HEALTH, The Experimentally Inclined Noise Band From LA Covers Their Homie Pictureplane's "Goth Star",

Call it an off day, hell, an off week.

There's been a handful of new-ish to new tracks I've been wanting to get stoked on enough to post here, but I'm at a loss. 

I'm absolutely broke (yet fabulous!) so no outstanding events this weekend to report on. To top it off, the weather sucks. You know, in that way only a Bay Area summer can suck it up, where you wonder, "this is what it must be like living in Seattle year-round."

It's cool, we're still in California folks (well, at least us fortunate ones), so there's that.

Here's an ode to the feeling, to the near rarity, of a warm San Francisco night. 

Enough with the sad sack shit I've been posting lately(god love it). Alas, spirits are up in stereo-land. The dj gig has been treating me well(meaning they actually pay me).

It happens every 1st, 2nd, and 4th Thursdays at Merchants, 401 2nd St in Oakland. 

Meanwhile I can't wait until Coleco's rework of Foreigner's "Urgent" is made available soon as an MP3 because it's absolutely perfect for a dive bar DJ attempting to make smashed people dance. Hallelujah.  

chill as fuck.

I moved. I like the scenery. While settling in, I stumbled upon this appropriate gem: RAC's mix of Washed Out's "New Theory." 

Stick around folks and read my old blogspot entries below, gloriously unformatted.

You can expect more style and less substance from here on out!

M83's anticipated double-album Hurry Up, We're Dreaming finally and officially dropped on Tuesday. I must admit, I've been apprehensive. How could the self-proclaimed youth and nostalgia-obsessed Frenchman and mastermind Anthony Gonzales live up to the hype(machine)? I mean, everyone loves that sax solo in lead single "Midnight City"! And Urban fuckin' Outfitters had rights to the first complete stream of the album!

Still, I believe true mainstream success will elude M83. Unless within the year he sells out the Fox Theater(I call it) and every track is licensed to movies, tv, and commercials ala Moby's Play. 

Regardless, I will continue to listen to standout track "Steve McQueen" with my fist in the air.  

Florence Welch by Vincent Haycock.

I know these babes. All three of them.
