I played a few shows with my friends Richard and Jack as a kind of power chord heavy three-piece rock band, but that was getting a bit boring. They’ve since fallen out and have embroiled themselves in a bitter legal feud, so to preserve their sanity we stopped playing live.

Not fair to have two generations killing it at once—though the yin to sweet genes yang is everyone always reminds you where you came from (sorry). A quick google showed us the younger Ruscha was a <a href="http://www.discogs.com/artist/Eddie+Ruscha" target="_blank">music dude</a>, but with labels that spells “exist” with an added k and “chemical” with a k instead of a c (dude really likes the letter k apparently), so we passed on further investigation. That is, until we saw him on friend to all, Cali Dewitt’s <a href="http://www.rvca.com/advocates/?cat=10" target="_blank">blog</a>, looking still best dressed, but less concerned with the fall of his hem than with the spiritual trance those racks of electronics were <a href="http://www.rvca.com/advocates/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/smellslike6.jpg" target="_blank">clearly</a> inducing—check the neck vein. We looked up <a href="http://www.myspace.com/secretcircuit" target="_blank">Secret Circuit</a>, his new project, excited by the lack of extraneous consonants, and found it to be thoroughly cosmic. Not sure yet if “Roll” or “Spliff Builder” is a more apt song title, but that may be a drug of choice decision for you to make. Dude has got a thing for vintage sounds, krautrock keyboards and hippie handdrums, like he’s writing the soundtrack to an imaginary European ’70s version of <em>Weeds</em>. Until we get our hands on a grip of these MP3s, we’ll settle for this mix he made for <a href="http://www.lovefingers.org/" target="_blank">Lovefingers</a>, rightfully entitled “Deepspace Motherfuckers.” No tracklist, but if you like synthesizers and plucky bass and don’t like vocals, Ruscha is your righteous shaman.

And on that album, when he announced that his president was black, well, it was still a white man in the White House. Both of his pronouncements, though, were soon proven correct, as everyone lost their jobs, homes and confidence. Except for Obama, prediction number two, who got a sweet new job as our black president. Jeezy, maybe feeling touches of the recession himself (maybe his auntie snagged the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XhOKIHGH7Q">yams he stashed</a>) then got himself a deal as a <a href="http://woooha.com/2009/01/video-young-jeezy-launches-belvedere-vodka-ad-campaign/" target="_blank">Belvedere</a> spokesman on the back of his incredibly overlooked album cut “Circulate” (itself based on Billy Paul’s ’70s recession anthem “Let the Dollar Circulate”), which probably made him more cash than album sales did. Alcohol is one thing that’s never effected by a downturn. Now, properly flush, Jeezy is trying to either coach you into getting as paid as he is, or trying to frighten you away from taking what little is left in the pot before he can horde it on his new track with Wayne, “Scared Money.” Wayne just wants you to know he’s not scared at all, like Bone Crusher. These two complement each other just fine.</p> <p><script language="JavaScript" src="http://www.thefader.com/blog/files/audio-player.js"></script><br /> <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.thefader.com/blog/files/player.swf" id="audioplayer1" height="24" width="290"><param name="movie" value="http://www.thefader.com/blog/files/player.swf"><param name="FlashVars" value="playerID=1&soundFile=http://thefader.cachefly.net/jeezy-weezy-money.mp3"><param name="quality" value="high"><param name="menu" value="false"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></object><br /> <strong>Download: <a href="http://thefader.cachefly.net/jeezy-weezy-money.mp3" target="_blank">Young Jeezy f.

