Etan makes some ridiculous grindcore remixes straight from south Maryland that are sure to turn a few heads that are familiar with the base track and even you aren’t familiar, you’ll probably still dig it anyway. The Death Set remix I’m sharing with you clocks in at five minutes and thirty-seven seconds but you’ll most likely never tire of it before it completes and in fact you may be wanting more.
If you dig the following track then you should listen to more of Etan’s mix work at his MySpace.

super mario compact disco
Wednesday 04.30.08
Everyone knows about the horrible licensing flukes that can come out of video game franchises; you can look at any cartoon, and almost all movies based off videos games and be certain that it’ll probably suck. Today I have something to share with you that sucks just as much as the Super Mario Show and the movie, although I must say that John Leguizamo makes a fine Luigi.
Back in ’93 Nintendo of Japan got Ambassadors of Funk to create an atrocious but awesomely nostalgic, inaccurate, and laughable sampler based electro hip hop album under the pseudonym, MC Mario. It’s terrible, but if you haven’t heard this shit yet than you owe to yourself to download these tracks and don’t worry, I won’t be sad at you for deleting it from iTunes after you play it.
Go on, right click these, I dare you.

lightning bolt
Friday 04.24.08
If you’re not a fan of noise; I can’t say I’m sure that Lightning Bolt is going to change your mind but if you’re a fan of the genre or are at least interested than I assure you that Lightning Bolt is at the head of the pack when it comes to creating avant garde noise.
The track I’m sharing with you is called Dracula Mountain and it’s an incredible noise gem from the Rhode Island band’s Wonderful Rainbow album. The track is absolutely stellar and throughout it’s five minutes, it’s just fucking wild.

Wednesday 04.22.08
Ambient electronic music has always been a favorite of mine but occasionally you’ll find that it’s sometimes a mixed bag because as with all music genres becase simply liking ambient electronic music doesn’t mean that I’m going to enjoy it all. Some ambient tunage that I do like however, and it happens to come from Californian post-rock electronic outfit, The Album Leaf. The San Diego based group creates beautiful pop sounds with gorgeous instrumentation and relaxing vibes. Quite simply, their music is almost ambient pop perfection with the occasional somber but welcome overtone.
The following track comes from The Album Leaf’s mostly overlooked 2007 release, Green Tour EP. Drawing Mountains is a beautiful track of which I’m sure you’ll stick on repeat.

Katamari Damacy is an absolutely incredible video game that has been blogged about relentlessly, even better, the soundtrack has been blogged about a lot as well. If you haven’t had a chance to touch the cult hit PS2 game then no better time than the present exists. The art style is absolutely incredible and the premise basically involves you rolling up everything from paper clips to giant squids in an effort to rebuild the start that your drunken father destroyed.
Like I said, the music in the game is absolutely incredible. One of my favorite songs from the game is a fun pop gem by the name of The Prince and the Moon and I first heard it through my friend and awesome artist, Matt Kish.
If you think this song is boss, wait ’till you play the game.

Hi everyone! Sorry for the unannounced hiatus, but I was away from a proper internet connection for sometime throughout my spring break. I’m back now so let’s keep Analog Scene going proper.
First up I have some news about Analog Scene favorite: Francis and The Lights. They’ll be headlining The Mercury Lounge in NYC tomorrow night so check ‘em out New Yorkers!
Let’s talk about Pop Levi shall we? It’s a relief to see “pop” in Levi Pop’s name; mostly because it helps me write a shorter post about his work. Simply, this is some of that guilty pop stuff you indie fucks have come to enjoy mixed in with original sexy and glitchy elements that break up that guilt so you can just shut up and and dance.
The 7″ releases on April 21st, just a week before Mario Kart Wii comes out! Yeah! You can purchase it from Counter Records.

Ariel Pink makes low fidelity music.
It’s psychedelic.
Let it melt over you.
Dancing not required but highly recommended.

This week is final exams week at my university and If you’re in the same boat as me; this song goes out to people like us. People who wish they could be playing Wii instead of studying Communication Theory.
A lot of times when I’m studying I listen to music and you could say that’s true for a lot of students. However, the one particular genre of music I listen to the most is instrumental because often times I find vocals to be distracting. One particular artist that I’ve been listening to lately would have to be British DJ and producer, Dave Tipper. Tipper’s nu breakbeat and ambient workings are phenomenal and the particular song I’m sharing with you seems to have excellent tempo and energy for what I’m studying so hopefully it fits whatever you’re working on.

music: kelpe
What starts off as something that seems like improv Jazz, Kelpe’s Colours Don’t Leak ends up turning into a phenomenal ambient instrumental track with some droning synths, electronics and a high class drum kit. The track is off of Kelpe’s 2008 album, Ex-Aquarium and I have yet to get a hold of the whole album but I’ll be sure to post about it when I do.
The song clocks in around six minutes but don’t worry, shit never gets tiring. It’s a great song to add to your weekly playlist and if you dig it enough, It probably wouldn’t be a bad idea to check into some of Kelpe’s other stellar music.

music: nick butcher
The beginning static is your day being turned on and your sleep being turned off simultaneously. They’re fighting each other; one wants it to begin, the other wants to press snooze. Eventually the one that wants to wake up rolls out of the slumber and on to the floor. The the sound after that is your eyes adjusting to the light; after that you hear metal, more static, blips, and beeps and sounds you’ve never heard before. These aural events are you noticing the world around you and how everyone is too busy to stop and say hi to you.
Soon the music in your life turns to something with rhythm but it’s occasionally chaotic and makes little sense but the rhythm, that’s the thing you hold on to. The balance, the medium, all in it’s most precious state inside of your head.
The static reappears, it’s beckoning you to end your day. You smile despite some of the lower points of the day. You smile because this is your life.
