This is not nearly as good as anything on his last album, but there’s lots of sexy makeup smearing going on in this new Vitalic video, for a song off his new album, Flash Mob.

The folks at Grandcrew.com have a new concert up for you to watch – De La Soul live in Paris. Yes, De La tends to be a bit heavy on the self-referential nostalgia, but these old boys still got it. Watch it here.

Please do yourself a favor and take a listen to Tape Deck Mountain. His new album, Ghost, due out 11/17 courtesy of Lefse Records, is a lo-fi but lush and emotional work of a talented new artist.
According to his PR, Travis Trevisan lost his job about a year ago and sat at home and made music. Sometimes, unemployment works wonders. Trevisan sings in a kind of Casiotone for the Painfully Alone monotone, but the fuzzy, dour, and always interesting musical arrangements that accompany his voice range from brief Guided By Voices and Pixies-influenced rock to more expansive excursions into post-rock soundscapes.
Tape Deck Mountain will be playing some California dates this November. Check his MySpace page for details.

It’s a Fool’s Gold pool party. Lizards, old men, ladies in bathing suits… just like pool parties when you were a kid.
This song has grown on me quite a bit. When you get past the indie-rock-meets-Africa trend going on these days, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, it’s not hard to hear that these guys know their shit and know how to play said shit quite well.

Seriously, Steve Aoki has a new video? Sure, why not, dude is in the motherfuckin’ house, and he wants you to know. He’s currently putting together his debut album, due out next year, and it’ll probably sound something like this. “I’m in the House” features the mystery MC, [[zuper blahq]]]. It also acts as something of a promo, shouting out every Dim Mak affiliated group there is.

This August, electro producer Felix Da Housecat will release He Was King (Nettwerk), which he describes as his most “pop” record to date. Check out the video for the song “Kickdrum”:
Update: my review for Blurt is running today.
Chicago-based electro producer Felix Da Housecat describes his latest, He Was King, as his most pop-oriented album to date. This is an accurate assessment – glitteringly, vacuously, mirthfully, erotically so. These are just some of the descriptors that can be applied to Felix’s new record, a dance-floor mixture of throbbing beats and synthesizer warbles that features guest vocalists on nearly every track. Tunes like “We All Wanna Be Prince” and “Do We Move Your World” represent the softer, pop-centric side of Felix’s vision, while the buzzing, blown-out “Kickdrum” and the alarm-blaring “Elvi$” find him fully immersed in acid and techno regalia.
For the most part, these two sides of the spectrum compliment each other nicely. There are lesser moments of musical lethargy (see “Turn Me On a Summer Smile”), but overall, Felix smartly and successfully melds the slick and the saccharine.

The Cribs (aka Johnny Marr’s other band) have a new video for “Cheat on Me,” a new single off their new album, Ignore the Ignorant, due out this November. It’s a bit slower than I would have expected, but it’s still good, satisfying indie pop. Watch below
