Disco Love
I usually hate posting things that I just pick up off other blogs, but I just found this over at Discodust and it’s freaking awesome. Summery, lovey, synthey disco gooey goodness from NY’s own Lovelock.
Lovelock – Maybe Tonight
Much love to the Discodust bloggers, I won’t even change up the tags

Day Job
Just wanted to give a brief heads up as to why there will be no posts the next few days. I’ll be heading down to NYC for some lovely fieldwork, as, unfortunately, I have a real job. I will try my hardest to catch Sebastien Tellier @ Hiro on Wednesday night, but the [...]

MSTRVW
I ran into Jesse F. Keeler of MSTRKRFT last Friday at Camp Bisco. He had just driven from Toronto and was slated to play a 90 minute set during the Biscuits set break. That got cut to 75 minutes, the food sucked, and there were no good mixers for booze. Jesse found [...]

Camp Bisco VII
I’m back. Camp Bisco VII in Mariaville, NY this past weekend was quite an adventure. Three days of music and mayhem in an upstate NY venue controlled by the Hell’s Angels – it’s a hard picture to paint for someone who’s never been to one of these, so I’ll focus on the music.
Thursday’s [...]

11am and I’m angry already
Things that grind my gears:
1. Calling the Biofuels situation a “dilemma.” It’s not. It’s piss-poor US & EU policy. Stop subsidizing (non-cellulosic) ethanol and the “dilemma” is solved.
2. Edit: Posers.
3. The fact that Ithaca has a different set of horrible drivers from out of town every weekend. The next [...]

Same as it ever was
I’ve been noticing how lately the music scene online is a bit saturated. I love how blogs unearth great, deserving talent – I was able to follow the Beetroots & Crookers to the mainstream thanks to people out there. However, these days you need to wade through lots of garbage to find that [...]

Saturation
Back from a silly July 4th weekend, the humidity is out of control. I can deal with the cold in Ithaca without a problem, but sometimes the summer gets pretty rough. I slow down to the point where I can’t think straight.
Here’s a thumper that reminds me of rain forests with 90% rel. [...]

Dirty Sheets
I got a tap on the shoulder from the Swiss duo, Love Motel. These guys look like the kind of ballers I can only hope to be loosely associated with one day. They’ve had the likes of Grum, Leonard de Leondard, and Cryptonites remix a lot of their work – check that shit out HERE. [...]

Hot Biscuits
July 17, 18, and 19 will be one crazy weekend for festivals in upstate New York. If you’re staying local in Ithaca, you have the annual Grassroots festival in Trumansburg. Their headliners are for the older, wiser crowd: Donna the Buffalo, Lucinda Williams, etc., but be sure to check out some of the [...]

Don’t Feed The Animals
So, Girl Talk’s new album, “Feed The Animals” has been released. It doesn’t even come close to “Night Ripper” and most of the mashups sound the same (dirty south rap vs. eclectic tune). It’s available online at IllegalArt.net for a price that you name, so don’t take my word for it and check it out.
