Ps I Love You – Facelove

posted by Tristan Orchard

Back in Vancouver for a few days now. I have almost recovered. Slept for 12hours last night. Think i’m getting sick. I miss Austin, drinking all day, sleeping little and most of all “being shitty” which we decided the upside down peace sign is the international symbol for. Spread the good word.

Apologies to anyone who wasn’t at SXSW that I pissed off with my drunk tweets.  Thank god, I had my camera and my twitter account or I would have no idea what happened.

Without further adoo-doo.

Had to jump the fence to get backstage and then sneak past security to hang off the scaffolding backstage for Odd Future (L.A.).  Some girls started fighting next to me for position and were pulling each others hair.  Diddy showed up and was hanging out backstage.  I swear he looked at me hanging of the scaffolding like a douche with my camera and gave me a lil wink, like, “Never give up kid”. Awesome. Tried to follow him to find the Kanye West penthouse party but I swear he disappeared into thin air. Might of been a hologram.

XO-T

Everyone loves Diamond Rings! Pitchfork loves him! Robyn loves him! The UK loves him! He even has a make up sponsor!

I caught John (aka Diamond Rings) at the end of a long day. I was his last interview, so I was hoping I would catch him a little looser than his usual serious self. He was his sober self, but so earnest! It’s easy to see why everyone loves him so much.

Diamond Rings on the interview show

Diamond Rings “All Yr Songs” (Go Green remix)

Diamond Rings “You Oughta Know” John shared with me that Alanis Morissette‘s album “Jagged Little Pill” was written about “Uncle Joey” from Full House. That would be Dave Coulier NOT “Uncle Jesse” aka the ultra cool John Stamos. Yep, kind changes how you look at the record if you imagine her “going down on “Uncle Joey” from Full House in a theatre.”

Diamond Rings and his buds PS I Love You are at the Biltmore this Friday. See you there!

Diamond Rings – On Our Own

PS I Love You – Butterflies & Boners

PS I Love You & Diamond Rings – Leftovers

Here are our faves of 2010. IT WAS A GOOD YEAR ya?

Let us know yrs / wut we missed…

20.Crystal Castles “Crystal Castles II”

Still love you Crystie Castles.

Crystal Castles – Baptism

19. Four Tet “There is Love Inside You”

Bleep beep herp derp. For what ever reason I always link this album with the Caribou album. They came out around the same time and both artists have both been ahead of their time coming perfectly into fruition in 2010.  The prefect blend of lofi organic samples and dance’y beats

Four Tet – Sing

18. Javelin “No Mas”

Kinda reminds me of The Avalanches but way less annoying, maybe a dash of early cut copy too and some dj shadow. It makes me feel like im eating cotton candy.
Javelin – Vibrationz

17. How To Dress Well “Love Remains”

“Love Remains” sounds like it was recorded in the middle of the night underneath the bed to not wake sleeping parents upstairs.  Faint Whisper’y threads of 90′s rnb-esque hooks over lofi riddims.
How To Dress Well – Mr. By & By

16. Drums (self titled)

Surfy / maybe a little bit of the Cure / the new romantics kinda sound.  Drums opened for Surfer Blood at the Bilty and were by far the better act + the lead singers dancing is pretty great.

Drums – Let’s Go Surfing

15. Earl Sweatshirt “EARL”

Free Earl.  16 year old from Cali. His Mom sent him off to boarding school after she heard this.

Earl Sweatshirt – Couch Featuring Ace Creator

14. Diamond Rings “Special Affections”

Epic pop anthems crafted on garage band.
Diamond Rings – Something Else

13. Caribou “Swim”

This album feels like it is tapping into old school house / rave music and makes me want to lose my shit.
Caribou – Odessa

12. Yeasayer “Odd Blood”

This was definately one of the songs of the year and one of those albums people who think about music too much start to hate after a while for being too poppy / accessible.

