Minnesnowta

So I'm stuck here in the land o lakes this winter; far far away from bluebird skies, deep powder, and perfect early morning corduroy. Couldn't be happier! Everybody in CO, defiantly take advantage of the opportunities in the Rockies. At least I have some new ski movies to watch. Thank god for Level 1, Poorboyz, and TGR...

New Music for 2009

Little Boots

-

Ill finally post some music for those lucky few who read this. These are all bands and songs that are really going to blow up in 2009. So I'm gonna call it here, on this website, that you heard it here first (and possibly other websites). So lets enjoy these songs before they become Paper Planes and lets discover these bands before they become the next MGMT.

First off is Little boots, which song stuck on repeat is literally stuck on repeat (on my ipod). It's amazing...
Little Boots - Stuck on Repeat

And then here is a electro-rock kinda band called Late of the Pier. These guys are great if your more in rock music.
Late of the Pier - Broken

Now for Passion Pit: this band is seriously going to get huge, and probably because of this song. Sleepyhead seriously is an amazing song, one that could be the next Paper Planes, and I mean that in the best way possible. LISTEN TO THIS SONG OVER AND OVER!
Passion Pit - Sleepyhead

Finally for all you hip-hop fans, this is the band that is going to be the biggest in 2009, hands down. If you haven't heard of The Knux yet, or heard the song Bang Bang, then you will soon. Starting right now...
The Knux - Bang Bang


So there you go folks. Welcome to 2009

I Wish I Was This Clever in High School...

Do You Know How Big a Bus Is?

New Justice

Well, this isn't exactly new. But Justice released their live DVD/CD on November 22nd, and I've found some of the songs off the CD. If you have seen Justice live, then you realize how excited I am about this, and if you haven't, here is a taste. I can't get over how much I love these guys. All the tracks are live performances, kinda like the live Daft Punk CD. Phantom 1.5 is insane. GO AND PURCHASE A CROSS THE UNIVERSE!

Justice - Two Minutes to Midnight

Justice - DVNO (Live)

Justice - Phantom Pt. 1.5

Outdoor Education

The Voleurz video is out. The one that I posted earlier that features snowboarding, skiing, AND skateboarding. Its really sick, in fact so sick, that I will post it for all to watch...

Turkey Day Goodies

First, Happy Thanksgiving. Let us all be thankfull for good music. That being said, I was browsing the MP3 library today over at Stereogum, and I found one of the coolest remixes I think I've ever heard. It's a collaboration of Radiohead and Del Tha Funky Homosapien. I know, crazy right? Just listen to it...

Radiohead - Videotape (Amplive Remix Ft. Del Tha Funky Homosapien)

Also because I'm in the giving mood, I'm going to post some other good songs I think you will enjoy. The first one is from the Album Leaf, and it is guaranteed to put you in a nice, relaxing mood.

The Album Leaf - The Outer Banks

This one is from a band I just heard of yesterday and I love the song. Check it...

British Sea Power - Waving Flags

And finally, how about one more Radiohead remix, because I'm listening to it right now as I type and I like what I hear.

Radiohead - Nude (Holy Fuck Remix)


Lets all get eat and be lazy like this little guy...

Introducing: Mr. Ryme D!

It's the Boys Noize!

Sorry for the lack of posts people who look at this blog. I'm not gonna lie to you, Ive been lazy. BUT, I'm now here to tell you about a really good artist that if you like electronic music, you'll like this. It's Boys Noize. He has some pretty epic songs, especially & Down. Also a quality re-mixer person. I recomend buying (getting) the album Oi Oi Oi. Check out some good shit below...

Boys Noize - & Down (This song is neat)

Feist - My Moon My Man (Boys Noize Remix)

Cut Copy - Lights and Music (Boys Noize Remix)

Boys Noize - NeOh!Pen (Danger Remix)

More on Danger later...

Jesus Christ!!!

The Slingshot Orchestra

A good music blog where I get a lot of music ideas from is Beats. I highly recommend checking it out (daily). Anyways, Beats turned me on to this band called Microfilm, and they released an album called The Slingshot Orchestra. It has a great eerie, minimalist electronic trance-like vibe to it. I dunno what genre that is really, but I dig it. Check out a couple of the songs below, and then go and buy the CD.

Microfilm - Fox and His Friends

Microfilm - Teenage Symphonies

Space Rock Opera

Obama won yesterday, and not that I care too much, but thank god Sarah Palin is nowhere near the white house. I mean, I could tolerate McCain I guess, but Palin seriously is the worst. But, she lost and I am happy because of it. To celebrate, lets talk Justice. With the combination of Daft Punk's A.L.I.V.E. tour and populatirty of Justice over the past 2 years, electronic music has made a strong and amazing comeback (if you wanna call it that). Justice's Cross was probably my favortie album of 2007. Other than remixes, they havent relased any orginal material since Cross. This is kind of old news in the blog scene, but recently they released a 4 part, original space rock opera that was used in some Dior fashion show thing. Part 4 is an all new original track that wasnt at the fashion show, and its amazing. The track(s) are called Planisphère and they were released for free online. It truly is classic, epic Justice. All 4 parts are below: Enjoy

Justice - Planisphère (Part 1)

Justice - Planisphère (Part 2)

Justice - Planisphère (Part 3)

Justice - Planisphère (Final)


And for some more good shit, one of my favorite Justice remixes:
Justice - Phantom Pt. II (Boys Noize Unreleased Turbine)
