I'm back again and finally the beginning of Friends of Friends music is within sight. For those who don't know, FoF Music(aka Friends of Friends music) is soon to be a full functioning record label. More details to come... but i CAN tell you that there will be a digital split EP from Daedelus and friends Jogger AND a special guest designer for the t-shirt/cover art!

HIATUS OVERRRRRR

All I can say is I apologies for being absent so long. From here on out semi-regular posts to bore or stimulate you...

Life is beautiful...

All of the following are staples in my head of late. Sorry for the lack of links or music but if you seek these out I think it'll be worth it :)


Sebastian Tellier Sexualty(Lucky Number):

First up is this quirky synth-filled French piece of gold. I wish i had a 2 door convertable in the 80's when I listen to this record...


Hercules and Love Affair Self-Titled (DFA):

All I have to say is that the highs on this record far outweigh the lows and Blind just can't be escaped. It plays in loops in my head.


Booka Shade The Sun and Neon Lights (Get Physical)

They're last record really blew my mind. I'm glad they're back and it's just in time for a semi-bored music junky.

jesus christ! wtf?

this is baffling. i'm pretty sure diddy is on e in this clip.

don't you wish you were in miami this weekend to get down with some "electro-tech" (!)? i'm not too sure why he was so unhappy about the last few WMC conferences, but now i'm curious.  oh, and announcing who the surprise guest is doesn't make it a surprise anymore dumbass.

WoW

Here we have the new video LA band, Bad Dudes for their track Eat Drugs. This shit blew my mind, had to share it

Enjoy Your Weekend...

Here's a playlist I whipped up real quick...just a couple tracks for that TGIF feeling

Whachu tink a dem Apples?

iPods already filled with an entire catalogue of major label music?
hmmm...

On repeat...

Without a doubt my favorite song in the world right now is this heater from Kelly Polar's new album I Need You To Hold On While The Sky Is Falling out now on Environ. From it's silky disco production(which actually hits pretty hard) and undeniable hook, this song just gets me. Give it a shot if you don't already know about it because Morgan Geist, Kelly Polar and Environ should be on everyone's radar. They're amazing...

Mochi Mochi

What it doozy?

This album is from FoF friend Mochipet. He wears a big purple dinosaur suit when he performs and pretty much murders any style of electronic music imaginable. His new record Microphonepet drops on Daly City Records(his label) April 1st!

Some MP3s and a mix too...can it get any better?

Yikes!

Fuck You, Alanis Morisette

At 12 or so, my interest in music had just began to bud.  At the time, Alanis Morisette's Jagged Little Pill was hotter than dog shit on a skillet.  And dog shit it was.  Of course, like most impressionable 12 year olds, I was just one sheep in the popular culture flock, and I could recall with little difficulty the lyrics to no less than 7 of her many hit songs.

My father, recognizing my musical transgressions, decided to intervene.  Into my lap he dropped a little cassette with the messily scrawled words "Plastic Bertrand" on one side and "Ca Plane Pour Moi" on the other.  And with one listen, I was hooked.  The Chuck Berry guitar, the the rollicking vocals punctuated by Beach Boys trills, the heady sax--a "punk-rock" classic, and in French. 

Fast-forward 7 years.  Roving the internets, I chance upon another Plastic Bertrand gem, and he once again impresses me with his musical versatility with the disco-lite jammer from 1982, "Stop Ou Encore."  Though you've probably heard "Ca Plane Pour Moi" before (it's been featured in more than one commercial), here are both songs for your aural enjoyment:

Meeeeyami

My good friends over at Circuitree are throwin' a Winter Music Conference shindig and I'll be there with bells on. With guests like edIT, Jimmy Edgar, Machine Drum, Junc Ops and more (plus a Dj set from yours truly) this should be a night of broken neck vertebrae and glitched out mayhem...sounds like I'll be right at home

Daedelus is my hero...

So, I'm pretty serious about that. After releases on too many great labels to name, he is returning this summer with a new LP entitled Love To Make Music To on Ninja Tune! Check out this link to a FREE download of the first single, 'Hrs:Mins:Secs' which includes a pretty murderous dancy remix by Etan Greenwich:

Ninja is also offering some exclusive perks if you choose to pre-order the record through this link so hop on it if you're a freak like me...

Classic Cuts

So, this is basically a collection of 12"s that have been re-issued by Dutch label Clone Classic Cuts from long ago. You can hear Disco/80's all over this compilation and in all the finest ways possible.  I've had "Single Girl" for a while, but I have to say I am now obligated to collecting the rest. Look out for it
