Rainydayz Remixes

Amplive did this amazing collection of remixes for Radiohead's In Rainbows. After a lot of legal garbage, its now available for download. The tracks include a few special guests such as Too $hort, MC Zumbi of Zion I, Chali2na of Jurassic 5, and (my personal favorite) Del the Funky Homosapien.

Here's the link for the zipfile:

Amplive Radiohead Rainydayz Remixes

YACHT - Psychic City (Voodoo City)

YACHT is mostly comprised of Jona Bechtolt and Claire L. Evans ( they like to accept everyone as a member but as far as I know they are the only people responsible for the musical aspect of YACHT).

Check out some of their tracks/remixes:

Do The Whirlwind (YACHT REMIX)

I Love A Computer

Sometimes I Doubt Your Commitment to Sparkle Motion

See A Penny ( Pick it Up)

Girls - "Lust For Life" (official video)

This song plays in my head at least 45 times a day.

Go See The Grates 9/3

Patience, the lead singer, is my main obsession in life. She seduced me with her use of wedding dresses and ribbon dancers.
Come see fancy ribbon moves 9/3 @ Middle East ( upstairs--> the tiny mo' betta part).

Gang Gang Dance - House Jam (live in Tokyo)

I've been playing the hell out of Gang Gang Dance recently. I've heard some mixed reviews hopefully I get to witness them live soon , so I can make my own judgments. Overall, I enjoy Saint Dymphna.

Michachu cancels tour!!!!!

I'm really sad about this one. For those of you unfamiliar with Micachu ( and the Shapes) check them out IMMEDIATELY!!! Sadly , their tour is canceled as of today. I did get a chance to catch them at Great Scott a few weeks back . It was a great intimate show with lots of fun percussion ( playing old champagne bottles and cowbells).

Check their most recent album Jewellery and this snazzy video for "Golden Phone" which is one of the most upbeat songs about suicide I've ever heard.

Tiesto and Tegan & Sara = OHH YEAHHHH!!

Here is " Feel it in My Bones" by Tiesto ft. Tegan and Sara. I don't know about you but I love TWINS.
