Album of the Year Nominee #1



This artist collective really came in under the radar this year, but I luckily saw one of their ads while watching A&E at about 4 in the morning.  Their post ironic/grindnoise/queercore sound might put some people off initially, but it really is the feelgood album of the year.  The uplifting sounds really seem to be speaking to the listener.  I imagine it will round out most critic's top 10 lists for 2008.

The Unstoppable Combination of Pugs, Eames 670, and Frankie Valli

If you've seen the Adidas House Party commercial, you've heard this song. Remixed by Pilooski, another in the long line of fine Parisian DJ's.

Minnesota Music

In honor of my trip up to the old haunts this week, I'll feature a couple of artists from the Twin Cities.
 
Brother Ali- Badass albino hip-hop.
 
Jeremy Messersmith is getting a ton of plays on CIties 97 in Minneapolis right now since his song 7:02 was featured on Cities Sampler Vol. 20. I've read he is an "upbeat Elliot Smith."
 
Pumped to drive around in my rental and listen to MPR: The Current and Cities 97.

Daft Punk Does Lex

I could not resist this.  Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer Women's Fashion Show in Paris.  Guy and Thomas remix a set that climaxes with a mash-up of Lex by Ratatat and Technologic.  All this before the grand finale where they go after what is basically their own: Stronger by Kanye.


You probably know Ratatat from "17 Years" featured in an old Hummer commercial.  With a song called "Lex" and another called "Wildcat" (off the Classics album), I was sure that they had Kentucky ties.  No such luck- they're from Brooklyn.  Anyway, these dudes are awesome on their own, but it seems to me that Daft Punk could remix Maura's karaoke and make it a winner.  I haven't even mentioned the YouTube Vuitton models.

Here's the full track list from the fashion show mix:

01 Aerodynamic - Daft Punk
02 Human After All - Daft Punk
03 Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger - Daft Punk
04 Sexual Sportswear (SebastiAn Remix)
05 Da Funk - Daft Punk
06 Touch It - Busta Rhymes
07 Lex - Ratatat
08 Stronger - Kanye West
