Soap Collectors

Soap Collectors have thus far been little more than a blip to me. They don’t have a record out, but there are some demos floating on MySpace and Muxtape… I actually heard their tune through Justin Ouellette’s sample mix and it pretty much blew my mind, so I hit them up with an email and got the sweetest reply in response, to the extent that I actually blogged about it at the time. But more importantly, they sent me an mp3, a tune called ‘Windows’, with promises of more material to come.

That was probably six months ago now, and still no sign of an EP or album, but these guys are definitely a band to watch. The tunes are blissful, dreamy, impeccably crafted, and the vocals are sugar-sweet, like going to candy paradise. When the promised record finally drops, it is going to be massive.

Anyhow, write to them and see if they are as courteous to you as they were to me. It’ll probably brighten your day. And if they throw in a mp3 or two, well then, all the better.

Soap Collectors operate on myspace and muxtape.

France Gall - 1968

This is a strange album. It is France Gall’s psychedelic record, since it was obligatory for all musicians to release one during the late-1960s. I haven’t heard many others from French musicians, except for Bonnie & Cylde by Gainsbourg and Bardot, so I don’t know how prevalent the trend was over there. But I hope there are more of them, because this is astronomically cheesy and leaves me wanting more (it’s only 31 minutes long, an ideal album length). You can probably get some idea of what it is going to sound like just by looking at the artwork, which is a ridiculously typical late-’60s psychedelic album cover.

Being a France Gall album, it is not all psychedelic pop; there are, as always, some extremely cheesy string-based pop songs, and I think that is part of its appeal. It’s very fun, and there are a few S. Gainsbourg-penned songs here, which is always good.

Chiddy Bang / Miike Snow

Chiddy Bang

Chiddy Bang are a hip hop group with nice beats and refreshing lyrics, proving you don’t have to rap about being wasted to be catchy. They’re also great at using samples in different ways. Including a sample of “Kids” by MGMT in their latest single “Opposite of Adults”. Clever title, right?

CHIDDY BANG – “OPPOSITE OF ADULTS”

CHIDDY BANG – “SOONER OR LATER”

CHECK ‘EM OUT!

Next up:

Miike Snow

I’ve also been listening to alot of Miike Snow this week, they’re new album is amazing. They have a sort of electronic sound, with pop vocals, if that makes sense. They make great laid back songs that are dance friendly, or you could always just chill to it and nod your head. Here are a couple of my favorites:

MIIKE SNOW – “BLACK AND BLUE”

MIIKE SNOW – “ANIMAL”

MIIKE SNOW – “SILVIA”

from the album "Miike Snow"

GET THAT ALBUM!

Anyways, I’m done for the time being. Hope everyone is having a good week!

Lady Gaga did something today

 

And by that we mean announced a bunch of tour dates (including one somewhat close to me, in Tacoma). Oh and her video for “Telephone” with Beyonce (see above) may or may not have been banned from MTV. It wasn’t, but CNN said it was.

CNN reported on Sunday that MTV wouldn’t touch the video with a ten-inch pole because it was “so strong, so suggestive, so sexual, so violent” but MTV denied that was true. They said:

“MTV did not ban Lady Gaga and Beyoncé’s ‘Telephone’ video — in fact, we premiered it on Friday, March 12, on-air and online at MTV.com, two days before this story was falsely reported,” said MTV Executive Vice President of Music and Talent Amy Doyle. “Fans can continue to catch the video as we repeat it on-air and online.”

Rolling Stone also has her tour dates, which are:
