memory tapes - seek magic

do your ears a favor.
seek magic is the fantastic debut studio record from american chillwave artist memory tapes. despite a mass of indie electronica artists struggling to discover their own unique voice, memory tapes does just that and makes it seem like child's play. seek magic is one of the greatest albums i have ever had the pleasure of listening to and i still go back to it regularly.
memory tapes is one of multiple aliases of dayve hawk. originally the frontman of rock band hail social, hawk went on to record a slew of eps and remixes under the monikers memory cassette and weird tapes before releasing seek magic.
seek magic is a rare gem of an album that incorporates a plethora of genres to create something that is both fresh and timeless. hawk's soft vocals sing cryptically poetic lyrics over a bed of dance beats, angst-fueled guitars, and dreamy lo-fi noise. and let's face it, how many albums can you think of that sample a dribbling basketball on one of the tracks? not too many, i'd imagine! seek magic is an absolute must-have and a true testament that the indie music scene is very much still alive. the entire record is perfection from start to finish but my personal favorites are "green knight," "stop talking," and "graphics." you should know what to do by now. hop to it!

neon indian - psychic chasms

do your ears a favor.
psychic chasms is the critically-acclaimed debut album from american chillwave band neon indian. although an lp with the same name was released half a year prior, the record itself features those same few tracks with a slew of others. i still remember when psychic chasms first came out and how it basically ignited a whole new subgenre and thus paved the way for other chillwave artists.
neon indian is composed of alan palomo, jason faries, lars larsen, and leanne macomber. palomo previously worked on other musical projects under the aliases of ghosthustler and vega, although his work with neon indian is by far his most impressive.
psychic chasms sounds like an epic trip on the perfect concoction of drugs. filtered vocals swirl over retro video game synthesizers, digital noises, and lo-fi electronic beats. the hooks are plentiful, the production is rich, and the lyrics are surprisingly good. "6669 (i don't know if you know,)" "should have taken acid with you," and "mind, drips" are my personal favorite tracks, but i digress; psychic chasms is one of my favorite albums of all time and warrants a download from anyone with an appreciation for solid electronica music. i also included a few of my favorite neon indian remixes.
01. (am)
02. deadbeat summer

heartsrevolution - revolvers

do your ears a favor.
revolvers is a custom mixtape highlighting some of the best songs of american electronica duo heartsrevolution. though they have released a slew of eps over the last five years, they are very difficult to come across. luckily, their debut album ride or die is slated for release later this year. in the meantime, check out this mixtape if you like electronica music at all!
heartsrevolution is comprised of leyla "lo" safai and ben pollock, though terry "prince terry" campbell stands in as drummer for live events. the duo have been placed on several lists geared towards innovative artists to watch out for and enjoy a strong underground fan base.

01. digital suicide (swyst)
02. ultraviolence
03. switchblade

for your consideration

both my babies has been up for about a month and a half now and i couldn't be more pleased with it! i have a lot of friends to thank for pushing me to take a tiny corner of the internet for myself. in hindsight, running a blog is more work than i originally had imagined! now i understand why so many blogs remain abandoned and covered in metaphorical cobwebs.
i initially started both my babies as a place to share some of my favorite music, games, and clips with others. in reality, it truly is a viable source of social networking since i quit facebook and i am grateful to all who take the time of day to check out my blog and read my ramblings. (or if you're just here strictly for the downloads, that's ace, too!)
as a reminder, downloading on both my babies is easy breezy. with each record i post, i include a hyperlink below the album art and again below the tracklist. i always host my files on mediafire and break the tracks into individual files for those who prefer to pick and choose songs. the music videos act as quick samplers.
games also feature hyperlinks at the top and bottom of the post. though some are ready-to-go computer games, others are rom files which require an emulator. (i posted the one i use on both my babies.) and of course i will upload other emulators if necessary.
to reiterate, i can't thank you enough for baring with me and i hope you enjoy the blog! the labels on the right margin are extremely useful for navigating and trying out everything that both my babies has to offer! keep browsing and growing!

