The Bloody Beetroots ft. Steve Aoki - Warp 1.9

- well, this is different. -

WOOP WOOP !

// Cassette Kids

dance-punk, indie \\

Daniel Schober. Jacod Read-Harter. Daniel Deitz. Katrina Noorbergen. From Sydney. In 2007.

In 2008 they released a mini album called We Are. And then their debut album this October, called Nothing On Tv. They sound a bit like Yeah Yeah Yeahs and The Ting Tings. They're nothing really special. But they're not bad. Ok. That's all. Can't be bothered. She's kinda hot. But not a lot. Bye.

 

// The Naked And The Famous

dreampop, electro \\

They come from Auckland, New Zealand. So. There's Alisa Xayalith. She met up with Thom Powers and Aaron Short at college. They dropped out of college. Then Aaron brought some of his old bandmates from high school, David Beadle and Jesse Wood. And The Naked And The Famous were born. Just like that.
So, Auckland looks like a great place. I'm useless at geography so I googled it up. And it's all beachy and stuff so that explains their music. It's beachy and sunny and sandy and watery. They're like MGMT and Passion Pit had a baby, as a Youtube comment correctly states. So how couldn't I like it? Alisa got inspired by Skins. I suppose that explains a bit too. I haven't really read any of their lyrics but anyway. -Is that what you say? Read lyrics? Doesn't sound right-
Anyway, I'm rambling again. Listen to them. Especially if you liked the first MGMT album.

 

Justice Vs Simian - We Are Your Friends

Because we are your friends
You'll never be alone again
Well come on

Crystal Castles - Reckless

New Order - Blue Monday

How does it feel to treat me like you do?

When you've laid your hands upon me

And told me who you are

I thought I was mistaken

I thought I heard your words

Tell me, how do I feel

Tell me now, How do I feel

Those who came before me

Lived through their vocations

From the past until completion

They'll turn away no more

And I still find it so hard

To say what I need to say

But I'm quite sure that you'll tell me

Just how I should feel today

I see a ship in the harbor

I can and shall obey

But if it wasn't for your misfortune

I'd be a heavenly person today

And I thought I was mistaken

And I thought I heard you speak

Tell me how do I feel

Tell me now, how should I feel

Now I stand here waiting...

I thought I told you to leave me

While I walked down to the beach

Tell me how does it feel

When your heart grows cold 

Passion Pit

Οπότε αποφάσισα να επανέλθω με τους Passion Pit. Οι Passion Pit είναι ένα συγκρότημα από το Cambridge, Massachussetts στην Αμερική (όλα μας τα χουν κλέψει πια) και δημιουργήθηκε το 2007. Η μουσική που παίζουν είναι ναι μεν indie φάση, αλλά είναι πιο πολύ elecro/synth-pop. Το wikipedia χαρακτηρίζει τη μουσική τους και ως wonky pop. Τι άλλο θα μάθει κανείς πια? Δημιουργήθηκε από τους Michael Angelakos (προφανώς Έλληνας-για φαντάσου), Ian Hultquist, Ayad Al Adhamy, Thom Plasse και Adam Lavinsky. Παρ'ολ'αυτά, οι δύο τελευταίοι στην πορεία αντικαταστάθηκαν από τους Jeff Apruzzese και Nate Donmoyer.

Το όνομα του συγκροτήματος προέρχεται από το Variety Slanguage Dictionary -το οποίο απ'ότι καταταλαβαίνω ήταν ένα "λεξικό" της αργκό ενός περιοδικού). Παραδόξως, το ίδιο όνομα έχει και μια πορνογραφική ταινία της δεκαετίας του '80, αλλά τα μέλη του συγκροτήματος υποστηρίζουν πως δεν το γνώριζαν καν αυτό. 

Το συγκρότημα έβγαλε ένα EP το 2008, το οποίο λεγόταν Chunk Of Change. Από το EP αυτό βγήκε μόνο ένα single, το Sleepyhead. Αυτό το τραγούδι όμως υπάρχει και στον επόμενο κανονικό τους δίσκο, το Manners. Το Manners πρώτοβγήκε στα δισκοπωλεία τον Μάιο του 2009, το οποίο δέχτηκε γενικά καλές κριτικές. Ο δίσκος έχει 14 τραγούδια, τα οποία όλα έχουν γραφτεί από τον Angelakos (φαίνεται γελοίο, οπότε βάζω στην παρένθεση και ένα Αγγελάκος για να νιώσω καλύτερα).