Yeasayer – Ambling Alp

11. El Guincho “Pop Negro”

Can’t get enough of this Spanish isht. Oh and the music video… thank you for that.

El Guincho – Bombay

10. Salem “King Night”

Rape Gaze / witch house #prayforjack. Lets get frickin dark.

Salem – King Night

9 Kanye “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy”

Kanye I forgive you for being a douchebag.

Kanye West – Lost In The World (feat. Bon Iver)

8. Harlem “Hippies”

Thissss

Harlem – Tila And I

7.Surfer Blood “Astrocoast”

Yeah it’s super poppy and most people are over it because it came out at the start of the year or something. I say it rules. There was a reason it was one of the most anticipated albums of 2009 and it didn’t let down.

Surfer Blood – Harmonix

6. PS I love You “Meet Me At The Muster Station”

From Kingston Ontario. Stadium sized hooks / rock anthems.

PS I Love You – Facelove

5. Black Keys “Brothers”

There was a reason why Black Keys tickets were being scalped for $200 during their last visit to town and this is it.

Black Keys – Next Girl

4. Twin Shadow “Forget”

This album is pure sex.  A little splash of Morissey / The Cure and some serious hits.

Twin Shadow – When Were Dancing

3. Arcade Fire “The Suburbs”

The Arcade Fires killed it this year.  Their live show might be one of the best shows ive ever seen. This “concept” album is epic, full of solid hits that flow so seamlessly into one another.

Arcade Fire – Modern Man

2. LCD Soundsystem “This Is Really Happening”

Murph bro. I love you. Pls do not let this be the last Lcd Album. You never let me down. Yr like a role model and stuff.  When ever I played this album out djing pretty much every time some1 would come and ask what it was. Oh and not to nerd out but the mixing on this album is really bold and amazing too. It pretty much deserves it’s own award. The way that synth comes in on “Dance YrSelf Clean” a minute and a half in or whatever it is. omigowd. I could go on….

Lcd Soundsystem – You Wanted A Hit

1. Best Coast – “Crazy For You”

Bethanies, sometimes people criticize your music and say it sounds real needy, all your songs are about being unhappy without boys ect ect. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with being needy. Feminsts and uptight a-holes who are uncomfortable with weakness r teh worst and are the actual weak ones. Sometimes I feel needy, then I play this album and feel better.

Best Coast – Bratty B

We really do.

Maybe if we beg hard enough they will come to Vancouver….!

My life has a vacancy that this grungey azz shizz needs to fill.  From Kingston ONT.

PS I Love You – Butterflies and Boners

Crushing hard on this video and band, PS I Love You.Video by http://colinmedley.com/

Matt and Kim was sold out! Someone wasn’t fast enough on their media rsvping.  Went down the street to check out The Montreal Nintendo Orchestra an experimental act that makes music with two Nintendo DS units and a wack of pedals. It was interesting but def no Matt and Kim.  Made me feel like I had drank some of the magic koolaid, which I’m sure is the intention.

Montreal Nintendo orchestra video.

We then hit up Jay Reatard who I didn’t know much about.  I was very impressed, just the right mix of metal, punk and pop.  The venue, La Sala Rosa was pretty awesome, It didn’t look like a venue from the outside and there’s a Mexican restaurant that we had some pops at below it on the second floor. The kids were going nuts.

Jay Reatard – See Saw

We then headed back to Matt and Kim and managed to walk in and catch the last half of their set! I had a hard time keeping my lens from fogging up, people were losing it and Matt & Kim were cute in their own genuine Matt and Kim way.

Ended up at a reggae night and managed to clear the dance floor.  then went for pooh-teen. Awesome!

We interviewed the D’Urbervilles today a very very wicked Toronto band.  I managed not to throw up or sweat too much as the hangover was in effect.

Fever Ray, tonight.

Fever Ray – If I Had A Heart (Fuck Buttons Remix)

PS, how rad are these guys and this Joy Division inspired video. Very stoked to see them tomorrow!
