le corps mince de francoise: pollution.

dl: LE CORPS MINCE DE FRANCOISE – POLLUTION! (YSI)
——————————————————————–——-

Le Corps Mince de Françoise was recently featured on BIGSTEREO. I left a comment stating, “I’m not quite obsessed yet, but I’m extremely intrigued.” I may be eating my words soon, much like I’m totally eating up their newest song “POLLUTION!” In fact, I am devouring this shit like some Pringles. I’ve popped and I just can’t stop, and if I could pop-and-lock…I’d make a video of myself doing it to this song and post it on YouTube. I’d proceed to get famous in Helsinki, because that is where Le Corps is from. And if they’re not famous there yet, they should be. Mmm…Pringles.

Great minds think alike, as I immediately made the same CSS (Cansei de Ser Sexy) comparison as Travis, perhaps with a little bit of TheDeathSet mixed in. “POLLUTION!” rocks a little bit harder than the peppy vibe of “COOL AND BORED” (listen here), and it’s precisely the sort of silly, slightly noisy electro jam that I’ve been craving. If I don’t get a damn dancefloor under my feet right now, people are going to start staring.

tyskerhar: interplanetarian tai chi.

d/l: TYSKERHAR – Interplanetarian Tai Chi (YSI)
—————————————————————
The facts are these: Tyskerhar is an electro duo from Berlin, a cute Asian chick and a dude with a laptop. I found them while browsing last.fm, even though they were featured three times on BIGSTEREO since March. However, I was lucky to miss them because otherwise my ears might not have collided with “Interplanetarian Tai Chi”. This tune is a tad bit mellower and weirder than those that were posted by Travis, and no diggity…it’s my favorite.

But there’s nothing wrong with the dirtier dance-rap tunes the group pops out. A prime example of this is “C Pop”, which I was going to say reminds me of Uffie‘s “Pop the Glock”, but I realized that there was one big difference– I actually like this song. I suppose I shouldn’t mention how it reminds me of this song too? No, I shouldn’t. But I did.

I’m a little baffled about why these kids aren’t a bigger deal. Tyskerhar writes on their space, “$$$ If you own a label you should sign us and make us all billionaires. $$$” Can someone please take that advice? Now? I need Tyskerhar performing in a venue near me. NOW!

pop the fish: sue ellen.

POP THE FISH stormed into my life with a green plastic gun. He was singing, and I had no idea what he was saying.

I had been reading Bigstereo when I decided to check out the other 5000 finalists in the Diesel:U:Music competition. On the first page I open, this guy is staring at me. Okay, so he’s not staring at me…he’s standing on a beach looking away from me. However, I get the feeling that any minute now he’ll take a sharp turn and shoot me with his plastic gun. I am not concerned. ‘Tis only a water gun, right? WRONG. This dude was holding a fully-loaded booty gun. One shot, and I couldn’t control my ass. It was shaking. In French.

For those who can’t handle my crazed fictional internet fantasies, let me just give you the facts. Pop the Fish is an electroclash artist from Normandy. I like the way he says “Sue Ellen”. That’s all you really need to know. OK?

WEBBYVANDERQUACKIN’: I have fallen in love with Jody Rosen because of this podcast about R. Kelly and his sexosaurus tendencies. Hear it on Slate. How about that Miami Horror remix of Codebreaker? Thank you Bigstereo.
