Stars on 33 – I Feel Music in Your Heart
Lay back and let the funk infiltrate your soul.
ps: if this track sounds familiar to you, then yes, it’s because it’s sampled from Idris Muhammed – Could Heaven Ever Be Like This. Listen Here.
Stars on 33 is actually really elusive to me. I know they’re from the early 00’s, but other than that I don’t know anything about them. Some say they were a Vulture production/release, but the internet and my records tell me they had a release(s) with Work it Baby. Anyone know more about them?
pps: special shouts to hypemachine for dropping me. i can now live in peace without worrying about how many hearts i get on each post!!

Anyone get phantom blinks on their blackberry? I suffer greatly.
Things around these parts have been very much less than stellar. The update frequency of this website was just starting to back into semi-frequent, and shit just started happening. life?

Phoenix – If I Ever Feel Better
just play this over and over.
When it’s all over I’ll let you know.
PS: In an attempt to buck up, I held a little giveaway on twitter. If you’re not following, you obviously missed your chance! @lazyvillain won himself a lovely copy of the rare Breakbot – Baby I’m Yours Remix EP (feat. aeroplane) –ON VINYL!!!
I’ll be giving away more of my record collection in the coming months so be on the lookout.

Rooney, representing the California sound

Although it may seem true, not everything that happens in the Mania is techno. We listen to everything from gangster rap to gospel. Switch that gear lever from techno to 60/70’s California Pop and let’s take a cruise up PCH, through Malibu.
Rooney, knowing I’ve been a long time fan, kindly sent their upcoming album ‘Eureka’ for me to check out. As a fan I honestly CANNOT say it’s AMAZING. It has a few gems, but as an album it isn’t something I’m impressed with. After so long in the making and with their previous songwriting being so good, something is left to be desired in this release.
I try not to compare future albums with previous albums, but it’s so hard not to. The previous two albums were straight no frills old Southern California power-pop albums –killer hook after killer hook. It just feels like they got tired of the happiness and went to sleep on this one. Is Rooney growing up?
Here’s one track that stood out. Everything about it is perfect, but it’s a pity it doesn’t last longer.

Pick your head up, Rooney, life isn’t this sad. (and I still love you)

And if that wasn’t enough to start your weekend right, this is sure to tickle your fancy. As always, Holy Ghost be putting their magic disco touch on everything in sight. This time, Monarchy. SO, GOOD, DOT, COM. Annie Mac played this last week on her show and it completely blew my mind. So stoked this track made its way over to my ear holes.
