Gotta love lulzy hipsters!
The only authentic way to listen to this album is via a rip of it being streamed on Ustream through a cassette player.

Just came back from the Chris Cunningham show at the Opera House as part of the Vivid Sydney Festival; in short it was a great way to spend a Sunday evening. He opened with his audiovisual mix of Gil Scott-Heron's New York is Killing Me (as above) which, after seeing it in the Opera House, has become one of my favourites.

The Chemical Brothers did a mixtape as an ode for Pete Tong (Essential Mix bro) and it included a never-before released track of their remix of Massive Attack's 'Teardrops'.
The mixtape that the Chemical Brothers prepared for Pete Tong's 20 year celebration can be found just below; but the full programme along with some live music and interviews can be found here.

68irret shared this album with me one lazy weekend and it was pretty brilliant! Mux Mool is Brian Lindgren -bro from Minnesota.
Mux is short for ‘multiplexing,’ which is the streaming of many types of information through one channel and Chac-Mool is an ancient Meso-American statue of a reclining man.

This is misleading for two reasons. There is no bear, and there really isn't a heaven.
But there are lovesick teenagers, they are from Brooklyn and sound sad ( in a good way).

Totally forgot about how good this was when it first came out. The entire album was a treat! One of my personal favs particularly was the fifth track - the Drug. It's a bit more mellow but reminds me a lot of Aphex Twins' Pulsewidth (from his selected ambient works album).

Washed Out Mixtape - The Fantastic Symphony
Definitely a fantastic symphony as the name suggests, this was released around 2009 which accompanied an interview done by Platform. I think Ernest Greene explains it best in the interview:
The mix is meant to narrate different episodes of one continuous dream. My dreams have a life-like quality to them, but are always skewed in really subtle ways. That is the way I think of most of these songs.
TRACKLISTING:
1. Arch M – “Bedrm Band at Caf NVA (edit)”
2. The Samps – “Magnetic Thys”
3. Samiyam – “Wrap Up”
4. Toro Y Moi – “Brubek”
5. Koushik – “Homage”
6. Osborne – “Afrika (Bullion Remix)”
7. Iasos – “Inter-Dimensional Music”
8. Jack Nitzsche – “Untitled (edit)”
9. The Khalsa String Band – “Song of Bliss”

Not an official video, but digging the footage used alongside one of my favourites from BOC. Apparently came from some rare Japanese experimental short film about a woman and a boy playing on a staircase. Totally DEEP.

Epic bladerunner disco-esque stuff from Adelaide bro Luke Million. Octobussy Part 2 (Oxygene Mix) is my favourite!

Brilliant first-release track from Digitalism's latest EP which first surfaced around mid October. No Pogo, but this track almost got me mistaking them for Daft Punk and their heavy electric guitar synth thing. Currently have it on heavy rotation at work and bobbing my head away through it all. Won't be surprised if this started getting heavy rotation on the radio soon and some remixes, but probably not until people get over Duck Sauce and that Barbara Streisand tune.

These fellas are just on the other side of Australia (Perth); fancy that! They recently got picked up by french disco label Tigerlily and will have this track released along with others on a compilation. Currently digging this tune: hearing some aeroplane x a mellow petshop boys influence in this.

Work has made me appreciate my free time digging around for new things to play and/ or listen to. And usually my free time is either on public transport or whilst driving (basically, the times I'm in transit). And thanks to the amazing thing called the radio, I heard this nifty Pivot remix of Temper Trap's Fader.
A Pivot touch to anything is always a marvelous thing to hear

Picked this up on Scott Hansen's blog, who's a San Fran based DJ and designer and has a lot of really nifty stuff on his blog. He loves Washed Out as well and picked up a mashup that Violens did with Slowdive's Souvlaki Space Station and Washed Out's Feel it all Around. As a mashup it's probably not the best thing out there, but I love them both so much and it's great to pick up on their familiar melodies.
It's available on a mixtape that you can find on their website.

Barbra Streisand.
Barbra Streisand.
Barbra Streisand.
You can now dance/ rave/ bob your head with joy, hearing Barbra Streisand's name. Over and over again. Heaps of play time on triple j lately; but damn it's catchy!

This is mildly confusing. Is this brand affiliation at work here? Does this now make her... cool, hip and appealing to young folk now? Does listening to this change the way you listen to her old songs? Will she have hipster cred?

Flying Lotus is Steven Ellison. He's currently signed with Warp records; that alone will summarise what you can expect from his stuff. If you can put a bit of space electro, hip hop and jazz into a blender and turn it into a consumable for your ears, this is what you'll get as a result. His album was brought to my attention via "Do the Astral Plane" and its unique blend of electro, groove and opera elements. But what really got me hooked was "Zodiac Shit"; it's lo-fi electro sound reminiscent of old tvs, it's slow but heavy beat and those darn violin samples which makes this a beautiful yet unsettling 90 seconds.
