Friday Friendlies
OMG F.R.I.D.A.Y.
Here you go friends… something for you to dance around to while you get all fancy to go out!
Goldfrapp – Rocket (Penguin Remix)
If you’re in the middle of all the madness that is Vancouver, come down to NO MORE STRANGERS this Saturday at a newish venue they call New Brandiz at 122 East Hastings! I’m bringing candy and there might be some Three-Card Monte.
It’s also Hunk The Drunk’s big sweet 16(ish) birthday party and we’re gonna dress him up like Little Orphan Annie! Bring some lollipops and he’ll tap dance.
Fried Day
Soooo apparently deep fried Coke is like an actual thing. I would try this for sure, but that’s not saying much since I would probably eat my own arm if it were deep fried.
The weekend is back and I’ve got your Friday song! Oh man this is a good one… especially at about the 3 minute mark. Grab a deep fried soft drink and get loose!

Winnie deejay Flowers is playing backroom songs at Shine in Vancouver with Eric Zee this Saturday! There will be candies and music you forgot you loved.
Some disco you must hear… I hesitate to post the full track since music this rad needs to be fully supported so more will be made.

Stars And Muscles
So right now I’m surrounded by cardboard boxes filled with my possessions. Yes, that’s right… I’m smack in the middle of moving.
Sorting through some of my belongings, I’ve discovered things that I don’t even remotely remember having: a Storm Trooper watch, pictures of people I don’t know from the 60s, and bullets for a machine gun. Yeah I know, I’m so weird.
Holy crap moving blows. But this Stars & Muscles Mix from DJ Pump and Wax Romeo are making things go smoother.
Seriously DOWNLOAD IT HERE.

Bobby Blanco & Miki Moto – 3AM
Just Wait
This track doesn’t really get going until about a minute twenty… and the lead in is a total fake out. But it’s a nice balance I guess between harder, heavily filtered sounds and those softer synths and piano.
Munk – Back Down (Cut Copy Jackmaster Remix)
Ummmmmm don’t forget to add Winnie on Twitter! Unless of course you’re a spambot. Or a space vampire.

Well Known Pleasures
When I think of Texas, I think of cowboys and Tex-Mex cuisine and SXSW.
The last thing that comes to mind is Italian inspired disco house.
Vega is Alan Palomo. Hailing from Austin, his tracks are dreamy like Australian synth-pop and dancey like French house. He’s also behind the magical indie pop band Neon Indian (Deadbeat Summer is definitely one of my fave jams this year, despite the MGMT comparisons).
This song here is off Vega’s Well Known Pleasures EP.
Vancouverites get a chance to see Vega live in August along with U-Tern and Fedchuk.
Aya
I used to buy almost any record that was released off the Naked Music label.
Aya’s debut single in 2004 was remixed by Jay Denes aka Blue Six. Oh man is it ever good.
The track is so nicely layered and still feels organic while still keeping that electronic esthetic. <—– hahaha I don’t even know what that means.
Whatever, it’s a rad summer song so get an ice cold drink and have a listen.
BTW this is one of my really janky vinyl rips from waaaaaay back when I didn’t know that bit rate was an actual thing I needed to know. If you have a better quality version sans the clicks and pops, please share!
