11/5/11 Wavelength of the Moment: K-swag

So James Brooks, one half of electronic pop outfit Elite Gymnastics, just wrote this awesome piece on "K-Wave," which is the kind of Korean pop music badassery that resulted in the above video. It features playboy bunnies (and playboy headphones!!!), two flamboyantly-clad Korean gentlemen rapping about bling & swag, and a fucking tank. Plus Diplo produced it. You actually have no reason not to hit play on this.

Hell, download that shit. It found its way onto my ipod in a nanosecond.

This is a motherfucking double combo.

Lobster out.

10/31/11 Wavelength of the Moment: Nu Shlohmo Videoh

Shlohmo - Trapped In A Burning House (Official Video)

We have finally been granted an official video from one of our favorite albums of the year, Bad Vibes: a haunted, hallucinatory, Halloween-ready trip through the woods, directed and edited by the man himself: Henry Laufer, alias Shlohmo.

An unsettling enigma from beginning to end (not unlike its musical source material), this video does an excellent job of showcasing Laufer's tact in visual storytelling: nothing is explicated, no answers await the perplexed viewer when they reach the end of this dark journey – only elusive images of windows and silhouettes, like distant memories briefly flitting in and out of our consciousness as we are dragged through the dim forest...

You gotta check out Bad Vibes if you haven't heard it yet. Shlohmo's making some really beautiful sounds right now, and we can't wait for what comes next (dance music, apparently).

Go iTunes that shit.

Lobster out.

Cook, Clean, Pay the Rent (New House Version) - Teebs

New Teebs track being passed around in honor of his upcoming release on Brainfeeder, Collections 01. On some real ethereal shit, gotta love what this dude does with samples.


And on a less exciting note, it's likely that I'll be reducing my posting to more like once a week from now until the new year...unfortunately (for you dear readers), I've been cast in a production of "Hamlet," and as one can imagine, rehearsing for that is gonna take up a shitton of my (previously free) time. So hopefully patkins will be able to pick up my copious slack. Though it's also possible that I'll still manage to post more than him.

Return to the Interstellar Plane

Hello out there! Here i am, floating back from the depths of space to make my return to the blog. I've missed you, and i've been listening to lotsa thangs. Heres a dump of tracks for.. well.. listening. Look for the zip, and a special video gift at the end...

Session Cats - Flying Lotus
From the 2006 demo tape, super hip-hoppy and dilla-y (?). Comin out of nowhere, FlyLo


Party Animal - Hudson Mohawke
NEW HUDSON MOHAWKE. HudMo gives Gucci Mane a whole new context with this lovely little party starter. This is from Pleasure Principle, a limited vinyl-only release with a handful of pop remixes. If you can get your hands on it, I highly suggest you do.


Latenight - TOKiMONSTA
From Bedtime Lullabies, came out in 2008. If you can tell me in the comments which more recent song samples this one, i'll give you a prize....


Safari Disco Club - Yelle
You gotta love the intro to this song... and the whole song. Even though i can't quite understand what Yelle is saying (read: its in french), i'm taken away by the synth dance pop.


Hairy Candy - Tobacco
Tobacco is one member of Black Moth Super Rainbow, an all-analog psychedelic group. They remind me a little of the rolling stones, but even more synths... glorious


Forever Heavy - Black Moth Super Rainbow
I mentioned these guys above. Look at their name. You know you have to hear this.


That Girl (Salva Remix) - Pharell Ft. Snoop Dogg
Salva gives the treatment. Somewhat minimal but as such super clean. Salva does some really great shit with his percussion in this track.


Transmission - Terracotta Blue
Submitted to us! Pretty neat, especially the out-of-time sounds towards the end. Its like beat music meets chillwave.


Hot N Cold (Yelle Remix) - Katy Perry
DANSE DANSE DANSE DANSE


Cruel - St. Vincent
On a different note - some new St. Vincent. If you don't know St. Vincent, you should definitely check her out - there is some beautiful musicmaking going on here.

They just keep comin'.



gah. so freakin good. brilliant animation, written to a psychadelic groove...put this on your "watch-while-stoned" queues. (though it's still great sober)

BONUS: two bangers by Mux Mool and Devonwho respectively, found over at 92bpm (GREAT BLOG, FOLLOW IT). Mind-blowingly deep kick drums on the Mux Mool joint, thick dense bass on the Devonwho. Whip out your headphones/subwoofer and prepare to have your soul massaged.

BONUS part deux: another banger, courtesy of XLR8R (what a boss website), this one a remix of Shigeto (who I will post on SOON) by Mike Slott. Who is the fuckin tits. Want proof? Check out his INCREDIBLE remix of Flying Lotus:

El Guincho - Bombay

El Guincho - Bombay from CANADA on Vimeo.

Who gives a fuck if its all in spanish? this song is a jam. I first heard this while in training at WMFO (my schools radio station) and my trainer played this on his show... i picked it up immediately and drenched myself in its Animal Collective-ness. And then i saw the video. Awesome track, i recommend the whole album.
