1 Year Later, Let's Party, Again

Almost a year later, and I think I'm ready to throw some new stuff at you. The reason I stopped before is that I felt like I was just getting all of my music from a lot of other better blogs and that was cheap. But to be honest, I think I like the idea of bringing it all together for one straight party. I will give credit where it is due when I know where I got something fun, but for now, dance, I say DANCE, just straight party. It is summer, act like it.

We Need References

Fact: I haven't posted in ages.
Fake reason why, that will lead into this post:

It's hard to keep up with other sick blogs like these.

Palms Out Sounds / Amazing "Remix Sunday" posts
Keytars & Violins / Lots of Discotech, electro, pop
Mad Decent Blog / It's Mad Decent, get your passport out
These Rocks Pop / Many remixes, discotech, mixtapes, hip hop, awesome
Distortion Disco / The name says it all
disco-not-disco / Very eclectic, very on-point
Headphone Sex / Tons of great music from the UK and the rest of Europe
Discobelle / If you didn't know, get a clue
Steep and Cheap / Okay, so it's not music, but I'm still obsessed.

So many other great ones out there as well, let me know if you want some more, but I warn you, it gets addicting. Happy hunting, happy dancing.

TEPR = TOTALLY, EXTREMELY, PURE, RAGE

It doesn't really mean that, but its true. Have you ever heard and band and said to you self, "this is so freaking awesome, I need to share this with someone in the next five minutes or I am doing an injustice to mankind," or something similar. TEPR is this band for me. I am going to Germany/Austria in 2 weeks to get this record, well, maybe to hit the slopes, but this will be waiting for me and is almost just as amazing.

Links are courtesy of Palms Out Sounds, home of some amazing Sunday Remixes.

TEPR - "Coke and Cream"
TEPR - "Minuit Jacuzzi" (ft. Grand Marnier)
TEPR - "Ghetto Bounce" (ft. Zucchini Drive)

Also, check out TEPR's MySpace page for some more songs, including "En Direct De La Cote," truly breathtaking.

Track of the Week: The Hold Steady

Today's post will be one of the many "Track of the Week" posts courtesy of someone named Ben.

The Hold Steady - "Stuck Between Stations"

--- "When John Berryman, prominent American poet and suicidal alcoholic, released 77 Songs in 1964, poet Robert Lowell wrote in a review: "At first the brain aches and freezes at so much darkness, disorder and oddness. After a while, the repeated situations and their racy jabber become more and more enjoyable, although even now I wouldn't trust myself to paraphrase accurately at least half of the sections." Lovely enough, the Hold Steady's frontman/poet Craig Finn writes lyrics that create the same feeling. Finn's racy banter wanders and stumbles, weaving an elaborate net of shady characters and after-parties and Midwestern cities that draws us into the shadowy edges of some great drug-splattered suburban drama.

"Stuck Between Stations" is a nod to Berryman himself, with more of Finn's clever intruiging lyrics and literary allusions, stuff like "He likes the warm feeling but he's tired of all the dehydration – most nights are crystal clear but tonight it's like he's stuck between stations". Also present, of course, is the Hold Steady's fantastic, swaggering bar/arena (barena?) rock that will probably make any PBR within 30 feet magically leap into your throat. BandGinA is definitely the Hold Steady's most accessible album, almost to a fault at times, but it's hard for a Separation Sunday fan to not get goosebumps the first time you hear Finn's first reference to the Mississippi river, a common locale in the last album – which, by no coincidence whatsoever, is the same river that flows under the Washington Ave bridge, where John Berryman jumped to his death in '72. Unfortunately, he missed the water altogether and died in the mud of suffocation. Finn sums it up best: "There was that night that we thought John Berryman could fly. But he didn't. So he died." The perfect hero for the perfect bar band – who would most definitely be disappointed if you haven't started drinking yet." ---

Wiley Releases Two Grime Mixtapes

Wiley, one of the greatest UK Grime producers has recently released the first two of his Tunnel Vision mixtapes for the world to experience. This is great for us on this side of the Atlantic to finally get a decent amount of grime action. There will be three more mix tapes in this series and I encourage everyone who can get a hand on them to go for it. Try UKRecordshop.com. For more information and tracklists, check out the RWDMAG Forum.

Head here to get the .zip files for Tunnel Vision Volumes 1 and 2 (zip)

Boy Better Know.

While I'm at it, i can't help but link to this youtube video of The Street's "Pranging Out remix." This remix features an all-star line up of some of Grime's best, including Skepta, Wretch, Ghetto, Tinchy Stryder, D.E. Velopment, Bossman, and Frisco. Youtube is one of our best resources to hear grime here, so take some time and watch some videos.

Rock 'Til You Faint, Birdmonster @ Black Cat

Pictures to come soon, maybe?

I will start things off with a bit about the opening band. The Sammies are the type of opening band that make you rethink you life decision to try and get to the show late so you miss the opening band. They were the perfect segway to a night of rock and roll. The Sammies hail from Charlotte, NC and have the distinct ability to travel through the rock genres in a single show. The highlight of their act came with the finale, "Train Wreck." You can't help but move to a song like this that hits your veins with an intensity and the essence of rock. Even Jimmy with his possibly broken wrist from being hit by a car couldn't resist his desires to jam as intensely as he could through the entirety of the song. Don't miss the Sammie's on the rest of their tour with Birdmonster.

And now we come to the Birdmonster... I took my first listen due to the blog cloud they road in on when I read a quote about how they feel about playing live music. It was as such, "our main goal is to rock so hard one of us faints." (-David, the guitarist, source GvB) I swear that if they had not been hydrating amazingly, this would have come true. When you see a band member other than the lead singer signing along with every song behind the scenes without a mic, you know they are loving what they are doing. They destroyed the back room of Black Cat and left everyone in the crowd in awe of their rock prowess. The crowd could have listened to them all night. Even the cute Princess Lea in front of me turned to ask if the set seemed short. No, it wasn't too short, it was just that it was the type of show that made you want to listen, and made you want to hear more. Afterwards I felt like I wanted to do just about anything, simply because I knew I had been left in a mood that anything I would have been doing anything in a solid state of ecstasy that Birdmonster had left in my soul. Please catch Birdmonster if they are coming to a city anywhere near you. We thank these San Fran gents for a great showing, and look forward to your return.
