Medication is TONIGHT

Come one and all to the first Meme Movement event curated exclusively by digital singles label, The Snake.  The Snake has recently been taking some giant leaps by closing a deal and becoming one of the elite curators of the Free Music Archive headed by WFMU- this show will be the organizations live event debut.  Admission is free, free, free all night long.  Unfortunately the venue is 21+, so bring those fakes to 905 Atlantic Ave and let’s get rowdy.  We’ve got the doors set to open at 9pm and the first bands to go on at 945pm.  Come on out to support local acts Shapes and Il Abanico as well as Atlanta’s Bosco and Chicago’s The Canoes.  Check out more details at the facebook event.  Dingus

Future, Mirrior

Future, Mirror EP by Western Walks   (Canada)

When it’s nearing 1am, I find I am more compelled to write. I don’t know what it is about sleepless nights. They are kind of inspiring. So, when I find I am having trouble sleeping, I do my best to find the perfect soundtrack. I found it with Western Walks EP, Future, Mirror. I feel like as I continue listening, that I am listening to a modern version of the NeverEnding Story score. Its dreamy, synthy and vivid. Western Walks are a part of Young Latitudes, an up and coming record label based in Madrid. I have started to become more familiar with Young Latitudes and I love everything they put out. So, for your insomnia filled nights, have a go at Future, Mirror and don’t forget to check out Young Latitudes. Lovecat

Goodman

Goodman by Goodman   (Brooklyn, New York) *

I felt a lot like Monty Python’s version of the Spanish Inquisition when trying to count my favorite Mama Coco’s Funky Kitchen bands, unable to settle.  In the end, I think I’ll rest on a five way tie for favorite between:  Ghost Pal, Sons of an Illustrious Father, The Harmonica Lewinskies, The Great American Novel and now, Goodman (how could you even begin to pick sides?).  Goodman, like all great musicians, ties her personality, temper and life so deeply to his music that without him, there is nothing.  Goodman, like all great musicians, uses the past to propel himself into the future, innovating, twisting and breathing life back into a loved genre.  Goodman, like all great musicians, is a great musician.  Dingus

Occult Mixtape

Occult Mixtape by Compadre   (Stockholm, Sweden)

Feeling as it’s titled, the sacrificial sound of the Occult Mixtape is the perfect blend for any haunting, depressed night spent at a club in hell.  Without ever giving a reason why, the mixtape’s bipolar swing takes it through a variety of textures without every comfortably settling on one.  The arrangement is planned, invasive and shaking; it wraps the room and lulls it into hypnosis.  Then, vocals attack.  Dingus

Dirty Bird

Dirty Bird by Dirty Bird   (New York, New York)

New York City is filled, primarily, with to types of musician.  Those striving and pushing to take their field to the next level of creative innovation and those who attempt to revive traditional timbres with little success.  Dirty Bird is one of the few succeeding in the latter grouping.  The loving tones and graceful turn-arounds, as their page suggests, really do create cravings for warm apple pie topped with cold vanilla ice cream.  [Free Download]  Dingus
