88 days in my veins

 

Fuck Yeh

Watching Cold Pumas live is akin to the build up to a euphoric orgasm. FACT. This track is taken from a 12″ record out on Male Bondings label. Just for the record, other than touring buddies there is zero relationship musically between these bands. Cold Pumas, are a special band. Do whatever you need to, just make sure you see them live. Music stolen from 20JazzFunkGreats.

MP3: Cold Pumas: Tropical Guilt

A fine recipe indeed, all a boy really needs/wants is the love of a great woman. The acceptance by those he admires, and the warmth of a great meal.

….but sometimes that’s not enough. And sometimes the downs are heavier than the highs.

Big Baby Stereo Monsters

Why we’re so happy:

1. This is the debut release from Big Stereo Records.
2. Big Stereo is one of our favorite blogs.
3. Travis that runs BigStereo is a lovely boy.
4. Mixes from previously endorsed and well, close to heart JOCKS, SEAMS and GOLDEN BUG are set to follow.

BIGSTEREO is proud to announce our brand new 7″ single series, and no better band to start out with than one of our favorites, Baby Monster. “She Comes Alive” is a treasure: synth washes come like waves, built around a soaring vocal that unveils brilliant production and the kind of pop nous that only comes around every so often.

BIG001 – Baby Monster – “She Comes Alive” 7″ Vinyl

Limited to 350 copies with no repress. $6 plus shipping & handling. ORDER HERE

What can we say, the man has FIIIINNEEE taste

MP3: Baby Monster: She Comes Alive

Observations

1.Taken from the Arthur Russell tribute album Electric Minds, out now
2. The Justice track floating around the web is so clearly a fake. Seriously, do you really think the band would relaunch with a substandard piece of filler. Never.
3. This track is disco twist.
4. Memory Tapes are still buzzing like a spinning top.
5. I love the weird and wonky vocal on this track.
6. I have never kissed a red head. FACT.
7. Aleks from Disco Dust is 30. Happy Dirty one boyo.


MP3: Pocketknife FT. Joe Worricker: Get Around To It

DRAG IS IN.

Welcome to 2010 and the new of Drag. Here’s a new cat with rave reviews across all corners of the web and something we’re enjoying immensely. Eskmo has already received the endorsement of almost genius Flying Lotus and it’s worth downloading his mix for Brainfeeder right away. Enjoy.

File under dark hip hop inspired electronica.

MP3: Esmko: Hypercolour

Snow | Les Fauves

Your guess is better than ours

This is a popjustice thing.

It’s Goldfrapp

Something new. Something borrowed. Something cool

Wonderful! Dropped into my inbox a few days ago AND NOBODY has yet posted. Awesome.

Encompassing all that Nite Jewel stand for with added deepness stolen from the world of disco but with a beautiful undertone of ambient. Perfect for late night evenings creating HTML godliness. Of the four tracks we’ve been sent - it’s tough to post just one, or even two as they’re all aces. Just about pipping it is:

Brusque Twins are from Montreal and go by the names of HH and DFJ. Metadata says: D George & H Hensman

MP3: Brusque Twins: Diptych

w a r p a i n t

The genuine levels of excitement building around this band are no surprise around here. Big fans of all things Warpaint. Originally on Manimal Vinyl - now on Rough Trade. Awesomeness

messing around too long

88 Days fave Jon Hillcock put us onto this lot The Sticks this morning, and as sometime Brighton residents, interest piqued. We think a little of Let’s Wrestle’s early days, and of Cold Pumas, and between the latter and this lot, suddenly Brighton’s music scene doesn’t seem as BIMM as it perhaps once did. IT IS RIGHT TO GIVE THANKS AND PRAISE for xxjfg, Cold Pumas, The Sticks and the Freebutt.

The Sticks have a record out now on Upset The Rhythm, a stunning 20 tracks in 37 minutes. Recommended purchase.

Welcome to 88 days in my veins. We usually write from London. Although sometimes we're caught between Brighton, Paris, Barcelona, Berlin and Great Malvern.

I want to stay as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can't see from the center. Kurt Vonnegut

If there is something that you love. Or something you hate. Or if we have posted a track that you'd rather us not feature please contact us.
