Aloud

My man Kiyoshi dropped this gem on me, Bob O'Lean by Aloud, another tremendous artist that has an ungoogleable name. Apparently, they have produced records on the We Rock Music label, which is run by Romain Seó of the Buffalo Bunch. After enjoying the fuck out of this track, i dug through the "crates" and found a few more tracks by them that i'm ecstatic to have in my library.

I'm gonna try and learn some more about who these people are, and give a listen to their self-titled album, which i've recently gotten, but haven't had a proper chance to listen to. My first impression reminds me of Phoenix, but with a heavier tendency towards disco, and way more aggressive vocals. Perhaps a proper review to come, but for now, i'd rather get these tracks up to you ASAP.

EDIT: I did find a little article about Aloud, and you can find it right here.
EDIT OF EDIT:It hurts me that i was not at this (bottom paragraph). Sigh.

Oink is Dead, Long Live Oink!

Today is a sad sad sad sad day. If anyones got a suggestion for where to steal music from, i'm all ears.

RIP Oink, 2004-2007.

Daft Punk at Vegoose

It looks like I've put things together to come to Vegoose next weekend to see Daft Punk (four times in 16 months, im proud to say). However, I'm not much of a gambler, and I think I'm gonna skip out on the Sunday shows at the festival (not much thats particularly interesting to me), so i'm wondering what to do with myself? Do any of you know of anything fun going on? Any word of afterparties in Vegas saturday night? What does one do on a Sunday in Vegas besides eat and spend money? and then Ethan remembers that Sopranos episode from the last season....hmm.

Anyways, if anyone has suggestions, or has a great houseparty that they wanna bring a couple fun strangers to, give me a holler.

Pepe plays that Dirty S#!+

If you don't know me personally, a little backstory. I went to Hampshire College in Amherst, MA studying Music and Movies. Hampshire is a teeny little hippie school in the middle of nowhere, just about equidistant from New York and Boston--read: far. It was a wonderful collection of wierdos for the most part, but there were certain characters who made themselves known above the others.



One of those was Pepe, who was as likely to shit-talk you at ping-pong as give you a spot while working as a monitor at the school weight room, and more likley, would ridecule your attempts to hold onto some kind of belief in God while smoking in the hallway. Pepe also really loved hippies, and he showed this by playing Detroit and Baltimore Booty tracks at the top of his stereo's tolerance, out into the quad while people were throwing frisbees, smoking weed, struggling to hear the tape of the Phish show from last month. At the time, i just thought it was balls (in the Stephen Colbert sense), but as time goes by, I've come to appreciate the tremendous music that he was playing, and when i listen to some of the mixes that he made, i'm consistently jealous of--and amazed by--his taste.



Originally, from Boston, Pepe lives in Brooklyn now, not more then 2 miles from me, yet I can't get him to come out to party. He's always working, or doing Jiu Jitsu, and seems to have little time for Dancing. So here was my scheme: I post this great mix on my blog, and if you like it, send him a pestering message on his myspace, complementing him first, but then demanding he come out and play sometime. Or at least answer the phone.

I don't know the track names of most of these, so they're all untitled, but if anyone wants to work on a tracklisting, I can replace this version with a properly coded one.

Here is a Booty mix by Pep labeled "Footwerk" [Zshare Link Here]

Remix Thursday #10: Just Music

Its been a nice couple weeks for this blog. I mean, much as these incessant Geico commercials keep telling me: If you wanna make a lot of friends, giving away Crydamoure tracks--not a bad idea! And so i've been wondering how to keep all of you, my new internet pals, in my life. I really am going to continue to post things every day, and to really make this worthwhile for everyone. I may stop posting "Remix Thursdays" soon (unless you all think otherwise), and just start putting up good music more consistently (without the rules, and without stealing Palms Out's thing--they're really good at it too). I'm gonna call this Remix Thursday #10 this time, but honstly, its just a collection of music i've found this week that i'm a-likin'.

First up, are two new (to me) remixes by Live Element. One of the bad things about having a great band and a mediocre name is that NOBODY CAN FIND YOU ON THE INTERNET! They dont have a myspace, and googling "Live Element" only gets me a rock band from the UK that sounds a bit too much like Creed for my comfort. If anything knows about these folks, please leave a comment about it, and/or email me, because i've been wondering for a while. Learning about Live Element's 2 big hits nearly knocked me out of bed (this would have been bad, as I was stuck in bed with a herniated disc). Could you imagine how frustrating it is to not be able to dance to this shit!?!? Here are said hits for your perusal.

And here are the two remixes. Again, they're not new-new, but they've helped me get my disco fix, in a week full of it.

Wandering around the interwebs this week, i revisited one of my favorites blogs that i can't understand at all, Boule a Facettes, I came across a couple tracks from a new album on the [fucking awesome] Get Physical Label, Body Language, Vol. 5, mixed by Chateau Flight. I have reposted these below, because i think they are great, as is the whole album really, with a lot of groovy Space Disco and Tech-house, including a new track by my boy Terje.

Sneakily pulling some tracks off of Boule (view that source, people), I saw that one originally came from another site, the Beeb Blog. This Beeb fellow hasn't been doing this for too long, but he clearly gets it, as nearly everything i have read on this sight is on point, running the spectrum of "shit Ethan likes", from Kylie to SebastiAn. Here are three new ones (again, maybe just to me) that Big Brother Beeb schooled me on. Read: New Green Velvet, friends. Apparently this (LaLaLaLaLa) is the track that DJ Heather was playing on Tuesday night that was killing us. And the new SebastiAn is fucking great.

So thats it, amigos. Another evening spent inside blogging, when i should have been out partying, but from a look at the calendar, there should be plenty of that to go around this weekend.

Sweet dreams.