this week on tv #6

- on the season premiere of 2 broke girls, sassy and street-smart max takes spoiled caroline under her wing at a local diner after a fall from grace. though radically different, together they just may have what it takes to achieve their dreams. the writing is surprisingly witty and many of the jokes come out sounding fresh.
- the girls get makeovers on america's next top model and some of them take it better than others. following a confusing photo shoot in which the models must embody a single word that defines them best, sheena is sent home for some reason.
- sterling's inane bullshit leads to trouble on archer and his pirate crew crumbles to mutiny. after foiling numerous escape plans, he winds up trapped in the island dungeon along with ray and lana.
- the round table discusses a variety of cheeky topics on chelsea lately ranging from the horrors of popular reality television and rosie o'donnell's love life. chuy also teaches the crew how to dance ballet beautifully.
- on the season premiere of dexter, a grizzly roadside murder leaves the team no leads other than a possible psuedo-religious motive. meanwhile, dexter attends his high school reunion to settle the score with the prom king who murdered his wife.
- on the season premiere of fringe, the universe as we know it appears to be coming apart at the seams, with both sides working together for the greater good of everyone. lincoln lee joins the team to help solve the case of a mysterious shapeshifter.
- on the season finale of hell's kitchen, the final four face off in the most intense challenge of their lives. at the end of a grueling dinner service with help from past contestants, underdog paul comes out on top and wins it all.
- the gang goes to the jersey shore for vacation on it's always sunny in philadelphia. charlie hangs out on the beach all day with the waitress, frank and mac become guidos and binge on rum ham, and dennis and dee have a miserable time.
- the designers are split into two teams of four on project runway for a menswear-inspired challenge. faced with the task of creating an image for a band member from the group the sheepdogs, a number of vintage hippie looks impress the judges. oliver is sent home for undersized clothes.
- the ladies hope for some sun and relaxation on the real housewives of new jersey at a waterside resort. with teresa along, however, things quickly escalate to a shit ton of bickering about nonsense.

twin sister - in heaven

do your ears a favor.
in heaven is the stellar debut full-length record from american indie quintet twin sister. the album is a beautiful hodgepodge of genres that compliment each other to create a lush sonic experience which draws the listener in completely.
twin sister is comprised of vocalist andrea estella, guitarist/vocalist eric cardona, bassist gabe d'amico, keyboardist dev gupta, and drummer bryan ujueta. the band's previous two eps from last year, vampires with dreaming kids and color your life, garnered a lot of buzz and placed them on several "artists to watch" lists. though both of those releases are amazing, in heaven is a natural evolution in the band's stylistic musings and they incorporate the best from both those discs.
in heaven, in essence, is a dreampop album with heavy disco influences, chillwave ambiance, and dreamy production. the vocals are ethereal and the attention to detail with atmospheric instrumentation and electronic effects is spot-on. in heaven is a gorgeous piece of sonic art created by five young people who clearly love music. this record is perfect for putting on while enjoying a joint with good company. "kimmi in a rice field," "luna's theme," and "gene ciampi" are my personal favorites, though twin sister can pretty much do no wrong. as an added bonus, i included a slew of older tracks from their previous eps. aren't you curious to find out what all the fuss is about?

this week on tv #5

- on the season premiere of america's next top model, tyra begins her so-called "all-star cycle" with a plethora of no-names from seasons past. following a dull self-image photo shoot, the models walk a live runway and at the elimination a self-absorbed party girl from cycle 5 is sent packing.
- mallory has used up much of her resources tracking down her son sterling on archer, though the other isis members couldn't care less. when she sends a bounty hunter from her past to get the job done, the unlikely pair massacre a bunch of pirates and wind up on a desert island inhabited by buxom babes! ace!
- chelsea handler dishes it as only she can on chelsea lately. aside from discussing a variety of amusing subjects on the round table, she also partakes in a very special cooking segment with chuy and her brother roy to help make a refreshing sangria and tasty jewish potato pancakes.
- on the season finale of curb your enthusiasm, larry is having a series of increasingly awkward confrontations with michael j. fox and is convinced he is abusing his disorder. meanwhile, larry buys a sewing machine for his girlfriend's effeminate son and jeff proves his love for susie.
- things are down to the wire on hell's kitchen with only the five best chefs left. following the dinner service from hell, the fat wench jennifer is sent home for a lack of leadership skills and failing to find her voice in the kitchen.
- on the season premiere of it's always sunny in philadelphia, the gang is disgusted that frank wants to marry a crack-addicted prostitute named roxy and try numerous tactics to ruin the relationship. as per usual, however, things go awry and the hooker succumbs to a crack overdose.
- the designers pair up with men on project runway to design a stunning look inspired by their female companions. a simple black dress and an artsy geisha gown get high marks on the runway but bryce's pink dress is far too frumpy and he is eliminated.
- teresa continues her tirade on the real housewives of new jersey. whereas the rest of the ladies are able to have lunch and discuss things like perfectly normal adults, teresa plays the role of a toddler in her "terrible two's" phase and makes everyone uncomfortable with her rude interruptions and senseless blather.
- on the season finale of tru blood, jesus makes a deal with marnie's spirit to save lafayette at the cost of his own life. meanwhile, sam finds that he still has family left in bon temps and tara saves sookie from a vicious fate.
- on the series premiere of whitney, america proves yet again that the cut-and-paste kindergarten routine of the modern sitcom still "works." whereas much of the cast is unlikeable and half of the jokes fall flat, main couple whitney and alex may be enough to hold the bullshit together.

