Taking A Break

noreply@blogger.com (stacy) — Fri, 23 Feb 2007 05:45:00 +0000

I'll be taking a break for a while. Posting intermitenly as time permits. Between my job, grad school, and life's current circumstances time is being consumed quickly. I figured I do my last post for a while in tribute to my dad who passed away February 6th 2007. I wanted to post some songs he would like to hear. Take time to check out American Athlete for regular song postings and lots of good stuff. Check in every so often and hopefully in a month or two I will be back in action. Take Care.

As Posted on American Athlete:

One of the most anticipated albums of 2007 has to be the new 2020 Vision released LP, Night Vision from Belgium's Spirit Catcher. Therefore you can only imagine how excited I was when I got my hands on a promo copy of the album. At first glance I noticed that this album is more like a compilation of Spirit Catcher's greatest work combined with some fresh new material, including classics like "Space Crash", "Voodoo Knight", "Roller Coaster", and "Sweet Deal", along with new tracks "Night Vision", "Motown Spring", and "Harmonize". The standout track in my opinion is the cosmic driven "Hidden Memories", which is a seven minute galactic journey that can definately keep the star voyager moving. Overall, I think that this is one of the best release's so far this year, as you get many classic Spirit Catcher cuts, while getting a taste of the future. I believe this LP is going to be released in March, however if you can't wait that long, I would reccommend buying the self-titled single, I know I did.

Spirit Catcher - Roller Coaster
Spirit Catcher - Time Emulator

my morning wake up call

I'll keep this short. I walked out side to go to work this morning and turned on the car, forgetting what cd and what volume I left in the car last night. Needless to say, below is what woke me up at 7:50 this morning on my way to work:

The Megatrons - Rock The Planet
Lisa-Lisa & Cult Jam, with Full Force - I Wonder If I Take You Home (extended version)
Laid Back - White Horse

Two things I like about New Years
1. Top Years Release List
2. New Albums for Next Year

Check out these top list:
T A P E
Silence is a Rhythm Too
Soviet Panda (I like his 2006 compilations list.)
And of course Pitchfork Media has their massive lists of best and worst which is worth the reading.

And some new albums to look forward to in the new year:
!!! - Myth Takes - March 4, 2007, here are some tracks:

!!! - Bend of Beethoven
!!! - All My Heros Are Weirdos
!!! - A New Name

LCD Soundsystem - Sounds of Silver

I took my ipod in to get fixed last weekend. It's been busted up for about 3 months now and I finally got around to taking it in. I told the guy that I wanted to not reset the ipod because I have a ton of tracks on there that aren't on my computer. The guy behind the counter said he fixed it and handed it back to me. So I get home and all, 1400 songs, are gone. I've spent the last week uploading. I just finised uploading Daft Punk Discovery album. And have reached 721 songs. I'm half way there. And trying not to get angry. AHHH.

Koop - Koop Island Blues

Giving you all I got

I recently launched a record label called Beat Freeze Records which consists of two artists, myself - TJ Gorton, and the Future Force, which consists of me and a long time friend and bandmate Noah Clark. The first 12-inch single off of Beat Freeze is Future Force's Night Pony 12". This single includes the orginal version of "Night Pony", which is a cosmic dance gem that is driven by low-end percussion and high energy synths, along with three remixes from some amazing producer’s including Toby Tobias, Rune Lindbæk, and Alex Costa.

The Future Force are already planning to release at least two more records in the coming year in She tasted like a White Russian 12", and Galaxy Lovers/Gunship to Galactica 12".

You can purchase Future Force's Night Pony at these online locations:

Phonica Records
Juno Records

Not much to say today. I am going to go see James Murphy and Juan Maclean DJ tonight at the Mezzanine in San Francisco. Should be good. But in the meantime, I've been listening to Arthur Russell way way way too much. Never enough though. I love "This is How We Walk on The Moon" and because I love tigers, "My Tiger, My Timing" is provided for you.

My ipod broke. Such a damn disappointment. Because of this I have become a pack rat and saved all my downloaded songs on my computer. At this point the folders for the rapture, erlend oye, arthur russell, tv on the radio, and prince are out of control. But heres a little of what Ive got:

Prince - Raspberry Beret 12in version
Erlend Oye - Poor Leno (Silicone Soul Hypno House Dub/ There is a Light That Never Goes Out)
Arthur Russell - Sketch for Face of Helen
Tv on the Radio - Blues from Down Here

its my birthday...

I put my birthdate into one of those programs that give you back tons of information and so forth about the year you were born. The best part was the music I got back:

"Back in 1983, the popular songs were: “All Night Long” performed by Lionel Richie; “Beat It” performed by Michael Jackson; “Billy Jean” sung by Michael Jackson; and “Down Under” by Men At Work. Also topping the charts: “Every Breath You Take” by The Police; “Islands in the Stream” by Rogers & Parton; “Lets Dance” by David Bowie; and the popular “What A Feeling” by Irene Cara."

I did my best to find these "popular" tracks. These are the only three I could find online today.

Men At Work - Down Under

David Bowie - Lets Dance

Irene Cara - What A Feeling

playing catch up...

My appoligies, I didn't realize it has been nearly two weeks since I have posted anything here. In an attempt to justify myself let me say its been a busy two weeks. I got a new dog a week ago which you can see pictures of at My Journal. I also started grad school last Thursday which needless to say, it takes a bit of adjusting to but is exciting none the less. Aside from the new additions to life, the negative for the week has been my ipod breaking - talk about a disaster.

But music...aside from listening to Erlend Oye and Junior Boys way too much this past week, I got my hands on the Arthur Russell DFA remix stuff. Definitly one of my most anticipated releases. And from what I've heard I do believe it's going to be good.

Anyways, I don't have Erlend Oye, Junior Boys, or Arthur Russell to post, I believe I've posted it all before. F0r today I have something a little different, some italo disco for its fans -

S.c.o.r.t.a. - Pertini Dance

You all own these. I just wanted to let the world know I own them too. And also to show you this picture I found of him. Its just that bad for someone who can make music so good.

I love this song. Honestly, I don’t know much about him or what he does or has created. But I do know that when I hear this song I want to dance like crazy. It’s just that good. Perhaps if anyone else has something on him, they could let me know, give me an opinion, share what information they’ve got. I would appreciate it. In the mean time, download and dance:

I haven’t gathered a complete feeling for these guys. I enjoyed Morgan Geist Most of All featuring Jeremy Greenspan. And I have to say I like the vocials. But other than that I’m not sure if Junior Boys are something worth sticking to, a guilty pleasure, or nothing at all. I do however think their song The Equalizer is worth listening to, and occasional I find myself hitting the repeat button.

Anyways, each to there own. Here are a few to help futher ones decision:

Junior Boys The Equalizer

Junior Boys The Equalizer(Morgan Geist Remix)

Junior Boys In the Morning (Alex Smoke Remix)

Junior Boys In the Morning

If interested, Junior Boys are playing at Bottom of the Hill in San Francisco on September 26. Website and Myspace