For our newest issue, we did and loved his very German way of speaking quick and forced, coupled with a very universally grandparent-ish making sure that everyone was fine (everyone being us). Though many of his musical ideas are deep down the rabbit hole of his own mind, and he’s not shy about lengthily narrating the historical reasons behind his obsession with cosmic sounding bells, he’ll stop to make sure he’s not lost you. Then he’ll laugh at himself for sounding too silly. But, truth is, his level mix of seriousness and mockery of it is a welcome change from either extreme. As is his music, always bubbling with ringing, as is “The Splendour,” from his upcoming <em>Black Noise</em>, his first album for Rough Trade, marking their return to releasing explorativie electronic music. Pantha’s is a thoroughly unique take on techno, never settling into a repetitive rhythm though never straying into ambient, improvised territory that a brief listen might lead you to believe. Hannukah begins this Friday at sundown and Pantha Du Prince is appropriately celebratory music for a holiday known as the Festival of Lights—spacious, familial, enveloping. If you have to listen to something for eight days of presents, you’d be hard pressed to find something brighter.</p> <p><script language="JavaScript" src="http://www.thefader.com/blog/files/audio-player.js"></script><br /> <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.thefader.com/blog/files/player.swf" id="audioplayer1" height="24" width="290"><param name="movie" value="http://www.thefader.com/blog/files/player.swf"><param name="FlashVars" value="playerID=1&soundFile=http://thefader.cachefly.net/pdp-splendour.mp3"><param name="quality" value="high"><param name="menu" value="false"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></object><br /> <strong>Download: <a href="http://thefader.cachefly.net/pdp-splendour.mp3" target="_blank">Pantha Du Prince, “The Splendour”</a></strong></p> <div class="social_links"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://twitter.com/home?status=Currently+reading%3A+http://www.thefader.com/2009/12/07/pantha-du-prince-the-splendour-mp3/" title="Share this article with your Twitter followers"><img src="/wp-content/themes/thefader/images/twitter-16x16.png" /></a><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thefader.com%2F2009%2F12%2F07%2Fpantha-du-prince-the-splendour-mp3%2F&t=Pantha+Du+Prince%2C+%26%238220%3BThe+Splendour%26%238221%3B+MP3" title="Share this post on Facebook"><img src="/wp-content/themes/thefader/images/facebook-16x16.png" /></a></div><div style="clear: both;"></div> If you ever get the chance to speak to Pantha Du Prince, take it.

Underground Resistance “Transition Accapella” (UR)</p> <p>Notes on the mix:</p> <p>There is no way in hell that I was about to make a mix featuring all of the good music that came out in 2009. The mix above is mostly just 15 awesome tracks I had nearby as I was writing this column—by no means does track order indicate any ranking system (I think that shit is dumb).</p> <p>2009</p> <p>One of the happiest things to see was the rise of Boogie. Pioneered, in a way, by the massive output and positive vibes emanating from Dam Funk, boogie rose up in ‘09. Lots of releases this year had chunky vintage drums, off-kilter grooves and fat synths that are indebted to the shmillions of forgotten one-off 12-inches from the 80s that are floating from used bins and flea markets around America into boutique online shops and popular consciousness. Even the UK’s “wonky” scene and its growing fringes seemed indebted to the sound as a brief respite from (or on top of) bass science. People’s Potential Unlimited, perhaps my favorite label in the world, unearthed countless cuts from forgotten boogie acts like Midnight Express’ Robbie M, J.P.s Force, 4 Reel, and the amazing “All Party People” in my mix above, a completely warped and blissfully cockeyed go-go groove by Mix-O-Rap.</p> <p>And speaking of that go-go, i had to include a track on the mix from maybe my favorite new band, AAO, part of the “young band” (at least, that’s what the guys at the flea market tell me: “I don’t listen to the young bands, but those CDs are six for $20″) or “slow bounce” go-go scene in DC and MD, who make the most intense music I’ve heard in a long time. I think a lot of it sounds like the On-U-Sound System mixing Sleep into today’s rap and R&B radio, but I doubt the bands come at it from that perspective. Either way, you can definitely dance to this greatness, and bands like XIB, TOB, Reaction and AAO are killing it right now! If only I could find their music on YouTube…</p> <p>XIB, “Booty Bounce”<br /> <object width="560" height="454"><param [...] This week’s Heal Yourself And Move—a biweekly column about dance and electronic music, written by Maryland’s finest, Andrew Field Pickering—runs through some of Andrew’s favorites of the year and his alterego Maxmillion Dunbar gives us a [...] http://www.thefader.com/2009/12/02/gucci-mane-f-keyshia-cole-bad-bad-bad-mp3/ http://www.thefader.com/2009/12/02/gucci-mane-f-keyshia-cole-bad-bad-bad-mp3/#comments Wed, 02 Dec 2009 21:09:41 +0000 Matthew Schnipper http://www.thefader.com/?p=20434 http://www.thefader.com/2009/12/02/gucci-mane-f-keyshia-cole-bad-bad-bad-mp3/feed/ 6 <p><em>I’m a bad boy but still there’s so much good in me</em>.

