Kiss Kiss Fantastic

Straightforward my ear canal got soaked in with this solid piece of glitchy Psych-Synth-Pop which is nerved by dreamy and detached Vocals. Seriously, it almost happened faster than in realtime. Have a listen!

Japayork - Our Now



JAPAYORK is a 22 year old graphic designer and filmography who's started making music; quite good music, too.

Oh, and he's called Japayork because he grew up in Japan and New York. (I personally think the name is a bit sucky... sorry... but hey, the music's good!)

Mixtape: Spring Tape No Spring Break


Video: OK Go - "This Too Shall Pass"

While i'm not the biggest OK Go fan, their new video is, yet again, undeniably brilliant.
A must see.

Youtube description:
"Directed by James Frost, OK Go and Syyn Labs. Produced by Shirley Moyers. The official video for the recorded version of "This Too Shall Pass" off of the album "Of the Blue Colour of the Sky". The video was filmed in a two story warehouse, in the Echo Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, CA. The "machine" was designed and built by the band, along with members of Synn Labs over the course of several months."



Note: Due to the immense detail in the video, it's best to watch it in big.

you and i buy star maps and drive my car around los angeles

you and i buy star maps and ding dong ditch a televangelist

it's only been a week

but i know that you are mine to keep

you are a radar detector

i drive 1,000 miles an hour

i won't go on and on

but you are always looking out for me

you and i go shopping and find exactly what we're looking for

you and i go shopping and fall asleep inside the mattress store.

we cruise the neighborhood

but it's not supposed to feel this good

(chorus)

you are a radar detector

(chorus)

when i'm driving around, you are a radar detector

Guru better after heart attack

Yesterday I posted some Monday Memories and decided to include "99.9%" by Jeru Da Damaja instead of Gang Starr's "Full Clip". Little did I know that at the time, Gang Starr's Guru was already lying in a coma after having suffered a heart attack. Luckily, it's now been confirmed that he is on the road to recovery after surgery.

So to celebrate: put your penis back in your trousers, turn off chatroulette and enjoy the music:


Foals - Spanish Sahara




A fantastic new Song and a stunning Video! Obviously their sound got less frenetic and and lost a bit of its squirrellity. Its in any case better than just casting hitpearls before swine!

I'm fine with that variation and a more grown-up-style (whatever that means). Looking for forward to Foals second album »Total Life Forever« which will be released on May 10th.

Die Sunderbarns, ein Trio aus London, benannt nach einem West-Bengalischen Nationalpark der unter anderem mehr als 250 Bengalische Tiger beheimatet. Sie liefern eine tolle Mischung aus Post-Punk und Folk ab und veröffentlichen heute die erste 7 inch auf Young and Lost Club.

Was das mit dem Nationalpark zu tun hat?
Ich habe keine Ahnung.
