BEFORE TODAY by Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti
It doesn’t take much to make me feel stupid. Trying to find the words to describe the debut album of Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti at 4AD is just one of many examples I could give you. To me, ‘Before Today’ sounds like an album that Kevin Barnes could be recording if he loved goth bands more than funk ones. Or like the cold wave genre entering a multicoloured psychedelic stage instead of glazing at it's own depression. Don’t mind my threadbare examples; this is the album that will make it onto every interesting top 10 of the year and you don’t wanna miss it.
Nathan Smith
I can't resist (probably overpriced) basics-with-a-twist. My wardrobe, full of T by Wang, Oak, Bassike and yes, American Apparel is proof of this; and since in Australia, a new favourite has emerged in the form of Nathan Smith. His selection of supersoft tees, tanks and dresses have sucked me into buying multiples of a number of styles in different colourways. You just can't go wrong with these though! Addictively and endlessly wearable - and not in actual fact, overpriced in the slightlest - Nathan Smith is the way forward for your wardrobe.
Freaks and Geeks
I don’t think any series will treat teenagers the same way that Freaks and Geeks did almost 10 years ago. Although relying on every teen American cliché they could, this series was the closest thing to reality you could get whilst still being something fun and interesting to watch – cause, you know, life is boring. With bands like The Who, The Clash and XTC being either part of episodes or the soundtrack, this 80’s based cult show was short-lived (only 18 episodes), but long enough to enrich the careers of some young actors (i.e. James Franco, Seth Rogen, Jason Segel, Busy Philipps and, erm, Linda Cardellini) and is greatly missed. Can we have a movie about them meeting again in the 00’s?
Rong He
Once, a friend of mine wanted to take me to this 'cheap Chinese restaurant', situated in the heart of Liberdade, a Japanese neighborhood in São Paulo. When we got there the place was packed, but because it looked cheesy and kinda poor, I didn't want to wait it out. It took another friend for me to go back there and fall in love with it. Now, every time the mood for some freshly made noodles (you can watch the chief making the noodle dough through a window) framed in some horribly painted pink walls takes me, I go for Rong He. Did I mention the food is also incredibly generous and cheap?
The Selby Is In Your Place
The ultimate in peeping tom into other, cooler, more fashionable, richer, quirkier and more-hipster-than-thou lives is Todd Selby's The Selby. Having previously been an internet only voyeur's dream, Todd has just last month released The Selby Is In Your Place, a coffee table tome full of twee drawings, colourful interiors and people showering. Half of the images in the books are favourites from the website and the other is stuff he hasn't published online yet. So go check it out, maybe buy it if you can to make your crappy coffee table in your crappy apartment that little bit cooler with pictures of someone else's cool stuff.

Hiya // Boss in Drama

Hiya Drama

 

You know when you are so deep into something that you forget to tell other people about it? This is the case with Boss in Drama's music. First of all, Péricles Martins, the one-man-band/producer is my best friend, so I've been showing off his music since it was in the crappy demo phase. I've watched (and listened) to every process until each become actual songs, which in my eyes are hits.

 

Now, after some years in the almost 'making it', Boss in Drama has finally gotten himself a label deal - which means that you can still download his songs for free, but now, you can also buy an pompous vinyl.

The amazing single cover

 

The first release is via Vigilante records and is the double A-side of 'Favorite Song' and 'I've Got Tonight'. These tracks are exactly what people should be playing at parties: sexy, fun and romantic pop. Fans of Breakbot, Miami Horror and glittery outfits will like these.

Boss in drama - Favorite Song [mp3]

 

Today, he was nominated for the Brazilian version of the VMAs - entitled the VMB for Video Music Brasil of course - in the electronic category (you can vote here). So in order to celebrate all this news, we managed to get him to play at our new party, BLOGWARS, alongside Holger's first live gig since like, ever and DJ sets from the two best blogs in Brasil, Move That jukebox and Dominódromo at Estúdio Emme (more info here).

"Listen to My Favorite Song" Says Simon

Boss_in_Drama_NRNO

 

"I have no idea who did this remix" said Pericles Martins (aka Boss in Drama) while sending me this file. Apparently you can download the multitrack of 'Favorite Song' at the Spanish blog Buffetlibre, and this is how Says Simon got it, remixed it, posted it on those crappy Power Point videos on Youtube, then Gorky (from Bonde do Rolê) found out about it, sent Gorky a message and the remix, who sent to Boss in Drama who sent to me. And this is the story behind the amazing remix below.

 

By editing all the cool parts of the original, Says Simon's remix potentialize the French Touch soul of 'Favorite Song' while the disco noises makes it a classier version of the song. As in all the French Touch remixes, DJ effects finalize the track.

Says Simon also did a remix for Empire of the Sun's 'We Are The People' which is also very good, and different from all the other remixes that are out. Now if only he would get a Myspace page or something similar so we can know more about him...

Our Favorite Remix by Superpose

Superpose

 

I never thought I would say this, but Superpose just did the remix of the week. To my eyes (or should I say ears?) this Brazilian project didn't start out very well; despite having good ideas but producing poor results...but perhaps they've grown past this now. After the great edit for Jonh Denver and the bright remix for Copacabana Club, the Florianopolis duo did a remix of Boss in Drama's best track 'Favorite Song'. And it's superb.

 

It's definitely a poppier version of the song and it radiates tropical vibes. I don't know if this is because they live on this beautiful island or I'm pregnant, but this remix makes me want to drink a piñacolada on the beach. Superpose's Isaac Varzim said that from now on, they will start playing this remix live using his own vocals - this I can't wait to hear!

Boss in the Next 100 !
Boss-in-Drama
C-H-E-E-S-Y IN GERMANY

 

Boss in Drama is in Germany - remember? We told you exclusivity here. And he really likes it there and people should like him back, because as he told us the gigs were quite packed. Ok, but this post is not about that really, it's about Pepa (shorter for Péricles y'all) on the 44th page of the latest edition of URB magazine - did I mention, featuring in their annual Next 100 list?

 

Yes, the edition that features N.A.S.A. on the cover also features this producer youngster from Curitiba (in a text from our BigStereo friend Travis) in the same page as sweet projects like The Pains of Being Pure At Heart and Miike Snow. Check a printscreen of the mag below and read the whole thing here for free with this cool software...

Your Favorite Remix

Art by Roderico who also did our lovely design 

 

Boss in Drama just finished his mini-Brazilian tour with Gorky from Bonde do Role and got some juicy news. Gentlemen Thieves and Hammurabi remixed his first single 'Favorite Song' taken from Your Favorite EP and Péricles (Boss himself) wants to share it exclusivity through us. How nice of him.

 

Gentlemen Thieves are an emotional synth duo from New York who sound a lot like the producers of the French label Valerie - only more dramatic and somehow less epic making touching '80s music to dance to. Whilst the Hammurabi re-edits 'Favorite Song' into a funkily dysmorphic song with a lot of similarities to Daft Punk; by the way Hammurabi is from the electro foursome Bear Force (yes, a bear lover band from the Netherlands).

 

Meanwhile the glorious Australian Moop Jaw crew (Golden Filter, Miami Horror and Gameboy/Gamegirl) are working on Boss in Drama's first video which will be featuring a load of television sets tuned in different channels and Péricles killer dance moves. Sounds fun to me.
