i really wish that i could think today.. then i could maybe put together some words to help describe.. anything.

ive just come across these autoKratz tracks which i rather like.. it seems like these boys are playing every party every where in europe these days.. and good on them.
you are probably already familiar with their older songs ('pardon garcon' and 'stay the same' being notable ones), and if you like them, then you will probably like these ones too

autoKratz - French Girls Play The Guitar

autoKratz - Reaktor

i reckon that 'French Girls Play Guitar' is actually my favourite autoKratz track with its very jivable electro-funk bassline and stop-start rhythm.

i'm not sure how this Cazals remix is like an 80's heartthrob but it is a nice bit of work by autoKratz..

Cazals - To Cut A Long Story Short (autoKratz 80's Heartthrob Mix)

sorry for my shitness but i seriously feel dumb today..

up there

the indie scene is sooo massive and saturated with try hard posers at the moment that its getting hard to keep track of it all..
i know its bad, but for a band to get onto my radar these days i have to love the first song of theirs that i hear, or else i disregard them. this is a very sub conscious thing that i do, and when i later on discover that the band is actually awesome i get really annoyed.

i disregarded cazals ages ago when i heard a remix of theirs that i disliked, and was greatly annoyed today when i reluctantly gave their album ('What Of Our Future' - buy here) a listen only to discover that they are actually quite good.

although they do have plenty of shit brit pop elements that occasionally surface in their tracks, (ie cheesy riffs, stupid boppy basslines, annoying accents and unnecessary synth parts) there are heaps more cool elements that surface heaps more often to make them cooler than your average maximo park..

Cazals - Life Is Boring

Cazals - New Boy In Town

the singles that accompany the life is boring single were also pretty cool.. i really loved the ali love remix- really smooth, funky bassline driven song.. this take on the track really brings the vocals out- makes them sound different and unique..

Cazals - Life Is Boring (Ali Love / Harder Mix

Cazals - Life Is Boring (Crookers Zuppa del Cazal Remix)

crookers also had a red hot go at this track, producing TWO remixes.. i chose to post this one because its far less martian-invasion sounding than the other one..
is this a new trend that crookers is starting?? i noticed that they also made 2 remixes for moby.. is it not enough to just make 1 remix these days????

what is the world coming to?
