Have I Mentioned How Much I Love Two Guys Making A Racket?

March 10, 2010

Well, I do. There’s something simple, true, and friendly about two dudes getting out there and giving some poptunes the blowout treatment.
You’ve got your No Age holding things down in Los Angeles, your Japandroids covering the Great White North, and now you’ve got your Bonjour Afrique, bravely manning the overseas anchor in Paris.

Alors Je T’ai Accompagnée, On a Chanté, On a Dansé

July 27, 2009

Big shoutout to Alberto Contador for being superhuman.

So here’s some more. I heard this on a fine, fine mix by Simian Mobile Disco (coming to Mezzanine on 9/21 for you Bay Areans). This one’s a freebie given out last year by Vice Records.

Summer Rolls

May 16, 2007
