the videoband: the saga continues
February 12, 2008 | Filed Under music | 13 Comments
I mentioned THE VIDEOBAND! about a week ago. I hope I gave it ample time to sink into your marrow filled bones.
The way these guys cut/slice/rip up vocals, rhythms, and re-dub tracks is reallllly appealing to me. It’s probably just the fact that they lay a dirty, synthy, stuttery guitar sound over all their tracks. (read: vst, bag raiders, knightlife etc etc) –but I couldn’t care less.
–And I’m not complaining.
Dear Videoband,
GIVE US MORE. <3
I’m going to quote/paraphrase/borrow what CRLZZZ from hipsterrunoff said about Yelle - Ce Jeu: (ok, full quote)
“Ce Jeu” Remixes are the new “Drugs In My Body” Remixes are the new “D.A.N.C.E” Remixes are the new ______ remixes, etc etc.
INAHALE THIS MY FRIENDS!!
Yelle - Ce Jeu (slaughtered by the videoband rmx)
Up next, Rihanna - Umbrella. Now, from the day this original track was conceived I avoided it like the plague due to my hatred of everything that leaves this girl’s whorish mouth. I was surprised by a remix I heard of it on my boy CITS‘ website (rest in pieces, cits the music blog), and I told myself that remixes of Rihanna could be acceptable.
PRIME EXAMPLE: Videoband thankfully throws some more layers over her god-awful voice. Paper bagging it so to speak.
Thanks, Videoband, for making abominations like these more palatable, and making hipster children believe Rihanna could be cool.

Yeah, you heard me right. The Pacemaker is bullshit. Many people have talked about it…but really now. Who do YOU know that has one.
Until Pacemaker sends me test unit in the mail, I’m calling bullshit. You hear that you euro trash techno slaves?
pacemaker…. more like………shitmaker.

Neon Coyote is back with somewhat of a sequel to their original D.A.N.C.E.P.A.R.T.Y. mixtape. At this point, what isn’t there to say. I seriously can’t say much else other than, very well done guys. 131 samples in just under 21 minutes.
Classic NC style mixing, they are (and have been) establishing their own unique sound and I’d have it no other way.
LOOK OUT FOR THE “ILOVETHEPATRIOTS” DROP!!!! hahaha
Neon Coyote - Holler at the Moon
read on for the tracklist… try to keep up if you can.

things i love: parisian lyrics (when they’re in english)

It’s pretty much a given that I will love any track The Teenagers sends out to its e-audience. If you haven’t checked out their tracks, you must, and you will.
I love parisian lyrics (when they’re in english) because they are brutally and perhaps unknowingly honest. Somewhere in the translation of french to english, something happens that strips the words of all ulterior meanings and kinda slice you right across the throat. That semi-gay-retard sounding (totally cool) parisian accent just adds to the honesty of the words.
Those of you who know me know that I NEVER listen to lyrics, but this is where I make my exception. That’s gotta be saying something.
Here’s a Poney Poney (awesome, stream junior 345394934 times on myspace please.) remix of the Teenagers - Love No. Just listen to the monologue!!!
The fact that the track itself is awesome is almost secondary this time.
big ups to the big ballers at redthreat for putting this one up!!
Teenagers - Love No (Poney Poney emotion remix)
The Teenagers are definitely veterans here. In case you were born yesterday, here’s a live mix they did in ‘06 for Pharrell of the FLUOKIDS on his radio show, “miam les fruits” with radio campus. It is tops.
