The first release from Dimitri from Paris and DJ Rocca? Unstoppably radical. Unfathomably, even. So the kids were kickin' it like, "How can we make the dude Friendly Greg this happy again?" And boom! Pet Shop Boys cover! And not just any ol' Pet Shop Boys song! One of my favorites! "Domino Dancing" is the ultimate jam, and this is the ultimate cover. Party rock!
My acquaintances Tubetops are so neat! They are neat people who make neat music! They did a neat thing today! They released their debut album for free! It's very neat! I highly suggest you download it here!
OK. So tonight. Tonight I'm opening for Matt Heckman. So I'll be at 49 Grove from 10-12. Then I'm party rocking the basement of LPR with the Pants Dance crew. Plus Anna Lunoe. And Julius Sylvest. And La Fitz. Spinning there from 2-4. And from 12-2? Drinking. Or taking a nap in the DJ booth of a club. Let's play it by ear.
See that picture up there? Swear to everything good and holy. That's the most Tubetops thing I've ever seen. James is crooning. Because yeesh, does that dude ever shut up? Christ almighty. And Algy? Light plaid shirt. Mega handsome stubble. What a stud, no? Mike with the ill cardigan. And ayo. Everyone. Peep Kev. Shouts to Kev for being secure enough in his awesomeness to be the only kid drinking a tall boy instead of a 40 in his band's press picture. (Weak.)
So anyways. Handsomeness and overall awesomeness of the crew aside. Peep these new Tubetops songs. They're sew, sew, sew ticey. Debut EP dropping on December 8th. Self-titled. God, it's gonna rock so intensely. I'm so proud of my friends. What awesome people. Musicians and gentlemen. Male models and role models.
Also. New single from The Knocks. Featuring Gary Go. "Magic." I'd write about how good it is, but I kinda gotta go brush my teeth. Just listen to it. It's good, blah, blah, it's great, etc. It's The Knocks, you know it's gonna be quality.
My "friend" Blaz owes me a lot of money. And it's annoying. Like. Ayo Blaz, gimme my money. Ayo Blaz, you can't pay me in awesome remixes of "Aquamarine." Ayo Blaz, stop listening to Annie Mac so heavy on Fridays. Ayo Blaz, you're good peoples. Ayo Blaz, what up? Ayo, songs are radical!
In other news. Does Theophilus London have crazy terrible posture or something? Or is he just walking like that for the video? Because I've got truly awful posture. And I guess I'm just trying to find some common ground with Theophilus, you know? To help me have a more personal connection to his art, right? Anyways, I love this song and blah, blah, blah:
We chatted briefly about DJ Dodger Stadium and Body High a few weeks ago. Remember? I was all hype about sharing their Stadium Status EP with y'all? But none of the tracks were available on the internet? Is any of this ringing a bell? Anywho, the video for the title track can be found below. This is what Drive would've been like if the soundtrack had revolved around DJ Dodger Stadium instead of Kavinsky. Am I right?
Also. New tracks from my old friends Tubetops. Totally super cool. Plus a remix from another friend, Glowing Pains. Radical! Radical, radical, radical, totally radical! The tunes? Radical. The artwork? Also radical. Everything about this is crazy radical. Good job, friends!
Lots of musics from a couple of friends today. First up comes some tune action from my pals Tubetops. Various versions of Tubetops (see: Joe Booty) have accomplished various things (see: opening for Maino, the "Relax" music video), but this here lineup just might be the best yet. The lads just wrapped up a remix of Bodega Girls' "School Night." Rinse, rinse:
And then there's my boy Dash Speaks. You know, the one I DJ at The Blind Barber with on the first Wednesday of everything month? Yea, him. Anyways, he just released his new project The Eastern Bloc Series. You may or may not hear a couple of these tracks tomorrow night at Almost Famous. Do come.
And lastly, be sure to check out In Flagranti's remix of Hercules and Love Affair's "Painted Eyes." Reminds me a lot of the "Hoppy Bunny" episode of Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Because there's a flute in it and I have a piss poor attention span, that is.
