Ten days since... (music)
Jun. 17th, 2011 03:15 pmI can't believe it's been 10 days since I last posted a music entry. Partly I've been busy, partly APC has been extraordinarily quiet, and partly it's been suck city in the new music I've listened to in the past week or so. I've gleaned out a couple of worthwhile items nonetheless. Herewith three voices and two megamixes.

Rachel Goodrich (http://myspace.com/rachelgoodrich) is another artist I'm surprised I haven't written about before. She's a fun poppy folk-acoustic performer with a light pleasant voice. I find myself grinning while listening to her music - it's catchy without being too kitschy (despite the whistles, oompahs, and ukelele).

New single from Jess Mills. She continues to be as silky and seductive as when I first heard her but this track feels like it has more underlying power. I'm just waiting for a good remixer to take this one and tear it up.

I had been on the fence about this one when it came out. I don't think much of Rye Rye's lyrics or voice on this one and I think she comes off particularly poorly against Robyn - Rye's voice is thin and the damned clap-beat almost drowns her out where Robyn's vocals are strong and she just soars.
I pulled this one back just so I could comment on the video, specifically the costuming. Rye's outfits range from awful (the yellow thing at the start) to passable (the green-blue thing you start to see around 2:20). However, the dress Robyn is wearing starting from about 0:35 is possibly the most AWESOME thing I've seen on a singer in a while. It fits her perfectly, moves well, and the wild color scheme goes well with the graffiti-filled filming locations and contrasts perfectly with Robyn's platinum cut. Whatever idiot decided she needed a jacket on top of it should be slapped. The analogy of Robyn's voice:Rye's voice :: Robyn's dress:Rye's dress is just too good to pass up.

lobsterdust's "Whole Lotta Extra Dougie" begins with a classic Zeppelin tune and shows that you can put together that, some standard rap lyrics, and some heavily edited Katy Perry to get something unique. The man is a master - I'm convinced nobody else could've done this and made it work.

Speaking of masters at work, here goes DJ Earworm with another mega-mix. This one takes 19 tracks from 15 artists and produces a high-energy summer dance extravaganza. He's so good at this it's hard to realize how much work goes into these things. Again I don't know anyone else who is pulling off these kinds of megamixes these days.
