MP3 blog 2015/09/30

blog 2015/09/30 - chopping away at the veneer of respectability

Mutually we all wallow:  http://thetastates.com/mp3s/blog/blog20150930.zip



Against Me! - Black Me Out (live)
Against Me! - FUCKMYLIFE666 (live)
Against Me! - Transgender Dysphoria Blues (live):  23 Live Sex Acts is for the Against Me! completest, I do declare.  I loved the last album, but so many of the anthems just fall flat for me.  The new material still sizzles, but yeah we're not teenage anarchists any more and the nostalgia is faded.  Like so many live albums, this is for the true fans.

Dan Lissvik - Airwalk
Dan Lissvik - Shuvit!:  Lissvil has always been a sublimely aces producer, and these tracks from Shuvit! demand your total groove devotion.

Doe - Julia Survived:  Rock out from the First Four LP.

Jamie xx - Gosh
Jamie xx - Sleep Sound:  OH GOSH INDEED. In Colour is all sorts of amazing.  Just go buy it.  Just go.  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Pixies - Gigantic:  I am continuing my swim through all of the Pixies remasters, and here's a great little number from Surfer Rosa circa 1988.

Run The Jewels - Close Your Eyes And Meow To Fluff (George Barrow Remix)
Run The Jewels - Creown (The Alchemist Remix)
Run The Jewels - Meowpurrdy ft Lil Bub & Snoop Dogg, Maceo & Delonte (El-P Remix)
Run The Jewels - Paw Due Respect (Blood Diamonds Remix):  HOOOOOLLLLLYYYYY SHHHIIIIITTTTTT ARE YOU EVEN READY?  No you're not.  Time to get knocked the hell down.  MEOW THE JEWELS IS HERE!  If you haven't downloaded it yet, go and do so, as it's free.  Go buy a physical copy and all profits go to charity.  Calling it now:  these beats are better than Yeezus.  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

The Mountain Goats & Kaki King - Black Pear Tree
The Mountain Goats & Kaki King - Supergenesis
The Mountain Goats & Kaki King - Thank You Mario But Our Princess Is In Another Castle:  Woah, another great surprise I stumbled on!  Black Pear Tree EP came out 2008 but I just found it now and ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I want to compile a mixtape of all of the MG songs featuring women vocals, because there are a few and they are all pretty great but woah Black Pear Tree, an unstoppable force.  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Thomas Scholz - Mimesis (Rampue Remix):  Lowkey ecstatic electronic blissout

Two Gallants - Incidental:  Fab rock from We Are Undone.

MP3 blog 2015/09/22

blog 2015/09/22 - bastion of poor faith

all of the rarest pepes can't bail you out:  http://thetastates.com/mp3s/blog/blog20150922.zip



Beirut - August Holland
Beirut - Gibraltar
Beirut - So Allowed:  The new album No No No is a delight.  It's lovely.  No, it's not quite as amazing as his prior albums, but that's like comparing a A- to a string of A+s.  Still: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Cathedrals - Harlem (BØRNS x Tommy English Remix):  Perfect electro pop nugget.

Chick Quest - Explain Yourself to a Bat:  You just gotta start trying it.

Island Apollo - Lion Eyes:  Just imagine an 80s glam rocker leaning on his mic stand towards the camera singing this.

KloË - Grip:  Epic soaring, release the eagles!

Pixies - Debaser
Pixies - Here Comes Your Man:  Oh hey a few years ago the Pixies albums were rereleased, so going through those again.  Here's 2 from the Doolittle remaster.

Quasimoto - Astronaut
Quasimoto - Catchin' The Vibe
Quasimoto - Seasons Change:  Yessir Whatever came out in 2013, a collection of bsides and rarities and reworks and such.  And it's probably one of the best Quas albums thanks to it's conciseness.  RECOMMENDED.

Sean McCann - Character Change
Sean McCann - Reservations / An Exchange of Courtesies pts. 1 & 2:  Music for Private Ensemble is an absolute delight and a surprise.  Fusing lush textural ambience with contemporary classical, I have nothing but love for this release.  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Suffix - Come With Us:  Sweet pitched vox + bass.  God I'm good at coming up with genre names.

The Mountain Goats - Blood Capsules:  New Mountain Goats single!  I think this was a record store day thing.  It's awesome.  Flipside was a dubbed instrumental, so uhhhh kinda perfect.

Window - Ytopi:  This is just some bomb beats idm goodness.

MP3 blog 2015/09/10: Daphne Music Vol. 005

blog 2015/09/10 - Daphne Music vol 005
   
back on the dace floor:  http://thetastates.com/mp3s/blog/blog20150910-daphne005.zip


It has been too long and so we are back with another mix of favourite songs of my daughter!


Not much to explain here, except, say, the Lykke Li.  It might be a bit of a pacing shock, but let me explain.

Lykke Li came on during a car ride and my daughter started asking about why the song was sad.
Then soon after she kept saying "I want the sad song!" on subsequent rides.
Eventually she started singing along to the songs, improvising lyrics as to why Lykke Li was sad, and what we could do to make her feel better.  (Give her hugs and kisses.)
