Perhaps a bit much?

So....not sure where to start with this.

Thanks to Audio Perv for the video

Ariel Pink & Co had their network TV debut on Jimmy Fallon last night (in the battle with Conan for the quest to be more indie)and despite his recent shitty performances, this wasn't horrible.  But it wasn't "Oh man, I'm gonna blow up now that I'm on NBC" good.  I could barely get through that last sentence without laughing, NBC stinks on ice.  Maybe its that they look like a sequence version of The Turtles or the fact that their bassist looks like a real live black haired version of Janice the muppet from the Electric Mayhem band or that Ariel Pink stole my Nana's glasses and looked bored as hell.

I heard they didn't even write they're own songs.

Oh shit.  Thats a guy. Sorry Tim...

Regardless, that song is still amazing and the CD is great but this live act thing is a train wreck in my opinion.  Thanks to Phrequency & Gab Bonghi for putting this on my radar.  Get it together Pink! 

(I wanna make a Dazed & Confused reference, but I'll hold off)

The Neverending Bender (Part 2)

Its totally like that movie where I ride a mythical creature in the sky to my next destination.  Which happened to be the Mad Decent Block Party.  Missed last years for reasons unknown, but remembered how much fun I had two years ago and everything was just fallin into place.  My obsession with Diplo and all things MD are well documented and I push it on my friends AA 24/7.  I have a large puerto rican friend I chum around with who has also caught the fever and has been busy getting his business off the ground.  As the gods would have it, he magically had the day off.  I mentioned nothing of the fantasticness and ludacity (I'm starting my own dictionary) that would take place only that we were going to a block party on 12th and Spring Garden.  Here is what we were in store for:

Good Day Just Got Better

When it rains it pours my friends.  I was led to believe that Making Time had an announcement to make today at 5 and what did they lay upon us.  That this years Making Time Summer of Radness finale will be headlined by the band I never stop telling people about LCD Soundsystem.  If you haven't started listening to them, most people in my shoes would mock you and point and laugh, but hear at exact change we realize that will get you nowhere except being a music geek with no friends to share it with.  I encourage you all to start listening now, because as a friend once told me, LCD could be the Talking Heads of the blog generation (too soon to tell?).  Influential beyond comprehension to majority of the music I talk about on here and amazingly catchy dance tunes.  Visit the making time is rad site and get your tickets ASAP.  You can also get them at the Last Drop Coffee Shop.  You should follow these people on twitter to keep updated: David Pianka & Making Time is Rad as well as read Phrequency cause they are one of the few sources of good music knowledge in the city.  So to recap, that Friday I will be dancin myslf clean and I will wake up uber early and go check out a ishload of free music in Baltimore here.  Again you are welcome for bringing you the funk.

Weekend Music

Quick recap of a concert I went to on Friday at Voyuer "Making Time".  Always love these parties and was pissed I missed Neon Indian earlier this year.  Holy Ghost! opened up and I was interested to see them play as a band, as I was only familiar with their remix work of Phoenix and the like.  They did not disappoint and kept the crowd riled up for the main act.  The Rapture killed it, per usual, and it was a sweaty sweaty dance fest that had more cowbell involved than I know what to do with.  You could have rung out my shirt when I left there.  Caught up with some good friends, saw some awesome music, and cut a rug.  All in all a bueno Friday night.  Check out phrequency's review/photos of the show for a pro's take.  It's amateur hour here at the exact change offices.

Holy Ghost! & The Rapture

Via RVNG Intl.: Making Time Party @ Voyuer next week!

 

Cannot wait to see both of these acts next week.  Be there or be square people!  Or else I'll have Squints Palledorous come to your house and call you an "L 7 Weiner".  You don't want that do you?

Mixtape Galore!!

I know I need to get off Mad Decent, Diplo, etc dick, but you can't help it when he is from the area and just constantly putting out good stuff to listen to.  This is summer fire!  I guarantee.  Jay-Z, Ludacris, a new Major Lazer track, Rihanna, and to top it off a remix of Say it Ain't So by Weezer.  I mean how can you blame me for wanting to spread this fantasticness (is that a word?).  It is now.
