this amazing song deserves a far better video than this. The Big Pink is hitting the El Rey tonight with the Jesus and Mary Chain-ish A Place To Bury Strangers, Active Child and IO Echo, and tickets are still available here. (Big Pink will be back for Coachella next month, too.)
ew gross. here’s a fun little food fetish video for Dmitry Fyodorov’s single Simcoe. (produced by SektorFilm.) download the video edit track and a bunch of other dirty dirty disco mp3’s at The Fast Life here (aka The World’s First Blog Since 1927). UPDATE* you can stream the whole Shapeless album here and it’s fucking great.
swoon. jesus satan finds himself in love, and oh cruel fate, how is it possible that it has struck twice in the same place!?!? which of sweet home Chicagoans Moneypenny is jesus satan to choose? also known as DJ Mother Hubbard and DJ A-Cup (ha!), these two lovely female disc jockeys got IT goin’ on in SPADES with both looks and talent. tonight they’re doing a “special performance” (i.e. cat fight over j. satan) at La Cita for Dance Right’s weekly Thursday night sexcapade. (bonus! you can download a grip of their Spandexxx series of live mixes for free here. you’re welcome!) Kingdom, Taliesin and Chico Sonido round out the talent pool.
Wow. Check out Beyonce’s kid sister, Solange Knowles, flexing her golden pipes to the Dirty Projectors’ “Stillness is the Move”… she kills it. On top of Dre’s “XXplosive” beat no less. Damn this family has some genes. I know next to nothing about Solange but I feel bad for her…standing in the shadow of BEYONCE. The shadow of her ass alone is enough to keep you in the dark forever. Throw in the fact that she’s one of the biggest stars on the planet and one half of the biggest power couple on the planet (B and Jay are Hollywood’s top earning couple according to ABC news)… those are some big shoes to fill.
EDIT: revoking “I feel bad for her” …she’s a multi-millionaire dimepiece what the fuck was a thinking?
Dan Deacon HOSPITALIZED! Whoa. Apparently he performs with such ferocity that he totally fucked up his back and had to cancel the rest of his tour.
A post on the Facebook page for Deacon’s show at Clark University tomorrow night says, “DAN DEACON HAS POSTPONED THIS SHOW on 11/14/2009 DUE TO HOSPITALIZATION WITH ACUTE SCIATICA. THE SHOW WILL BE RESCHEDULED TO JANUARY.” – Pitchfork
Beanie Sigel ft. 50 Cent – I Go Off
The Beanie Sigel vs. Jay-Z feud just got ridiculous…Sigel went and recruited 50 Cent and they put together a shall-we-say, ‘gutter,’ diss track for Mr. Empire State himself. That snarling Beanie Sigel has a lot of anger towards jigga, I’m still not really sure why, but if jay doesn’t respond it’s gonna be pretty…anti-climactic. Especially after 50 calls him out at the end: “It’s your move.”

And it’s daunting… the schedule page for this year’s CMJ festival is just a mess, there’s an incredible amount of performers all week and the best way to narrow it down into something coherent is to pick a favorite venue and see what’s happening there all week. Here are some manageable schedules listed by venues I recommend:
Le Poisson Rouge (featuring Atlas Sound, The Very Best, Choir of Young Believers, Cymbals Eat Guitars, Miles Benjamin Anthony Davis)
The Music Hall of Williamsburg (featuring The Antlers, Fanfarlo, Atlas Sound, The xx)
Bowery Electric (featuring Angry vs. The Bear, Black Taxi)
Bowery Ballroom (featuring Fanfarlo, Midnight Juggernauts, Dolorean)
B.B. King’s Blues Club (featuring Raekwon, Busta Rhymes, Styles P and Kids in the Hall)
The Knitting Factory (featuring Miles Benjamin Anthony Davis, Wild Yaks)
Mercury Lounge (featuring The xx, Mumford and Sons, Dutchess and The Duke, Moondoggies)
Cake Shop (featuring Crystal Antlers, Kittens Ablaze)
BEST BAND NAME (involving cute animals burning): Care Bears on Fire
RUNNER UP: Kittens Ablaze
WTF is happening!? Why are there so many colors? All of this stuff happens within the course of 4 hours?? AHHHHHH why are kittens on fire!?!?!!
Still need help deciding? I understand, this is one of those moments where you’re presented with so many choices that you literally freeze up, go into shock mode, wet yourself, burn a kitten or 2 and end up doing nothing. Well Pitchfork also tries to make sense of things with their guide to CMJ here but beware, it’s still massive and somewhat confusing. Just change your trousers and get out there people.
You’re welcome.
Passion Pits – Sleepyhead
Passion Pit sold out a grip of shows here in Los Angeles a while back, so they’re going to grace us with their presence once more with a show tonight at the Henry Fonda. i like them, actually. everyone does. they’re just soooooooo popular. big fcuking whoop, Passion Pit. oooh, so everyone’s your friend? so everyone likes you? well you’ll get yours, Passion Pit. i didn’t want to be your friend, anyway.
ha, i love internet searches. turns out there is a Loverboy song named 'Passion Pit', and i'm guessing that's what they're named after. well played, Passion Pit. well played.
