I’m pretty sure Merriweather Post Pavilion will be in a lot of peoples top albums for 09′. Continuing the trend of rapping over samples from the latest hip(ster) band for internet fame we have 607‘s take on Taste.
Animal Collective ft. 607 – Taste (Remix)
Phoenix‘s latest, “Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix”, is a pretty damn stellar pop album. It’s set for release, May 25th. This is a tight new wave/disco/pet shop boys-ish reworking of 1901 from Mother Father. You can download the original for free from Phoenix’s website!
Phoenix – 1901 (M_F Nu Wave rmx)
Fan Death has also done a great remix of this Datarock track.
Datarock – Give It Up (Kissy Sell Remix)
Anorak of the french house posse, Valerie is a WC fave. French house / disco pop. Did you know, in British slang an anorak is a person, typically a man, who is an enthusiast interested in information regarded as boring or unfathomable by the rest of the population.
Anorak – Nightdrive With You (Pomomofo Remix)
Pegase is the newest and youngest member of Valerie. If this is the demo version, imagine how good the final version will sound. Very excited to hear more from Pegase!

Peaches is Ripe
2009 is going to be the year of Peaches.
Our beloved and sometimes vulgar Canadian jewel is set to release her new album, “I Feel Cream”, May 5th.
The album features production work on it from Soulwax, Simian Mobile Disco and Drums of Death.
Pretty much the hottest ticket in town right now, is her May 31st show here in Vancouver. You would be a complete idiot to miss this show. You should buy your ticket now because shit is going to hit the fan MAY 5TH.
Don’t believe me…
Peaches – Talk To Me (Produced by Soulwax)

A Day In Paris

A day in Paris according to Sofia Coppola (music by Brigitte Bardot singing “Moi Je Joue”).
If you like the idea of being princess for a day watch “Life Without Zoe”, which Sofia wrote for her father to direct when she was still a teen.
