Cults, Rosebuds, Hood Internet
Listened to The Asteroids Galaxy Tour and Cults on Friday.
Stumbled upon this awesome remix: Das Racist x Cults - Go Hahahaha
Which led to learning about The Hood Internet- awesome remixes of indie x rap

Which then led to me discovering The Rosebuds
New Order, Oakland 2005
Setlist.fm is a repository of setlists submitted by fans. Pretty cool site to bring back memories of your favorite shows. Here's the set list from my favorite band New Order when I saw them with Jerry and Karma in Oakland. The Chemical Brothers opened for them- awesome show. I remember Bernard Sumner seemed defeated to sing Blue Monday at the very end. He layed on the ground for most of it.
Mukagee rocks
My Street Fighter buddy, Mzao is the lead singer of an awesome up-and-coming metal band: Mukagee. It still amazes me how big of a voice comes from such a super nice (and shy) guy! I've known him for over a year now, playing SF4 online about a few+ times a week- and even went to his house in the Bay Area to play in person.
Buy their music on itunes!
AudioDose Crew, HI LIFE SOUND SYSTEM
AudioDose crew
Rap show at the croc. Too tired to stay for Hieroglyphics, but Hi Life was awesome.
Hi Life Sound System
Dayton 240W Sub Amp + Clark Synthesis TST209 = omg
The old Yamaha amp couldn't handle driving the two transducers at 4ohm anymore- it just clicked off when any signal starts to feed the shakers. It's ok though- it was only a matter of time till I wanted a proper amp to drive them. What a huge difference the Dayton Audio SA240-B 240W makes. I had to wire the transducers in series in order to get them to work (great tech support from parts-express)- no more L/R effects- L/R was too subtle to make the distinction anyway since they were both mounted close together.
The chair is now pretty much a body massage chair now. Songs with thumping bass feels like a punch to the kidneys. Awesome to sit it in it and let the music wash over me. Have yet to try it with a driving game, but I'm sure it's just as amazing.
Crying Spell, Good Hurt
The Crying Spell were good- sounded better live than their studio album. Derivative, but enjoyable 'New Wave' sound. The best songs of the night were cover songs. Crying Spell covered Moving in Stereo, How Soon is Now, and The Good Hurt covered Valerie and Bizarre Love Triangle. The crowd turned college frat-house once Good Hurt came on. Good Hurt sounded better on the album- Tramanh and I left before they played In Her Name.
Fascination Movement, Sports
Great music at Chop Suey tonight- new wave pop 80s revival with variety.
My favorite band of the night: Fascination Movement. They sound like a mix of New Order, The Smiths, and Depeche Mode.
Pegasus Dream
araabMUZIK
is fucking awesome. More (mostly) instrumental hip hop music. Everything, including his freestyle MPC-ing sounds great but I could do without the constant "you're now listening to araabmuzik" sample.
and he does a better Skrillex than Skrillex
Found out I was out of town when he came to Seattle last month
