Coolest Music Video (Maybe!)
Hey. Remember me? Good.
I just wanted to say look at this video:
I think it is one of the coolest cool things I've ever seen.
Plus, doesn't her voice sound like something you'd want to have sex with? And when the drums start, that's pretty cool too. I think I wanna be that girl a little bit, though.
Kay i gotta go. Bye.

Friday Funnies: Feel the Wheel
Guess who hasn't done anything today? Someone else other than me because I don't want any documentation of my incredible laziness. Other than this post!So I've done my facebookin', stumblin', and wonkettein' on this fine Friday. Entertaining as always, but not entertaining enough. Everything just seems so stale. Nothing is updating, and no one seems to care. I like to call this "reaching the end of the internet".
Usually, "reaching the end of the internet" involves me reading some fucking stupid Washington Post editorial about how beach volleyball is a metaphor for how much Barrack Obama hates America (I'm LOOKING AT YOU GEORGE WILL). Then I start shouting terrible things at the computer screen until I'm hoarse, after whcih gently weep under my desk because I am normal. My co-workers do no enjoy my presence.
But today, when I reached the end of the internet, and I found this:
... the greatest thing in existence. What a great day it was.
Matt Tice, friend and compatriot, is the primary writer for the blog blenderwheel. If you are about the reach the end of the internet, please make this "komdey blog" your last stop. My favorite so far: Blenderwheel's story about office life. It introduces you to the greatest/worst boss in the universe, Boss Ruth, and talks about his favorite time of the year: no lying day. What is no lying day? I'll let Boss Ruth explain:
Wouldn't we all love no lying day in our office? Happy Friday everyone, and enjoy the funnies!Boss Ruth: Shut up. Naomi, it’s No Lying Day - remember? Every year, we get one day where Human Resources goes AWOL and we can do whatever the fuck we want. That includes asking if it’s normal that my wife cried after a night of bathtub gin and anal sex. Get me?
Naomi: I don’t remember ever hearing about No Lying Day…
Boss Ruth: Well, bitchclod, that’s because this is the first one! From now on, every year on this day, we’re going to stop fucking lying and say what’s on our minds! And right now what’s on my mind is why the fuck my wife cried after I hogtied her and stuffed her poopchute. Is that such an awful request? Answer me woman
Finally it's happened to us
This is kind of like a Retro Wednesday on crack. Think of it as Fucked Up Mash Up Friday. Enjoy.

Post 150: We are CHAMPIONS.
So here we are at post 150. What a long, strange, three-and-a-half month-long journey. We've talked about electronic bitches, plain old bitches, and for some reason Robert Downey Jr. Occasionally, we also talk about music, maybe!
Lets face it. After 150 posts, we are now famous. B-rack Obamar calls us all the time is all like "I hatez the spills, but lurv your blog" we are all like "what-eves, the only person we like to talk is Sarah Pay-Me-lin, but thx NE-way".
After all, how could we NOT be famous? This is how we dress on Friday nights.
Please, lame-faces, please explain to us how you could not bow down and kiss our gout ridden feet (TMI?) upon glancing our glorious visages.
In honor of our awesomeness and 150th post, here is an oldie but goldie from Felix da housecat and kittzens. It is called happy hour, and it is all about how Kittzens is famous and awesome and loves to drink, which also describes electrobitches. Enjoy, but be WARNED, the song sounds better with headphones/good sound system (this warning applies mostly to people (person?) who reads us at work)
FOLLOW UP QUESTION: Does a song from 2001 qualify as a Retro Wednesday post?

