mo' neuevo muzik
Some stuff I've bought recently and really been enjoying:
The Killers - Hot Fuss. A Las Vegas band influenced by Duran Duran. Isn't that enough?
The Catch - After Party EP. Cute all-girl new-wavey band from Seattle. Saw them first at a lesbian bar's street party on Pride, then again opening for Hell's Belles, an AMAZING all-chick AC/DC cover band. I love girl drummers!
The Album Leaf - in a safe place. Imagine if Sigur Ros took the day off from wailing and lightened the fuck up for once.
The Helio Sequence - Love and Distance. Rockin' along with a few bleeps and bloops thrown in for good measure. Postal Service with more guitars. GREAT road trip music.
self-titled disc #1: 50 Foot Wave (the latest incarnation of Kristin Hersh)
self-titled disc #2: Mosquitos (Yo la Tengo meets Bebel Gilberto)
Salsoul Presents Disco Funk Flavas (the 12" mix of "First Time Around" by Skyy is STILL stuck in repeat)
DJ? What's a DJ?
Oh wait, I almost forgot something so good I had to buy it twice! (gave the first one away to a bartender who, in turn, comped me some really nice drinks) It's called Airflow and is a mix put together by some guy named Djamel Hammadi as the "soundtrack" to the Park Hyatt Tokyo Hotel, the same one seen in Lost in Translation. Sorry, no covers by Sausalito but quite a cool mix of music from Teddy Pendergrass to Japanpop.
