We’re kicking off a new series of 10 questions to people whose stuff we really like. First up: Tame Impala.
Tame Impala are from Australia, make fuzz-rich garage psychedelica and dream pop with facemelting riffs: perfect driving music, strutting music, business time music, cooking music, make out music, rocking out music.. you know: good music.
We’ve posted about them before (HERE all the way back in Feb 2009. And HERE back in 2008 -courtesy of the Soulwax brotherhood).
Here’s my favourite Tame Impala Song:
TAME IMPALA, YOUR 10 QUESTIONS START NOW
1. What are you worried about these days?
An album coming out that sounds exactly like the one I’m working on.
2. What’s your vice?
Nasal spray, that nose clearing spray they tell you not to use for more than 3 days, been on that twice a day for a few months now. I just need to be able to smell the world or I freak out.
Yesterday we reported that we had it on good authority that H&M’s next collaborator would be Lanvin and its creative director Alber Elbaz. And although we knew it was absolutely true (no talking about buzz or the other alleged collabs here) for all those doubters out there : H&M just confirmed the news.
But there’s an extra surprise…
(what + release dates + Alber Elbaz talking about The Dream after the jump)… read more…
Here at KNOTORYUS we have been Cee Lo Green fans for a long long time.
You do not want to be at a party talking to LGF and me when “I’ll be Around” comes on. I don’t give a crap what CEO you are, you better start to get down… read more…
I am literally shaking in my (ok they’re looking a bit raggedy) Lanvin high tops as we speak.
Very reliable sources have revealed that H&M next collaborator will be non other than Lanvin and its creative director Alber Elbaz! read more…
Yesterday was Michael Joseph Jackson’s birthday. A moment of silence is not the right way to remember him. This mixtape by J.Period seems a bit more appropriate.
Tracklist, download and special tribute after the jump.
‘Congratulations’ is a song about MGMT’s sudden fame and fortune (and the simple stock of half-assed guilt and waste that comes with it), so I guess the video is about all that, too. Dudes are carrying a giant, naked dying bird across the desert. It’s a beautiful bummer (which, incidently, would be a good song title I think). Debate at will.
Hova does the power clap and drops a verse on Swizzee’s beats. It’s whatch’all been waitin’ for ain’t it?
Download after the jump.
I am so glad Casey Affleck and Joaquin Phoenix have found a distributor for their movie.
“I’m Still Here” will be released September 10, 2010. read more…
When I turned ten years old, I had saved up enough pocket money to get my hands on a bright red Sony Walkman, a brand new model featuring not only a Tape/Radio combination, but also the futuristic ‘auto switch’ technology, which meant you didn’t have to take out the tape when side A clicked off. The Walkman would do that for you! Rotating everything inside! Magic! Putting on the weak little headphones when I got back from school was pure bliss and – in retrospect- the beginning of a life spent in happy isolation from soundtrackless reality. If I stuck to using the FM/AM radio, the batteries would last about 6 hours. If I played my Michael Jackson tapes, they would help me drown out my family for about 2 hours.
However, sometimes I would pick up my headphones and press play only to find that my kid brother had been using my Walkman to play his Scooter tape non-stop until the batteries were dead enough to slow down the music to about 50% of its intended speed. I would be expecting ‘Human Nature’ at a high pitch. Instead, a gulp of melted German rave would hit me like a wave of polluted, acid sludge. Little did I know, my kid brother (aged eight) had invented a new genre called ‘Witch House’. Little did I know, twenty years after his accidental genius, the hippest label in Brooklyn would put out a mixtape of slowed down rave and re-animated pop corpses, creating something wicked (yeah, that’s right, I’m bringing back ‘wicked’) and cruel. Hats off to you, bro. Way ahead of the pack.
After the jump:
