new and old

we'll start with the old - i was recently checking out millionyoung's myspace. you may remember that name from my post about this guy few weeks ago here. regardless, mike diaz is his name, and he's got a new official EP coming out january 19th. featuring a new favorite, "cynthia". the EP is called be so true. if the two tracks out so far on his myspace are any indicator of the rest of the release, then be on the lookout for this just after the new year.

cynthia -

and now for the new - if you liked millionyoung, then i bet you'll really dig the group, the radio dept. . these guys hail from of sweden and are producing some really wonderful stuff, like many of their nordic peers. drawing on what seems to be a heavy new wave, 80's inspired influences, these guys manage to create a fluid blend of electronics and real instruments. melodic keyboards and guitars soften the smokey, distorted vocals and create something both fluid and danceable. formed in 2002, these guys definitely know what they're doing. i was turned onto them by cam from spesus christ who i've also talked about on this site before, so they must be good. it looks like they toured china this summer, which is pretty cool, but let's hope they make it over to the states sometime soon.

awesome music video: fujiya & miyagi - "ankle injuries"

check out this awesome music video. not sure if it's completely stop-motion, it would be truly incredible if it is. stop-motion seems to be a recurring style on this site. that being said, i'm extremely impressed by this video and the music pretty fun too. slick bass groove from fujiya & miyagi.

a+b=c, but a≠b≠c. math? wtf.... no, music!

well it's been awhile since i've posted anything new. ran into thanksgiving, a birthday and what feels like a busy last couple weeks, but i really couldn't tell you what that was filled with. anyways, as such i guess i'll get back in the swing of things with three, that's right 3, bands that i've come to like quite a bit lately, and wuddyaknow, they tie in together quite nicely. not so much musically, at all really, but i like diversity; the american public schools raised me that way. and on the days i actually showed up for class they also taught me some nifty math skills which i will now utilize. the three bands are as follows: horse feathers, dinosaur bones, dinosaur feathers. a+b=c, but a≠b≠c. see what i did there? i thought you might like that. although, that really wasn't mathematical in anyway... shit. i'm sorry mrs. heffernan. :(  anyways check 'em out after the jump.
