In Rememberance: Prince for Batman

Better were the days when an artist’s writing process could be to repeat the name of a comic-turned-movie for 7 minutes with scattered siren guitar solos and a Salsa break, and hit #1 on the charts. Gotta respect the Prince.

And Hot Chip’s Ready for the Floor, styled in homage.

Because who doesn’t love these 2!

Just wanted to quickly throw this up before I take off and drive back to Bklyn, because, well, this sounds like sonic lovemaking. DEBBIE!

Does anyone else hear that percussion and immediately think Bow Wow Wow’s immortal beach riff is about to scorch the air?

Maps love.

Coachelletta Video

Unique perspective of Coachella 2010.  The long shots and edit speeds used give this a synthetic but soft feel to an event with typically chaotic footage – enjoy.

The Strokes at Stubbs 10/06

Julian and Co killed it last night. After holding the crowd captive to 2 hours of elevator music before they took stage, energy was peaking and it definitely was reciprocated.

Spike Jonze – I’m Here Short

Re-watched the Spike Jonze short (actually a branding film with Absolut) “I’m Here” today.  It’s great Jonze material if you’ve got 30 minutes to spare and find yourself in the mood for a robot love story, although the story reminds me of every timid-turned-enlightened Jim Carrey romantic comedy character.

Both of the songs below exude soaking UV on the beach with a Tecate in one hand and freshly grilled braised pork taco in the other.

Hailing from Perth, the new group off of Modular, Tame Impala, brings an updated, breezier sound to the Modular catalog.  They’ll be touring US this summer supporting MGMT.
