You Should Be Dancing
Listening to this new single from Canyons makes me want to shout rock journalist hyperbole from the rooftops. It’s a refreshingly shocking turn! Their early single “Apples & Pears” (which sampled the legendary band Cymande) was first-rate wine&cheese balearia that’ll still go down loungin’ poolside in any lap of luxury, the “Fire Eyes” EP was kinda … Read more
A Brief Note
Last time I saw Nancy Wang she was spinning some awesome Exposé 12 inches with Punches at the W’s Symmetry Series back in the summer. Now she’s running around in this funky Downtown 81 video rocking some fresh parachutes pants. I’ve had my pleasure zone for late 80′s proto-house production stimulated by shit robot’s whole album … Read more
Space Cowboys
“Goth Star” by Pictureplane This song comes on like the end of the world. Falling stars and explosions in slow motion. The chopped-up ghosts of Stevie Nicks slice into a shimmering melody that crackles and oozes under a field of distortion, overlaid onto a stomping push-pull beat, until the final minute when the voices … Read more
Wave of Mute Elation
“Omaha Beach” by Gouts De Luxe “Made For Each Other (featuring Jan Hammer)” by Junkie XL “Wow” by Siriusmo “Uniform” by Faberyayo “O.N.E.” by Yeasayer “Quicksand” by La Roux “Heathen Child” by Grinderman “I Feel Better” by Hot Chip “Instant Love” by Sylvia Love “Various Sound Sculptures” by Zimoun
Cold Crush
Breakin’ (Lorenz Rhode Remix) by Strip Steve I like how electro’s coming full circle and it’s funky enough that old school heads can get down to it. The original was a boysnoize-y banger but file this one under “Cold Stone Crushery-1984.” (for more choice examples of this phenomena, don’t sleep on the above minimix aussie DCUP … Read more
Cosmic Summer
grace (teeth) by ryan mcginley Expansions by Lonnie Liston Smith & The Cosmic Echoes “Lines of flight are everywhere. They constitute the available means of escape from the forces of repression and stratification. Even the most intense strata are riddled with lines of flight.” -Miguel Rojas-Sotelo When it’s this hot, you gotta get deep. Waiting … Read more
Lynch Myths
Orpheus by Pariah My sister’s re-watching every David Lynch movie to warm up her new cabin in the woods. It’s strange but sometimes a spooky atmosphere can be comforting, in the same way that the familiar can be creepy or love can be lonely. Song to the Siren by This Mortal Coil Lynch really wanted … Read more
How Soon Is Now?
Cloudbusting by Wild Nothing Gemini by Wild Nothing has so many good reference points that trying to list them all would be just dumb. Trust me, everything you like is in there-the alternative 80′s seen through the airbrushed surface of a rearview mirror, like The Mary Onettes (or Saturdays=Youth) without the muddy over-production and … Read more
