La Musique Pour Moi

Ok, coming in with a BaNG! is Benzel with a new track "WASTED LOVE" with hot vocals hailing from London, Stevie Neale.

SUMMER BAND-AID RADIO 2012 from kallo1007 on 8tracks.

Kids it happens.

I've been stuck with my studies, school, work and relationships (or lack of). Today I posted a new post with a band that's been around awhile but hasn't made the airwaves (*yet). Just like Gotye which has become a Billboard top player on the radios lately, its a bit annoying now, but nonetheless the hit single "Somebody I Used to Know" graced this very blog 9 months ago.

My iPod is laced with hundreds of amazing tracks that I can't wait to share. I'm excited to post and hear feedback.

From time to time when I can I'll post the mp3's in high quality but in some cases I might have pull them down due to RIAA restrictions. But I will always INSIST that you please support the hard efforts of the artists'. They make millions on one song, but if it wasn't for their inspiring creativity + talent; I would not be able to share it with you.

Everything works full circle in life. LISTEN -> ENJOY -> SHARE -> BUY.

> > > Simple, right? < < <

All the best,

Why? Well, they are going to be a big name soon. They are also one of my favorite new bands. Trust me, you would hate to have missed out on an opportunity of being an early Young Empires fan. These guys have all the tools to break out and be the next big dance sensation. Young Empires are a three piece that formed in October 2009 out of Toronto. They have already played alongside acts like Sleigh Bells & Wave Machines since. They have a sound that you may compare to the likes of Friendly Fires and Cut Copy, two very excellent bands. There are only a few songs on their myspace right now, but the band has personally given me one of their songs to share with you. It is called “Rain Of Gold “. It literally does rain on you with gold sounds of perfect dance-rock that has its fare share of tribal influences sprinkled within from the light flute or tropical drums.

“Rain Of Gold” shines because its so crisp and full of energy. It has an incredible groove that channels the early days of some of my favorite acts out there: The Rapture & Yeasayer. The song is only a demo, yet it sounds so natural and ready to be shared with the masses.

Can you say summer jam of 2012? Get it: Young Empires "Rain of Gold"

Arthur Russell "Make 1, 2 (Pat Les Stache Extended Edit)" by ghewey

Okay. This is fucken blowin' my mind. Pat Les Stache Extended Edit makes the feeling last longer. But I dig both versions.

This is lounge, very loungy and shouldn't need any introduction. Arthur Russell's lo-fi sounds are perfect for all forms of couch session, and his song "Make 1 2" is no different. Sprinkled with horns, percussion and a gently persuasive keyboard line, "Make 1 2" should fit in perfect rotation at my next BBQ rooftop mix.

This is one funky man with a whole-lot of soul and R&B, shaken with jazz and vocal synthesizers!!

Although Russell passed in 1992 what is now 19 years ago his tracks are definitively in rotation.

CHEERS!

Reckless (With Your Love) - Azari & III by modularpeople

The classic Roland drum machine sound gives a real old school Detroit style vibe, it really helped with “inner City” and “stings of life” style chords resonating in the background throughout. Stacks of Jack- then you get the vocals, they are outstanding!

Austra - Lose It by DominoRecordCo

Austra is comprised of lead singer Katie Stelmanis, drummer Maya Postepski and bassist Dorian Wolf. Together they craft new wave-esque pop songs with classical/operatic overtones.

Those overtones are provided by Stelmanis; whom at the age of 10 joined the Canadian Children’s Opera, sang for the Canadian Opera Company, and pursued a career in opera until she decided that she wanted to “make classical music with really fucked up, distorted crazy shit on there.” That mixture of classical music, and “fucked up, distorted crazy shit” is all over Feel It Break, the trio’s debut album out 5/17 via Domino in the U.S. and Paper Bag Records in Canada.

One of my favorite songs off the album (of which there are many) is “Lose It”—a shimmering new-wave dance pop song that features Stelmanis stunning operatic voice. I love it. Matter of fact, I loved it on first listen. Listen (and grab it) below.

-- A La Musique Pour Moi Compilation Mix --

YES. YEX. SEX!! This is a homage to my favorite LA night club. The theme nights are naughty, outrageous and down-right erotic debauchery. But while DJ Josh Peace is spinnin' disco-pop mixes and local talent that comes thru DJ'ing, the crowd is keeping the theme nights alive.