The conversation drifts from Milton Nascimiento (Zeus in El Guincho’s Pantheon) to calypso king Mighty Sparrow, and he says, “When I started producing, I was obsessed with exotica records.” It’s odd to meet a musician so energetic about other people’s music. Some can’t do it even when you specifically ask them too, but El Guincho’s a guy who big ups Martin Denny’s use of panning right before sharing this thoughts on Trinidadian harmonies, a guy who remembers where the cymbals were placed on that Bowie record.</p></blockquote> <p>El Guincho and Prins Thomas both have similarly varied tastes and keen ears, and the ability to reap a cross-section of sounds and house them under one rainbow. For his remix of “Antillas,” now available on <a href="http://beggarsgroupusa.com/releases/antillas/" target="_blank">12-inch</a>, Prins Thomas does not scamper far from the source, simply chopping and extending much of El Guincho’s vocal and removing and then teasing the original’s main melody, abstracting many of the song’s ancestral samples. It’s a cut up job, but more a sidestep and extension than a progression or regression. </p> <p><script language="JavaScript" src="http://www.thefader.com/blog/files/audio-player.js"></script><br /> <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.thefader.com/blog/files/player.swf" id="audioplayer1" height="24" width="290"><param name="movie" value="http://www.thefader.com/blog/files/player.swf"><param name="FlashVars" value="playerID=1&soundFile=http://thefader.cachefly.net/antillas-guincho-prinsthomas.mp3"><param name="quality" value="high"><param name="menu" value="false"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></object><br /> <strong>Stream: El Guincho, “Antillas (Prins Thomas Remix)”</strong></p> <div class="social_links"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://twitter.com/home?status=Currently+reading%3A+http://www.thefader.com/2009/11/20/premiere-stream-el-guincho-antillas-prins-thomas-remix/" title="Share this article with your Twitter followers"><img src="/wp-content/themes/thefader/images/twitter-16x16.png" /></a><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thefader.com%2F2009%2F11%2F20%2Fpremiere-stream-el-guincho-antillas-prins-thomas-remix%2F&t=Premiere+Stream%3A+El+Guincho%2C+%26%238220%3BAntillas+%28Prins+Thomas+Remix%29%26%238221%3B" title="Share this post on Facebook"><img src="/wp-content/themes/thefader/images/facebook-16x16.png" /></a></div><div style="clear: both;"></div> In his feature about El Guincho in FADER 54, Jace Clayton (aka fellow collage artist DJ /Rupture) outlined their shared nerd-out: After 15 minutes shooting the shit about Dilla and Guinean label Sylliphone and how focused Dr Dre was when NWA first [...] http://www.thefader.com/2009/11/19/premiere-weekend-youth-haunts-mp3/ http://www.thefader.com/2009/11/19/premiere-weekend-youth-haunts-mp3/#comments Thu, 19 Nov 2009 16:23:24 +0000 Sam Hockley-Smith http://www.thefader.com/?p=19981 http://www.thefader.com/2009/11/19/premiere-weekend-youth-haunts-mp3/feed/ 4 <p><a href="http://www.myspace.com/weekendmusic" target="_blank">Weekend</a>’s “Youth Haunts” is what happens if No Age traded in good vibes and instead got real angry from the depths of a muffled cavern.

