I am oh so sicky today. Booooo.
But did I mention I am starting a quarterly queer dance party in Ottawa called Q-BOUNCE?
Join up at http://q-bounce.ca for further updates. QUEER BASS UNDERGROUND, and all that fun stuff.
A$AP Rocky - Out of This World: Super hypey rapper doesn't quite suck as everoyne wishes he did. More News at 11.
Amy Lee - Halfway Down the Stairs (The Muppets cover)
Rachael Yamagata - I'm Going to Go Back There Someday (The Muppets cover)
Weezer - Rainbow Connection ft Hayley Williams (The Muppets cover): I'll save you the temptation. The Green Album is covers of Muppets classics by superstar adult contepmorary pop artists. These are the best Muppet songs, and thankfully the artists that do them don't entirely butcher them, even though the production is straight-up Imogen Heap. And if you can get by the bkacup vox on the Yamagata track sounding straight from a Glee soundtrack, it's one of the greatest emotional triggers ever.
Ane Brun - Do You Remember: Yeah so here's the deal: If you don't like this song you just have no soul. Not in the "appropriating black culture" kind of way, but in the "omg you must be a spiritually devoid zombie beast" kind of way.
Bassnectar - Teleport Massive (RJD2 Remix): The normally cold Bassnectar productions get some welcome warmth from breakbeat master RJD2. So good.
Carrousel - 14: Appropriately swelling singer/songwriter goodness.
Gem Club - Twins: Chris Garneau emotiveness with a tender instrumental section. From the new album Breakers.
GuMMy†Be_R! - Cognitive Ascension: The new release TIME isn't so hot, but at least he hasn't abandoned his production aesthetic like so many of the other witchers. This track is pretty hot.
James Vincent McMorrow - If I Had A Boat: OK, so maybe I have a thing for emo male voices this week.
Kid Koala - Main Title Theme (Open Your Book)
Kid Koala - Speed of Light (Page 102): Making a soundtrack to your book, with page references? EXCELLENT IDEA. Making it one of the most tender instrumental records of the year? BESTEST IDEA. Highly recomended.
Lana Del Rey - Video Games (Jamie Woon Remix): The original is a touch silly. but Woon works it in all the right ways.
Male Bonding - Year's Not Long: The new album Nothing Hurts falls somewhere between Dinosaur Jr. and Japandroids, but with the muffed out garage fuzz that I can't quite fully love yet.
Pole - Wipfel: Hey! Remember Pole? Oh come on, you remember Pole.... Remember back when Clicks N Cuts was a thing? No? *sigh* Oh you people. Well he's back with Waldgeschichten and those that know will enjoy.
St. Vincent And The National - Sleep All Summer: Yeah some duets are just handed to us straight from the gods. srsly.
Sutekh - Fire Weather: Evil dub minimal bass OK!
Warm Brew - Nothin From Nothin: Feel good sunshine beats + rhymes for the dark days of November.
Zola Jesus - Lick The Palm Of The Burning Handshake
Zola Jesus - Shivers: The new album Conatus doesn't quite do it for me like the last one. Alas. But I like these tracks.
