Vampires will never hurt you as long as you run it (run it)

In the early halcyon days of Res, back when we were all pretty much cohabiting (and, on occasion, sleeping, more oft than not with one another…c’mon, folks, don’t front like you didn’t know), one of our r-’n-h (rhythm-’n'-hoover) heroes was Chris “Run It” Brown, if only because his ubiquitous virgin voyage into V103 hot trax territory was an Usher-biter that worked better shouted out to the brahs from across a semi-packed dance floor (MJQ or DSC, natch) , in regards to an at-that-moment-specific indie rock kitten shaking hips and stomping cigarettes into the ground with a fierceness, made more appealing and captivating by any/every given evening’s debauchery.

Given that I read Fader more than I read Res, for obvious reasons (A: they’re so freakin’ cool, B: see A, C=B-1…don’t get it? Whatever, I didn’t major in math, either…), it was only a matter of time before Brown’s new little jingle, “Wall To Wall”, crossed my path.

Dude. The Video. Has. Jadakiss.

And. Vampires.

does it sound just like everything else Chris has ever done? Well, yeah, but if you’ll excuse me miss like Columbo, since when has that sound of vintage bloops and a silken vocal delivery like chocolate sliding up and down a honeyed analog synth ever been a bad thing? It’s like if Grandpa Soul had lunch with Uncle Poptastic Dance Party.
…
…
…
AND THEN THEY BOTH ENDED UP IN A CASTLE WITH VAMPIRES.

Seriously, if they’d thought to call the boys in My Chem, vampires never woulda hurt ‘em. As it is, though, Brown’s freaky dancin’ (on the ceiling) apparently gives him +1 smooth moves, +1 finessing the ladies. If Kanye was here, he’d say something about one of the vamp-girls being his “black Anne Rice tonight”, and I’d say “(ven)True dat”.

In case you ever missed it the first time:

No, it isn’t “Yeah”. Yeah, it IS an ode to running it. Yes, that DOES excuse the blatant hoover recycling. No, I won’t let you hold a dollar.

Rihanna ft Chris Brown: “Umbrella” (Cinderella remix)

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

Let me remind you, while I’m at it that Rihanna’s “Umbrella” is the single best song this year-better than your rock-disco, better than your Simian, better than your Justice, and it’s utterly unremixable (and thus its’ beauty). It’s better than fucking Daft Punk making out with supermodels while Kevin Shields watches, and you just hate that you can’t do a damn thing about it (nor can you hit it). Christ Brown tried, and stepped in for a minute to ask for her hand. She undoubtedly got all cybodroogie on his ass and thus his need to hit on the vampire girls.

I’m not really sure what Chris has coming, but hopefully he won’t suddenly decide he needs to see if Samara from The Ring wants to catch a flick.

Dirty Disco Youth Works It!

Dirty Disco Youth!

You know somthing’s got to be good when
a) I post more than once in a day for it and
b) I forgo waiting until Remix Friday to post a remix.

Well I just heard Dirty Disco Youth’s newest remix of Digitalism - “Idealistic” and its just killer!

Its gonna hit the rest of the blogsphere soon, but he was totally cool with us sharing it with you, so here you go:

Digitalism - “Idealistic (Dirty Disco Youth’s Hapiness Is A Drug Remix)”

Be sure to use it next time you’re in need of a dance floor to explode into a mass of sweaty, heaving bodies with hands franticly waving in the air.

He’s also a spectacular producer and quite a solid deejay. I’ve used his “Shall We Dance” single in deejay sets more times than I can count, so you should as well:

Thunderheist: Stealing Thunder So You Move That Ass

thunderheist!

Thunderheist is a 3 piece outfit storming out of Canada to give us electrokrunk dance floor grooves that makes even arms-crossed hipsters can’t help but to stop frowning and move their feet. Part mashup, part synth, all slick vocals, Thunderheist is pure energy and is sure to get everyone moving across the dance floor. They’re set to release a 12 inch on Bigfoot Records (via the Smalltown DJs crew) and you can be sure it will deliver.

A bit late here, pardon the pun.

With the recent passing of Tony Wilson a few weeks ago, I’d like to shed some light on some lesser known Factory/Factory Benelux bands. Everyone knows New Order, Joy Division, Happy Mondays, and to a lesser extent, A Certain Ratio(who we here at Camp Res disagree on….or I should say rather, no one likes except for me.)

First up is Section 25, who took their name from a British mental health provision. This track is from their third album From the Hip from 1983. For my money, this is an obvious influence on early Detroit techno and Chicago house.