We’ve met these dudes, and we would rather drink sodas on a porch with them than Neil Young about a thousand times over. That dude seems like he doesn’t even drink soda.

But for real, if we had known Bethany, and her bandmate Bobb Bruno, were capable of music this good, we would’ve fired her instantly. “The people need to hear this!” we would’ve said as we pushed her out the front door. But we didn’t so we just enjoyed her non-musical presence for the short time she was here. And now we enjoy her presence wherever we can find it. Today, that is on <a href="http://www.blackiris.tv/project/label/8" target="_blank">Black Iris</a>, the label releasing Best Coast’s latest single, both sides of which make us want to move to Tahiti and open an umbrella stand.

Certain music just sounds like church! The twerky funky chords in <a href="http://www.myspace.com/littlejinder"target="_blank">Jinder</a>’s excellent electro-disco “Youth Blood” were already like that (sidebar, why do so many Swedes have so much soul?), but one of our fave Brit dudes <a href="http://www.myspace.com/xvscott"target="_blank">Bok Bok</a> elevated ‘em with an extra kick in the junk, extending out the warm chords for a bit then letting congos and toms fall apart like candy coming from a pinata. We can dig this and will be digging further on the 21st of November, when Bok Bok plays NYC’s <a href="http://www.santospartyhouse.com/"target="_blank">Santos</a> with Joker and L-Vis 1990 (it’s on our calendar in red sharpie with a bunch of stars and exclamation points, so see you there). </p> <p><script language="JavaScript" src="http://www.thefader.com/blog/files/audio-player.js"></script><br /> <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.thefader.com/blog/files/player.swf" id="audioplayer1" height="24" width="290"><param name="movie" value="http://www.thefader.com/blog/files/player.swf"><param name="FlashVars" value="playerID=1&soundFile=http://thefader.cachefly.net/jinder-youth-blood-bok-bok.mp3"><param name="quality" value="high"><param name="menu" value="false"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></object><br /> <strong>Download: <a href="http://thefader.cachefly.net/jinder-youth-blood-bok-bok.mp3" target="_blank">Little Jinder, “Youth Blood (Bok Bok RMX)”</a></strong> (via <a href="http://www.factmagazine.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=3855&Itemid=99"target="_blank">Fact Mag</a>)</p> <div class="social_links"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://twitter.com/home?status=Currently+reading%3A+http://www.thefader.com/2009/11/03/little-jinder-youth-blood-bok-bok-rmx-mp3/" title="Share this article with your Twitter followers"><img src="/wp-content/themes/thefader/images/twitter-16x16.png" /></a><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thefader.com%2F2009%2F11%2F03%2Flittle-jinder-youth-blood-bok-bok-rmx-mp3%2F&t=Little+Jinder%2C+%26%238220%3BYouth+Blood+%28Bok+Bok+RMX%29%26%238221%3B+MP3" title="Share this post on Facebook"><img src="/wp-content/themes/thefader/images/facebook-16x16.png" /></a></div><div style="clear: both;"></div> Last night we went to a Fuck Buttons show and, though we were mostly sober, there was one moment where this white light was shining in our eyes, the chords were so glimmering and intense, and everything was so heightened we felt like someone had [...] http://www.thefader.com/2009/11/03/premiere-lee-fields-and-sugarman-co-stand-up-mp3/ http://www.thefader.com/2009/11/03/premiere-lee-fields-and-sugarman-co-stand-up-mp3/#comments Tue, 03 Nov 2009 15:41:29 +0000 Peter Macia http://www.thefader.com/?p=19371 http://www.thefader.com/2009/11/03/premiere-lee-fields-and-sugarman-co-stand-up-mp3/feed/ 6 <p>On November 24th <a href="http://www.daptonerecords.com/" target="_blank">Daptone Records</a> will release <em>Daptone Gold</em>, a collection of some of the label’s rarest and most favorite singles and deep cuts on CD and a lovingly packaged double LP, which includes a poster, a sticker and some amount of gold foil.