sleep ∞ over - forever

do your ears a favor.
forever is the full-length debut record from american electronica artist sleep ∞ over. technically, she has released a slew of other eps and lps, but most of her releases are available in extremely limited quantities and her oldest work is out of print altogether.
sleep ∞ over is stefanie franciotti from right here in atx, which makes me quite the happy bunny! despite what plays on the radio, the fact is that there still are creative forces out there making music into art and the fact that stefanie is based in austin pleases me so much!
sleep ∞ over is the perfect name for an artist that creates this type of music. in all honesty, forever sounds like the soundtrack to a dream. sonic texture swirls over ambient synths to create fantastic landscapes while stefanie's unforgettable vocal strains flutter aimlessly. from start to finish, forever is a fantasy for the ears that is both haunting and sensual. my favorite songs are "romantic streams," "casual diamond," and "stickers," which is probably the single sexiest track ever recorded. the entire album is pure art, though, and i adore it. are you curious yet? i thought as much. check it!
01. behind closed doors
02. romantic streams
03. porcelain hands
04. heavens turn by themselves
05. casual diamond
06. cryingame
07. flying saucers are real
08. stickers
09. untitled
10. don't poison everything

class actress - rapprocher

do your ears a favor.
rapprocher is the impeccable full-length debut album from american electronica artist class actress. this is one of the catchiest records i have ever had the pleasure of listening to and believe me; i listen to a LOT of music. rapprocher is possibly the best pop album of the year!
elizabeth harper, better known as class actress, used to be a solo folk artist until she ventured into electronica territory with her ep, journal of ardency. though that release featured great tracks, rapprocher only builds upon that wonderful electro-pop foundation.
class actress sounds like the lovechild of neon indian and 80's madonna. harper's soft vocals of an ingenue sing sweetly over electronica dance beats and layers of new wave synths. "keep you," "prove me wrong," and "need to know" are my faves, but this album is flawless. rapprocher is akin to the greatest dance record from the 80's with the crispest production that today's technology allows. if you like pop music at all, then you owe yourself a listen.
01. keep you
02. love me like you used to
03. weekend
04. prove me wrong
05. need to know
06. limousine
07. all the saints
08. bienvenue
09. missed

healamonster & tarsier - cupcake cave

do your ears a favor.
cupcake cave is the debut full-length album from american electronica duo healamonster & tarsier, otherwise known as h&t. this is by far one of the best records i have come across in a long time.
h&t is comprised of healmonster (burgess tomlinson) and tarsier (rona rapadas.) although they released two previous eps, cupcake cave is undoubtedly their most cohesive work to date.
it is difficult to try and put h&t into any one box, as they are known for mixing a slew of genres to create their own unique sonic persona. cupcake cave features stellar electronica production values, soft bedroom vocals, and mid-tempo breakbeats. the track "ships with lights" is absolutely legendary, but "no memory" and "sadie" also come close to being my favorite track. to be fair, though, the entire record is sheer perfection. stop listening to the bullshit that gets overplayed on the radio and give this musical art a chance. you can thank me later.
01. daxmosphere
02. ships with lights
03. rattlesnake
04. no memory
05. osceola
06. inch inch (h&t remix)
07. sadie
08. delicate

wtf - saved by the bleep
are you laughing your ass off, too? awesome. now we all know what the characters on saved by the bell really wanted to say, if only the censors had allowed them.
as a child of the 90's, i used to watch saved by the bell quite often and though it was occasionally funny, nothing compares to this amazing edited video full of innuendo and cheeky references. who knew that everyone at bayside high is a total pervert?
although youtube is filled to the brim with lame attempts at comedy, this one is pure gold. and as i'm notorious for my own potty mouth, i can kind of relate.

kisses - the heart of the nightlife

the heart of the nightlife is the debut album of american pop duo kisses. the record is packed with radio-ready tracks that should have been huge hits, if only anyone knew who the hell kisses is. and that's what i'm here for!
kisses is comprised of frontman jesse kivel and his adorable band mate zinzi edmundson and together they make musical force to be reckoned with.
essentially, the heart of the nightlife is an album of fun boy-girl pop anthems but flourishes of disco and electronic touches add a layer of depth that is hard to come by in the pop world. my personal favorite songs are "kisses," "people can do the most amazing things," and "midnight lover," but all nine tracks are standouts. i have had this record for roughly a year now and i still love it as much as i did when i first got it. that alone is testament to how good this shit is. what are you waiting for? download it now and dance your sexy ass off.
