Best WTF in the world.

yesterday, TMYLM spent lots of time being outraged, shocked, and variously consumed by dreams of cannibalism.  as letters to aig provoke strong reactions across the aisle, we got to thinking about the holiday of passover thats a-coming up for us jews.  if we can argue that pesach represented a perfect embodied example of proletarian revolution: the leaving in the dust, literally, of the accumulated capital of the egyptian empire and rising up in a strike to cross the river where labor was not converted to surplus value (hence the unleavened bread), we may offer in rejoinder: where’s our embodied revolt?  the perfect thing about pesach was its insistence on the non-ethnic divide of the egyptians and hebrews (remember that moses was, early 90s multiculti speaking, an egpytian although by blood a hebrew!) but rather class divide - class that could only be experienced through slave labor.  in every other biblical story, it’s an ethnic problem that causes bloodlust and suffering. in todays america the raped, however, the sitch is quite different, but bodies and slaves are no minor players in the creation and growth of the credit market.  We must reconsume the credit markets, for their speculation consumes us all.

Upstairs: Patti Smith singing “You Light Up My Life” on the perfectly named show, “Kids are People Too.”   Love the riff on punk not being a commodity. Hee.

SO… its really is becoming desperate out there. While the country burns, Obama fiddles with the knobs on his well-tuned neoliberal joke machine.  All is revealed for what it is, the cannibals roaming around - don’t they know they need to come home?  It may be raining, but there’s a rainbow above you.

Was making lamb kebabs the other night and did a random search for greek music to have on in the background–and I came across this INCREDIBLE song, which is greek, and maybe made in the 60s* , but sounds like just about the coolest new music we’ve never heard.

Lissen’ good:

Kyriarxoi Tou Sympantos (Greek Prog Rock)

*(seriously doubting this, it sounds so awesome)

what better way to unwind on a hot sticky summer night than an iced cold glass of neo world folk anthems ? stock up now, before there’s a run on the banks!

Fay Lovsky - Automatic Pilot

Italoboyz - Zinga

Yo, so we apologize for the dearth of listings the last few weeks. But between the finals, papers, and tantric breathing exercises your intrepid hosts undertake, we just haven’t found much time for the music. What a blessing then, when the good folkers at BuffetLibre sent us the following mix.

Now, we get utter shit in the mail everyday from people asking us to post (hint: there’s still a guy that is enjoying MASHUPS with the Presidents of the United States… a shiny rupee to he who figures out what artist he would mashup their popular song with…). So it was delightful to get something actually interesting. Apparently there’s a backstory to this mix; there were “guest selectors” for certain songs. Whatever, just enjoy it and go ride your bike!

Buffetlibre Dj: “Verbena Selected 3: The Aftershow Party” (Zshare)

As the flowers bloom and you stare agog at all the naked arms and legs, fix your flats, overhaul your hubs, and desperately try to articulate the importance of baseball, you try not to mourn millions in government cheese going to other cities or Hillary’s takedown of the democratic party in the name of…a vital freezing of tax on gasoline.

Beautiful bicycle music:

Carrie Rodriguez - Seven Angels on a Bicycle

Bobby Baby - Lucky Moments

We haven’t forgotten about you and your DIY lifestyle! Now with harmonies! acoustic guitars! humming! old timey spellings!

(link fixed!)

There’s a lot of talk these days about what kind of stuff people of certain ethnicities like. White people. Black people. Brown people. Asian people. Young Jewish adults. You know what I like? Kick ass rock shows that rock, kick ass, and make me feel philanthropic for finally giving back to the bands whose music I’ve been pirating the shit out of for years. Here you go, scrappy indie band! Here’s $15. Put a few squirts in the van.

Here’s a few tracks from bands I just saw or am about to see. Feel free to pirate the shit out of it.

Boredoms - B is for Boredoms

Blood on the Wall - Mary Susan

High Places - New Grace

Are text messages ethnographic evidence? Some Finnish minister overtexted a dancer and the mayor of Detroit did something possibly worse. And the archive? The FBI apparently has that terrible deleted love text you sent to your last boyfriend. You might say you always text under erasure. Its humid and sticky out, and since the speakers at TMYLM are blown out, we’re happy to present some more indie songs until our bass gets back in line.

MGMT - Kids
Headlights - Cherry Tulips