When we were in Ghana a couple years ago for our own hiplife story, Tinny was definitely one of the more prevalent artists being played in clubs and on radio, so it’s at least a good look that the corporate heads were down for an artist with some actual credibility, and to be totally honest, is probably a good look for a Ghanaian music industry sorely in need of money and exposure. </p> <p><script language="JavaScript" src="http://www.thefader.com/blog/files/audio-player.js"></script><br /> <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.thefader.com/blog/files/player.swf" id="audioplayer1" height="24" width="290"><param name="movie" value="http://www.thefader.com/blog/files/player.swf"><param name="FlashVars" value="playerID=1&soundFile=http://thefader.cachefly.net/tinny_zingolo-south-rakkas-crew-remix.mp3"><param name="quality" value="high"><param name="menu" value="false"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></object><br /> <strong>Download: <a href="http://thefader.cachefly.net/tinny_zingolo-south-rakkas-crew-remix.mp3" target="_blank">Tinny, “Zingolo (South Rakkas Crew Remix)”</a></strong> (via <a href="http://ghettobassquake.blogspot.com/2009/10/bombshell.html" target="_blank">Ghetto Bassquake</a>)</p> <div class="social_links"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://twitter.com/home?status=Currently+reading%3A+http://www.thefader.com/2009/10/23/tinny-zingolo-south-rakkas-crew-remix-mp3/" title="Share this article with your Twitter followers"><img src="/wp-content/themes/thefader/images/twitter-16x16.png" /></a><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thefader.com%2F2009%2F10%2F23%2Ftinny-zingolo-south-rakkas-crew-remix-mp3%2F&t=Tinny%2C+%26%238220%3BZingolo+%28South+Rakkas+Crew+Remix%29%26%238221%3B+MP3" title="Share this post on Facebook"><img src="/wp-content/themes/thefader/images/facebook-16x16.png" /></a></div><div style="clear: both;"></div> In the future of co-branded content even the most esoteric genres will have sponsorship opportunites.

Right? <a href="http://www.myspace.com/chllpll" target="_blank">Chll Pll</a>, his new duo whose ridiculously titled debut <em>Aggressively Humble</em> (better hope your parents aren’t psychologists), is a vehicle for Hill to basically blast himself to the moon. It sounds sort of like <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Here_Comes_the_Indian" target="_blank">“Here Comes the Indian”</a> with blast beats, until its supple, wavy keys are pounded into submission with a snare. A friend told us he fell asleep listening to Brian Eno the other night and had good dreams. Though we know that wasn’t Zach Hill, it very well could have been, the arc of this song moving steadily from REM to zen whenever he moves from drum ping to butterfly winging the cymbals. </del></p> <div class="social_links"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://twitter.com/home?status=Currently+reading%3A+http://www.thefader.com/2009/10/20/premiere-chll-pll-pass-out-mp3/" title="Share this article with your Twitter followers"><img src="/wp-content/themes/thefader/images/twitter-16x16.png" /></a><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thefader.com%2F2009%2F10%2F20%2Fpremiere-chll-pll-pass-out-mp3%2F&t=Premiere%3A+Chll+Pll%2C+%26%238220%3BPass+Out%26%238221%3B+MP3" title="Share this post on Facebook"><img src="/wp-content/themes/thefader/images/facebook-16x16.png" /></a></div><div style="clear: both;"></div> UPDATE: Just kidding, that song was actually “Now Then and When.” It’s a jam, so get the record.

Obvious girl-group touchstones like <a href="http://www.myspace.com/btambourine" target="_blank">Black Tambourine</a> aside, the song captures a lot of what’s exciting about music right now: it’s relentless, sloppy and unafraid to most definitely subconsciously jack what sounds like a Blink 182 bassline (but probably isn’t), which in itself could have been stolen from the same groups that all these guys were influenced by in the first place. But it’s the central guitar riff that gets us—like maybe we need to start putting this on repeat and fighting dudes? No?

