Björk – Voltaic Trailer on Vimeo.

Bjork’s Voltaic is in stores now via Nonesuch Records in the U.S. (One Little Indian in the UK, and Universal worldwide.)  The Voltaic DVD contains highlights of Björk’s visually dazzling Volta tour, full of on-your-feet moments, lmed in Paris and Reykjavik. Deluxe editions of Voltaic also include a CD of remixes of Volta album tracks by such fellow travelers as Spank Rock, Simian Mobile Disco, Ratatat and Modeselektor, plus a DVD of Volta video clips, including Michel Gondry’s take on “Declare Independence,” set in a drab factory, that manages to reach a colorful, hopeful conclusion – a revolution meant to be televised.

I and Love and You by The Avett Brothers
Posted on 06.30.09 by Chris @ 4:00 pm

Who: The Avett Brothers from North Carolina.

What: Just wanted to post something before I ran out the door.  Been razzled since doing corporate taxes all last night and today.  But now I can relax, heading downtown to catch a Jays game with some good friends.

This piano ballad is The Avett Brothers first time on the filter, making me think I’ve been missing them forever.  Look for this song and others on their forthcoming album due out on Columbia on Sept. 29th, 2009

Song: I and Love and You (from Spinner).

Blogspot (Nick Seeley remix) by Paul and the Patients
Posted on 06.29.09 by Chris @ 1:34 pm

Who: Paul and the Patients from Brooklyn.

What: Since we last wrote about this band in April, Blogspot has had some serious staying power in my musical playlists.  Now, I get the option of the original, and the new Nick Seeley remix which seems to have lightened the the darker original, making a super danceable summer banger.  They’re still doing local shows in NY, hopefully further outside their hometown soon.   Check out their EP (To The Lions), most of which seems to be up on their myspace.

Song: Blogspot (Nick Seeley remix).
