Music Rewind

Not to step on Chris's territory

but it's time for a music review.
obviously you've heard these songs...
but had to search for the videos (so inconvenient!)
So Im gathering them in one place for my... ah, I mean your convenience.

'cause I do this all for you
not me... cause blogs are certainly not a place for time-wasting narcissistic masturbation.

oh shit
yes they are.


damn.



Yelle: A Cause Des Gason
featuring the new Tecktonik dancing... and thus the beginning of 90's retro!
(including the necessary commercial exploitation)



CONVERSE: My drive through
NERD + SANTOGOLD - Selling out never sounded so good- the converse ad.




Hello Baltimore!
Rye Rye with Blaqstarr, both out of crab town
(mmmmn... crab cakes)

Rye Rye : Shake it to the ground.



Duh Santogold

Santogold: Lights out.


Santogold:



Graphics (super Duh MIA)

GOAAAL GOAL! GOOOOAAAAL BRAZIL!

No, it not the world cup...

It's my new favorite song!
San Paulo been pumping out the new bands- CSS and Bonde De Role etc...
Manchester better wake the fuck up.

I don't know what the hell is going on with dance music now
and it doesn't really have a title that seems to stick yet.
But certainly MIA, Santogold, Rye Rye, and alot of bands coming out of South and Central
America are on top of it.
It's lo-fi kinda "electro dance punk"... or at least how I'd describe it.
You could call it "electro grime" to I guess.
Fuck I wish I knew what to call it- cause it's been going on for several YEARS now.
And is the Mighty AwesomeSauce incarnate
Anyway,
Listen to this shit and weep in joy-


AQUI PARA VOCES - BURAKA SOM SISTEMA FEAT DEIZE TIGRONA

Rio Rio pointed out that "Aqui para vocês" literally means 'here's to you' but what it really means is 'I'm flicking you off', it's what you say before you flip the bird.
(Also here's too hoping Jon and Hieu change the music up in LXD)


Cansei De Ser Sexy (CSS)
Took their name from Beyonce' stupidly saying to the brazilian press "I'm tired of being sexy"
but on a great show too- okay, you should be listening already... click bellow...

CSS: Let's make love and listen to Death from Above


CSS: Alala
awesome backwards punk anger prom party!



Bonde Do Role
actually friends with CSS and tour together...
similar sound a little more discordent and sample heavy.

Bonde Do Role: Solta O Frango
how can you not like a human chicken fight?


Bonde Do Role :Office Boy
only for the hardcore fans of the genre'


Bonde Do Role : Marina Gasolina
The song is classic the video is not.
but fuck it you can't not dance to it.



Brazil + 6
(and next week I'll put some more of the Santogold and MIA up- cause it's long overdue )

Disco Dancer Jam

Ah, 70's Bollywood....
The seventies did wonderful things for Bollywood.
Sadly, this glorious heyday passed and most Bollywood dance numbers look exactly like Brintney Spear's videos now.

So today is all themed around a less played jam from the well known "Disco Dancer Craze."
....
Wait what?!! You're not following Disco Dancer!?! For shame!!!!!
Here's a catch up or remminder for you lame'ites



That was refreshing.
But here's the crazy beat that inspired this post.
(from the same movie)



Okay, I guess It would be lazy not to include MIA cover too.
She can't dance, but she makes solid beats.
