Vicarious Bliss vs. Sébastien Tellier – La Ritournelle (Repirse)

Vicarious Bliss and Sébastien Tellier team up to rework this amazing track that is just so versatile and good. This time the duo turns this song into a track that New Order would approve of. Fantastic Peter Hook-esque bassline. Cheers.

MSTRKRFT – VUVUVU

 

A small clip of MSTRKRFT’s new track that apparently every DJ has been asking them for. It is some hardcore, sweaty, raw House. They spun this when I saw them in Brooklyn a few weeks ago, intense stuff.
 

 

A few words from JFK’s MSTRKRFT message board.
 

yes, this is VUVUVU.

the track after it is an unreleased crookers remix i re-edited.

glad you like VUVUVU… that break was the most complicated midi problem we ever had. we had to use calculators even. seriously.

EDIT: i perfer this video of it, even though the sound isnt as good. http://youtube.com/watch?v=Z0Ubvr0ywy4

xavier from justice named it sorta… we were talking about the music we make and he said that they make “BOOM CRACK BOOM CRACK” music and we make ” VU VU VU” music. hahah. we figured this was the most VU VU VU a song could possibly be.

yup.

NASA Audio Dept.

 

NASA records the sounds of Saturn
 

NASA’s head engineers in their Audio Department:
Aphex Twin – Windowlicker
Daft Punk – Touch It / Technologic
Para One – J’aimerias Bien
 

Apparently Windowlicker was the track that inspired Daft Punk to write Discovery, as it showed the infinite possibilities within electronic music. This live version of Technoligic is very reminiscent of Aphex Twin with the laser beam like synth sounds and of course robotic vox. Para One is going to be the next Aphex Twin so everyone take note and watch out.
 

 

A brief description of Para One’s research techniques in communicating with the cosmos and cultivating the invisible that is Space:

Menomena & Minus The Bear

It was 2002, my sophomore year of high school and my friend who just graduated gave me a cd full of bands
that I still listen to today during a time when all I listened to was the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Incubus. Minus The Bear, The Planet The, and Menomena were on that cd. All bands from the Northwest, Minus the Bear from Seattle and The Planet The and Menomea from Portland, the hipster haven for those Green indie-lectuals. Minus The Bear I consider to be a major part of my soundtrack of my life. The Planet The were an awesome prog synth band that surprised me.

And Menomena I band that I fell in love with after hearing this song:
Menomena – The Great Late Libdo (Off “I am the Fun Blame Monster”)

I had the pleasure of seeing Menomena perform live this past Friday and was blown away by them. They reminded me of Van Der Graaf Generator whenever singer, Justin Harris would play baritone sax and play his Moog Taurus, a staple synth of 70 prog rock bands. Menomena is a band that I see going places in the future. They have a sound that is so pop with their amazing 3 part harmonies and multi-tasking instrumentation that is tasteful. The drummer, Danny Seim is a gentle giant that pounded the drums with such ease and established grooves that were linear and reminded me of a percussion section in an orchestra. The keyboardist/guitarist/glockenspier, Brent Knopf provided the band with a class and sophistication through his well thought piano parts that Debussy or Gershwin would enjoy. Overall Menomena is a band that, “musicates”, striking a balance between technical musicianship and pop craftsmenship while leaving space for the imagination to fill in those gaps.

Radiohead & New Order

 

Radiohead covers Ceremony by New Order!!! This is the most amazing thing ever. This is one of my favorite New Order songs and this soldifies my faith in Radiohead as being the greatest band in the world today. They also covered Bjork’s “Unravel” and The Smiths “The Headmaster Ritual”. Tis a good day.
 

Cheers and much love.

Here is a bootleg track from one of two performances Vincent Gallo & Sean Lennon did in 2004. Vincent is palying bass and Sean is playing guitar and Nikolai Haas, Lukas Haas’ younger brother is playing drums and this is his first show ever. Rothko was a great tiny venue in the Lower East Side but was shut down a year ago. Enjoy!

Radiohead & Squarepusher

Radiohead Webcast this Friday?

Here is Thom, Colin, & Jonny spinning on the BBC Breezeblock during the Kid A days. Apparently Thom Yorke owns the entire Warp Records discography. I personally love the fact they open with Louis Armstrong, St. James Infirmary.
