The Sound of Perfection

I don't think it gets much better than this.

El Guincho, Te Amo

El Guincho at The Elbo room Saturday was the best live show I've seen in ages. I can't stop listening to Pop Negro; it's a beautiful thing. I keep getting high off the melodies over and over again. Their live act sounded just as good as their recorded performance does -- if not, better. Their sound is a winning combo of so many of the most beautiful components of music, borrowed from many different realms, many of which I love the most. Here's the enchantedly entertaining video for Bombay, one of the finest dance records around in 2010.

Little People (Black City) à la Mark E.

So this has to be my favorite record of the year...so far. Check out his latest BIS mix for more delightfulness. Looking forward to "The Day" getting a proper release as well.

Really iTunes?

I didn't expect any results, but I also didn't see that suggestion coming.

Modern Art

I'm wondering if both of these covers were the work of the same graphic genius. After all, there's the Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis connection between the two records. I just recently rediscovered "Pretty Brown Eyes," which was one of my 12 year old self's favorites -- along with Ralph Tresvant's "Sensitivity," of course.

No Señor, Don Quichotte y Sancho Panza no estan aqui!

I hope everyone out there had a fun memorial day weekend. Did you go to DEMF, and if so, how was it?

I've been meaning to post this fun little synth pop tune by Magazine 60 for a good while now. It's a nice *safe* party record that would work with a variety of different crowds if one was unsure of what people were into. The only beef I have with it is the old-time telephone ring that goes off occasionally during the track closely resembles my default ringtone. Even after a number of listens, I always end up thinking my phone's ringing and checking it. Even so, it's always a good listen when it pops up on shuffle. Enjoy!

New York's Finest

It's a crime that I'm the only person that's ever scrobbled this on Last.fm. This needs to change immediately! Vocal house por vida! These are those special vocals that make you want to jump up and down like a total fool. I can never (and will never) get enough.
