Stop-Motion-ed

This morning I open my e-mail and read the r.fm newsletter, a stop motion videoclips special. I talk with Rebo about projects and he shows me his new Emergency chair. Wow, I recall this hilarious shortfilm about NYC people from Thrusday night "Future shorts".

Now the neverendinghighly recommended Blalok's playlist for January (thanks Elena again!) gives me this tune et voilà...

Freshback

1997, the year of Big Beat. Brighton, the nerve centre of a new movement, a spark of frantic joy and rhythm in the dark land of Albion. Bristol though symbolizes sadness, quietness and mystery: Trip-hop is dying.

Freestylers smash up the place remixing "Purple". Brighton vs. Brixton, I can't choose now...

Neon Indian - Laughing Gas


Everybody loves an animal!
You name it! Guinea pig, duck, wombat, turtle, koala,Pankun, crocodile, panda... Gotta' catch 'em all!
We love animals, it's true... and chimpancees rock. Period.

That's amore.

Unsigned band. First album? Not yet released. Just a promo EP and some singles.
I fell in love with their few songs (and with the drummer too).



Stornoway - Zorbing (video link)

They announced that would be an experimental tour of Europe in the coming year... I'll wait.

Doubt: Delphic, language from Delft?

Or is it the language from Elphic dolphins? ...What I know is that I'm just sorry lads for not posting this when I discovered it. You know my mania for saving the tracks for the mixes... Now it's all over and we are late. Better late than nothing, if you ask me ;)


"Doubt" is Delphic's third single for their forthcoming album "Acolyte". Freaking fresh!


Delphic - Doubt

Drifting...

Straight from the soundtrack of my new favourite surf movie ever..The drifter...

The Drifter - Taylor Steele


And this is the complete live version...



The Raconteurs - Carolina Drama

Clap your hands if you want some more!

Or that's what The Pipettes used to claim. Shit! that video is so bad... so you can just listen to the beat while you read this lovely piece of text.

2010 in the house! And it starts like this. Quick and simple, here you go:

Accidentally spotted sample

It was yesterday night while having a drink with this friend of mine talking about people's new habits in music listening when suddenly one of the Parliament/Funkadelic songs that were sounding turned into this.
My speech became instantly useless listening amazed by the find... I declare myself a defender of sample use, and it's funny how 30 years later somebody can still use that sound and convert it into something so fresh, so clean.
And this is not Bridget Jones nothing to do with it at all but I think i like it:

It's one life and it's this life and it's beautiful


First Aid Kit - Hard Believer (video link)

And this is the way I've woken up today...

If Dananananaykroyd didn't have enough having one of the best names ever, these Glaswegian lads dare to proclame themselves as a "fight pop" band... It looks like a perfect combination for fulfilling hungry magazine critics looking for new tags in their personal collection. However, the results aren't enough yet to qualify them as hype. Time to time...

By the way, my 2009 mix is almost ready ;)

Stay tuned!!


Dananananaykroyd - Some Dresses from Sammy Davies Senior

Dirty dutch

Straight outta Utrecht!
some dirty electro that reminds me of my homeland's dirtiest bloody electro live crookers..
well..these guys they will play with the bloody beetroots at the 5daysoff festival in a march..that by the way doesn't look too bad..
but to be fresh, shynt and dirty..



Boemklatsch - Bonified (video link)

don't know yet if i like it..coz i'm another mood today..more like this..but we need to put the hands in the shit if needed..

respect!

Letter to the Three wise men


Dear Wise Men (or Kings),

I've heard you're coming to town tonight, as seen on TV. I know it's probably a bit too late and 2010 arrived a few days back, so my wishes might fall into a deep dwell. Anyway, to whom it may concern, could you tell the king please to bring back again the action for the people, electrify them, do something, give us the joy! And this is coming from an atheist Republican...

The King of Pop left us last year, but here we still have the King kicking it. So that might help you to make this thing come true, you know the burocracy thing and stuff... I don't ask for much and I really behaved during last year, I got my degree and tried to not to fuck around too much, far enough.

Let me take you back to the old school... I wanna be down with the king! By the way Gaspar, you seemed to have fun in this video man ;)

Thank you very much in advance,


Yours truly,


the commuter

why don't they let drummers sing?

Happy whatever..
headache, stomachache, and puke were played on new years up in the mountains...
so i decided not only to hate the dj but to try to recover my brain from this southern style music brainwash..
and one song was enough...


old school, but played for real and with The drummer singing...
i would say a air vacuumed fresh hit..
