If you know me you may have noticed that I tend to become obsessed with music/websites/art for a short period of time and then move on. I even have a hard time keeping up with myself sometimes so I am starting a Favorite Things section of the blog. Much like Oprah, because she’s sexy and rich.
1. Music:
Neon Neon, Stainless Style
Recent musical obsession. Interesting take on 80′s revival mixing hip hop and 80′s synths with current style. Highlights include I told her on Alderaan, reminds me of a summer ballad circa ’87, their current ‘single’ I lust you, and another personal favorite Belfast. The album is really a concept album inspired by the American playboy engineer John Delorean who developed some kind of famous car… (pretty 80′s fab, no?). Unfortunately, it is not currently available on emusic. So, I’ve been using amazon for downloads. Really Amazon’s mp3 downloads should be on my favorite things list. It’s cheaper than itunes, doesn’t have a computer sharing limit and compatible with every program.
take a listen to all of I Lust You free here: http://music.download.com/neonneon/3600-8362_32-101133770.html
2. Fashion:
Refinery 29 a NYC based blog about independent fashion, music, travel and other wonderful whims. Very current and helpful. I especially like this article, thank you ebay and highest thank you Refinery 29 for pointing out what my current wardrobe is missing. Like vintage lace…..
3. DJ/Mix
Digitalism, Kitsuné Tabloid Mix
My psuedo obsession with Kitsuné the French fashion line turned music production/label is not necessarily new. Since stumbling on them sometime last fall I’ve paid less attention to their clothing and have definitely seen their music popping up all over. They even released a few songs from one of my faves, Fischespooner during the spring/summer. If you’ve ever called my phone you are bound to recognize this:
Okay, but I am getting way off the point. Get this mix. http://www.emusic.com/album/Kitsun%C3%A9-Tabloid-Compiled-Mixed-by-Digitalism-Kitsun%C3%A9-Tabloid-Compiled-Mixed-by-Digitalism-MP3-Download/11252563.html
Unfortunately, they don’t have it as a single continuous song anymore, but you can download it as a gapless album and view the mix. Seriously worth an emusic subscription especially considering the free downloads they give you for signing up! Digitalism and I are on the same page, for reals, it kind of freaked me out when I saw the list. Not only does it have most of the artists I’ve been listening to lately, but even the Hercules and Love Affair song, Raise Me Up, which is by far my favorite on the album. Get it yo. Listen to a very small portion of it free on the Kitsuné myspace page. In the meantime I’ll be finding more Digitalism.
Digitalism is SO good. I hope they come back to DC in the near future.