​When Luke Nero moved to Los Angeles, he brought the hippest gay club in New York City with him. But as the doors opened last night at Bardot for the first installment of the Tuesday night party MR BLACK LA, one had to wonder if a club whose identity is based on its association with the movers and shakers of NYC nightlife could work here. The answer is yes.

Nero's plan is golden. He's not recreating New York so much as he's using the original club as blueprint to develop an event that is truly local. For the opening of mr. BLACK, he collaborated with Gregory Alexander (A Club Called Rhonda), Lenora Claire (Golden Gals Gone Wild) and Rusty Updegraff (Beige) to bring in a cross-section of the city's nightlife denizens. Between the three hosts, the party cultivated a large and eclectic crowd.

Dum Dum Girls - Coming Down by subpop

The latest single from the group, “Coming Down” is an echo-laced, reverb-drenched gem that’s dramatic enough to be moving and jams hard enough to make your eardrums beg for more. I always come away impressed when I hear new material from these gals, and I can’t wait for the September 27th release of Only In Dreams on Sub Pop.

Don't be fooled by these sexy ladies dressed in laced black from head to toe, they can f**king rock. Must listen on a loud stereo and turned preferable at a high volume. Also check out the cover of THE SMITHS they did at the bottom

Architecture In Helsinki - Contact High by modularpeople

There might be hope in architecture...well at least in music.

Architecture in Helsinki releases a new single with a video that make a very sexy pair. I could only hope that the same could be said of LA's failing buildings that stand as supposedly business and so-called "period apartment complexes".

FYI: The 60s are over! Knock down that out of code building!! >_<

I ranted, you read, now enjoy the video + track.

Somebody That I Used To Know (feat. Kimbra) by Gotye

---

Experimental songwriter Gotye, is tackling the Sydney Opera House. His new album, entitled Making Mirrors, will be launched as part of Sydney's Graphic Festival, with an orchestra accompanying the performance. "Somebody That I Used To Know" is the album's haunting second single, about the ever-painful act of severing ties with a former lover. It features vocals by Kimbra, and an amazing music video to boot. The bonus of the song is a remix by their fellow Australians RÜFÜS, a three-piece electropop group who look set to do big things.

Most original EPs released stand on their own, but to me it seems the remix help carry it a little further. Take a listen to both as they are pleasurable to the ears.

Best Coast - Our Deal by musicmule

On the track "Our Deal", Best Coast's sunny garage-pop takes on an old-school country lilt that taps into a musical ancestry that runs deeper and further back than the girl-group echoes of previous singles. "Our Deal", like everything lead singer, Bethany Cosentino has released so far, is both innocent and longing, and those qualities feed off each other instead of pulling her in different directions. She's not trying to break our heart, but if it happens, she doesn't mind.

Cosentino sings simply and directly about simple, direct emotions-- no mirrors, no pretenses, guard totally down. But here, she's talking about not talking: "I wish you would tell me how you really feel/ But you'll never tell me, 'cause that's not our deal."

The song doesn't beg, plead, or come close to anything quite so theatrical; it's a shrug of bummed indifference. She'd like things to be different but she's knows the score-- and anyway, fuck it.

[Review via Pitchfork]

* Also as a bonus here is a rough studio demo from B. Coast via their twitter. It may be a bonus on their second LP says Bethany, titled: "How They Want Me To Be" - mp3

----

Make no mistake about it Drew Barrymore directed their new single "Our Deal" with some big names added to the cast; Chloe Moretz (Kick-Ass, Let Me In), Tyler Posey (Teen Wolf) and Disney's own iCarly, Miranda Cosgrove. Also with an extended cast (Alia Shawkat, Donald Glover, and Shailene Woodley).

On a side note, I kinda wish that they could have made room for a cameo from Thylane Blondeau, the European 10 year old model/print sensation. Wouldn't that be sickk!?!

The video was shot around Downtown LA in the suburbia and illegal on rooftops. The story follows an adorable story of beautiful gang members who feud in the present of time; Day Trotters & Night Crawlers.   

Drew likes to draw out the cliche's of past movie film-noir where each gang has a name they live up too (i.e. Grease movie in 1978 with John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John, they were called the T-Birds & The Pink Ladies).
