World Music Ain’t Yanni When You’ve Got Real Rhythm: A new mix

Olafur Eliasson
Colour spectrum kaleidoscope (2003)

I’ve been a bad blogger as of late. I am afraid the real world of job duties/life duties has been taking my time away, not to mention the glorious spring weather outside, dinner parties to be thrown and attended, attempts at accelerated fitness, etc.

  

If you’ve read anything on here before you might notice Agingsnob is currently obsessed with alt/dance music from Australia (see Cut Copy and Cave posts). I’m also a fan of blip blip/crash!/ industrial agro/minimal beats that come out of Germany and I’ll groove to effete French men regularly too. All of this is anticipation for my weekend of dance music from abroad—Midnight Juggernauts at Bowery Ballroom on Friday and Ellen Alien on Saturday at Studio B, not to mention a jaunt to MOMA for the Olafur Eliasson show, which will be a kind of visual rhythm fest, perhaps? So start dancing now! Even if you’re in a cubicle…think of it as office exercise…

 

E Talking: Tiga

Heart It Races: Architecture In Helsinki

Downtown: Heloise and the Savoir Faire (funky!)

Newtons Gravitatlichkeit: Einstürzende Neubauten (not funky, but it is music made with power tools!)

Road to Recovery: Midnight Juggernauts

Funkenflug Der Traume: Ellen Allien

La ritournelle: Sébastien Tellier

Yippiyo-Ay: The Presets…yet another Australian electro band I’m gaga for

Swan Lake (Aka Death Disco): Public Image Limited …ever wonder where the term death disco comes from? John fucking Lydon.

 

(ALSO, Happy Birthday Tyler, thank you Joanna and Bryan for making my tickets happen and yay Claire/Jacob visit…)

 

 

Dub Easter Electro Egg Mix

Sans la grippe, avec beaucoup de travail, c’est à toi une musique. Bonne Paqcues!

Future: Cut Copy Or, rather, Fewcha! Let’s just go into a minute why Australians rule? Nick Cave. Kylie Minogue. Cut Copy. Koalas. Murial’s Wedding. Ok, I won’t post about Cut Copy anymore.

My Spine is a Bassline:  Shriekback

New Young Pony Club: Hiding on the Staircase This is such a good song. Stupid name for a band and when I first saw these guys two years ago, I wasn’t that impressed but now they impress me. This sounds so vintage I can’t believe it wasn’t made in 1983.

Cocaine in my Brain: Dillinger

Vivien Goldman: Laundrette: This was actually made around 1983. I think I may have actually lived this song, though, in 2004. Goldman is a professor at NYU now. (She was also in the Flying Lizards).

My Favorite Mutiny: The Coup

Yppah: What’s the Matter?

Digitalism: Idealism This song is so very 1994 Big Beat (Orbital, Prodigy) and I fucking love it. I kinda wanna watch Hackers right now actually

I like Australians who like Daft Punk (i.e. Cut Copy)

CUT COPY

Studio B

Saturday night. Fuckin’ go yo!

And yes, sadly, I think Goth week is over. I have nothing Goth left to give you!

Here’s what I am listening to get ready for another jaunt to Studio B:

Editions of You-Roxy Music

1983-Miss Kitten

So Cinematic-Pora Pora!**because nobody tears shit up like Nanna

Amparanoia: Proganado: War is Not the Solution (remix)
