Houston’s Most Hated | Everything you hate. And, one thing you love. |
TWO VERY BIG NAME DJS ARE COMING TO HOUSTON NEXT MONTH. ONE WILL BE PLAYING AT RELIANT ARENA. REMEMBER THE LAST TIME YOU WENT TO AN ELECTRONIC MUSIC PARTY AT THE ARENA?! LETS DO IT AGAIN.
is a lyric from The XX’s song Teardrop. Hailing from the Windish Agency is a London quartet of childhood friends, that share the same interest in anti-folk and 90s R&B. Their album share influences like Aaliyah to the Chromatics, the Pixies to Mariah Carey, and Cocorosie to Genuine, etc. So if you catch my drift, it’s quite nice to the ears. I fell for this quartet back in April… the soft vocals, experimental music notes, and the lyrics could get pretty deep and dark— and that is what i love. It seems kids nowadays are getting more and more talented, being that the XX is a group of four 19 year olds. That’s dope. What do they call it? Young Influentials. Yeah that’s right. I’ve been Hype Machining them before their album debuted and now that it’s out, it’s one of the most anticipated albums of 2009 according to Pitchfork. So I suggest you plug in your headphones or crank up your speakers and start listening to this album I’m about to share with you.

On Friday early in the evening there’s the Rainbow Death Evil Fuck Blood art show, our homegirl over at Trash and Garnish is featured in it along with many others. Check out the flier to see what all is going on in the Foundry House.
After the art show head over to Rich’s for Hercules and love Affair show!!! You know the drill.
I meant to give you all music earlier this week, but I started the week off kind of late. Memorial weekend was loaded with shits to do, and it got a little too out of hand. So now, I have ENORMOUS music for yo earz! Check it.
The name Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs is crazy enough, well the music… lives up to the name. I’ll let their bio explain it all, because I can’t decipher enormous dinosaur lingo.
RRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH A time machine was sent back to just before all the dinosaurs went BOOOOOOOM!!! and died. horribly. and they said “RRAAAGH listen up future kids. we got the big tunes.” and they sorted us out with a few dubplates. prehistoric dubplates made of granite. using the latest in free software the “big tunes” have begun to be uncovered and are ready for your listening.
These United Kingdom dinosaurs will blow your headphones into your ears!

For all you djs and record listeners, you can pre-order their 12′ vinyl here. It’s worth it.
And the last song I have for you all today comes from Classixx. All you bloggers in the know probably have heard this song already but maybe some of you haven’t. I’ve been jamming this song in my car while on my way out for the night. It’s pretty awesome… so maybe you’ll be doing the same soon.

Anyways, see you all out this weekend. Sure I’ll have my wasted mask on. Smellyalater
I couldn’t say if it was Antony Hegarty’s off-color voice or sodden tunes that pummeled my regurgitation muscles while everyone praised his triumphant debut I Am a Bird Now and this year’s The Crying Light, but in any event, I certainly didn’t expect him to anchor a triumphant bit of Brooklyn neo-disco. Nonetheless, from the first moments of “Time Will”—a boom-boom-snap backing Antony’s eerily sexy and upright command “Don’t lie to me” (a lyrical staple of both pop and disco)—you have to ask: Why didn’t anyone think of this sooner? His quavering acrobatics are a perfect fit for sensational dance music. It’s startling, the ease with which the unrepentant drama queen inhabits this relationship time-out, an unaffected sadness he might yet know. His voice—lonely and forlorn as it’s framed by room-temperature synthesizers buzzing unsympathetically—has finally found its true calling.
It’s a hell of an opening tack for Andy Butler, the DFA-certified DJ who dreamed up the glorious funkscapes on Hercules & Love Affair, the full-length, self-titled expansion of last year’s “Roar”/”Classique #2″ single. Now, we get not just disco divas but Moulin Rouge dioramas in Technicolor surround sound: “Hercules Theme” jams together Kool & the Gang horn lines, lascivious wah-funk, and overhead pinches of strings crashing into booming dollops of kick and snare. If the result doesn’t quite amount to Saturday Night Fever, it certainly turns up the heat: Try the way the agile bass parts jog around “Athene” and “Raise Me Up.”
The party holds strong into the second half, where the comedown always muddles the songwriting a little. Surprise: Antony’s dramatic ululations return to rescue the trawling sonics. Where once it was hard to decide whether he was the problem or merely his tastes, it’s now fun to see Hegarty dropping anchor when Butler’s ambitions get too cumbersome and his slow ones sound out of breath. And when these two guys meet each perfectly—as on the projected summer hit “Blind,” a mélange of Primal Scream’s “Swastika Eyes” and Blur’s “Girls and Boys”—they really do climb to the mythic heights of Hercules’ heroic namesake.
I suggest you all save up your pennies for this weekend!

Who is excited to see Fischerspooner tomorrow night?! We are because those guys put on a fucking cool show. All of you know who they are already there’s no need to explain. And for those of you who don’t, you’re so very late and where the fuck have you been this whole time. Get out of the cave.
