FoeWeel !!! ???

Here’s my ultimate music festival and it would be either on a remote island, or at Golden Gate Park in August. There are old and new, alive and dead, and everything in between, so I can only dream. Oh yeah, there would only be 500 people because that way I am less likely to be standing next to the drunk girl that keeps talking, the guy with his shirt off pointing his index finger randomly in the air, or the couple that just ate some chocolates and laughs at everything slow and dark.

I am truly excited about Coachella on Sunday. I will actually get to experience a Plastikman show, see Sly & The Family Stone and Thom Yorke as well as Talvin Singh in one evening.

Here are some of the performers for that Sunday at Coachella:

Sly & The Family Stone – Que Sera Sera – From the incredible 1973 release Fresh, a cover that exceeds the original as well as the soundtrack to the ending of Heathers.

Plastikman – Ethnik (Paco Osuna Remix) – Off of the Plus 8 100 Remixes release. This is the moniker that started the devastation and the following that continues to evolve and can only be experienced in a live setting.

Talvin Singh – Piya Milan (Radio Edit) – A producer and master tabla player who makes some of the most challenging yet accessible music.

Thom Yorke – Hearing Damage – A new track that clearly steals, or was heavily influenced by the Modeselektor buzzy bass line.

Elevator, 2008

Distance and space. from people. in between words. pauses. thoughts. gazes. your stride. your perception of reality. of memories. a smell. a sound. an act. what causes one to remember one moment versus another.
i remember looking out the rear windshield of my dad’s car when i was about 5 yrs old. it was right by where we were living at the time, and i guess it was a perfect frame for my memory of the tall trees with leaves falling from the impending darkness of winter. i remember telling myself that i would remember this picture. i would capture this moment.
transition. letting go. to start again. the leaves falling, the eyes opening………

Here are some beats for your day of humpness. Trentemoller being the common thread with a bit of Pole, Modeselektor and Thom Yorke.

Lulu Rouge – Lulu’s Theme (Feat. Trentemøller)

Trentemøller – Miss You (Pole Remix)

Modeselektor – The White Flash ft. Thom Yorke (Trentemøller Remix)

I am not doing a “best of” list this year. I had some songs and some albums put together, but I figure if you go through my posts throughout the year, you can find out what I dig/dug. As most of the tracks are still up for your listening or d-loding pleasure, go dig. I actually did put together a list of best albums which is on a friend’s new site which should be ready sometime next year, so…… Instead of lists, I put together a compilation of songs, some old, some new, some crude…..some just hard-to-find.

People Press Play – Always Wrong
Ben Benjamin – Selective Periphera nov1
Thom Yorke – A Rat’s Nest
Mikkel Metal – Brikan
Saul Williams – Black Stacey (Deadbeat Remix)
Matthew Dear – Deserter
Pinback – Devil You Know
Spoon – Black Like Me – Spoon
Franz Ferdinand – All My Friends (LCD Soundsystem Cover)
Nina Simone – Since I Fell For You
Cold War Kids – Electioneering (Radiohead Cover)
Diplo – Young Folks Pussy
