Hen's Bells

It's A Fine Line - "Hen's Bells" [download at XLR8R]

One of the dudes from Black Strobe and another guy have been making noisy, industrial-sounding techno/house as It's A Fine Line for a while now.  I'm always interested to hear what these guys are doing.  This new one is sparse and slow-building, and maybe not much for the club, but an interesting journey nonetheless.

Acid Party House

My good friends the Moon Goons recently debuted their first track on their blog, "Acid Party House."  It's a bit spastic, but it bangs hard in all the right places, all while their particular sense of humor seeps through.  Definitely check it out and watch for more good things from them!

THERE'S FUN TO BE HAD

Many thanks to Eamon Harkin for coming up and rocking faces at Too Much Love this past Saturday. This was one of my definite all-time-favorite TML sets, as he played a great, great mix of new disco - all on vinyl! - plus threw a few curveballs in there, including the original "Star Guitar" (still vinyl!), Moby (!), and this...

Sons & Daughters - "Dance Me In (JD Twitch And The Truffle Club Optimo Mix)"

#1. I haven't heard this song in years.
#2. I had no idea there was an Optimo mix.
#3. Fucken sweet.

Be sure to check out all the great stuff Eamon is doing and, of course, the FUN party at Studio B. Stay tuned for his mix to turn up on the podcast, which will officially relaunch after New Year's. Cheers!

FEEL WHAT I FEEL, TAKE WHAT I TAKE

Saturday's Too Much Love was refreshing and incredible. I was pissed because the Disco Biscuits, quite possibly the worst band ever and very high on my list of mortal enemies, pushed our start time back an hour and a half, despite our having to close at 2 instead of 3. People filed in to First Ave only to stand around and watch loser hippie roadies meticulously and slowly pack up the Disco Biscuits' gear and stoner-heaven light show.

But we hit the ground running, and myself and my friends the Moon Goons and Jonathan Ackerman & Scott Butters fucking rocked the faces off of more than 1,000 kids. It was, like I said, incredible.

The highlight of the night was closing my set with Shinichi Osawa's cover of the Chemical Brothers' "Star Guitar". I never would have thought that the song needed a cover, or that a cover could actually improve on the original, which was sort of unremarkable to begin with (outside of the Gondry directed video). But hearing that track on a huge system with all those people dancing was some serious next-level, raver epiphanie kind of shit. I highly recommend it.

And I'm sure there are already a number of blogs that did this already - but what the hell, for comparison...
