It is REALLY feelin' like Summer now!
Sunday, June 17, 2007
Oh the weather is nice and hot now. Chillin' at the beach yesterday was very nice. I had some Egyptian food yesterday at a friend's Grad party. His family was there and it was the most Egyptians I've seen outside of Discovery Channel's special on Cairo! We are working on a summer music podcast, or just mix. We've been listenin' to a lot of instrumentals and gettin' back to electronic. Whether you're in summer school, full timin', vacay, or straight bummin' it, here's a really good mix of hiphop, instrumentals, downbeat, bossa, indietronic, and acoustic. Last night she was Live at the El Ray Theater bustin' some remixes and recent albums. She's one of the top Bossa Nova artists and needless to say is runs in the family.
Bebel Gilberto - Sem Contenção
An older instrumental hiphop track off of Tony Simon's sophomore "Downtown Science" of the Ninjatune label.
Blockhead - Cherry Picker
Sweet Indie-tronic from their 05' release "Datarock Datarock"...This Norwegian duo serves it up dancey.
Datarock - Fa-Fa-Fa
June's Spaceland residents playing free on Mondays! Check out this catchy electronic tune.
The Deadly Syndrome - The Ship That Shot it's Self (Robot Mix)
Off his upcoming "Finding Forever" album droppin' July 31st. Kanye produced this track.
Common - The People ft. Dwele
An oldie, but totally awesome, I loved these guys in the 90s
Garbage - Tell Me Where It Hurts
This Tuesday, The Procession and Castledoor will be playing at Spaceland, I am totally digging both of these piano rockin' tracks.
The Procession - Don't Hesitate
Castledoor - The Birds and the Fleas
She's done stuff with Elton, Sheryl Crow, and Rufus W. to name a few. Joan Wasser the violinist and sing-songwrite with her band.
Joan As Police Woman - The death Ride
Rock-hoppin sample infused straight out of the Chicago indieground.
Kinetic Stereokids - Explosions were Heard
Breakbeat downtempo grooves from 06's "Days to Come"
Bonobo - On Your Marks
I think Los Campesinos means "Country folks" in Spanish. I love the girl/guy vocals from this U.K group. Makes everything so much fun. The awesome indiepopness is droppin' by the U.S. for a couple shows in August but none on the Westcoast =( pooey.
Los Campesinos! - Death to Los Campesinos!
I really like this style of singing, reminds me of the "NEW" 70s chillrock.
Map of Africa - Bone
One of my older favorite shoe-gazers! This song goes great to a backdrop of summer.
My Bloody Valentine - We Have All the Time in the World
She reminds me of Tilly & the Wall, whom I dig. She also sings for Cryptacize, they are awesome too.
Nedelle - Ghost Ships
Acoustic Live version of a great song
New Amsterdams - Idaho
Last summer's "This Vital Chapter" from the Aussie indie poppers.
The Panda Band - A Call To Your Arms
More shoegazey dream folk pop, with Goswell's vocals.
Rachel Goswell - Sleepless & Tooting
The couple duet have a new album as of April on the Merge label called " Night of the Furies" which is more dancier, more poppier, and subliminal.
The Rosebuds - Get Up & Get Out
First single from "Room on Fire"..it's the Oberserver single!
The Strokes - 12:51
This guy used to be in hardcore bands...hard to imagine unless you've heard of him. This one is from "Walking Concert", another one of his projects.
Walter Schreifels - What's Your New Thing?
Our new buddies at Stones Throw Records sent us this awesome track from "Yesterday's Universe" which appears to be all Madlib produced with fictional names/aliases. But from all the new hiphop he's producing, it's super awesome to hear stuff like this jazz drumbeat stuff.
Alright there you have it, 22 songs to start your week off right! Read the news! Lots of good stuff there. Eat more vegetables/fruits. Next week's post will include the health tips, remember those? Okay people comment and let me know you're alive, also what state you are from! Have a great week!!
P.S. Anyone want to help contribute to bbqchickenrobot.com?
