This song sucks but this video r00ls…..*sigh* Teddie Films has made an incredibly awesome video with Star Wars and an amazing Princess Leia!!! 1:51-1:53 where Darth Vader uses his evil powers to force Leia to the van is sooooo killer. I was dying on that part. Tyler Marshall and Eddie King also used the RED!!! Super dope! You guys did an amazing job. Too good. Let me be involved in your next project! Also is Eddie Korean? Must be half cause there ain’t many Kings in that genre of humans.

We are pullin’ this before your weekend is over. Play this at your party right now. BTW we are just going to call him DJ Popsicles form now on. DJPSH is just too stinkin’ long. Check out this little minimix and dance your limbs off! Have a sweet rest of the weekend!

Also peep this vid, it uses the new T2I Canon Rebel, and I’d like to get one. (some day)

It’s always good to see and hear about upcoming and coming scenes in other countries. There are a small band of righteous music creators and listeners hungry to get their sleeping giant up with the rest of the world. In Korea, lots of pop is influenced by American hip hop culture but in the past decade, theirs been a swift uprise in DJs and Producers going beyond the American old school sampling days. It makes sense; we have some of the dopest stuff ever put on wax or slammed to discs but don’t you get tired of hearing those super common samples on Korean songs? Hopefully you knowhat I mean. Luckily, their scenes are goinglobal, and they’re getting high respect…judging by the fotos, you’d think it was a UK electro show. Check that video and be sure to get the DJ Soulscape mixtape they posted below.

NJ’s Like Trains & Taxis are a refreshment, it’s what people are calling indie-soul with dashes of jazz–whatever it is, there’s style I dig in their songs. There’s also a good measure of pop, and lots of signature pianos like a Ben folds gig but a step up in the simplicity. They’ve got their debut, Tales From A Revolving Door, rollin’ out our early next month. Definitely check it out and that video below. Freakin’ robot in it, holla!

Cold Shoulder [MP3]

I can’t get this song out of my brain. So now you must listen. =)

I really like the fact that these guys play in the subways and street corners, if you were lucky enough to catch the at the L stop, you’d totally knowhere I’m comin’ from. The Freelance Whales are a New York quintet with enough happy indie synth driven jams to make all your saddies go away for a day. It’s like sweet, sugary pop, with banjos and synths. That banjo and songs like Broken Horse, makes you think Sufjan, and everything else is like Postal Service-ish. Doesn’t matter how neo-emo it sounds, you and I still dig it. Stop frontin’ and get the album when it rolls in April! Check the tracks below fromdebut Weathervanes. Check the tour dates here.

Generator 2nd Floor [MP3]

I’m cruisin’ through the SXSW madness lists and there are literally over 2000 bands playing there! It’s madness, we need to do an experiment where a fake band goes there, and gets a manager, PR and signed all in that 1 week. I think it’s do-able. More about this later. One rad band that came back to our radar is Miniature Tigers! These guys d00ds have received lots of props for their album Tell It To The Volcano and we are lookin’ forward to their forthcoming, Fortress, which will be heard somewhere near Summer time (good time). Chris Chu, lead singer of The Morning Benders, co-produced their new joint, and of course, Mini Tigers will be touring with TMB (I like acronymizing) around the U.S….lucky us! The sound is poppy, indie, catchy and nice, but the fire starter for me is their song writing. Check the tracks and dig it!

Tell It To The Volcano [MP3]

Clara Moto sounds like a Japanese name, but far from it! She’s from Austria!? The DJ/producer has been all over the map and is finally unleashing her debut album Polyamour in early May! It’s a step from just dance music; a little bit more intelligent, spots of ambient, and subtle deep house vibes. Sweet vocals all over it from fellow Austrian Mimu. Check out her Red Bull Music Academy page for some dope sessions…btw RBMA is super ill. Someone please take me to 2010 London! Listen more here.

This morning I was getting totally lost and dazed into the new Daedelus album Righteous Fists of Harmony…and if you’ve seen the promo vid, you’d know exactly how I’m feeling. This beautiful blend of electronics and instruments, makes me want to go outside and shoot some film-ish. Order of the Golden Dawn is bossa heavy and the vocals are simply awesome. You guys can pound me later but I think I like this album better than the last..and this is only a mini album! This gem will be poppin on March 23rd via Flying Lotus’ Brainfeeder. Also be on the look out for the Ninjatune release, Bespoke…it will destroy.

Order Of The Golden Dawn [MP3] from Righteous Fists of Harmony

Give a listen to Joanna Newsom’s new album in it’s entirety thanks to NPR. Have One on Me is out now on Drag City Records!

The Morning Benders have a rad new album coming out called Big Echo, we are just under 2 weeks to go. Had a good listen and I definitely dig it, can’t wait til they are in Cali. They got a chunk of dates coming up so be sure to check the list. I was especially digging their Yours Truly video which is below, beautifully done video might I add. They’ve been compared to Vampire Weekend like a gazillion times but MB frontman Chris Chu looks just so darn silly and bittersweet when he sings…yea I said that. He should go to handsome boy modeling school. Would someone please get us a shirt?! There are two tracks below from the new album, cop them for your weekend chill out!

Excuses [MP3]

This videos are so rad. Favs: Beirut + Kings of Convenience…naturally. =)

It sounds totally strange to say introduce the debut album of Free The Robots with Chris Alfaro being around for so long and having the FTR EP out for over two years, I think. I guess Crosbys holdin’ it down well. The new album, CTRL+ALT+DELTE, will be out late next month and it’s packed with electrified beats, bits and blips, with a feel of Flying Lotus mixed with a little Ratatat. Hella mashed experimentation and I totototally dig the Turkish Voodoo track! Pick that album up when it spots via Alpha Pup Recs.

BTW CHeck out these two extremely dope shows happening Tomorrow and Friday, they are both FREE! Kutmah, Tokimonsta, NOCANDO, Dumbfoundead, and Intuition. (It’s gonna be super ill!)

One of my absolute favorite artists, Maia Hirasawa, has a brand new EP out (but not in the US boo!) and I just gave it a sound hear. Although it’s all in Swedish, it’s beautiful. I’ve been following Maia since her earlier demo tracks of Say Good bye and Star Again as well as her vocals on Isolde’s album (they’re not together anymore). The new EP, Dröm bort mig igen, is beautiful with a special Björn Afzelius famous cover song, Tusen Bitar. She had an amazing tour with fellow Swede Jonna Lee where they say each others songs! Last but not least, Swede Hip hop neotronic-soul outfit, Embee, took on Maia for a track. Check that vid below! Also enjoy some older tracks from earlier Maia’s Case!
