you just stay the fuck away from avenue b!

today i bring you another little brooklyn gem, Glass Ghost. (brookyln tunes have really been coming correct as of late if i do say so myself) anyhow i've been sitting on these tracks for the past few weeks wondering if i should post 'em up but i liked how they have this infectious talking heads/clap your hands say yeah pilled out on prozac groove. and i figured this out of nowhere grey day needed a good helping of pep.

their debut album, idol omen, came out at the end of october & here's a little sample for your sunday:

Glass Ghost - Divisions

Glass Ghost - Mechanical Life

the boy was right.

so grizzly bear has just put a remix of the notwist's "boneless" - which in its own right is simply divine. it's pretty good & stays kinda faithful to the original adding a bit of soundclashing bass to the mix.

but nothing, not even the original, caught my ear as much as the panda bear remix did last year. he completely turned it around making it sound like a person pitch b-side & i still can't take it off repeat. i swear everything he touches turns golden.....

The Notwist - Boneless

The Notwist - Boneless (Grizzly Bear Remix)

and the amazing peach pie of the group:

The Notwist - Boneless (Panda Bear Remix)

aguas frescas!

fun. fun. funnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn new video from vampire weekend which is for their second single "cousins" from their second album contra.

this track has been getting a lot of play at my place lately. i've always dug how they're this conservative summer at the hamptons blend of afropop soul dashed with bells, drums, xylophones and whatever else you want to do to make it well.....fun.

so here's a little something to get the party started:


Vampire Weekend - Horchata

Vampire Weekend - Cousins

double your pleasure, double your fun

first video is from berlin's robot koch who just dropped his debut solo album last week on his new label, robots don't sleep. it sounds like a mix mash of electronic beats with some tracks hip to the likes of flying lotus/gaslamp killer.

second video is touched by robot koch as well as he's also part of the band jahcoozi. keeping true to form it's still sweats out a ghettodub feel - enough to make any time a good time.

i like a man who keeps busy like this.
