Midlake - Roscoe - Wizardsleeve Remix

chris on July 31 2013

999 times out of 1000, I would stab you in the heart... to death... for remixing Midlake. TO DEATH I WOULD STAB YOU! But some serious care went into this jam. This is either my meeting my long lost brother and he's shot by my arch enemy soundtrack song, or it's my love has been taken away from me and I swear my vengeance on the heads of my enemies soundtrack song. Watch the fuck out cause if you hear this in my movie, heads are gonna mother fucking roll.

Icebird - Charmed Life (Candy Panther Remix)

alex on July 31 2013

While struggling to get out of bed this morning the word unflappable popped up in my head. My hopes were that the definition was going to be "The inability to flap." It's not - it's someone who stays calm under pressure. Now we know.

In other news: RJD2 snuck under my radar with this album. Rock solid RJD2-ness here so if you're like me and missed the album in 2011 travel back in time and get the album on release date then travel forward in time and get one of those hover skateboards everyone is pining for then come back to present day and be miserable in a world with only one hover skateboard.

Cousins - Jules

chris on July 29 2013

Hi. Chris here. I hope you're doing well today. I'm so out of it, I rode my bike to work and don't remember a second of it. That's terrifying. Three and a half miles through Manhattan traffic, essentially blacked out.

PAWWS - Time to Say Goodbye

Alex on July 29 2013

PAWWS, can you please release a full length already? In other ground shattering news: My dogs have fleas and I must now go take care of this issue by burning my apartment to the ground.

Nurses - Trying to Reach You

chris on July 26 2013

Totally singing this, trying to meet you, for about 5 minutes. Wrong Chris, it's reach you dumbass. Oh and whats the deal with crazy people and bags? I watched an insane woman rearrange pieces of scrap paper in a bag for 15 minutes straight on the train today. Let's be honest and just call it trash actually. She was rearranging trash.

AlunaGeorge - Bad Idea

Alex on July 25 2013

AlunaGeorge's new album is spot on - I'm super stoked to hear some of the remixes which will spur from these tracks. Is telling someone they're a car crash waiting to happen the ultimate burn? You're 10 car pile up in icy conditions.

LowerDens - Propagation

chris on July 24 2013

I always feel the need to speed up the tracks on leftasrain. Maybe it's because it often gets played at house parties or get-togethers, but that's not the mood i'm most often find myself in, or the music that I most often enjoy. I'm tend to be drawn to more sentimental music. Those dance jams don't have this kind of depth. And I don't want to feel upbeat and good all the time. Sad music makes me feel good actually. Bad good.

Alex Bleeker and the Freaks - Steve's Theme

Alex on July 23 2013

Steve's Theme, eh? Steve must be a pretty chill guy. Alex Bleeker, Regale me with more tales about your Steve. In all seriousness band names are just getting too long, I dont care if you name your band Crystal Bears - it's easy for me to say in passing. When someone asks me what I'm listening to and I have to respond with "Oh this ol' thing? Just Alex Bleeker and the Freaks" I feel disappointed in myself.

Midnight Magic - Beam Me Up

chris on July 22 2013

Mac comes in with a left right left right combo. Head body head body. Glass Joe goes down.

Small Black - Moon Killer

Alex on July 22 2013

Solid track from a solid band. I always know what to expect when I listen to a Small Black song and for whatever reason - that's very comforting to me. Which is the exact opposite feeling of not having any A/C in your 9th floor apartment, because that's currently what I'm experiencing and.. its too hot to write a joke about it.
