new dawn, new day, new PLAYLIST!

so, what's in the new car CD and at-home-preferred playlist? Well, a quick impulse buy of an iTunes $20 voucher got me a backlog of dance-pop (guetta/cudi, duck sauce, MSTRKRT/Chromeo and Glee Safety Dance), mixed in with some gifts from friends (Black Cab, Jezebels) and some of my trusty epic electronica and postrock. Which I Love.

I reckon that MSTRKRFT Chromeo remix is awesome enough to get me tracking down some more remixes by them, and even the whole of the remixed Chromeo Fancy Footwork (entitled Fancier Footwork, ahhh, those smoothies).

Weird Crush shout-out here to P-Thugg from Chromeo, actually. Is it his reminiscence of Turtle in Entourage maybe, because Jerry Ferrara did register with me (a cute, cuddly twenty-something who can fulfill your needs? sweet.)

interview with P-Thugg on Some Kind of Awesome

and for just plain excellent new pop - Two Door Cinema Club's What You Know and Pigeon John's The Bomb.

skipping stones

how amazing is fourtet...?

www.fourtet.net/

kieren hebden i believe

the new album i've yet to hear in entirety... high on my list though (with the whole rest of will oldham, joanna newsom, more of the field, more by tindersticks, the new one for the national...)

but this 9'31" one off 2003's rounds - unspoken...

just epic beats plus keen melody



beats.

and how i would never give them up

how i love the people that treat them with intelligence, as well as feeling, which creates something transcendent, in the classic sense

like william orbit, like richard d. james... a.k.a. aphex twin

it becomes deeper than dance music, more rhythmic than purely mathematical composition.

math rock we used to call some kinds of music... for a time

math rock to me means ui, trans am (early albums)...

or is that just plain postrock?

to some people postrock is like any quiet loud quiet band, or were they loud quiet loud...? i forget ...

like it matters...

maybe it's a postmix :)

would love to know what technology you're using to make this music... samplers, digital instruments... vintage sythesisers... valve amplifiers.. ? - however you did it, four tet, kieren hebden, this music is excellent!

thank you
