BLING AND BEATNIKS: 06/24/10

Category: ,

Due to some complications, we have a bit of a substitution for this week's BLING AND BEATNIKS. Instead of giving you a mix of the best mashups/remixes, we are just going to introduce you to a mashup master duo. Slaptop is made of Luke Frisher and Evan Baker. Originally from the Bay Area, these dudes have been making music together in Ohio for year. You can download Slaptop's two albums, Stone Soup and Trail Spice, costfree at their site and listen to their exceptional album opener "Rockstar" below. Hope you enjoy.

HOWL: Tokyo Police Club

Category: , ,

I admit I've been a bit MIA recently. I apologize, but I assure you that you neednt worry anymore, because the Gins is back. It is thus only appropriate that my first post feature something out of this world good. And I must say Tokyo Police Club's new album, Champs, is pretty super(galactic). Like a good wine, these dudes have aged excellently. A long way from the teenage power-chord angst that dominated A Lesson In Crime, Champs highlights TPC's lyrical and musical growth. Finally, it seems like these guys are fully comfortable in their own skins. As a result, I can't stress it enough - Champs is worth a long long listen! and definitely a purchase! Catch Tokyo Police Club on tour this summer and below, a version of "Wait Up (Boots of Danger)" remixed by tourmates Passion Pit.

BEATNIKS AND VIDS: Broken Social Scene Movie

Category: ,


Is Broken Social Scene's next move a movie? This clip recenty released by the band itself depicts a guy-gets-the-girl-and-girl-wants-to-see-Broken-Social-Scene plot. The name is borrowed from the last work about the band, a book by Stuart Berman titled, "This Book is Broken". The book chronicled the band's progress and lives of its members but the movie doesn't seem to have as much to do with the actual band. What will it become? Watch the clip at the official site for the video:

Also announced by the band, their upcoming tour will feature the likes of the Sea and Cake, Here we Go Magic and others. Check out the dates for the movie and the upcoming tour with supporting bands after the jump.
