Hot Chip

Oh goody!  Hot Chip is set to release their new album One Life Stand on DFA in February.  If you are already a Hot Chip fan than I am sure you are just as excited as I am.  For all of you that are not familiar, here is a track from that new release.  Be sure to check all of their earlier releases as well.

Hot Chip – Take It In

Back!!!

First off, I am sorry for my leave of absence from the blog world.  It has been a strange couple of past weeks.  Kinda goes like this, although not exactly in this order.  Binge, binge, hangover, work with hangover, binge, double shot of jager with a beer chaser, binge, birthday, more jager, more beer, oh hello crown royal, hangover, binge halloween, binge, and… Well ya get the picture.

Secondly here is some tracks I have been lovin in the middle of all that.  They are all across the board on selection.  Seems appropriate.

-

Bad Vein – Gold and Warm

Sunset Rubdown – Idiot Heart

Delphic – Counterpoint (Delphic’s En Route Mix)

Designer Drugs – Drop Down

Empire Of the Sun – Standing On the Shore (Lifelike Remix)

Fabian – Gilourni

Cut Copy – Far Away (Bag Raiders Remix)

Kasper Bjorke – Young Again (WhoMadeWho Tomboy Edit)

Mmm…Goodstuff!

Little Debbie pic, don’t ask.  It seems like a good idea.  Anyway, here is some audio crack for you.

-

Faded Paper Figures – Logos

Zach Lipkins – Cultivate Your Light

New Finds

Well surfing around the web today happened to be pretty fruitful.  I was fortunate enough to learn about two really amazing bands.  I must say each is quite good.  Then I realized that I am way behind on these two.  Now I know that I am not exactly the blogger that gets things out first, I do have a life, but damn, how the hell did I miss these two.  Oh well, better late than never.

First up is London’s Bombay Bicycle Club.  I cannot believe how young and talented these chaps are.  Their new album I Had the Blues But I Shook Them Loose was released back in July.  Love it, love it, love it.

-

Bombay Bicycle Club – Always Like This

Bombay Bicycle Club - Lamplight

Secondly is the band Division Day.  These four guys are out of LA and have been gaining great attention with their latest release called Visitation.  Definetly worth your ten bucks on iTunes.

Division Day – Chalk Lines

Division Day – Reservoir

Weekend

Oh thank god it is the weekend.  One more night of work and I get a day to myself.  I love having Sundays off.  Spend time with the fam and troll around the internet to find new music.  One more night.  Hope everyone is having a good weekend themselves.  Here are some weekend beats for ya.

-

Demon – Happy Therapy (Lifelike Remix)

Munk – Back Down (Cut Copy Jackmaster Remix)

Sweet Disposition

I did a previous post about these fine Aussie gentleman back in September and since their US release they are gaining a good amount of attention.  So I thought it would be appropriate to share a couple of remixes of their hit single Sweet Disposition.  I love the original the most still, but these are two good reworkings by Alan Wilkis and Doorly.  Enjoy.

The Temper Trap – Sweet Disposition (Alan Wilkis Remix)

The Temper Trap – Sweet Disposition (Doorly Remix)

 

More Casablancas

Julian’s new album Phazes For the Young has unfortunately been pushed back to a Nov. 3rd release date now.  It was originally set to be released Oct. 2oth.  So to ease us with the pain he has released another single from his official website.  I am glad to hear this new song, but come on, release this album already!

Julian Casablancas – River of Brakelights

Monday

Ugh.

The Black Hollies – Gloomy Monday Morning

Sunday Beats

Here are some of my favorite new dance tracks as of late.  Yes, they make this gangly white boy wanna shake his booty.  Shake yours too!

Miami Horror – Sometimes

Mowgli – Nu Skool

NightWaves - Fascination (MMMatthias Remix)

The Kids Are Radioactive – Higher (ft. LexiconDon)

Mars Volta

Last night I was fortunate enough to go see the Mars Volta for the first time.  A buddy of mine was able to make some phone calls and get us the opera box seats at Cleveland’s House of Blues.  Suffice to say, MV did not disappoint.  I was blown away by their one and a half hour set.  Great music and great energy.  It will be one to remember.