A couple days ago FADER TV talked to <a href="http://www.thefader.com/2009/10/12/at-home-with-kyp-malone-of-rain-machine/" target="_blank">Kyp Malone</a> about his Rain Machine solo project; last Saturday, Tunde Adebimpe hosted the Radio Happy Hour variety show in Manhattan; Dave Sitek is probably producing the next pop masterpiece; and Gerard Smith and Jaleel Bunton both jump on this new song from malleable Brooklyn group <a href="http://www.myspace.com/midnightmassesandtheendofdays" target="_blank">Midnight Masses</a>. Smith produced it and Bunton lends his as-yet-unheard spectral vocal chords, and both leave no doubt that TVOTR is much more than its three most visible members. As far as Midnight Masses, this open-armed approach is kind of their whole thing, with appearances from Trail of Dead and Here We Go Magic members a not uncommon facet of both their album and live show. And judging by the results of “Walk On Water,” if anyone else wants to jump in the studio with them it would probably not be a bad thing. If “Walk On Water” suits you, the band’s new EP <em>Rapture Ready, I Gazed At The Body</em> is produced entirely by Gerard Smith and will be out Nov 10th via Collect Records.</p> <p><script language="JavaScript" src="http://www.thefader.com/blog/files/audio-player.js"></script><br /> <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.thefader.com/blog/files/player.swf" id="audioplayer1" height="24" width="290"><param name="movie" value="http://www.thefader.com/blog/files/player.swf"><param name="FlashVars" value="playerID=1&soundFile=http://thefader.cachefly.net/MM-WalkOnWater.mp3"><param name="quality" value="high"><param name="menu" value="false"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></object><br /> <strong>Download: <a href="http://thefader.cachefly.net/MM-WalkOnWater.mp3" target="_blank">Midnight Masses, “Walk On Water”</a></strong></p> <div class="social_links"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://twitter.com/home?status=Currently+reading%3A+http://www.thefader.com/2009/10/14/premiere-midnight-masses-walk-on-water-mp3/" title="Share this article with your Twitter followers"><img src="/wp-content/themes/thefader/images/twitter-16x16.png" /></a><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thefader.com%2F2009%2F10%2F14%2Fpremiere-midnight-masses-walk-on-water-mp3%2F&t=Premiere%3A+Midnight+Masses%2C+%26%238220%3BWalk+On+Water%26%238221%3B+MP3" title="Share this post on Facebook"><img src="/wp-content/themes/thefader/images/facebook-16x16.png" /></a></div><div style="clear: both;"></div> While TV On The Radio remains on hiatus, its members stay fully busy.

