i just bought tickets to lana del rey's show at bill graham civic auditorium in sf on april 18th. it could be really bad or really GOOD. this remix, however, is close to perfection.
Some genius thought to set one of the best tracks off the new Arcade Fire's record Reflektor to Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. Thanks internet.
spring cleaning. a walk in my favorite shirt. brief glimpses of clarity in the light reflecting off passing cars in the crosswalk. a breeze like sweet relief from the warmth of the sun. until a memory wraps itself around like a blanket and I seek the shade of a building we’ve walked under a dozen times. and then it passes and it’s gone, yet never as quickly as it comes.
AM & Shawn Lee - a duo that came through the Fox Theater in Oakland with likewise outstanding duo Thievery Corporation a couple weeks ago - released their first LP together earlier this month. Celestial Electric (of which you can scoop up from their Bandcamp page) is a blissed-out trip through your Dad's old AM radio. It siphons the best bits of soul and psychedelica, painting a lush soundscape comparable to what the Black Keys did for roots rock.
"Somebody Like You" is the hit. Mark my words.
Friends to the north RAC remixed LDR's epic "Blue Jeans," which has been remixed more times than the number of jeans you've owned in your lifetime. It's this or the Moonlight Matters remix taking the cake as best.
