Either my mood has slapped me with a pair of rose colored ear-glasses or I had a dollar bin killin. I grabbed sicks gems, I am going to give you the tippy three.
Starting off we have Front 242, they make an industry of killing men. Belgians get a pass from me, they may speak some [...]
3070 is the solo work by Rick Davis who is the non-Atkins half of Cybotron. Atkins supposedly left Cybotron because he disagreed with Davis’ pop sound. Huh? Clear has popped up in poppy pop songs ever since its birth and Vision stumbles around alone, a concussed rusted tin-man. Jazzy Pha’s historical eyesight is 20/20.
3070 - [...]
The weather out west has skipped its meds and gone into a schizophrenzy, swapping solstices. Thank goddess it was a long weekend and that my car still had the guts to wobble to LA. There were a few songs in tow, this one by Sun Araw drifted us down along the misty morning heat of [...]
Bonkers, two posts in two days - Pwny’s back with a vengeance! I made this mix today using 8tracks which seems like the best alternative to the sadly defunct Muxtape. Apparently they have to randomize the tracks after the first listen to keep things cozy with the RIAA, but if the sequencing is preserved the [...]
The repo business is booming. Tow trucks and crowbars are in short supply. The Murhpys use Chris Tucker vocals, wiki-wiki Newcleus helium voices, and keys to lighten up the blues of hard times. 1982 could easily be 2010. What can go wrong, will go wrong.

BIPPP is a compilation put out by French label Born Bad, full of upbeat and dancey synth-isms. Many of the songs have odd and intriguing vocals, compounded by the fact that they are all in french. Daft Punk, Justice, and Lady Tron having all been paying monthly rent on these sounds.
Ping Pong - Act
Game and [...]
This song has got grappling hooks man. It snuck up, dipped in pitch black crushed velvet, behind the exotic pet warehouse and busted in. Smoke poured from the mouths of the albino alligators and the toucan’s eyes glowed like opals. Siamese twin orangutans led the crowd in a coordinated grind mash.

Egyptian Lover is finally making his pwny debut with two freak driven epics. “Girls” is nearly ten minutes of elustro cat calls. “Voices” takes nightlife to the loony bin or maybe the other way around. Egyptian Lover rocked a surgeon’s outfit to the club, played records at +8, and hand-spun “Planet Rock” in reverse. Stop [...]
I forget where I first saw this, but I watched it like 20 times a day for two weeks, and then it got deleted. Fast forward 8 months or so, The Brilliance posted a link to another video, and now I’m back on the train. It’s just so good. Great concept, great execution. There are [...]
In California, the state Supreme Court approved same sex nuptials today. What’s next? Are we going to let aliens marry polar bears?!? I hope so. In commemoration of this historic day I am posting the song “Boy” by Book of Love. It isn’t about marriage, but it is about not getting into the gay bar. [...]
Folks,

In honor of the occasion, Nate and I put together a mix featuring all the artists from this year and a few from last year’s fete. If you subsrcribe to Just Like [...]
I recently bought a pair of pants. They’re the same jeans I wore every day for the last 2 years, or so I thought. I guess the sizing got a little baggier or I lost some weight. I was complaining to a friend about how they don’t fit the same. Minutes later while walking [...]
