MP3: THIS SONG MAKES ME WANT TO DO THE TWIST

Carter — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 21:08:31 +0000

I dragged James to an A Life Once Lost show, he lost his shit. And he doesn’t like metal. <3 those dudes. Doug is the nicest fucking ripping guitar player of all time. Also: i’ve been drinking gin at lunch…

Surreal Atrocites – A Life Onc…

QUITE POSSIBLY THE GREATEST SONG EVER WRITTEN

MP3: Winter Flowers – “Misty Morning Land”

Winter Flowers – “Misty Morning Land”

This track came out in 2006. How I missed it, I have no idea. It’s baroque influenced abstract Laurel Canyon folk at it’s best. Confused? I might be too actually… If you like the idea of the Mamas & The Papas playing with Final Fantasy, you will like this. It’s so hypnotic, I might just want to join a cult and roam around Malibu Canyon. Enjoy.

MP3: My Favorite Remix So Far This Morning This Most Likely Change Soon

LCD Soundsystem – \”Tribulations\” (Lindstrom Mix)

Goddamnit, I totally rediscovered this jam and a half this morning. Released on Introns which was some sort of LCD Soundsystem B-Side/Remix Comp (which includes the astoundingly good “Yr City’s A Sucker”), this Lindstrom remix of “Tribulations” is a booty shaker. The vocal stabs at the end are AWESHUMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.

NEW MUSIC: SURFER BLOOD – “SWIM (TO REACH THE END)”

Surfer Blood – Swim (To Reach the End) – (Right Click To Download)

Well I stole this song from Pitchfork, because they’re the only people that had an MP3 of it. Prior to that we were forced to choke on the proverbial grizzle of that god for saken myspace player. It’s funny, you can’t stream a fucking microsecond of a song most of the time, but boy howdy they remember to serve you an ad over the player.

So for once, and you know you’ve wronged me PF (REALLY WRONGED me), thank you Pitchfork.

On to the music: This song is fucking fantastic. The conceited bloggeratzis will just say “this is just ripping off Band Of Horses.” Yes, there’s a shit ton of reverb on the vocals, but the arrangement is pure power-pop wonderment. Get your head out of your ass. Taking cues from the better parts of Weezer’s back catalog, the band twists Cuomo and Co.’s penchant for the crisp and clean (save Pinkerton) wildly into the world of lo-fi/no-fi. It seems to be all the rage these days. Throwing in a bit of Cheap Trick goodness doesn’t hurt either – and I HATE Cheap Trick.

Put this jam on, you’ll feel like you’re driving in West Palm Beach with the band after a high school football game. Home-made meth optional. Aren’t kids down there in to huffing anyway?

Go team go.

MP3: NEW FUTUREHEADS – BEGINNING OF THE TWIST

Carter — Thu, 22 May 2008 06:25:42 +0000

Oh boy did I love the first Futureheads record. It ripped my face off. First Day, Robot, A To B. Those tracks were AMAZING! The second album didn’t do it for me, but this third self-released album seems to bridge the psycho Jam infused rock jams with the pop-single songwriter of News & Tributes. Stream it below.

MP3: NEW RATATAT – “SHILLER”

Carter — Sun, 18 May 2008 05:59:04 +0000

I really dug Ratatat’s first album. Wasn’t so sure about the second. And now with their new tracks leaking out (see link below), I’m not so sure about this new one. What’s up with the autoharp? It’s a bit loud in the mix no? Whatever. You be the judge. Click the link below the photo.
