Chromeo - Don't Turn The Lights On

Chromeo played Terminal 5 Friday and Saturday night. I was lucky enough to go Friday night. And it was bonkers. One of the better shows I've been to in a long time. They certainly can put on a spectacle. True showman, they were tight and on point. It was a total dance party from start to finish. Apparently there was an unofficial dress code, and that code was plaid for men, sexy outfits for women. It was certainly a lively and attractive crowd. As they chanted "Chromeo, oh oh" I felt like I was walking down the stairs and out into the boxing ring. The energy was high as they went right into their set playing all of their classics with great reditions of "Momma's Boy" "Bonafied Lovin" and energized versions of "Hot Mess" and "Don't Turn the Lights On" complete with Robert Palmer-esque backup singers and Peter Frampton-esque talk box. They couldn't have put on a better show. It had been a while since I had listened to Chromeo. Now they are back in heavy rotation, and I wonder why they ever left.

Lana Del Ray - Blue Jeans (Club Clique Remix)

In what was an already amazing song, Club Clique has managed to make it even better. Lana Del Rey is the "it" girl of the moment and it's not undeserved. She has an amazing voice and a very unique delivery. She also happens to be drop dead gorgeous which certianly doesn't hurt her appeal. But her voice and talent stand on their own. I'm looking forward to hearing and seeing more from her.

One of the more interesting pieces I've seen from ESPN in a while. Highly worth watching. Extremely compelling. Dean Potter, the nutbag that tight rope walks over 2,500 foot valleys is just incredible. It's one of the most insane feats I've ever seen. You can watch a good portion of it online here:

LIPS - Everything To Me (Adventure Club Dubstep Remix)

This is the kind of dubstep I can tolerate. It's not totally aggressive. It's a little more subtle and not so in your face. Dubstep seems to be turning into a pissing contest of who can create the most ridiculous, over the top, filthy bass. Even if it doesn't actually have any continuity or redeeming audio quality. Which is why I think most dubstep sucks. Because, well it does. But there is some tasteful dubstep out there as well. If you can weed through all the Frat Step you can find gems like this. Where it makes sense, and sounds.... good! Crazy to think about, I know. But how do you even dance to dubstep? I don't know. What I do know is this is good. And you should listen.

Mord Fustang - The Electric Dream (Fussy Boy Remix)

OK. I am not down with the whole take a popular name, switch out the first letters like a 5 year old and POOF! It's a new name. Regardless, of his moniker this is solid music here. A banger which is nice, I hadn't heard one of those in a while. He's reppin Estonia. Look out.
