I’ve been listening to a more calmer style of music as of late. I say its the productivity level that isn’t hinder by loud, fast electro/ghetto/glitch tracks. Some of the highlights from the bands that I’ve listened to for a long while but feel they need to be recognized more, well some are pretty popular and others are still fairly unknown. Passion Pit, M83, Air France and MGMT. They all have similar styles of psychedelic pop infused synth rocking with easy listening of some sort but everything is overly catchy and relaxing. Listening to these songs really just makes me want to go for a stroll on the beach at sunset or just drift around in space  and not worry about a thing.

Passion Pit - Better Things

Passion Pit - Sleepy Head

M83 - Graveyard Girl

M83 - Teen Angst

Air France - Karibien

Air France - No Excuses

MGMT - Kids (This Is My Empire RMX)

MGMT - Of Moons Birds & Monsters

Even Roth or Ni9e. He was the on behind Graffiti Analysis has done it again with his TSA Communication project where messages are cut into stainless steal plates and placing them into their luggage while going threw security while traveling. The idea i feel is incredibly creative and progressive. It makes since that something like this, making art projects with security systems will happen. Aside from the hilarity of the project it could be a pain in the ass for the traveler experimenting with the project and the rest of the line behind you TSA Communication Project home page

If you were custom/security and came across this, would you appreciate the piece or be frusterated and annoyed at the artist?

Even Roth’s new site -> Evan-Roth.com and his blog is still the same

One of my favorite artist is Jon Burgerman, a doodler from the UK. He has been featured on Wooster Collective for his street art and is well known for his progress in contempory character design. For more check Pictoplasma. The other day while shopping in IKEA I was taken back when I saw his art work hanging in their store. It turns out that Burgerman did a poser for them. I made a point to pick it up and was plesently happy with the budget purchase. YEs.

Continuing on with Le Castle Vania, it’s finally been ok’d to post his original track Zero Machine. For those who don’t know its has a wicked sample from a Smashing Pumpkins tune. Anyways this tune is a sure club banger to get the kids dancing! For more about Le Castle Vania check my previous post.

On the note of Chew Fu, one of his mixes showed up in a D&G runways show… Love Lock Down…. Wicked dude, congrats!

For all of those Marah Carey fans and or Designer Drugs fans, I recently found broken links on my post The Time Mariah Carey Did Designer Drugs…. The broken links are now fixed and you can get the mp3s… Check it.

But seriously should I get a Smirnoff Ice tat? Or Papst? What about Milwacky Ice? Does anyone out there have any brand logos on them? Are tats really that permanent?

There’s photos floating around of the new Spring 2009 line by Jeremy Scott at Paris Fashion Week. one of these photos consist of Jeremy Scott’s collab. with Adidas Originals. Pretty tight for sure. There’s back stage photos of the Jeremy Scott show found on The Cobrasnake here and here. The new line by Jeremy Scott is killer, keeping with his signature contemporary designs and patters mixed with influence of styles from the French Revolution royalty. Video of the show below.

So I was sent this tune but can’t post the artist. So just enjoy the track, Groove and dance your heart out. The tune will definitely get these girls dancing, they may even know who the track is by… possibly? They certainly know something. Oh, if you think you know who the producer(s) or Groove are send me a message and if you get it right I may give you something. Incentive?
