Electric Feel

Just got turned onto this indie rock band from Brooklyn, NY this past week, and everday since I have run across them somewhere on the web. They just released their first major label album, Oracular Spectacular, on Columbia Records in January of this year. The electro group Justice have remixed their popular track Electric Feel. I just found it today with a little hunting but it sounded funny through the laptop speakers so I figured I should sound check it on something else before I post it. So stayed tuned. For now here is the original off the album.

MGMT - Electric Feel

Breakbot

I don't know a whole lot about this guy except that he is french and a part of that whole french electro revolution that has been taking the world by storm for a few years now. I found out about him while surfing blogs a while back and have kept coming back to his tunes. I a lot that electro stuff is great but I don't really crave it or listen to it over and over again. There is something different about breakbot, something infectious. Here are the two tunes that I believe came out together on a 12" sometime in the past year.

Bo Diddley Rest In Peace

Bo Diddley is and always will be one of the baddest motherfuckers to ever grace a stage period! A true pioneer of music. There will never be another anything like him. It is hard for me to imagine rock and roll with out him.
