Hudson Mohawke Fadermix



This shit is like DJ Beyonda, but with even weirder stoner stuff thrown in. In other words, I love it. Right click and save this one.

Julian Casablancas from The Strokes


I wasn't really excited for this one, I admit. I've always liked The Strokes and I think they are a mighty solid band, but for some reason, they never have really excited me.

Julian Casablancas has a new album coming out, and its very good in a lot of ways, and maybe even a little exciting. First of all, it's pop-catchy, but like the Strokes, has that underlying melancholy to it which keeps it from become the latest cheese-whiz of the week. Secondly, it's kinda modern sounding, with nicely textured synths and electronic drums subtly buffering the structures of the song ably.

Here's one of the catchier tracks. If you like it, I would highly recommend getting the album, because there's more where that came from:

Damn, Funk


Dam Funk (actually pronounced Dame Funk), has been rocking my shit the past few weeks. It's like head candy to go back to his spaced out gfunk, dope beats, and beautiful hair.

He's putting out a five-disc debut. FIVE! This guy is insane. But, guess what, it's all really good and totally listenable. Each has it's own theme, from love to being gangster, and the gimmicky idea really actually works.

If you're still listening to boring, depressing music, you should really start spinning some of this stuff. It's like the new, completely legal and organic way to get high.

Surfing with the Aliens


If I were a director and I was trying to come up with an epic ending to my movie about space travel and the nature of god and existence, I would totally put this track at the end. It makes you feel like you are flying through the asteroid belt about to touch the face of the creator, although He probably wouldn't like it if your name were "Fuck Buttons". Or maybe he would laugh, I don't know.

Go buy their CD Tarot Sport because it's really good. In other related "Fuck" band news, did anyone hear about Starfucker changing their name to PYRAMID? The hell?

File under W for Weird, Wonderful, and Waikiki

So I've been sitting on this one for a while, and I thought what better way to start the music blog off with this one. The artist is Sandii, and she is a J-pop artist who recorded from '79-'90 with her band the Sunsetz.



I don't know much more about this track, including what album it is from and what year it was recorded, but it sounds weirdly fantastic, from the odd tabala-esque beat to the abrupt yet ethereal shift in tone of the song.

Now that I'm in Nashville, I thought I'd turn this into music blog focusing mainly on cool ass shit that I like a lot. This blog will primary focus on:

-Rare soul
-Weirdo jams from who knows when
-Anything influenced by drugs
-Good disco
-Lo-fi and glo-fi
-Some dubstep, but only if its REALLY good
-DJ mixes that are dope
-Gothed-out 80s and any dark and moody dance music


Yeah. I feel like I've come a long way from Less than Jake and Primus. Next post tomorrow!