It appears that Dominant Legs are an actual thing, not quite akin to being left or right-handed, but a finding of unnatural strength in one leg over the other. Lynch says, though, the name came from something weirdly blurted at the beach looking at a friend’s sexy gams pre-skinnydipping in Newport Beach, California. “Sexy” is his word, used completely directly, like bursting attraction was all he felt and he was not ashamed. People don’t say sexy too much these days—it’s an adjective for Cindy Crawford and Tom Selleck, Pepsi cans and Corvettes. But Lynch is honest in his word choice, reflecting nice legs’ supple, inherent grace in his songs. Dominant Legs, Lynch’s solo project, where he sings, plays guitar (acoustic and non), synthesizer and drum machines, is delicate pop, quivering and lush. These are his first demos, his first stabs at the real thing, and the songs benefit from that label, as though by removing pressure to preliminarily produce, he’s given the music a loose freedom. That curious creativity manifests in handdrums, echoed falsetto, brass-imitating keys and jazzy bass. In exploratory spirit, Dominant Legs resembles Arthur Russell, touching on dance music, folk and rock. “About My Girls” starts with a clomping drum machine, quickly met with shining guitar, then a light touch and keyboard and druggy handclaps—it’s simultaneous meticulous and woozy. <em>I just can’t see to forget about my girls</em> he sings, and not knowing the rest of the lyrics, that could be a good or bad thing, lamentation just as plausible as savory memory. “Young at Love and Life” has the same hard drums and liquid synth, but is worked up tenfold with funky bass and guitar, like Lynch was raised on Archie Bell and dream sequences. We’ve been keeping our Dominant Legs tracks under our hat for a few weeks now, a special secret. But the other night, walking home from a birthday party, we were listening to “About My Girls” when something flashed at our feet. It was our feet, reflected in a big broken mirror on the sidewalk, white frame intact, propped up against the sidewalk. It seemed like it should seem cliche, willfully sappy, and maybe it was. But that seemed like the point, of the moment, of Dominant Legs, as if you embrace the emotion full steam, bleary-eyed and sentimental as it may be, all the negative associations wash up like vapor and you’re left with the gem of real feeling. If you like these tracks, we’ll have more in the coming days, and if you’re on the West Coast you can catch Dominant Legs opening up for Girls soon.</p> <p><script language="JavaScript" src="http://www.thefader.com/blog/files/audio-player.js"></script><br /> <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.thefader.com/blog/files/player.swf" id="audioplayer1" height="24" width="290"><param name="movie" value="http://www.thefader.com/blog/files/player.swf"><param name="FlashVars" value="playerID=1&soundFile=http://thefader.cachefly.net/dl-young.mp3"><param name="quality" value="high"><param name="menu" value="false"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></object><br /> <strong>Download: <a href="http://thefader.cachefly.net/dl-young.mp3" target="_blank">Dominant Legs, “Young at Love and Life”</a></strong></p> <p><script language="JavaScript" src="http://www.thefader.com/blog/files/audio-player.js"></script><br /> <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" [...] Dominant Legs is Ryan Lynch, native San Franciscan.

It’s not about you. That is a trick. Everyone watched Charlie Brown drag a dead Christmas tree around or get pwned by some random on Halloween a thousand times growing up and identified with getting kicked around or doing stuff other people clowned on. So when that music comes on you subconsciously identify it with something you remember fondly from childhood. Watch that same scene with Rusted Root playing and see how you feel about it. Oddly enough, our parents listened to a lot of disco and Prokofiev at the same time growing up, which might explain why they’re not together anymore and why that Wes Anderson business doesn’t work on us, but also why the latest edition of Round Table Knights’ season mixes made us want to play Candyland real bad.

She’s played her first shows, signed her first big record deals and now unveils some more of her personal taste with the upcoming single on her Zoo Music label (with Brandon Welchez of Crocodiles), an appropriately scumbaggy little double-sided jam by Austin’s <a href="http://www.myspace.com/wovenbones" target="_blank">Woven Bones</a>. The single, which you can purchase now right <a href="http://www.killzoomusic.com/2009/10/woven-bones-minus-touch-12-ep-now-on.html" target="_blank">here</a>, features an A and B side that both sound like drinking flat warm beer out of an old carburetor, which is actually not bad if there’s nothing else around. And since we stole a still from it for the image on the homepage, we included Oswald James’ video of Woven Bones playing another recent song, “Your Sorcery,” at Austin’s Psych Fest #2 a couple months ago. The band will be playing a record release party in Austin on October 18th at Beerland, while Dum Dum Girls will be at CMJ at the end of this month.

When we started jamming it as a band, it turned out that it was a really comfortable sound for us all and it sounded really good. The idea of the band from the start was to have a “posi” vibe and the new stuff feels pretty positive. We are all from noisy music backgrounds so although we have more party tunes in our set we’ll still be laying into our instruments. </p> <p>Matt: As Joe said, we tried something new as it was getting boring and not such a challenge to kick out some garage songs, and the THEE was a reference to my absolute love for the man <a href="http://www.billychildish.com/" target="_blank">Billy Childish</a> but when you see THEE FAIR OHS it’s pretty similar to <a href="http://www.myspace.com/ohsees" target="_blank">THEE OH SEES</a> who are an equally amazing band, it’s best not to be known as the other band who like old garage punk records and noise with Thee in the name. </p> <p><strong>I think it’s fair to say you all love Paul Simon.

