George Michael - Live @ MTV Unplugged (1996)

noreply@blogger.com (Fuzzy Crew) — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 17:20:00 +0000

For the final Live Performance of this week, we revisited the MTV Unplugged archives and picked George Michael's performance, recorded and filmed in London, on the 11th Oktober 1996. Oddly enough it's pretty hard to find any information about it anywhere, so I must assume it's no longer available, which makes it of course even more interesting.

George Michael was the biggest British pop star of the 1980s, spinning a series of infectiously catchy pop singles into global stardom that saw him sell over 100 million albums worldwide. Blessed with good looks, a fine voice, and a knack for writing engaging melodies that worked well with dance-friendly rhythms, Michael became the rare teen sensation who matured into a respected star as an adult, though his life after achieving pop icon status has not been without personal and creative challenges.

Today's Live Performance comes from none less than The Rolling Stones, in the news lately thanks to the rerelease of the extended "Some Girls" package, but here they are filmed and recorded at Zilker Park in Austin, Texas, USA, if you want it more specific, on Sunday October 22, 2006. It's in excellent video and audio quality so turn up the volume and let them Rock Your Socks Off for the next hour and a half!

Market East - Market East (album stream)

noreply@blogger.com (Fuzzy Crew) — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 03:20:00 +0000

Market East's debut, self-titled album is not like anything you've heard in a while. It's like early 1960s pop exploded, and what was left was a fusion of The Beach Boys and The Beatles. Each of these tracks will take you back to a time where love songs weren't ironic, and dreamy sounds only better highlighted tight harmonies. Give this six-track time capsule a spin -- and marvel at how many girlfriends these guys must have dedicated songs to. Dig what you hear? All the better for you, because this Philadelphia trio is generously offering the whole thing as a free download.

Pop. 1280 - The Horror (album stream)

noreply@blogger.com (Fuzzy Crew) — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 15:20:00 +0000

After some pretty flawlessly disgusting 12"s, NYC scumsuckers Pop. 1280 have finally returned for their debut slab of synth-tweaked, gutter-gazing, jeans-pissing noise-rock. The upcoming The Horror, released last Tuesday on Sacred Bones, starts with the sublimely bleak lyric "Two dogs fucking," and then just gets exponentially savage with the filthy animal metaphors as the album unravels into madness, demanding you "beg like a human." Fans of Suicide, Birthday Party, Chrome, Jesus Lizard, Swans, and Pussy Galore take notice — and get some therapy!

Porter Ricks - Biokinetics (album stream)

noreply@blogger.com (Fuzzy Crew) — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 09:20:00 +0000

Techno isn’t a genre that has birthed many consistent albums, and the dub techno subgenre even less so, but one indisputable classic is Porter Ricks’ debut ‘Biokinetics’. Originally issued on the legendary Basic Channel sub-label Chain Reaction in 1996 following a trio of 12”s, ‘Biokinetics’ was the first of the label’s album releases, and still stands as its crowning achievement.

Harriet - Tell the Right Story EP (album stream)

noreply@blogger.com (Fuzzy Crew) — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 07:20:00 +0000

For Harriet’s Alex Casnoff, formerly the pianist for PAPA and Dawes, it wasn’t an album, poetry or even music that inspired his band’s debut EP, Tell the Right Story. Instead, Casnoff drew from directors and screenwriters for the songs that would end up on the disc:

“I think I’m a musician and a songwriter because that’s what I’ve been doing my whole life, but I think my first love is the movies,” Casnoff told Paste. “In terms of songwriting, I think I’m extremely influenced by screenwriters and dialogue almost more than poetry. I think I like music that, when you’re driving, makes you feel like you’re part of something bigger than the drive.”

Strange Vacation - Chasm (album stream)

noreply@blogger.com (Fuzzy Crew) — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 03:20:00 +0000

Detroit rockers Strange Vacation channel classic pop punk and more psychedelia tinged rock and roll on their debut LP, Chasm, out on January 17th via Authentik Artists. The band, which is made up of members of The Boys of Summer and That Was Something, features true-to-genre vocals, made unique by just a touch of sandpapery gravel in the back of the throat, and spacious arrangements that keep the songs sounding light and fresh.

Recommended If You Like: The Dangerous Summer, The Boys of Summer, That Was Something, The Graduate; Listen to Chasm below.

Of Montreal - Paralytic Stalks (album stream)

noreply@blogger.com (Fuzzy Crew) — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 23:20:00 +0000

"You can perceive the world in so many different ways," says Of Montreal frontnut Kevin Barnes from his home in Athens, Georgia. "You can focus on the positive things, the sunlight and the trees growing and all the birds and animal life, all the beautiful things; or you can focus on genocide and torture, terrorism, abuse, and neglect." When he was starting to write Paralytic Stalks, the latest (and perhaps most direct) installment in the tireless, zig-zagging, psychedelic circus of a project he's led since 1997, Barnes seems to have skewed toward the latter. Which isn't to say the album, streaming below and due February 7 on Polyvinyl, is a funeral march. Largely inspired by avant-garde classical music, Paralytic Stalks is instead an exciting, at times outrageously melodic next step from a popsmith who seems most comfortable when he's moving forward.

Deadmau5 - Live at Roskilde Festival 2011 / Earl's Court 2010

noreply@blogger.com (Fuzzy Crew) — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 17:20:00 +0000

Today's Live Performance is a double whammy, the first one looks back at last year's edition of the Roskilde Festival, attended by about 130 000 people, with the full performance by DJ/produer Deadmau5, filmed and recorded in Roskilde, Denmark on July 2, 2011.

And in addition to that we've got another, almost 2 hours long, live performance by Deadmau5 as recorded at Earl's Court, London on December 18, 2010.

Joel Thomas Zimmerman (born January 5, 1981), better known by his stage name deadmau5 (pronounced "dead mouse"), is a Canadian progressive, electro, and house producer based in Toronto.

Spot-On: PK (streams)

noreply@blogger.com (Fuzzy Crew) — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 15:20:00 +0000

PK are one of those young acts with the gift of sounding timeless and established, like they could've opened for David Bowie in 1981 or Death Cab for Cutie in 1999 or Foster the People in 2011. So it makes sense that they're now jamming a (freely downloadable!) take on Crystal Castles' and Robert Smith's 2010 reimagining of "Not in Love," a 1983 New Wave classic by Platinum Blonde.

Small Professor - Gigantic, Vol. 1 (album stream)

noreply@blogger.com (Fuzzy Crew) — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 11:20:00 +0000

“The core of the hip hop sound is sampling. Even that has evolved a lot throughout the years to where it’s no longer just simple loops, it’s what we call ‘choppin!’ And I love choppin’! In fact, I consider my self the ‘master chopper of all time!’”

A bold statement made by Philly producer, Small Professor off his track “Pear Razor” which you can find on his upcoming album, Gigantic Vol. 1. Selecting a name which carries on that of a legend in the game in the Large Professor is nothing short of a gutsy move. It means that you acknowledge all the weight that the name carries and also that you must bring something unique to hip hop’s platform.
