Thrill Velocity is an experimental electronic music project that I’ve been feeling lately. This particular track reminds me of walking home late at night down South 6th in Brooklyn with the Manhattan skyline not too far off in the distance. It starts off very slow and ambient, but in the end it takes you to the core of the chaos–just like the city.
The second track will make you have sex and shake your ass–in either order. You decide!
Bonus Video Shit:
Okkervil River is joining the likes of 50 Cent and Green Lanturn with the release of their most recent (and I think first) mix tape. The 9 track mix is available for free on the band’s website. I’ll be listening to this on my journey to visit the fam, especially “Listening to Otis Redding at Home During Christmas.” Now go and cop this free shit! Then go get Stage Names…. my vote for 2007 album of the year…….stop jocking that Panda Bear record…..yes you…..it was dope, but this was better.
Another great “mix tape”……..
If you grew up listening to “alternative music” in the 90’s then the picture above might stir up a nostalgic moment for you. Cassette’s Won’t Listen is offering up a free download of his EP of 90’s cover songs. If you haven’t heard this shit, then you need to check it. His rendition of Pavement’s “Cut Your Hair” is the shit. Excuse me while I grab my flannel shirt watch Singles……

Besides being a great forum for finding potential ex-girlfriends and great deals on Macy gift cards, Myspace also serves as a great match-maker for music. Here’s what I’ve found lately:
Mystery Palace …..From Minneapolis. These guys are great. Electronic yet indie rock sound. Really, really interesting music. Check out “Nascar Survivor.”
The Teeth ….. Park The Van records is holding it down right now. These guys are all over the place. Check out “Yellow.”
Blonde Acid Cult …… One of NYC’s best bands. Really feeling this shit. Actually I didn’t find these guys on Myspace…someone told me about them.
Your 33 Black Angels ……Another great band out of NYC. “Psycho on Your Side” is one of my favorite songs right now.
Between Ikea and the new music that has been coming out of Stockholm lately, one could say that ”Sweden is on some next level shit!” And while most of the furniture from Ikea breaks after a few months, the music seems to have some staying power. Right now I’m really feeling this duo out of Stockholm called Standfast. The lead singer’s voice is amazing and her lyrics are cunning. Step in this shit:
Support It:
This is simply an amazing song by an artist that really deserves some shine. His name is A.A. Bondy and he’s creating relevant folk music that should occupy a few megabytes on your ipod. Enjoy this SHIT!
Sometimes you find beauty in imperfection and that’s exactly what makes this track by Seth Kaufman so brilliant. This is some serious lo-fi shit! The song is called “Summertime Bossa Nova” and it appears on his newly released album, Research. I’ve been walking around the city lately listening to this and missing summer days. It’s November and New York is getting cold. I could feel my nipples through 3 layers today….not that I was feeling myself or anything.
Support this shit!
Welcome to the next level of my blogging escapades. Keep in tune and watch where you step; because it’s all about stepping in good shit.
I first heard the Bees (or a Band of Bees as they are called in the US) about a year ago and I’ve been digging them ever since. http://www.myspace.com/thebeesofficial
Their new video is is the SHIT from start to finish. I love the slow build up leading to the triumphant finale. I”M TOTALLY FEELING THIS SHIT!