Darn I Missed Them: TOO MANY TO LIST
(Actually, too many to list would be an OK band name.)
On Monday, June 14, 2010 something amazing happened. I would think it was even more amazing if I spoke Swedish. But it definitely looks amazing:
"Maskinen och Mash up international har lyckats samla den största delen av baile & kuduro-eliten för att få till en kväll som närmast kan beskrivas som kaotisk. det kommer bli som en brasiliansk favela nete på strömparterren och även om det inte går att dansa med vapen i sverige kommer det här bli en explosiv kväll."
Google translates that as:
"The machine and Mash Up International has managed to collect most of the baile & kuduro-elites to get to an evening that can best be described as chaotic. it will be like a Brazilian favela Nete on parterre and even if you can not dance with weapons in Sweden will this be an explosive evening."
So, yes. It looks good. Chaos, Brazil, weapons, explosions - all ingredients I want in a big party. And that's what Strömparterren - Love Stockholm 2010 looks like. A big party. With some really good bands. For only 80 kroner or 120 kroner (again, I can't read Swedish) - only $10 or $15! (Yes! recession and dollar being worth more?)
Some of the featured musical explosions came from:
Schlachthofbronx "Ayoba" feat. Spoek + Gnucci Banana
Bonde Do Role - Solta O Frango
Radioclit Secouse All Star (Original Mix)
AND
Buraka Som Sistema - Kalemba
Google says: Helvete ya! men Fan jag missade dem (Hell yes! but darn I missed them)

Exploring the Intertubes with OCMD
Sometimes the internet means bad things. According to my workplace this means security threats, inefficiency, and a lot of Farmville. It also means that some of my favorite music blogs are blocked. NOOOOOOO!!!1! my office mates hear me scream. Fortunately, they have done what a good worker would do: adapt. And also send me alternative blogs.
In my first trip around the music blog intertubes today I came upon OCMD - Obsessive Compulsive Music Disorder. Awesome.
It has introduced me to 2 excellent excuses for a band:
1. Tobacco
Tobacco (or Tom Fec) is an American electronic musician. He is the frontman of the band Black Moth Super Rainbow, in addition to working as a solo artist; in both settings he works most conspicuously with pre-digital electronic instruments such as analog synthesizers and tape machines.
Feel the synthesizers below.
AND
2. Tame Impala
Tame Impala are a "four piece psychadelicrock band from Perth, Australia" who liken their music to "a steady flowing psychedelic groove...that emphasizes dream-like melody" (source: Wikipedia)
You get one chance to figure out if you like them. (The boys and their greasy, emo haircuts want you to say yes.)
Tame Impala - Solitude Is Bliss (Mickey Moonlight Remix) by electrobitches
If you want to hear more songs from Tobacco or Tame Impala check out OCMD's samplings.

Fever Ray Monday: CocoRosie
My entire life, I wanted to somehow combine the weird visuals and foreboding feel of Fever Ray with the voice of Joanna Newsom. Then I found CocoRoise, and her video for the song "Lemonade".
The decrepit house, the evil-elf make up, and general feeling of dread: a perfect Fever Ray Monday song.
Also, I love how we are always posting these creep-tastic videos on Monday. The day is depressing. Somehow, a little fever makes the whole experience of having one's weekend ripped away feel OK.

Simmerdown Sundays
The song: Adieu Mon Coeur
Goodbye My Heart. For some reason when I'm haungover pulling myself together on a Sunday morning Edith Piaf really speaks to me. And I just really, really love this song.
Edith Piaf - Adieu Mon Coeur
And Martha Wainwright's lovely take on the song. Stripped down and a live performance:
And because according to my weak internet sources, this is Edith's last great song. Plus, it helps me to remind myself to not regret my actions and behaviours of last night. Or ever.
Edith Piaf - Non Je ne regrette rien

She is confusing.
M.I.A is leaking shit all over the place to confuse folks before her CD release date. Basically, she is taking a stance against the internet. Because sharing information and accessing music is so terrible. Clearly M.I.A. has been on fire recently, being as creative as using a blimp at Coachella for promotion, starting a war with gingers and picking fights with anyone who dares to talk back.
The thing is, I just want her music to be as good as her game. I really want her music to be good. I want M.I.A to excite the shit out of me. And recently it's just not happening.
Here is some song that was played on some BBC show. Or something. This song is not on her album track list. She is confusing.
Judge the song for yourself.
M.I.A - Steppin' Up.
M.I.A. - Stepping Up by sheenabeaston
And unlike M.I.A, I love the intertubes, and I love sharing music, I'm going to share this site that I love for finding some great, weird and interesting mixtapes. It is all for free. Happy explorin'.