Plus he has Chevy Chase in his video, great choices all round.<br /> <strong><br /> Is it true Chevy Chase was the first drummer in Steely Dan? </strong><br /> Joe: It is!

The limited and handnumbered single will come as a horrifying swirly picture disk sheathed in a glow in the dark sleeve of madness created by Stoughton (check it out after the jump). The music itself sounds almost identical to the record the neighbor played when we were kids that challenged our will for Reesies and bubblegum. She invariably handed out apples. Screw that lady. the “Shrieks” single, with b-side “Creaks,” will be out on October 20th, but seeing as how the 96 special pre-orders are already sold out, we recommend you hop on the broom and get over to <a href="http://www.graveface.com/nr.html" target="_blank">Gravesend</a>.

Jeezy was sitting on a fire hydrant wearing Levi’s. There was not a lot of text, but what it essentially said was “Why would I wear anything else? I’m a dude who has to take care of stuff. Things need to get done, I do them.” Significantly less flashy than <em>I’m a business maaaan</em>. And it’s that salt-of-the-earth honesty and ruggedness that shines through in the best of Jeezy. With this track, supposedly from <em>Thug Motivation 103</em>, he’s leaning heavily on the soulful strings end of dramatic production. Not quite back to the Curtis Mayfield genius of his Cannon-produced “Go Crazy,” which is probably the most perfect song in the history of recorded music—or whatever—but this sidesteps the timpani thunderbolts for something more along the lines of his Billy Paul-sampling economy paean “Circulate” from <em>The Recession</em>, a song that unfortunately was tied heavily to Belvedere vodka, kind of killing its cred. But it is an unheralded beast. “I Got This” isn’t as exuberant as either track—sounds like Jeezy maybe recorded this sitting down and satisfied, not up on his feet belting obscenities, celebrations and moans. But, you know, JFK on a boat chilling with some sunglasses is as good as “Ich bin ein Berliner” JFK. Different shit different day, not mad.</p> <p><script language="JavaScript" src="http://www.thefader.com/blog/files/audio-player.js"></script><br /> <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.thefader.com/blog/files/player.swf" id="audioplayer1" height="24" width="290"><param name="movie" value="http://www.thefader.com/blog/files/player.swf"><param name="FlashVars" value="playerID=1&soundFile=http://thefader.cachefly.net/young-jeezy-got-this.mp3"><param name="quality" value="high"><param name="menu" value="false"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></object><br /> <strong>Download: <a href="http://thefader.cachefly.net/young-jeezy-got-this.mp3" target="_blank">Young Jeezy, “I Got This (Don’t Worry)”</a></strong></p> <div class="social_links"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://twitter.com/home?status=Currently+reading%3A+http://www.thefader.com/2009/10/07/young-jeezy-i-got-this-dont-worry-mp3/" title="Share this article with your Twitter followers"><img src="/wp-content/themes/thefader/images/twitter-16x16.png" /></a><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thefader.com%2F2009%2F10%2F07%2Fyoung-jeezy-i-got-this-dont-worry-mp3%2F&t=Young+Jeezy%2C+%26%238220%3BI+Got+This+%28Don%26%238217%3Bt+Worry%29%26%238221%3B+MP3" title="Share this post on Facebook"><img src="/wp-content/themes/thefader/images/facebook-16x16.png" /></a></div><div style="clear: both;"></div> A couple years ago Young Jeezy was in a brief photo essay in Blender about artists wearing what they would in their regular situations.

And who better to reflect the state of the States than Bon Iver, who’s attained cult fame worldwide but prefers to live in the sleepy Wisconsin town of Eau Claire, and Dam-Funk, who resides in middle class South Central Los Angeles but whose music inspires funk utopias. Hence the roster of our latest issue podcast, including Family Band, Volcano Choir, Dam-Funk, Neon Indian, Kyle Hall, Warpaint and Kurt Vile, represents all corners of the USA’s urban decay and rural ramshackleness—with the exception of Fuck Buttons, whose new album is so galactic we think they might be ambassadors from another universe.
