Ah gardening, the favorite past time of mothers past their prime (empty nesters SLAM!). Naturally, there is a way to electro-bitch-ify this activity. Enter Pogo, internet favorite and key ally in the battle against hangovers. He took his mommy, her gardening, and his sound and made this nifty little video. Enjoy maybe!

What's on my mindgrapes?! (Part II)
Today while looking at my favorite Spanish language music blog - No Naci en Manchester (translation: I wasn't born in Manchester) I stumbled upon a feature article on Munk from Gomma Records. Included were two tracks from the Gomma Dance Tracks record - Munk – La Musica (Radio Edit) and Munk – La Musica (Mercury Remix).
Now I'd never heard of Munk and, of course, wanted to know more. I clicked on the first song and was blasted with intense bass and a garbled/warped voice. My co-worker (yes, I am a terrible employee and was playing music while I should be doing real work), Sean Peoples of Fatback and Socket Records fame, quipped "it sounds like German new wave from 1989." With further investigation, I found out that Munk was, in fact, from Germany.

With further investigation, I found out that Munk was, in fact, from Germany.
(Side note: I prefered the music on Munk's MySpace page over the two tracks offered on NNM - particularly Back Down (Cut Copy remix))
Sean then suggested I check out "Teutonik Disaster," an obscure German New Wave sampler from Gomma Records from 2002, featuring tracks from 1977 to 1983. His favorites being Carmen - Schlaraffenland and Ampilla's Delight - Lover's Walkman.
Carmen - Schlaraffenland by electrobitches
You can download the entire album here.
So let's recap my thought process: No Naci en Manchester -> Munk -> Munk's MySpace page -> Sean Peoples -> Teutonik Disaster -> Electrobitches.
Phew.

Kick. Ass. Video.
PVT - Formally known as Pivot (but had to change their name to come to AMERICA because there was some other band in AMERICA called Pivot and they threatened legal action so Pivot, originally from aussieland, are now PVT).
PVT - Window.
Great song - and the first person video is awesome.

This shit with the name changing happens alot between the OZ and the US. And I guess everywhere else in the world. But when the the BK ventured to Australia that had to change their name from Burger King to Hungry Jacks because there was already a King of the Burgers in town. So now all over Australia when Americans are craving a Whopper with cheese for breakfast they have to roam around town in fear and hesitation cause they have to get their fix from HJs. Hungry Jacks.
Good story right?
Yes, that is Bindi Irwin. And yes, she liked my story.

Goth pop, Cyndi, Ariel Pink's HG
I found this sweet gothy band called the Bubonic Plague. I don't think they're making music anymore because their lead singer is now working solo under the name Geneva Jacuzzi.
Hahaha this is effing cool though. It makes me giggle AND want to dance. Can u DIG???
For all you pop pansies who CAN'T dig:
1) Check out those dance moves
2) Just WAIT for her to rip the hat off.
3) Prince wrote this song for Cyndi and does a great version of it himself. You can hear that and a bunch of other crazy-cool songs on this lovely mix Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti made for Fact Magazine. Most interesting mix of this sort I've heard in a while. But click soon, it's only available for a couple of weeks.

First min. is new favorite T.Heads cover
This was stolen from the g-chat status of a fellow contributor, Mr. Daniel J. Hopkins, Esq. Why did he not make a post about this? I don't know the answer to that question. Truth is, I barely talk to Daniel J. Hopkins, Esq., we aren't even really friends. Sometimes I wish he was dead. But not today!
The first minute of the song is MILES (get it?) better than the rest, but the video is solidly entertaining through and through. And the rest of the song isn't bad or anything, I just think he should have made the entire song in the techno-robot rap style of the beginning instead of beating us over the head with the knowledge that it is a Talking Heads cover. We get it, Miles. We aren't stupid. You don't gotta make it so obvious.
Plus I just wanted to make a "Miles" pun.

Programming Note.
We have been slack on the posting these days. Blame it on Memorial Day weekend, and the fact that I've either been celebrating all that is America or feeling like this:
Anyways, I know its Wednesday and I'm pulling myself together and getting through the work day with a mixtape celebrating all that is 2010. So far, its been treating me well and complementing today's great weather.
So enjoy this Mixtape:
