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.

shoulder shrug shuffle

it's odd to realise how much a genre means to you until you're called to defend it.

electronica.

i fucken love it.

i would miss it if i were never allowed to hear it again and it has begun to occupy a place in my listening habits which render it pretty irreplaceable: ie. i can do other things while i listen.

poetically composed lyrics always have to be heard, even when you know them by heart.

repeated individual words, like in caribou's sun

and totally wordless, lengthy tracks like the pantha du prince stuff...

are possibly my most beloved new musics.

so this is pantha - bohemian forest (note youtube embed code is now iframes... interesting)



see ya

mellow electronica

while i process the sum total of my responses to the meredith music festival, here is someone who played far too late for me to get to hear , but captured my heart with one track

germanic minimalist beat beauty...



pantha du prince
