What the Hell is This?

I just found a cool track while shuffling some Chip Tunes. Then, I looked over Youtube to check if there was a cool clip, and I found this:

I must admit I really like.

Late Night Dark Dance

Even if I prefer good times to bad times, there is something appealing about the dark side of twisted minds. Sometimes, the idea of an happy ending isn't entertaining. And if you understand me here, you'll get that it does not have to be associated with depression or sadness. It's like being the bad guy, who's still haunted by his strange and dark past. I think the motivational poster summarize it well.

First, a great remix of Paradise Circus



This one has something hypnotizing. Maybe the drums.


Finally, the band who describe Dark Dance the best to me. If you like that stuff, I strongly encourage you checking out for more She Wants Revenge (especially the first and second album).

iPod shuffling

It's always nice to find back little treasury when shuffling on your iPod. Here's my discovery of the day, some hard electro remix of Death From Above 1979.

Edit: Keeping shuffling brought me back another great track, which I must share with you. 

Polish Girl

Back from Philadelphia, celebrated New Years Eve there. We went to that kind of dirty club, The Roxxy (take a look at these pics if you wanna know how dirty it can be), but pretty cool in the end. I mean, I think it's fairly justifiable to let loose some times, whatever it implies (supposing you're not hurting other people feelings), and the people going down to that club knows of to do it (except for some occasional fights you don't want to get involved to...).

Oh, and by the way, if you think making believe you're from Poland to some chicks is a good ice breaker, make sure they are not from Poland first... This left me stuck with Polish Girl from Neon Indian all the way back home. Happy New Year!

Miike Snow

There's one artist I absolutely cannot pass by on this blog: Miike Snow. Their first album is such a masterpiece: ALL the songs on it are awesomely blurring my thoughts. It was hard, but I selected my top 3 songs. If you like it, I strongly suggest you to look for the others tracks, you won't be deceived.

Burial

Song for no One

A Horse is not a Home

Glass Candy

My last discovery, wich I've immediatly felt in love with. Can't barely describe it, others have chosen the words "Nu Disco Electronica". It's the most accurate description I have so far. I'll let you make your own opinion. Actually, I really feel like listening so some Candy made from Glass... :P

Geto Boys - Glass Candy

Candy Castle - Glass Candy

I Always Say Yes (Baron Von Luxxury Remix) - Glass Candy

Musical dopamine

Couldn't have forgotten to post a few tracks from Crystal Castles, would have been unfair. Although they still pretty underground, this Ontario based group is slowly gaining popularity around the world.

Discovered Crystal Castles something like 2 years ago, from a girl I used to frequent, and God might tell me when I'll die why they're the ones who know the right tunes to hook me in ...

Crystal Castles is one of the band that I often forget, due to the massive inflow of music I discover every week, but that I rediscover with oh so much pleasure. Their original sound always find a way through my mind to hit my nerve center and release what I like to call "musical dopamine", what I think "pop music" does not have at all (happens exceptionally). It's like a book; sometimes, after having read a whole page of one of those boring school books, you realize you did not get anything from the message sent to you; you don't even remember a line of it... But if you fall on a great novel, you'll probably keep reading cause you always need more. The same is true with music; it will often pass trough your mind, letting you indifferent as a grape in a vineyard.

When listening to Crystal Castles, this is not happening. I get hooked, every time, by the simplest "double-octave" bass lines, the straight continuous drum beats and the melodic, entertaining keyboard riffs. For those who are wondering, the original sound comes from the bright idea of modeling Atari's sounds with a keyboard.

Crystal Castles first made their name with their electro-trash unique style, but don't get fooled, they do compose great vibe tunes too. Here are a few of my favorite tracks, plus, a bonus: the Omnibus mix, which makes an awesome exposition of Crystal Castles original tracks and remixes.
