HIPSTER RUNOFF

[MP3]
Air France GBG Belongs to Us

Analysis: I feel 'good' about having Air France in my iTunes library. I think they are conceptual, and use different noises in their music. I think like this. Feel like they might be a better executed version of a band like The Tough Alliances. Not sure 'how good' I think they are, but would probably listen to their album when I want to 'chill by myself' or 'have people over' or something.

The Very Best Warm Heart of Africa

Analysis: I think that this song features the lead bro of the hit blog buzz band 'The Vampire Twilight Weekends.' Kinda weird how vampires got so mainstream after that song 'go so big.' I am not sure how I am supposed to describe this song. It might be sort of like 'African' but might also 'sound like Panda Bear.' Feeling confused about how to 'interpret it.' Might not be 'cultured enough' to 'fully wrap my head around it.' Might read a p4k review of their album to have a better context/understanding [via number rating].

Delorean Deli

Analysis: I think this band remixed the Teenagers a while ago. Think that this song is 'pretty okay.' Reminds me of the Friendly Fires, but maybe not as directly meaningful. They are from Spain, so maybe there is a language/aesthetic barrier. Seems 'decently chill', though. Sort of enjoying it. Think they have a new EP coming out. Might be good, but might be 'forgettable.'

Papercuts Future Primitive

Analysis: Think this song is like 100 blog years old, but I 'only recently actually listened to it. I think I 'wrote them off' because they seemed like a 'forgettable band' with a sort of mediocre/gimimcky indie name. But I am 'really enjoying this song.' Seems like a more vulnerable-sounding version of Young Folks" by the PBJ. Really enjoying it. Wonder if it is 'secretly' a 'song of the year' candidate type of song [via according 2 respected blogs].

Have yall heard any relevant music lately?
Feels 'very good' to listen to music after not hearing it 4 such a long time. Might buy 'huge headphones'.

Sorry that I am not a 'pure mp3 blog n e more.' The mp3 economy has kinda been on hiatus, except for blogger who wanted to 'get more hits' by 'posting tracks from the latest anCo/Andrew Bird album', etc. Just want to give yall stuff that's worth being on ur iPod without having 2 read like 100 other blogs.

Thnx 4 trusting me as 'a tastemaker.'
Here are 3 meaningful mp3s.

[MP3 #1]
Phoenix - 1901

Phoenix has always been good. They are from France. Their albums have generally all been 'pop that people respect because it is well-crafted', but since the mp3 economy has been so dry lately, I think there is a high demand for this kind of accessible sound, so it will probably be 'moderately overhyped' and lead people to say 'it's not THAT good.' I have always wondered how their lead singer sounds so French when he sings. Think he is married to that Lost in Translation director lady. When this mp3 'dropped', it kinda reminded me of the glory days of 2k7, when all blogs posted the same mp3 on the same day, cuz it was 'so good/relevant.' Hopefully Q2+Q3 give us more new music to blog about than Q1 did. h8 u 2k9Q1.

Friendly Fires - Skeleton Boy (Air France Remix)

I have posted the original version of this song, in addition 2 various versions of their song "PARIS." This remix is supposed to be conceptual, I think. So while I am not sure if I actively 'like' it, I think it makes sense if u have a lot of time 2 kill and need something that sounds 'different.' I think not all remixes are supposed 2 be 'dance anthems', kind of like when AnCo remixes something. But yeah, I will keep it in my iTunes library, and reflect upon how much 'new music I sample/hear because it is free [via blogforks].'

CURSES! The Deep End (Holy Ghost! Remix)
I think this song is authentic disco. I remember when the electro era was ending, music started 2 sound like this. It is an upbeat, dark, urgent jam. Holy Ghost! is a pretty authentic band, so whenever they remix something, it is probably worth listening to. [mp3 hijack via discodust]

Is there a new 'buzzband' that every1 is 'blogging/talking about'?
Is there a 'new blog on the street' that I should pay attention 2 because it has impeccable taste and might singlehandedly save the bloghaus genre?
