Holy Ghost! Debut EP

The duo Holy Ghost! is one of the most talked about remixers for the last few months. They’ve released a string of hit remixes for artists such as Cut Copy, Moby, MGMT and Phoenix.

Now they’re just about set to release their EP Static on the Wire (DFA Records). And you can catch a preview of the disco-pop track “Say My Name” here AND go have a listen to their latest remix of LCD Soundsystem’s “Drunk Girls” streaming on their website.

And for the first time ever you’ll be able to see them live, performing as a full live band (guitars, drum kit, keys, the works!) this spring and summer, including US dates opening for LCD.

When’s the album set for release? MAY 18th!  

From Pitchfork:

James Murphy told us that the song is “about drunk people and fun things and the fact that all of the boys of the L.A. mansion we recorded at were called ‘the girls’ by our chef. We were the ladies of the mansion.”

The Disco Biscuits, On Time

The Disco Biscuits are taking the pre-order game to a whole new level. Everyone and their mother does the signed CD/poster/ticket bundle (which they’ll be doing too), but that’s not the good stuff.

* Shots of Jameson with the band

For a full list and pre-ordering, check out http://planetanthem.com/

Have a listen to the first single from the album, “On Time” by clicking here.

And have another listen to the Juan MacLean  remix of “You and I” by clicking here!

From press release:

Planet Anthem marks the beginning of a new chapter for the band. Since they formed in 1995, the guys created their own movement by fusing the jam band and electronic music scenes. However, their forthcoming release prominently features elements of pop, indie dance, hip hop, and straight up rock music. This is not the band you think they are. This is a band that makes damn good pop songs that, if you gave them a chance, would resonate with you. Don’t be scared, give it a whirl.

The Biscuits collaborated for the first time with multiple producers, songwriters, and outside musicians, including Don Cheegro and Dirty Harry (Ludacris, Chris Brown, Beanie Sigel). The result is an album filled with sing along melodies and infectious beats. Another first, the new video for “You and I” has been added to rotation at both MTV2 and MTVu and the band is going to be hosting Subterranean as well.

After plowing through 5 sold-out dates at Nokia Theatre in NYC over New Years and four sold-out shows at Boulder, CO’s Fox Theatre in January, The Biscuits will hit the road again starting tonight in Baltimore. The band will be performing at Ultra Music Festival in Miami alongside Tiesto, Deadmau5, Carl Cox, Passion Pit, Major Lazer and more. They’ll also be playing Bonnaroo 2010 this June in Manchester, TN. They also just announced details for the annual music festival they put together, Camp Bisco, which is now in in 9th year.  Past performers have included Snoop Dogg, James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem, The Roots, MSTRKRFT, Nas and Damien Marley, Girl Talk, and Kid Cudi.  This year, the event will take place July 15 – 17 in Mariaville, New York. Lastly, the Biscuits will be hosting their even Bisco Inferno at Red Rocks on May 29th. This year’s lineup will feature Aeroplane, Pnuma Trio, The Crystal Method (DJ Set), Booka Shade, The Glitch Mob and of course 2 sets of the Biscuits.

Highly Anticipated: Free Energy

Be on the lookout for the upcoming debut album from Free Energy. Produced by DFA’s electronic musician James Murphy of LCD Soundsytem, Free Energy’s release Stuck on Nothing will hopefully please. From what I’ve heard so far, I know I am pleased.

As an early treat, the band released a digital EP in September featuring two album tracks and a B-side, Something In Common.  Free Energy’s debut full-length album, Stuck On Nothing, will be released digitally on March 9 and physically on May 4 via Astralwerks/DFA Records. The band is embarking on a national tour throughout February and March with Foreign Born. For a preview of the album, check out the Hope Child MP3 on Pitchfork here!

45:33 Remixed

4533

Almost 2 years ago, LCD Soundsystem came out with their album 45:33. The first 6 tracks were known only as Part 1, Part 2, Part 3…, with the last 3 tracks (which were originally only available in the UK) having actual names.

Now, they’ve got a whole list of DJ remixes for the release earlier this week of 45:33 Remixes.

4533R

I’d take a listen on Amazon before purchasing it, though. I’m a big fan of LCD Soundsystem, but I didn’t find this album worth the $10 mp3 album download.

Magic Arm

I was reading UK magazine Clash the other day, and I wrote a list of some of the bands so I’d remember to check them out. One of these is Magic Arm.

What initially caught my eye about Magic Arm was that they did a cover of LCD Soundsystem’s “Daft Punk is Playing at my House”, which is a great song. So, I figured they’re definitely worth the look-up.

And guess what? I like them so much, I had to get on here and tell you about it! Their debut album Make Lists, Do Something doesn’t come out until May…BUT you can go to their MySpace page and have a listen for now.

The LCD Soundsystem cover is there, and another song I really enjoy called “Bootsy Bootsy” and NOT just because I think the word “Bootsy” is really funny. Let me know what ya think!

Also, if you’ve been searching for a different cool music magazine, and you haven’t picked up Clash…you should. I’m glad I did.
