Pretty Lights Remix
its tricky. tricky. tricky. tricky.
Colorado's Pretty Lights remixed Run DMC's classic "It's Tricky" with a live video to match from their recent sold-out Atlanta show:
Micachu & the Shapes
Why am I posting this with no new news or updates? Because its Thursday and that should be reason enough. How much do you love this track? Where does it take you? I kind of find it light and poppy until nearer to the end where I feel it is very Halloween appropriate led into a scary dark forest where you’ve lost your way.
And then you watch Ellen Paige dance to “Vulture” and it all makes sense. She got it completely right:
From the “Tracey Fragments” with original score by Broken Social Scene.
Ting Tings: Hang It Up
I missed you guys...!!!
UK's Ting Tings smashed, yes smashed their debut in 2008 with "We Started Nothing" overstuffed with extra fun pop energetic butterflies. Their return is so exciting!! The new track is "Hang It Up" and the video is just as fun as the duo. I love Katie White. She's pretty, fun, and is always jumping around in her videos and at her shows, magnetically making everyone around her jump right along...I still listen to "Be the One" nostalgically and think of my early 20's or mid 20's, whatever..same thing.
Welcome back Ting Tings <3.
New Artist: Acid Glasses
Acid Glasses – Jpeg Hoarder from Acid Glasses on Vimeo.
It took me about 5 seconds in to realize I love this song. Acid Glasses are Memphis based pop princesses. No, they are not pop princesses at all, press play on the video above and you’ll get an idea real fast of the adventure you’re about to take.
“My Pale Garden” is their debut record, out on Stroll On Records, also a debut for the label. With just three tracks, this new EP got the attention of Rough Trade in the UK, who deemed the sound akin to “mozart parties.” And we agree…
The amazing video is by Ouija Allin aka Nick Burk (one of the band members) and is described as “re-imagining Jim Morrison’s iconic peyote trip through a lens made kaleidoscopic by archive docmentary and talk show footage.”
Acid Glasses are playing a 2 day UK festival this weekend!? Info on Binnacle and ticket info here. 20+ bands each day- Single Day Tickets (£8) and Weekend Tickets (£12).
Motivation
Kelly Rowland’s new song with Lil Wayne “Motivation” is off of her new album, “Here I Am” and its bad-a**. The only thing more BA than the song is the video.
Kelly ’s currently on tour with Chris Brown and is promoting her new album with a contest where fans are asked to send in photos holding up a sign with the title of her album encouraging fans to be creative about showing who they are (yawn) well at least there’s some cool prizes like an ipad.
Micachu & The Shapes
Micachu & the Shapes have been around since 2006 but I recently discovered them. I’m most drawn to Mica Levi (the lead of the group’s) androgynous voice that I’ve fallen in love with…the UK act most recently released “Chopped and Screwed” on Rough Trade. One of the more recent tracks “Everything” is below. I also posted the video to 2008’s “Lips.” Mica previously collaborated with Jack Penate and forthebeat’s recent favorite, Ghostpoet.

Thunderheist: Jerk It
jerk it. jerk it. dust it off and work it.
Canada’s Thunderheist (electro/powerpop/thrash) may have recently retired and moved on to solo projects but before we say adieu, lets remember this fine 2009 moment…raunchy yet awesome.

Ellie Goulding- Lights (Bassnectar Remix)
Get lost in: The lights, the remix, Ellie playing the drums, neon lasers, all of it…if your mind starts to think that’s just computer trickeries and generations, no! I’ts real, its all real lasers and lights and floating shapes and objects. Believe it. Either way, I love it.
Ellie plays Terminal 5 tomorrow… sold outtttt. You can try and catch her at Best Buy Union Square on July 30 for her new album signing because apparently Best Buy is still in business down there, good job BB.
