Everybody Dancing Now

I like the C and C music company...

 Here are some awesome things happening in the indieverse:

Cut Copy just released their new album, its the tits.  Sounds from all over the place.  Give it a listen on their free stream here!

I thought this was pretty cool.  Datarock is coming out with new music, an EP and a LP to be exact.  Here's the cool thing, they are packing those two awesome things with all their other albums (including remix albums and b-sides), and a plethora (thanks word of the day calendar!) of pics all on a custom USB toy.  

I'm impressed with the marketing idea.  Here is a free track off their new EP called Catcher in the Rye. [via SKOA]

TORO Y MOI ROUNDUP

Toro y Moi is all I've been reading about for the past week.  It's unbelievable.  You'd think that ol' Chazzy is the second coming.  I can't blog everyday because i have a regular job that requires my actual attention, but there was no fucking way possible to keep up with his 'buzziness'.  Here's a recap of everything I've compiled from their upcoming album "Underneath the Pine" over the last few days:

Middle of December - He drops "Still Sound" on us for free[via Stereogum]

Got a video to go along with it [via We All Want Someone To Shout For]:

Then here at the end of January, we got the second single.  Which I have "borrowed" (for the good of the people!) [via GvB]:

Toro Y Moi "New Beat" by carparkrecords

Then we got a fake video, and subsequently the official video for this bad boy:

Toro Y Moi - "New Beat" (Official Video) from Urban Outfitters on Vimeo.

Lastly, he gave the album to Urban Outfitters (you read that right) to stream away.  Go nuts.  I was a huge fan of Causers of This and I'm already feeling this album.  It comes out Feb 22nd.  Go away winter...

Here are some other equally awesome gems:

Tobacco remixes the Go Team!, makes em better...

[via SKOA]

Javelin remixes this band I've not yet gotten into 'The Holidays', I have to assume this is also better.  I do that, make things work for my benefit. 

[via A Heart Is a Spade]

The Hood Internet remixed Arcade Fire and Blondie.  Works perfect.

RCRD LBL is the best thing for catching new music for free that I am aware of.  If you know of something else, I'd like to hear it.  Here is Holy Ghost's new joint, which is rad/free...

I managed to make it to Making Time last week to see Le Femme and Small Black.  I hadn't heard of Le Femme other than Dave P telling me they've got "futuristic sounds".  What else is new?  I did know Small Black though.  They are a electronic outfit that apparently is/was Washed Out's backing band.  Anywho, Phrequency shares some sweet photos of the show (I'm in there somewhere and I look extremely composed and sober) and posted their latest video which is from Stereogum:

Been So Funkin' Busy

A lot has happened, that is of interest to me, in the last week.  Phils have gone on a tear as of lately, finishing up a sweep of the Rockies today.  Training camp started for the birds.  Union, betrayed me, and played their biggest game of the year against Man U in a stadium other than the one that was built for them.  Those S.O.B's...see what I did there?  You can't teach that.

More to the fact, while most summers are normally devoid of concerts I'm pumped to see.  This summer has been jam packed full of them.  In the last week I jumped in on Kid Sister & GANG, unfortunately I missed majority of the xPonential festival which had some real good acts over 3 days, saw the spectacle that is Die Antwoord while being pleasantly surprised by Midnight Juggernauts at Vuvuzelafest 2k10, sweated my ass off at Deadmau5 (he apparently plays better when he's angry - Adv. Rusko), and capped it off by perusing the mart at the Punk Rock festival.  Some general thoughts:

• GANG played a kick ass set which included a cover of "Killing in the Name Of".  You pull off Rage, you win in my book.  Kid Sister will be a big deal soon enough, IMO.

• I'm over Die Antwoord, I'll admit I bought into the schtick but after Making Time on Friday, I have no doubt that they are not for real.  God bless the hype machine built around the Ninja & Co. but it's not cutting it.  Don't agree and think their sliced bread good, go read someone who may/may not also care.

• Wearing an American flag mau5head was a bunch of dreams come true all at once.  They include loving/repping America hardcore, wearing costumes for no reason, and generally being the most awesome you can be at all times.  And yes, that's a Triple P shirt, that is how I roll.
