I HAVE however, been posting a lot of very nice things on the Facebook page lately because I'm all multi-platform and shit. So there's that. Get on it...
Aren't ya lovin' this new once-a-week format? Yeah, I know. Pretty shitty. But what can I say, yo, SHIT BEEN CRAAAAAAAY....
Visioneers is a "studio project" by Marc Mac of the mighty 4Hero... but despite that, this sound like it could be on an Air record. Which is not a bad thing. But yeah, something about the title of this song makes me a bit uncomfortable...
You know what I mean? I mean, like, what if your uncle walked up and said that to you? Or the clerk at 7/11? NOW you see what I mean! Have a good weekend...
Remember how last week and the week before I said I'd do better this week and previously last week? Well, maybe next week. But anyway, here's one now...
The search for so-called "minimal" that isn't boring isn't always terribly fruitful, because most minimal is boring. But I have found a label that defies that trend in Germany's Highgrade Records. I've actually found myself quite impressed with their crispity, crunchity Tech House goodness. Here's one from Romanian producer Mihai Popoviciu, the man who's name is fun to say (not to be confused with Max Power, the man who's name you'd love to touch)...
Remember last week when I said I'd do better this week? I guess I meant next week. But anyhoo...
There are few examples in the music industry today of people doing in right to the extent that Mr. Derek Vincent Smith, aka Pretty Lights is doing it right. Dude started out most likely in his bedroom, but put all his music out (to this day) for free, worked on his live show and built a following to the extent that he is now a major headliner playing for thousands. Without ever selling a single tune. Relying on talent and internet exposure. SUCK ON THAT RECORD LABELS! YOU DMCA-HAPPY FUCKS! YOU'LL ALL BE GONE SOON! JUST LIKE POLIO! And then they'll be replaced by guys like this, who, wait for it... has now started his own record label... one that gives all the music out for free (w/ optional donation, a.k.a the Radiohead model.) So here's one of the first batch of artists on Pretty Lights Music, a dude who goes by the name SuperVision. Sounds not unlike Pretty Lights, which I suppose is not terribly surprising... but certainly good enough to stand up on it's own. Dig...
If you like that (and you do), go to Pretty Lights Music, grab that sucka and check out the other fine wares on offer. Then go to the shows and support. It's the future of the music industry. Get wise or just keep doing it wrong and buying whatever musical flotsam is available at Wal-Mart... it's your choice. Have a good weekend...
Here's a true story for you. The other night I was sitting on my stoop, checking out a particularly big and bright moon over the LBC. And I think to myself, "Wow, dudes were walking around up there. That's pretty awesome." The next morning, Neil Armstrong died. The lesson of this tale? Don't think of anyone, ever...
The music posted on this blog is for evaluation purposes only and will be removed after a short time... so if you like it... support the artists, dammit! Buy the records, go to the shows, give them a ride to the airport if they need it! Don't be a schmuck! If you are an artist or scary lawyer type and want something removed from here, just holla and it's gone! I'm easy like that!
