2raumwohnung German Electro-Pop

Sunday, January 21st, 2007


I have a sweet tooth for Delicious German Electro-Pop. 2raumwohnung basically is the german equivalent of Gorillaz and St-Etienne with maybe a lil bit of Junior Boys thrown in there. Inga Humpe is a rather playful vocalist who sings mostly in her native tongue with random english quips such as “Three Muskateers” and “Adventure Team” thrown in. The production has some great grooves that could not have come out of any other place than Germany. Now if only the DFA will remix them.

Another Fashion Week, already!

Friday, January 19th, 2007


Expect plenty of Red Bull, Def Jam CDs, and random cosmetics in the gift bags.

Daft Punk Relive the Magic

Thursday, January 18th, 2007


Relive the moment when Daft Punk made a triumphant return to our dimension. Urb magazine just graciously put up a video of Daft Punk’s entire one and half hour headlining set at Coachella. Starting from the opening Close Encounter of the Third Kind Arpeggio to the last vocoder exclaimation of Human After Allllllll. The greatest thing about this set is no one knew what to expect. Were they gonna come out in the robot costumes or not? Were they gonna have a flying guitar and drum kit? Was Romanthony gonna be there? They already have solidified their status as the coolest act ever; Daft Punk could have done anything and our simple human minds would have exploded. So they came out in a Pyramid. It made perfect sense. Why not! Easily the greatest light show seen to date. My theory is the Pyramid was actually a containment device to prevent Daft Punk from tearing our space-time continuum cus of how fuckin cool they are. If they were to release their Coachella Performance as an album it would be one of the Greatest Dance Records made. Daft Punk basically deconstructed all their songs and found a way to thread all their classic riffs, beats, and samples into a glorious continuos party. It brings a tear to my eye every time i listen to it.
