Not to beat a dead horse, but I have said it before about the Swedish and their rock/indie pop. I have been digging Miike Snow since the first time that I heard “Animal,” last spring. BTW, of all of the countless remixes of Animal, my favorite is still the one on the tarp surfing video … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #97 Miike Snow→
(Photo: David Koppe) For me the jury is still out, on whether I like Hot Chip. They kind of remind me of a modern version of XTC, or something. One thing standing in the way, is that their name reminds me of Hot Action Cop. I realize, that is my problem, not theirs, but still. … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #72 (HC)→
Moving back to the electronica end of the spectrum this week, with Underworld. Reagan absolutely can’t stand them. So, I’m generally relegated to blasting them in my headphones, when I do listen. I have been a fan since the days of “Underneath the Radar.” I even hung on after hearing so many versions of “Born … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #69 (UW)→
I think that it is funny how often I have been asked what kind of stuff I listen to when I run. I’m not sure why, but it almost always catches me off guard. I don’t really know how to answer it, because 1. it is always changing; and 2. Do I just start listing … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #62 (TK)→
Make no mistake, these guys are weird. But, they are also pretty awesome. This week, we are swinging back to the NYC Electronica scene. Fischerspooner was formed by New Yorkers Warren Fischer and Casey Spooner. They got their start performing in the Starbucks at Astor Place. So, you know the’re good. Hahahahah. For real, though, … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #55 (Fischerspooner)→
First of all, sorry in advance. It is that time of day where I feel like everything that I bang out on the keyboard it hilarious/awesome, even though in reality it is total crap and laden with typos. It’s like punch drunk mixed with invincibility. Getting to the point: I mean, you have to love … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #53 (LT)→
Going back to the electronica side of things, this week. Paul Oakenfold is one of the World’s original trance djs. I feel like he is kind of a legend or pioneer, in his own right. Even if you don’t particularly care for trance, if you are a fan of music, then you can probably appreciate … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #52 (PO)→
First of all, only one of the Brazilian Girls, is actually a girl. She is the lead singer, Sabina Sciubba, and she is not Brazilian. Fantastic name for a group, nonetheless. As it turns out, Brazilian is about the only thing that Sciubba, is not. Hahahaha. She grew up in Munich and Nice. In addition … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #44 (BG)→
I planned to mix it up this week, and break out of the early 90’s electronica stuff. But after adding a few “New Order” songs back in the commuting playlist, I remembered how much I like them. So, I’m sharing one of their songs today. Some interesting things about New Order, are: They used to … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #21 (NO)→
Going back to the early 90’s, this week. 1993, was the actual year that the track I’m sharing was released. It came out on the album “Strange Cargo III.” The artist, as you have probably guessed by this point, is William Orbit. Why is it that all of the best electronica artists/DJs, or whatever you … Continue reading La Music Coolica #19 (WO)→
