[QUICKIE] Future Islands – ON THE WATER Posted: 09 Dec 2011 09:54 PM PST ♫ Future Islands – Balance (previously posted) The continuously (& criminally) underrated Baltimore band return with another dose of dramatic indie rock full of great grooves & dark vibes [Quickies are mini-reviews that can fit into a 140 character tweet. They are of albums that people already know of but perhaps are curious about our take on it. What did you think of the disc?] Artist links: Facebook / Amazon This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now

[MP3] New Hands – “This I’ve Heard” Posted: 09 Dec 2011 06:34 PM PST and history’s a game of telephone, and that girl’s not your girl until you make her moan ♫ New Hands – This I’ve Heard Wasn’t it Conficious who once said something about liking his “bass down low?” Well I dont know about that fool but I know that I like my bass the way it is in New Hands’s “This I’ve Heard”: bendy, bouncy, and with twinkling synths dancing on top of it. Throw in some heated, raspy vocals and all the better. Hamilton, Canada’s New Hands are 5 hosers who are still in college but with tracks like this (and only other release “Through The Woodwork”) sounding so good I’m not so sure I can endorse them staying in school.* Artist links: Facebook / Soundcloud / Bandcamp / Amazon *Just kidding. Stay in school. But make lots of music. This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now

[EVENT] Re:Mix Labs Update: Skrillex, DJ Premiere & College PLUS Anamanaguchi still to come! Posted: 09 Dec 2011 12:20 PM PST ♫ Skrillex vs Capital Cities – Kill Everybody vs Safe and Sound (Soft Spoken mashup) I can’t really stand Skrillex (aside from the great mashup above) but seeing the dude that draws tens-of-thousands blow his bass in an intimate venue was pretty cool for sure. Thats him next to DJ Premiere on stage at the Re:Mix labs event from Wednesday night. I missed Erykah Badu and some other big guests but heard it was pretty sweet. The night before had been DJ sets from College and a killer live show from Caught A Ghost (researching them now). So, I don’t know what you L.A. based slackers have been doing but I expect to see you foolios out tonight for Anamanaguchi and tomorrow for what looks to be a very interesting talk between director Jason Reitman (Juno, Thank You For Smoking) and turntablist Cut Chemist (Ozomatli, general awesomeness). Until then! This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now
