MEMORY TAPES .

Spaceland, 1717 Silver Lake Blvd, Los Angeles, CA


Memory Tapes Listen Watch More than a few of these singles came from Philadelphia's Dayve Hawk in the guise of either Memory Cassette, Weird Tapes, or Memory Tapes. To this point, he'd served as something of a microcosm for this sound, which has created intriguingly hazy, wistful but beat-informed one-offs and EPs, but nothing weighty enough to get it past “something we did that one summer,” as if it were a road trip or ill-fated romance recalled years later. That was before Seek Magic, a record of achingly gorgeous dance-pop that captures both the joy of nostalgia and the melancholic sense that we're grasping for good times increasingly out of reach. Initially, Seek Magic's power derives from an intensely personalized ability to unlock hidden chambers in our memory banks. The half-submerged guitars that introduce “Swimming Field” suggest this is as a soundtrack for a restless evening, but between its F-G chord progression and aqueous thumb-piano and panflute synths, I'm reminded

Arguably crafting the countries boldest hiphop release to date, Phrase's Clockwork has smashed genres and brought "rap" as an artform closer to the fraternity of Australia's rock-driven industry. Phrase never ceases to amaze when it comes to a collaboration. Opting to avoid the cliche concept of "I'm going to do a track with every rapper I know", Phrase has consistently broken the mold through his collabrations with artists such as Kram (Spiderbait), Wendy Matthews, Ian Kenny (Karnivool/Birds of Tokyo) & Jackson Jackson. Phrase is more than just a lyricist. He is a musician.

Michael Morph has been busy readying his much-anticipated album for Pure Mint, and here is the leadoff single Go Cat Go!.

Built around a mirth-making robotic voice intoning the familiar lyric from rock 'n' roll standard, 'Blue Suede Shoes', this catchy fidgety electro cut almost recalls Daft Punk in its skilful use of a simple-yet-deadly computerised vocal. With plenty of freaky noises and an absurdly infectious pitching bassline to satisfy the headz, this is a welcome return to the fray from somebody tipped by all the dance press as a DJ/producer to watch.

Speakeasy Watch: Jesse Malin Converts Pizza Shop Into Restau Eater
Syndicated
That was fast. Just one day after hearing the rumors that Jesse Malin would be opening a new space with a piano, Urban Daddy breaks the news that the East Village bar baron has converted the former Pizza Shop into an unnamed restaurant and bar. According to the Daddy, the place is now decorated with "exposed brick, tufted black leather banquettes" and "an old chandelier" and will serve burgers, oysters and booze. The perfect menu! It opens tonight, but there is no word if Cabin Down Below patrons will be able to use the internal stair case again. For Cabin's door staff sake, let's hope the answer is yes.

Even when they may seem quaint. Regardless of such notes the guitar of Michael Lucio Stenbach displays a keen talent for the ears. They open sonic vistas that display the common themes of this folk form of expression to power and reverence for the hopes and dreams of individuals. There is a pl

Friday 02.26.10: MEMORY TAPES Spaceland
Syndicated
Memory Tapes || Listen || Watch More than a few of these singles came from Philadelphia’s Dayve Hawk in the guise of either Memory Cassette, Weird Tapes, or Memory Tapes. To this point, he’d served as something of a microcosm for this sound, which has created intriguingly hazy, wistful but beat-informed one-offs and EPs, but nothing weighty enough to get it past “something we did that one summer,” as if it were a road trip or ill-fated romance recalled years later. That was before Seek Magic, a record of achingly gorgeous dance-pop that captures both the joy of nostalgia and the melancholic sense that we’re grasping for good times increasingly out of reach. Initially, Seek Magic’s power derives from an intensely personalized ability to unlock hidden chambers in our memory banks. The half-submerged guitars that introduce “Swimming Field” suggest this is as a soundtrack for a restless evening, but between its F-G chord progression and aqueous thumb-piano and panfl
