Tie Your Shoelaces to the Moon

They try to come off insane and completely absurd, but Gang Gang Dance compiled a few pleasantly melodic gems on their new album, "Saint Dymphna." If you know whats good for you, you'll grab a copy. It's going to be on my top ten albums of 2008 which should be popping up quite soon.

Here are some tracks to keep you occupied.

Gang Gang Dance - House Jam

Gang Gang Dance - Dust

Show Your Roots: Volume IV

So, as you may have noticed, the third installment of Show Your Roots was taken down. I suppose out of all the music I have posted on here over the last year or so, Kraftwerk is probably the most worthy of being copyright protected.

Oh well.

This week I'm going to take you to a magical place where roles have been reversed and geeky college dudes with synthesizers reign supreme. "Does this place actually exist?" you ask. My only reply is "Are We Not Men?"
