Little Red – Coca Cola

Little Red   Coca Cola  bootlegs
Declaring themselves “Original Doo Wop Punk” Little Red has made it big in Australia and is now setting their sights on the rest of the world. Internationally debuting their single “Coca Cola,” they’re a fun and energetic group who truly capture the 50’s 60’s old fashioned Rock and Roll (think Beach Boys) complete with backing vocals that captures the innocence of that era.

They’re a cute band with even cuter lyrics, but you won’t find anything profound here. “My one and only advice/ Is cold coca cola and Ice” are sugary lyrics that give you an equally sugary high. It’s a super catchy song that even has a fun clapping part when the music drops out (I’m quite the sucker for clap alongs).

Little Red is releasing “Coca Cola” on a limited edition 7″ due out September 21st via Neon Gold. Their album Listen To Little Red will become available November 16th.

Chewy Chocolate Cookies have made another delicious remix, this time taking on Major Lazer’s summer jam, “Pon De Floor.”

Volcano Choir’s album leaked a few weeks ago and I’ve been enjoying it since. Expect a review up soon. In the meantime, give “Sleepymouth” a listen.

I Guess I’m Floating posted up a brand new song Panda Bear performed at last weekend’s All Tomorrow’s Parties Fest in New York. As of now, they are untitled. The first one is good (below), the second one is rather… boring (follow link to find it). GvsB also posted up Panda Bear’s entire setlist.

Major Lazer – Cash Flow (Classixx Glass Bottom Dub Mix)

Major Lazer   Cash Flow (Classixx Glass Bottom Dub Mix) mp3
The ever fantastic Classixx have an ear for fixing and they flexed their skills over our latest dance-hall obsession, Major Lazer. Overall the remix is a slow burning beast, and it’s truly epic. But I’m sure you expected that.

Guns Don’t Kill People…Lazers Do

[Rating Scale]
Buy it at Insound!

[rating:76/100]

The opening notes of Major Lazer’s debut album evoke an old Western movie, counterparts riding toward each other, gritty and determined looks on their faces, horse hooves scraping the dusty ground, tumbleweeds blowing across the barren landscape. The next 41 minutes and 50 seconds throw that image out the window, sacrificed in favor of summer parties, dancehall clubs, and Bacardi commercials. It’s a summer fling of an album, all fun and no commitment, blatantly here to party, break some things, and then go home. Sweet.

Major Lazer is the nom-de-record of the collaboration between producers Diplo and Switch. The name belongs, supposedly, to a one-armed Jamaican commando who fought in a secret zombie war. Instead of prosthetic arms, he now has lasers for hands. Yes, you read that correctly. Given that back story, Guns Don’t Kill People…Lazers Do sounds pretty much exactly how you’d expect it to – complete with off the wall beats, uncontrollable lyrics, and awesometastic videos.

Major Lazer (Diplo & Switch) – Hold The Line (feat. Santigold & Mr Lexx)

Major Lazer (Diplo & Switch)   Hold The Line (feat. Santigold & Mr Lexx) listen
It seems that just about everyone I’ve talked to was skeptical about this whole Diplo and Switch sideproject, Major Lazer. Need I remind everyone that Diplo and Switch brought us the wonderful sounds of M.I.A. and Santigold? I never thought that Diplo and Switch’s collaboration would be anything but awesome.

“Hold The Line” is the first leaked track to come Major Lazer’s project, and the vocals are lead by Miss Santi White. Mr. Lexx also contributes, but I think I was sold when I heard Santigold’s track come in. According to their wiki page, their album, Guns Don’t Kill People…Lazers Do, was recorded in Jamaica. Vocalists Santigold, Vybz Cartel, Ward 21, Busy Signal and others contribute guest vocals to the album.
