I’m eagerly awaiting a full-length Chateau Marmont album in the near future especially after the killer Solar Apex EP released last year.
Speaking of new, Chateau Marmont along with fellow parisians The Teenagers, Koko Von Napoo, and Housse de Racket teamed up with Jean Touitou of A.P.C. to make some neat band t-shirts. Buy them here.
To refresh your memory, Chateau Marmont did a stellar remix of Midnight Juggernauts which you can listen to here and this next track is off of the Solar Apex EP which is good material to sink your teef (back soon! we hope…) into as you wait for what lie ahead….

Bonus:
OCD Automatic gets obsessive compulsive with our friend Whitney. If you’ve been around for a minute, you’ve probably listened to his awesome mixtape via Bigstereo. If you haven’t, check it ASAP as it’s so dope (tracklist in the lyrics field, THANK YOU, finally someone else who knows what’s up). It has a really good lead in and out so even if you’re 19 drinks in, you really can’t go wrong. Play it at the Beverly Hills High prom.

My trusty steed of 4+ years has finally failed me. The backlight or inverter on my 17″ Powerbook finally gave out and I’m left with a gimpy computer through which I cannot see the cyber world. I have finally gotten around to hooking up an external monitor and getting back to my normal daily grind.
This happened just after vacation which would explain the insane delay in content between now and my last post.
Hello everyone, I’m still here.
Lately I’ve been getting down to fat and funky basslines and Lovelock from NY has been kicking out the jams. Word up to Aleks from the discodust for uncovering this gem. (ps: let’s start more mailing lists please)
listen for the awesome synth keyboarding:

Speaking of funky bass lines, Fred Falke has been making his rounds in the blog world lately. This balding, stiff looking french man may be awkward in real life, but he brings the funk. The collaboration of Fred Falke’s fret burning bass skills and Miami Horror’s nostalgic synth stabs is heaven when added to Pnau’s “Embrace”.

Finally what post on this website would be complete without a track by Midnight Juggernauts? Arguably one of my favorite bands in Australia (possibly the world) right now.
Gearing up for their new single release, come a slew of remixes for “Into the Galaxy”. Also a really dope dope dope dope (more dope) video:
It has been established that the “big gay australian circle jerk” phenomenon exists, however, Paris is destined to break the trend. Chateau Marmont (not to be confused with Chateau Marmont –my new residence) added a much needed parisian twist to this track (next next level blog music inbreeding). Anyway, fuck typing all this, just listen.

I just finished sifting through a shit ton of emails, and I’m pleased to say that quite a few things made my ears and eyes happy. Stay tuned.
ps: does anyone out there at Apple want to gift me a macbook pro? I’d really like that.
pps: i heard you can get free and steezy sunglasses that will instantly increase your street cred at glahsez.
