+ 9:15 pm to 11 pm: Trashion! featuring…

- Elizabeth Wunderlich (spoken performance piece + assorted awesomeness)

+ the Designer Showcase has…

- Vanderheyden Hall students

- Michael Maello

- Dawna Johnson

plus the PAPER CHALLENGE (oooh…) and more surprises than you can shake a stick at!  All in all, not too shabby of a part one to your epic evening.

After Trashion screeches to an awesome halt at about 11 pm, your friends at The Official Unofficial Troy Night Out Afterparty open those doors to our favorite malcontents + keep it going until the wee wee hours with…

beats:

Thanks.

i am pretty sure i should be more diligent with my “hey, this whatnot is aces!” posts, but in lieu of that, here’s a video by crystal castles for their track “courtship dating” - if there is something better than this song right now (outside of, say, like satie  or mbv or something), then i have not freaking heard it and you have been holding out on me, which is just not something friends do, friend.  i’m open - throw me the rock!

here is a taste of some delicious treats i have been finding out on the blogs lately. Some of them old, some of them new. I have been having trouble finding decent stuff out there lately due to the fact that sites seem to post 6 times a day with a whole bunch of stuff, not all of it good.

Jape - Floating (D.I.M. Remix)

This song makes me want to do illegal substances.

I Am Finn - I Love You (Van She Remix)

This song makes me happy.

Dilemn - Big Black Spider (Les Petit Pilous Remix)

It gets a bit repetitive, but the main distorted synth line in it is really awesome. I’m a fan of that distorted as all get out lead guitar sound driving these heavy banger tracks.

Lethal Bizzle - Selfridges Girl (Boy 8-Bit)

He can do no wrong! I can’t wait for his “suspense is killing me” EP to drop on mad decent. The bass line in this is its main highpoint, so wait for it.

**Top Pick**
The Phantoms Revenge - Moondancer

If this doesn’t get you dancing, I don’t know what will. Sure, Side-chain compression has been done before but I totally love the old happy summer time disco vibe this track seems to carry throughout its entirety regardless of how chopped and swamped it gets by that bass drum.

And Friday will only get better!

For those who remember the last time he was here, you know how great this will be. For those who missed it, don’t miss out again! Think retro dance party meets friday night jams meets the record James Brown’s drum kit made after the affair with the Bootsy’s bass guitar. In other words, you’ll be dancing and singing along before you even realize you’re listening to that old Air Supply tune pop dukes used to rock on sunday morning….

Sign up on our facebook event so we can send you pics+mp3s after the show!

April showers bring freaking Tittsworth back to Troy. Freaking Tittsworth! And the best thing about it? No April showers! Rain or shine, deluge or drought, up or down, O. Henry or Dickens, Tittsworth will be here on the last Friday of April, ready for it. Cumulonimbus clouds in the area? It’s freaking Tittsworth, chet - that dude has been to the stratosphere and back, and he has snagged the tracks that you can’t live without and the tracks that you do not currently know about but will soon not be able to live without. There’s even a small chance that he will bring along the tracks that on some level, you always knew you were missing out on but never stumbled onto. They were just hanging out back there with in that massive hole in your existence along with your dream of becoming ventriloquist, that missed recital in second grade, and getting your own Sportsflix card. C’mon - those were the cards that changed image when you moved ‘em! Hot on so many levels…

MGMT - Time to Pretend

packed station wagon, all windows down, music too loud to hear eachother, 10 minutes of silence after it plays, good times.

this is a nice spacey disco mix juan maclean did for resident advisor podcast. he even throws in a cover of “happy house” for good measure (leading into his own appropriately titled track of the same name). listen to it, then watch 2001: space odyssey. because space is the place afterall.
