oh fuck yes, I so deserve this Friday!
My buns! They ache! From working them so hard! Seriously folks, I've been burning the candle at all ends after dipping it in gasoline.
Oh, if you are in Ottawa this weekend, I will be doing the music at the Annie Sprinkle and Elizabeth Taylor wedding to the snow.
No shit!
I'm on a mission to work for all of the legendary porn stars, I guess.
Colin Stetson - A Dream of Water ft Laurie Anderson
Colin Stetson - Red Horse (Judges ll): BEST ALBUM OF 2011 SO FAR. HANDS DOWN. BLOWS THE REST AWAY.
2011 hasn't had many OMGORGASM standouts so far, but this is the first one. "New History Warfare Vol. 2: Judges" is absolutely essential. It's mindblowing. Amazing. Guh. The things this guy does with just one saxophone makes my knees weak.
Dark Dark Dark - Daydreaming: Harkens to the lush folk of Ohbijou, this song is just lovely and perfect "CBC radio" beauty. From the 2010 album "Wild Go".
Delorean - Stay Close (RAC Mix): Oh god this song makes me so frickin' happy. AND THEY ADDED HAND CLAPS. Total ecstasy right there.
Fever Ray - The Wolf: Uhhh did someone say OMGORGASM???? This new Fever Ray gets me oh so hot and bothered. And to think, it came from a new Twilight-esque movie Little Riding Hood. such hoteness.
Jacques Greene - Tell Me (Kingdom Edit)
Jacques Greene - The Look (Koreless Remix): I enthusiastically approve! Tell Me, especially, fuses that post-dubsteppy sound with the deep house grooves we all love. Goodness me.
Lykke Li - I Follow Rivers (The Magician Remix)
Lykke Li - I Know Places: I still haven't listened to the new LP "Wounded Rhymes" but here are some hot singles from it. It's amazing how many BAD remixes of I Follow Rivers are out there...
Rainbow Arabia - Without You (Nguzunguzu Remix): Love love love the percussion. Totally needs some samples of M.I.A. saying "bang." on top of it.
Thao & Mirah - Eleven ft tUnE-YarDs: Oh wow, what a powerhouse threeway. Ladies represent! From the new album "Thao & Mirah", which I haven't heard yet, but I am dying to get my grubby hands on.
The Echelon Effect - We Will Spin Forever: The formula is post-rocky, but the beat-driven side of it conjures up epic Ulrich Schnauss idm tracks.
The Mountain Goats - Estate Sign Sale
The Mountain Goats - For Charles Bronson: eeeeeeee new Mountain Goats! All Eternals Deck, like all Mountain Goats albums, requires simmered repeated listenings, but the number of gems in Darnielle's massive songbook grows and grows.
And fuck, For Charles Bronson is such a brutal fuck you, it's awesome.
This is more more in line with last year's Extra Lens album, a strong rebuttal to the contemplative moods of the previous MG album. Recommended for fans.
When Saints Go Machine - Fail Forever (Nicolas Jaar Remix): Nicolas Jaar is a producer after my own heart. Bless and your pitched-down low bpm blisses.
Young Galaxy - B.S.E.
Young Galaxy - We Have Everything: At first sniff, Shapeshifting reminded me of other dance-pop albums and I was going to pass. But I heard it twice and it really sunk in and there are some really amazing things going on here. Subtley wins over heavy-handedness, and the whole effect is a tad sublime, but all pop glory.
