Pre-Weekend Post


Hey, it’s time for another post. And in honor of the beautiful few days of 60 degree weather we’ve been having here in the bay area I’m going to post a bunch of videos. This way you can stay indoors and out of the sun.

Let’s push things forward with a collaboration of mdmAmazing proportions. I’m sure you’ve seen this already, but if you haven’t it’s definitely worth your time.




Rihanna – Umbrella (Featuring Klaxons)


This live versions of umbrella is astoundingly catchy, and for Klaxons, alarmingly poppy. We should have all seen this coming; they’ve stated their mainstream ambitions countless times. From wanting to work with Dr. Dre to pontificating about their follow up album, Klaxons have shot for the limelight. They still sound great, and if this is a taste of what’s to come from their next album all I can say is that I’m down.

How fucking sweet was it that they used the pyramids? I don’t want to hear about them ripping off Daft Punk, they opened for the robots throughout Europe and have earned the right to use it for one performance. You people complaining about this are probably the ones complaining about Daft Punk’s appearance at the Grammy’s, you’ll never be satisfied, just shut up already.






Todosantos – Acid Boys and Acid Girls

What an EP, the entire Acid Grilzz ep is terrific. This is arguably the best track from it. Sure the remixes would fare better in a club environment, but this is the most diverse. It kicks right in with the danceable beats and features many tempo changes, build ups and break downs. This is a banging track with a horrendously confusing video accompanying it.

My Robot Friend – Understand Your Man (Steril Remix)

This track is pounding; it features an acid backing bass line. The percussion is ace and the synth plays a perfect role for a song of this caliber. I have no clue what or who Steril is but I’ll be on the lookout for more of his, her, it, whatever’s work.

NAVEL4EVE – Freakshow

This is some pretty cute electro-pop. NAVEL4EVE is from Canada and just released an EP that shares the name of this song. Every song could pass for a single, it’s all so good. The songs are synth heavy and dependant on female vocals delivered in a cheeky manner. I wonder how big they will get in 08? And if you like anime...



Little Boots – Stuck On Repeat

You’ve probably already heard the song, but have you seen this?



Yeah, that’s pretty awesome. Which do you prefer? That’s all for today, later.
