Goldfrapp to release "Alive" as second 'Head First' single

Just wanted to post this album cover real quick because it's such a creepy, creepy shot of Alison but in true Goldfrapp form, they keep it going with the 80's heavenly dream theme from 'Head First' and "Rocket".

"Alive" will be released on May 24th in the UK on Mute UK, and if you haven't been to Goldfrapp.com lately, you should take a visit because there's a new video/site intro to the tune of "Dreaming". It's a cool aerial city view with puffy cotton candy clouds and.... LAZERS!!!

Pavement Ticket Raffle at the Darkoom this Tuesday!

In a move that oddly juxtaposes indie rock with house music (*my two fav. genres*), I'm going to give one lucky fool a free GEN ADM ticket to a most-coveted show - Pavement's reunion at Rumsey Playfield on Wednesday, Sept. 22.

When you arrive at the Darkroom on 165 Ludlow you will get a number. At 1:00 AM a number will be chosen at random and that person will receive their hard ticket to the show right then and there. How you like 'dem apples?

There will also be another OPEN VODKA BAR 10:30-11:30 PM.

Stay tuned, special guests TBA (I mean it!)

Robin Thicke - Make U Love Me (Blu H.Q. Remix)

"I'm the kinda guy who lives life on the edge"

It's obvious why Derrick Carter would remix this song. The speaky-melodic vocals laid down by Robin Thicke SOUND like a Derrick Carter song. This remix just adds a sexy signature boompty that begs you to move your hips to the beat.

"Imma do it better than your boyfriend ever could"

Goldfrapp Performing "Rocket" Live!

This is the first glimpse we're getting at Goldfrapp's new FEMALE (RAWRRR) drummer Daisy who is rocking a wicked mo-beau font that would make Sheena Beaston proud.

Speaking of hair, part of the reason why I'm posting is because I just about died when I saw Alison's permed 'do. It's SOOOOOO cute. Seriously. My head just exploded.



Head First is officially out. So go get it now!!!

4 Tracks that say "Welcome Back Junior Boys!"

I was just thinking yesterday how good the album Last Exit from Junior Boys was, and how I don't think any work after that really lived up to it... But after some serious radio silence Junior Boys come back to us with some VERY JB-ish remixes. I especially enjoy the treatment they give Sally Shapiro's song "Jackie"... a very Miss Kitten-esque track with depressive aloof German-accented chick talking over sultry beats.

The remix for Stars is also great.

Hope you enjoy!


Zwicker - Who You Are (Junior Boys Remix)

Junior Boys - Jackie (Junior Boys Remix)

Stars - Sleep Tonight (Junior Boys Remix)

Mobius Band - The Loving Sounds of Static (Junior Boys Remix)

Caesar is dead; let's party! ALPHABEAT says, "What?!" Lady Gaga explodes on the dance floor, and Beyonce cleans it up. Answer the Telephone!

ps- Including Alphabeat's re-work, here are some Lady Gaga remixes that shake my shimmy. The Pomplamoose cover version is alltogether different and fun.

SUPER Circuit-y Remix of "Rocket" - Goldfrapp

It's REALLY gay, but also really nice. I enjoy - specifically, how it stretches the song to almost 9 minutes of sweaty shirtless Roxy-ness. Hope you like *snap!*

New Tracey Thorn!

This track is the first peek we're getting at Tracy Thorn's new album "Love and Its Opposite" due out in the US on May 18th (Europe/UK May 17th). The track is (appropriately) called "Oh, The Divorces!" It's a waltz-y ballad. Has a more Patrick Wolf-y/orchestral vibe than "Out of the Woods" did.
