TGIF: Chromeo's "Don't Turn the Lights On"

Friday, August 6, 2010


It's Friday, and I feel like dancing. Hence, a track that's more than a month old from professional "party-starters" Chromeo. To be fair, it dropped during our little "hiatus", so I was just looking for a reason to share this one anyway. They'll be rolling out their third album, Business Casual, September 14. Until then, turn this one up to 11, and hit "repeat":

Junip (Feat. Jose Gonzalez): "Always"

Thursday, August 5, 2010


Junip is basically José González' answer to Justin Vernon's Volcano Choir Project. Almost to a "T", actually. These guys have been playing together off and on since the late '90s, but have never really dedicated themselves to the project until now. No doubt it's been worth the wait, but be forewarned: listening to "Always" will most likely lead to a tormenting couple of months until the 27th of September, when their first full length, Fields, is finally released. Doubt my warnings at your own peril:

You can also head on over to the band's website and download a free copy of their under-the-radar Rope and Summit ep in exchange for handing over your email address, etc., which José González will most likely encase in a small seashell and wear around his neck in an attempt to bolster his vocal prowess.

Spoon Find a Way to Get Even More Funky Than Usual

Wednesday, August 4, 2010

Wow, the coolest band around took advantage of an opportunity last night to incorporate members of what is possibly the second coolest band out there into their live performance of slow burner "Nobody Gets Me But You". And the results are absolutely filthy good. Dueling bassists, ?uestlove providing auxiliary percussion, and the massive payoff when they all finally cut loose result in something that is flat out too spectacular not to watch at least twice. Sorry about the advertisements, but this is flippin' awesome:

"Little League" is so much better than actual Little League it's not even funny.

Daft Punk Don't Care That You Think Tron Is Stupid

So what if the movie is based on an overblown game of laser-tag? Daft Punk are bringing their "A" game, and that's almost enough to make this endeavor legitimate in itself. Based on this 10-minute musical teaser, they are wisely making a shift back towards the glory days of Discovery. In other good news, it's sounding like there's a very real possibility that this is going to involve some sort of double-album. Lucky us:

Arcade Fire's "Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains)"


Perhaps it would have been more fitting for Arcade Fire to name their 16-track, hour (plus)-long album after this single instead, but that's a forgivable offense when these guys (& gals) have reeled off their 3rd ridiculously good album in as many tries. In fact, their uniqueness and ability to turn out such consistent greatness have planted them firmly in territory that is inhabited by very few artists these days. The Suburbs is out tomorrow. Go get it.