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

Section 25 - Looking From A Hilltop

Next up is The Wake out of Glasgow. Before they were indie darlings on Sarah Records, they put out several singles and two albums on Factory.
On Our Honeymoon was from a self-released single that intially got the attention of New Order’s manager, Rob Gretton.

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

The Wake - On Our Honeymoon

It’s hyper, minimal, and kinda tinny, but I love it nonetheless. They really start to shine on the 1982 album Harmony. Very Factory-sounding, warm, bouncing bass line pop perfection!

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

The Wake - Testament

Okay, time to lace up them skates ya’ll. Various New Order members, but most notably Bernard Sumner and Peter Hook, produced many great 12″s under the moniker of “Be Music”. The productions range from cold and arty to warm and organic, the latter of which I think they did fantastically.

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

52nd Street - Look Into My Eyes

Total paradise garage jam. Now that’s some shit to skate to.

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

Marcel King - Reach For Love

By the way, the Marcel King track is, according to the Happy Monday’s Shaun Ryder, the best single released on Factory. Stack up them trivia points!

And finally, here’s some weirdness from Stanton Miranda and Carter Burwell’s calloboration, Thick Pigeon. Carter Burwell later went on to score films, including all of the Coen Brothers films(Big Lebowski, Fargo, Raising Arizona, etc).

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

Marcel King - Thick Pigeon - Troglodytes

All these tracks and more have been re-released on LTM. They do tons of Factory, Factory Benelux, and Les Disques du Crepuscule reissues so get on it. I’ll have none of those “but it’s out of print, Mr. Jamz” excuses.

Buy LTM releases stateside here at Darla, or at their own site here.

For a Good Time, Call Glass Candy (Don’t Be Shy)

Glass Candy

Glass Candy is one of those bands that Shaun, rJamz and I totally fell in love with fully experiencing them live and in person. I’ll never be quite sure whether its Ida No’s infectious voice and bare-footed hypnotic flailing or Johnny Jewel’s haunting melodies that caused us all to writhe against the front of the stage in an almost possessed state. Odds are it is a combination of both and then some.

They’ve had some new demo’s floating around for a while and have gotten a good amount of blog loving, but we are at Resonator haven’t really chimed in. Well, until now, that is. The new material is so 70’s ice cream psychedelic jam it makes me want to strut around in rJamz’s skates acting a fool.

HEALTH Your Body

HEALTH

HEALTH comes to us from the west coast bearing dance grooves and noise tendencies in ways which both makes me want to jump up and down and stick un-mentionable parts of me into speakers.

First up: “Glitter Pills”. Not only does this track bring back memories of things we used to apply and then ingest, but its totally mix-tape material as well.

Cellophane

Hacks, yesterday, or maybe the day before that, or even possibly the day before that (who…the…hell…knows? The days, they blur) gave you a huge laundry list of ways you can spend your Labor Day Saturday if you, like he and I, are cornbreadin’ it up (aka in the southeastern United State.. And don’t look at me in that tone of voice).

One thing that he neglected to mention was an event that I tried to book his overachieving ass for, and couldn’t.

That’s right-I can’t even pull strings and get Hacks.

However, the remainder of what’s been put together, in part with us here at Res and in part with our good friends Wordsmiths Books, who have quickly carved out a brand as one of THE coolest little (and I use little figuratively, the place is huge) hangouts in the city of Atlanta, and who constantly strive to bring creative, forward-thinking entertainment (for free, nonetheless). Next Saturday, September 1st, the lot of us have assembled a little something that’s being called “futureTense”: from 7-8 P.M., a handful of Atlanta’s foremost bloggers are gather to discuss the future of media. This isn’t some sort of Grad School anally serious “flickr will change the world” panel, though-in fact, its’ purported purpose is to be the exact OPPOSITE of that.

The real draw, though, is that, following the panel at about 9 P.M., Res Mag favorites One Hand Loves The Other are going to be playing that gorgeous, intimate space. For Free.

To whet your appetite, and to remind you of exactly how damn GOOD the sweeping, orchestral electro-pop of One Hand Loves The Other is, take another nibble, in the form of “Rubbernecker Nightingale”, from the feast that is their self-titled debut album:

One Hand Loves The Other: Rubbernecker Nightingale

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

It’s that gorgeous repeated chorus of “Cellophane/Seraphim” that will grab you at first, but the end, when the sonics collapse a little at a time around vocalist Lou’s choirboy-like angelic statement of “i. don’t. know. how. to. be. what. you. need”, is what will light the candle in your heart.

Don’t miss. Next Saturday, Sept 1st. One Hand Loves The Other as part of futureTense at Wordsmiths Books. Granted, there’ll be no Deejay Hacks-but since when could Hacks sing like a Backstreet Boy kidnapped by Ellen Allien?
