smorelectric tunes

continuing with the dj mixes, soulwax put together nearly two hours of sixty-three sort of girl-talky jams that weave in and out of each other faster than a school of fish avoiding hungry dolphins. this comp will probably make you want to mix your own favorite songs down to one track just for ease and fluidity of listening.

omar rodriguez-lopez - solar gambling (2009)



dude from mars volta. solar gambling literally screams of the energy and intensity that comprises the former. i picked this up for the album art and thoroughly enjoyed parts of the record. if i were a hardcore mars volta van i'd probably love this a lot more. either way, it's worth hearing/feeling.

omar rodriguez-lopez - miel del ojo

fader media collaborated with animal collective on their latest mag. this issue includes noah lennox interviewing eric copeland of black dice and brian weitz interviewing cast members from the state, among many other ac-related goodies, including music, film and art. the mag is fully and freely downloadable here in print and here as a beautifully mixed audio playlist starting with an abby portner jam that segues into what would i want? sky, which in turn morphs into black dice's earnings plus interest. so on and so forth for 45+ minutes, including the new panda bear/pantha du prince track, the splendour. this production offers an amazing recent insight to the band and the current goings-on of its affiliated, artsy compadres. this is super duper bluper highly recommended, especially if you dig ac.

there is so much life-affirming music out there. you should experience it.
