Sunshine For Your Ears
Everything is Awesome, except maybe that song. Maybe. With stunning stop-motion-esque digital animation, almost every Lego character we know and love, comes to live with the same yellow-headed always-happy-go-lucky personas we’ve manufactured for ourselves. The world abounds with serialized parts, new and old, ubiquitous and rare. Water flows and buildings crumble same as if they […]
It has been over three months since I stumbled into this song on the almighty Bandcamp and I have yet to think of anything to say, except that it is sublime. And now you know.
I find myself reluctant to post to PaisleyTunes because I am afraid that the music I want to write about won’t be new enough. Then I was reminded by my fellow contributors that it’s not about being the first to find the music, it’s about the music and sharing your perspective. So, here goes, no […]
As promised, I am here today to discuss the greatest party music ever, Bootie’s annual “best-of” mashup collection. Bootie, an enormous quasi-underground dance party, was started in San Francisco in 2003 by DJ Adrian & DJ Mysterious (aka: A Plus D), in an attempt to create a nightclub based exclusively on bootleg mashups. Nine years later […]
While many of the songs on Jimmy’s Show have appeared in the past and are familiar to those of you who subscribed to the now defunct Noir Club, to the rest of the world, Jim Noir has only released three prior albums (not the 27 singles, demos, & EPs you may or may not have […]
When society finally reaches its pinnacle, the planets will align and we, as a people, will admit that Super Mario should be our president. Colors will become brighter, cheerful electronic sounds will percolate through the pink glowing atmosphere, and Starship Amazing shall be anointed Poet Laureates. Many say it’s impossible. A few think it has already happened. […]
Lest you think I only post music from Detroit, here is some music from Detroit’s fancy big brother, Chicago. This is Dan Schiller‘s project The Light Years. He records all this hip shit on his laptop with a little help from some friends. I hope you dig it. So far, I like the track Boots […]
Tuesday, May 15, 2012: It was a homecoming for The Barr Brothers and the room showed it, locals and friends loitered near the stage and at the green-room door. Kishi Bashi on the other hand is relatively new to town yet still had a throng of young girls (and at least one talkative man) swooning […]
If you haven’t seen enough of Kishi Bashi on the blog lately (exhibits A & B), I am alerting everyone to the fact that NPR has a couple live shows on its website, streaming both mp3 and HD video. Or, look no further than the PaisleyBlog to provide you a link to the Washington DC show and check […]
Ah, faithful PaisleyTunes fans. Today I bring to you quite a treat. Its Kishi Bashi again! I cannot get enough and so, I assume, neither can you. But alas, Bashi has only one album. So, I, intrepid music hound and servant to the readership, sniffed out another.. earlier.. raw-er and equally beautiful EP. Simply a […]
Beyond this blog’s rampant bear obsession and Be Strong‘s introductory track, The Birds & The Bees’ quiet music-box Teddybear Picnic conclusion, there are many reasons to stop everything and listen to this album. The 2 Bears (I feel like I’ve posted them before but for some reason haven’t) consist of London pals Raf Rundell and Joe Goddard […]
While awaiting King Charles‘ release (due in a week), I set out to discover additional music that fell into a similar vein. Coincidentally, I happen to receive a notice that The Barr Brothers would be traveling through Boston, MA and playing a show at the Brighton Music Hall in Allston. The brothers are playing that […]
