MP3 blog 2014/06/24

blog 2014/06/24 - once we were cold by the window

Now we are naked on the floor:  http://thetastates.com/mp3s/blog/blog20140624.zip


Agnes Obel - The Curse:  With the vocals way up high, this might as well be classic Tori Amos via Joplin.  From the 2013 album Aventine.

Faith No More - Greenfields:  An odd choice of a b-side in general, but not too far fetched considering their other covers.  This goes back to the 1995 Digging The Grave single.

Frikstailers - Sudaka Invasor:  unnnnf some great bangin' ish.

Gideon - Spanish Guitar
Gideon - This Summer:  Pop-edged tech done totally perfect.

Goldmund - Readers:  Piano + drone ambient makes me alllll swoony.  From the album The Heart Of High Places.

Imharhan Timbuktu - Akal Warled:  This is my kickback jam.

Massacooramaan - Wijd:  My favourite grime vs footwurk beat in like forever?  Yes.

Matthew E. White - Gone Away:  Put this on a mix with some of the hungover Ween ballads and the less bombastic Girls favourites.  From the album Big Inner.

Polysics - Good (Pizzicato Five cover):  good?  GOOD.

Royal Teeth - Wild:  Threatens the edge of a bit too much pop, but just hold the fuck on.

Sharon Van Etten - Afraid of Nothing
Sharon Van Etten - Break
Sharon Van Etten - Every Time the Sun Comes Up:  Gah this album Are We There is devastatingly good.  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

The Front Bottoms - Twin Size Mattress:  I'm on a nerdy rock blissout all over this.

Ty Segall - The Hill
Ty Segall - You're the Doctor:  I had heard other Ty Segall before and just wasn't in to it, so I slept on Twins and now really dig this one, with it's crunchy Beatles tribute sound.

MP3 blog 2014/06/10

blog 2014/06/10 - the 4 plagues in your bedroom

That dull ticking sound:  http://thetastates.com/mp3s/blog/blog20140610.zip


Chord - Doesn't Change
Chord - Hanging On To What I Know:  This should be the speed of your soul.  Total grooves from the album Broken.

Death Grips - Takyon (Death Yon) (Drastik Adhesive Force Unofficial Remix):  DG can't be stopped.  It's a flood.  And now with all of their stems out there?  Get the fuck ready.

Do Make Say Think - New Grass (Talk Talk cover)
Duncan Sheik - Life's What You Make It (Talk Talk cover):  Double album Spirit Of Talk Talk collects a wide variety of people to take a stab at the classics.  It's OK.  Mostly just OK.  Some real great stuff, but I guess the qualifier is how many do the original justice and offer something new with it?  

EMA - Cthulu
EMA - So Blonde:  Guys, The Future's Void is kind of amazing.  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Ginormous - Byproducts Of Stress And Boredom
Ginormous - Help Illuminate Dark Rooms
Ginormous - To Reveal Interiors:  I took a break to 2006 and dug out some fabbo IDM breakbeats here.

Maad-Moisele - Callin' 4 U:  Won't you answer the call??

Martyn - Red Dancers:  Slick little bassup from the Modeselektion Vol. 02 EP

Torres - Don't Run Away, Emilie
Torres - Moon & Back
Torres - When Winter's Over:  This self-titled album is full of win.  Solid nods to Cat Power, Fiona Apple, Sharon Van Etten, and really just amazing.  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Yuck - Doctors In My Bed:  A little gem hidden on the Yuck B-Sides album.
