tough kids doing damage

there were some serious monday blues floating around at work today. i for one had a pretty relaxed day, but the sobs and whinging penetrating the calm of my headphones started to get a little tiresome. o if only i had some decent speakers and mood lighting controls on my desk.. perhaps i could have got everyone out of their uncomfortable chairs and into hammocks as the lord intended..

if there was ever a song to get us young'uns into hammocks, it would be 'do the right thing' by metronomy.. im sure most of you will have already heard this track, but in case you havent, and if by chance you enjoy a spot of air france (or even just a spot of superbly moody dream-pop), then this might be for you:

Metronomy - Do The Right Thing

listening to a spot of nite jewel right after a sydney visit from italians do it better bossman mike simonetti seemed appropriate.. im pretty peeved that i didnt get to go to the party. in my dreams, i did actually go and when it was over i went with mike simonetti to an after party where he personally plugged in his portable music device and put on nite jewel.

Nite Jewel - Want You Back

last but not least is this remix done by perennial blouse favourite's black strobe..

The Penelopes - Demian feat. Dierdre Dubois (Black Strobe Remix)

what i love so much about black strobe is their diversity.. while i usually associate anything with the black strobe tag on it with classy, yet monstrous electro-tech, they sometimes do a little trickeroo and pop up with something different. this penelopes remix for instance is a distinctly lifelike-like affair with warbly, rolling bass coupled with soaring synths.

bonus black strobe cut from '01:

Cosmo Vitelli - Robot Soul (Black Strobe Remix)

where i should be

i should still be sitting in front of my computer at work. damn. throwing two weeks worth of unfinished work on my desk and asking for it to be done by end of day is no way to make me feel happy or excited about our new offices.

i admit that i was feeling fairly guilty as i quietly escaped.. but playing this deliciously chilled piece of disco feel-goodery on the way home made me feel a lot better. thanks bottin

Bottin - No Static

sorry for the relative inactivity on here recently.. we've all recently started full time jobs and are finding time a little bit short.. who knew that working would adversely affect your life?

here is an apology token from us- to be used wisely..

Fare Soldi - Il Vecchio e il Mullet (Rodion Remix)

spaced out electro funk like this really needs to be featured on some excellent 70's styled sitcom that is set at some distant point in the future.
i really enjoy fare soldi's music, but to be honest (tbh), i once thought they were a bit of a 2-bit bedroom operation that enjoyed heavily distributing their music via blogs. seeing this proof of their powerful shoulder-rubbing with big boys like gomma wildchild rodion has changed my opinion somewhat. do you think they care?
