Grasscut! Because Ninja Tune just can't go wrong.

You know what's been missing from your life? The Glitch-folk-tronica band none other than GRASSCUT.

Recently signed to the renown Ninja Tune label, Grasscut consists of award winning film score composer Andrew Phillips and the multi-talented Marcus O'Dair, both reigning from the great county of Sussex, England. After starting with remixing the likes of Bonobo, Coldcut and Jaga Jazzist, they released their Debut album "1 Inch/1/2 Mile" spans many powerful moods created by ethereal stings, blips, atmospheric vocals, big beats and soaring synths. Their main influences (Brian Eno, Sigur Rós, Eskmo, Thom Yorke, Amon Tobin and Debussy) can be clearly heard whilst maintaining a distinct authenticity to their very unique sound. Their stand out track is the chaotic but hopefully epic "Muppet", but don't leave them at that as you would only be getting 1/9th of their oh so versatile repertoire.

Listen to: Muppet, High Down, Meltwater, Passing, The Keeper (Grasscut Bitter Peace Remix).

Jay Electronica signed to Roc Nation

Jay-Z has just signed Jay Electronica to Roc Nation. It's about to be a problem. MP

This kind of music should be called "Siren Rock." I just patented that.

I don't want to beat a dead horse, or beat a horse to death (uhh??), or get all preachy keen about something that you already know about, because talking about music is probably THE MOST ANNOYING THING SOMETIMES, but I am sitting in my dorm room right now, reading a play and drinking seltzer (COLLEGE!!!!, RIGHT GUYS???), and Summer Camp, a band that I have a really deep-seeded attachment to, came on. The name in itself is a draw: it has been statistically proven that 73% of people who listen to music that you don't went to summer camp (43% of them Jewish camps). Have you heard them? GUYS! They are, as James Brown once put it, "so good!" If you've been looking for a band that sounds like driving at night during the summer through a backroad lately, look no further!
In late 2008, their track "Ghost Train" leaked, and after that, they remained one of those phantom acts, that dropped only one track and left you all tingly, like Eden's Crush, or whoever wrote the MTV Reality Show "Rich Girls" theme song (the hit being the "Rich Girls" theme song). Anyways, check out their MySpace. They are GOOD!

Which reminds me: "The High Road" by Pearl Harbor. It's just perfect rainy night music.

COOL

Check out this new project by video artist Chris Milk and The Arcade Fire. Its called "The Wilderness Downtown" and features the Arcade Fire song "We Used to Wait."

Also, it says you need Google Chrome to view it. That's a lie, its just a plug for the Google monster Firefox will work just fine.

WRMC ALL DJ MEETING

TIS that time of year again, where we all get together to discuss how not to fuck up on air, and to dole out the precious show times to all the good little boys and girls. Yes, the biannual all-dj meeting, known to some as the most important social event of the season. Be there or be square.

Mccullough, 8pm, the first thursday of school (aka the 9nth). Come ready with show ideas. Hope on the facebook event for more info. LINK

A moment for...

Menomena.

Why is this band not incredibly popular? They have been tweaking a unique sound for some years now, and their most recent record "Mines" is a stand-out of the summer (if you don't have it, you should). How can I post songs on this blog? Lemme know and I'll post my favorite trax (tracks) from the album. I'm sure someone reading this knows how to do that. Seriously. And don't write it in non-english. I want something legible.

Above, you will find evidence of the sole visual and audio stimulation I have needed this summer. Above, you will also find that this summer I have created a textual way to convey more efficiently that I like to "chill out".

I trust that everyone else's summer has been number 1.

Respectively,

LCD Soundsystem (and Sleigh Bells!) Playing in Burlington

Do you regret not going to a festival this summer?

I was right there with you... Until I found out that LCD Soundsystem is coming to Burlington September 27!

Even better - Sleigh Bells is opening for them.


These are two of the best reviewed artists this year performing under the same roof in the same night.

I don't think anyone who frequents this blog needs anymore convincing as to why they should spend $38.50 (steep, I realize) to go see these guys.

Tickets went on sale last Friday and you can still get them here. I am positive this show will sell out.

Don't be the person desperately searching Craigslist last minute.
