Ummm... Check Headphone Sex for the Emperor Machine of the almighty Knifes "Marble House" if you know whats good for you. Just those two names in the same sentence is enough to freak me out. Synthy spacey funky and lllloooooonnnggg (I loves me an epic) this is what they should play on Space Mountain.

Heres a quick one for the Bowman. A great old catchy ass garage rock jam by The Outcasts. If anyone knows anything about this band Id love to know. All I can find netwise is a punk band under the same name or duh, Outkast. Not what I want. Anyway Bumrocks posted this in late 05/early 06 and with me it was an instant classic. Fuzzed out guitars, vocals that sound sung in the apartment next door and oooooo ooooooo oh oh backup singers make me so so happy. Sorry I never burned it for you dude. But hey you got it now.

The Outcasts- Lovin You Sometimes

And check out Mike B's hot live mix he just upped at the Egg Exchange (is that really the new name? So awesome). Its all in the mix. Even Peter Schilling.

Roedelius is a musician/composer who has worked with Brian Eno and Conny Plank among many others. Despite the fact that he has a gigantic catalog, unfortunately most titles are difficult to track down (at least for me). This is Wenn Der Sudwind Weht, the first track of his 1981 album of the same name. Its a beautiful immersive track of warm analog noodling (that sounds so dirty) perfect for a slow psychedelic Sunday.

Concentrick is a side project of Tim Green of The Fucking Champs, otherwise known as The Bay Area Riff Machine. Not really. The 2002 album Luciddreaming is an all out balls to the wall um... krautrock/newage/vangelisandjeanmicheljarreandbrianeno jammingonvicodin kind of affair. New albums by Concentrick and Fucking Champs coming this year. Check em out.

Concentrick- Secret in the Shallows and the Sky

Sugar Yoshinaga of Buffalo Daughter and Yoshimura Yuka of OOIOO combine forces for Metalchicks. Their new album St Wonder came out last year and parts have been part of my steady diet. Theres metal, electro, some ren faire type stuff, blah blah blah. Its all over the map is what Im sayin. The Banquet Over Memory of My Mother rolls with the rest of the post while St. Wonder (Theme Of St. Michael) builds on a organ loop, adds angelic choral vocals and then explodes into breakbeat powermetal complete with cowbell and squalling guitar all in one 9 minute epic. Something that leaves you dazed and smiling through a mouthful of blood. Eww.

Thanks to the inspirato of Mike B and Scot (Dont Go!) I'm finally entering the game. After thinking for far too long about what my first post should be, something thematic? Something that sums up what this page will be all about? I decided to say fuck it and post something bangin. Heres one I think got lost in the shuffle late last year with the overabundance of indiehipsterelectronewrave madness floating around, hasn't this whole scene heard of overexposure? Jesus. Its a remix of I Am Finn's I Love You by the always lovely Van She Tech. Between them and the Bag Raiders the Aussie team is killin it right now (Cut Copy where are you?). Starts off with a great early 90s dance bassline some choppity glitchy vocals, then sirens and full on pumpin rave madness. Hold onto your pacifiers people. Check VSTs myspace. That remix of Teenager's Alone Again is amazing. Need a copy of that. Heres a couple bonuses too.
