Getting Trashed on a Tuesday
This was initially going to be my Monday post, but the day got away from me, because Monday’s suck.
So, this playlist is now dedicated to Tuesday’s. Which, in my opinion, is as good as any other day to get trashed. So go for it!

They were supposed to be on tour, but apparently, Alice broke her ribs. I swear, there is always something going on with these guys, is it part of thier “schtick”? (I never use the word, felt like being weird.) I’ve seen them walk off stage, cancel tours, etc. Does Alice just need to practice more? The album is quite good, more than I expected, I quite like “Vanished” and “Courtship” date. Some of their early tunes, were, while really cool and experimental, a bit raw, these 2 tracks are less “Atari” and more musical, cheers CC! And Alice – get better soon. You know James from Simian Mobile Disco broke his ribs playing football with The Arctic Monkeys while on tour? He just took a lot of vicodin to get through it.

Cut Copy – Lights & Music – Boys Noize Happy Birthday Remix
Modular is always the hotness, as is Cut Copy. Throw in remixes from Superdiscount (French house pioneer/god Etienne de Crecy), and Berlin’s white hot producer Alexander Ridha aka Boys Noize and you’re on fire.

The Teenagers – Homecoming – Gentleman Drivers Rave Mix
This Soko cover of “Love No”, fucking rocks. If feel it’s way more appropriate coming from a female, and this stripped down version, clearly gets the point across. I can totally relate to this track, and I can make a kitchen list of boys I would like to dedicate it to. I missed The Teenagers when they played here in NYC when touring with Hot Chip. I did see them at the after party, they looked wasted, but actually, everyone did, because everyone was. Owen spilled his bottle of Grey Goose at least 4 times, and he also kicked over my drink. I had to include “Homecoming” – Gentleman Drivers Rave Mix (off Reality Check), as it totally reminded me of that night, just seemed appropriate.

Uber Liebe Gold – Flakes Dictaphone Demo is cool because it’s raw, and it remind me of one of my new favorite bands – Molly Shannon, Molly Shannon. MJ – yeah, who hasn’t had a relationship with someone that was a secret and you couldn’t tell anyone about it? It’s fun to be undercover and naughty. Count me in. BUT, the question is, once it’s not a secret anymore, is it still as good? And, is it me, or does they sound kinda like early Police here?

The Cribs – Kind Words From The Broken Hearted
In 2007, The Cribs let us know about “Men’s Needs”, well, in 2008, they’ve declared their “realists”, and are offering up kind words to all the broken hearted. They’ve had a good year reflecting it seems, right on boys!

Le Le, aka Antoine DuFour, want to let all the ladies know, their plans for us – we’re “Breakfast”, all “meaty and fat”, the “cheese on their baguette”, “oatmeal, granola”, YEAH bitch!- um, cheeky, eh? I supposed they expect us to cook it up as well? I’ll give you a skillet, get yer ass over here. Its a fun song, reminds me of Detroit Grand Puba’s – “We Can Make Sandwiches”. That was quite the jam. Anything involving food and music, i’m there. Joakim’s – “Come into my Kitchen”, Dinky’s – “Acid in My Fridge” – sounds like a fab dinner party.

Cassius (Kieran Hebden Version)
I hung out with these boys over the summer while they were recording their album in Brooklyn. We enjoyed drinking and smoking on a rooftop overlooking the city, we hit a few (er, was it many?) neighborhood pubs, and they would pop by every so often to see what was new and exciting and to give us mini updates on their studio session. It was a good week, good times all around. Really happy to see they are doing so well, and its a big plus that I love their music. Their label – Transgressive, top notch. Tim and Toby, you guys rock. The door is always open – my NY is your NY!

Baltic Fleet are new discovery, they hail from Liverpool – UK, but seem to have spent some time in my former hometown of Chicago, so I was immediately interested, and glad I took the time to nab their album, it’s solid, and really good. Its described as Electro, Minimalist, Garage – intriguing mix. The first track i’ve posted, “To Chicago” covers the minimalist aspect, and “Double Door”, is where is gets gritty and raw. For those that are not familiar with Chicago, Double Door is a live music venue in Chicago’s Wicker Park. Its been around for YEARS, and just about EVERY band has played this venue, Smashing Pumpkins, The Presets, The Rolling Stones, I could go on, seriously, its legendary. The tracks I posted by Baltic Fleet are not incredibly representative of the rest of the album, I chose these specific tracks because of my personal association with Chicago. I would strongly urge you to pick this album up, and check it out in it’s entirety, it’s been on my player often, i’m quite fond of it, solid.

Mellow But Yet, Taunting – Ralphie Rosario
So, while we’re on the subject of Chicago, I had to throw in this Dave Gahan remix of “Kingdom” by Ralphie Rosario, a legendary Chi-town house DJ and producer. He’s remixed everyone and their mother. And, here comes the slightly embarrassing bit i’ve had locked about in my closet. Once upon a time, long, long again, in a galaxy, FAR, FAR, away . . . I dabbled in vocals and production. T he first track I ever recorded was back in 1999, for Ralphi’s first album, “45 Miles of Nerves”. Really, I have kept this a secret, I’ve never really told many people about it, never played it for anyone. I don’t know why I feel the sudden need to come clean and put it out there. So, if you wanna ‘ave a laugh, take a listen. Don’t get me wrong, it was fun going into the studio and working on my “first track”, but it’s not really, exactly, AT ALL, “ME”. The target audience was Glee Club Sunday night’s at Crobar, which, I had some of my best nights out. There’s nothing quite as nice, as being doted on by a bunch of lovely, fantastic gay men, dancing on boxes with their shirts off, who want nothing more than to buy you drinks and other goodies. I didn’t write the lyrics, or the music, for “Mellow, But Yet Taunting”, but yep, that’s me saying “Undress me . . . my ears were filled with orgasmic sound”. YEP.
Portishead, oh, Portishead. I know it’s only March, but this could be THE ALBUM OF THE YEAR. No words to be said, the music does the talking.

get off your chair people and do your research before you badmouth the kidz !!
the reason crystal castles pulled from their US tour with health is that alice got smashed up bad in a car wreck, broken ribs was just the injuries they chose to make public. and so many fans don’t go entirely disappointed ethan made plans to DJ at some cancelled dates, pretty much as crystal castles were star DJ’s on last year’s klaxons tours in the UK (though at many of those NME tour dates they played live at the aftershow parties)
angry grrrrrr !!!
