baby monster: everybody’s doing it.

Baby Monster - She Comes Alive
Ellie Goulding - Under The Sheets (Baby Monster Remix)

Quite honestly? I don’t know much about Baby Monster. Up until a week or two ago, I knew they did a remix of Ellie Goulding‘s “Under The Sheets” and that’s about it. Well, it turns out that our blog-bros at BIGSTEREO will be releasing a 7″vinyl of their new single “She Comes Alive”, including b-side “Sudden Symphony”. There are only 350 copies available with an ominous promise of no repress, so you better get your hands on one before they become the next big thing. Or maybe they’re already the next big thing?

The point is that you should cop this shit, because if you pre-order it now you’ll receive a link to a free exclusive Baby Monster mixtape. And if that’s not enough to convince you, just think about how much you’ll regret not having this when it’s worth a million-trillion dollars and the band’s partying on a yacht with Lady Gaga and George Clooney. Because, duh, they obviously will be.

There’s no ignoring that “She Comes Alive” sounds like an outtake from MGMT‘s Oracular Spectacular, but I’d sooner compare these guys’ whole vibe to Australia’s Empire of the Sun. Then again, I’d rather not compare them to anyone, given that I haven’t heard enough of their material to make such comparisons. So let’s just say they sound like something you want to put in your ears.

A wise man (who I had very little respect for) once told me, “When you’re feeling uninspired, go back to what you know.” That’s what I decided to do today.

This past weekend, Laura Goldhamer‘s “No Ability” came onto K’s iPod. It seemed like a sin to forget about this song, especially since it meant so much to me during my immediate post-college life. Since I imagine there are a bunch of folks who just graduated, I’d like to dedicate this song to them. In fact, I’d like to dedicate this song to anyone who’s lost in the world of (un)employment.

Mildly masturbatory note: If you went to Wesleyan, you will notice references to Foss Hill, The Ready Set and… yes, even MGMT. Silvie of Belly Boat and Laura Goldhamer are also alums.

Andrew VanWyngarden may be the “cool” member of MGMT, but an ITMS!! reader just sent me this dorktastic photo of him performing with his high school buddy Dan Treharne as Glitter Penis. For more tracks by Glitter Penis, see the archives here or check out their site.
