I Wasn't Lying


HEY I'm back. 4 songs today, all of them so so def.

Secret Machines - Atomic Heels
Holy shit. Holy shitting shit. When Secret Machines lost Benjamin Curtis a few years ago, I was distraught. I thought my favorite band was preparing to disappear forever. They replaced him though, and the new album (Secret Machines) is a phenomenal return to form. I can't remember the last time I was so blown away. Which brings me to my next point ----->

Secret Machines - Dreaming Of Dreaming
WHY IS THIS NOT ON THE ALBUM? I guess when you have as many mind-blowing space rock face-melting acid tracks as these guys do, it doesn't matter if you make something this great into a B-side. Any song that can make me sit still with my jaw dropped for 8 minutes is a rare treat. Secret Machines specialize in doing just that. Great title too.

Rex The Dog - Bubblicious
Got the new Rex The Dog compilation yesterday. It's sad - he's one of those guys that I love listening to whenever I remember it, but I usually forget about him. Probably because this is the first thing I've gotten from him that isn't a 12, which I tend to bury in all the other music. But no matter. "Bubblicious" feels good, and so does the rest. It's called "The Rex The Dog Show," and it's some quite nice electro for your dome.

SCSI-9 - Boys Away
New SCSI-9 leaked the other day. Since I've been on a minimal bender the last few months (I swear that's all they play in Europe, which is totally cool), this is a very good thing. I've got much love for music that sounds equally as good when I'm trying to sleep as it does when blasting out of a PA in a warehouse. This is a nice eerie little joint, with all the pops clicks beeps and hums that this sort of thing entails. It's pretty bouncy to boot.

Oh what the hell. Here's another song. Do you like French house? Do you like Thomas Bangalter and DJ Falcon? How about the two of them together as Together? This isn't a new track (2003), but considering how huge all things French and musical have become in the last few years it still sounds pretty fr fr fresh. There's something special about French Touch - it can be repetitive as hell and not really develop until several minutes into a track, but for some reason it just makes me progressively happier and happier until my face hurts from smiling for 11 minutes. Plus it is AWESOME to dance to.
Together - So Much Love To Give
