It's another sorry post
It's time for yet another post saying I'm sorry, I don't do enough posts. Same excusses as always, I work too much, hope you'll bare with me. I still love my blog and I still love blogging. Keep staying tuned to this bat channel.

The new The Kills album is great! I quit enjoyed their earlier outings, but new album Midnight Boom is just great. The tracks are even more brooding and dark than you would expect and they just cry out for remixes. Heres a couple of those, expect a hell of a lot more:

the Kills - Cheap and Cheerful (Nite Cells Bored Robot Remix)
the Kills - U.R.A. Fever (IMA Fever Nite Cells Remix)
Get album here

There is a new Juan Maclean in the pipes by the way, it's called Happy House and it has this great old skool house sound - piano loop and all. For some reason they ended up being the forgotten band on DFA, which was a total shame. It's clearly the sound of the label that rings the least dated. It's quite enjoyable that the old house sounds keeps showing it's ugly head, it makes you feel safe and secure.

It came from the Downundervers
I wonder whats up (or is that down?) with Australia. Cut Copy, The Presets and hype bonanza Van She. It's the place to be on the other hemisphere.
Latest blossom to emerge is Muscles. Sounding like a Lo Fi FNK coverband gone techno. Catchy tunes galore and lots of humor - Hurra!

He has a single out on Bang Gang 12" sometime April - Be sure to pick that up. Distortion Disco is placing a handsome amount on this guy being big this year.


First tune is Ice Cream - candidate for best chorus this year: "Ice Cream is going to save the day - again!" - Hmmm maybe we should start bombarding select areas of the world with ice cream? This tune is what being 12 years old is all about. Dancy, funny and unavoidable. Oh yeah and infectious synths!

Muscles - Ice Cream
Bang Gang 12" Records


Second tune is Chocolate Raspberry Lemon and Lime. Twee UK-garage anyone? Rhyming Lemon and Lime with You're mine is nothing short of pure genious. This is what a 2007 love song should sound like. Filled with falic imagery what more can we want?

Be sure to drop by Big Stereo for new Van She vs Utah Saints also on Bang Gang 12"
