Music/Film: Part of the Weekend Never Dies (The Review)

It's been probably way too long since we last wrote on the blog and frankly it was a necessary break. I'm not gonna bore you with sentimentalism/spirituality/reality checks (although just checks would be nice $$$) or anything remotely personal and introspective (cause I'm the worst at it). But after all, Manifest Destitute is a world for those who dream and those who Dance...and those who live each weekend like it was their last.

If you haven't seen Soulwax's "Part of the Weekend never dies" then you probably don't love Music all that much. If you haven't the faintest idea of What Soulwax or what 2 Many DJ's do/are, this nice little package will without a doubt indoctrinate you into the Gospel that is Nite Versions while making you believe Jesus is actually two brothers from Belgium whose goal is to save the world from bad music. Yeah ok...we really liked the documentary but trust me, we are pretty sure you will too.

"Director Saam Farahmand filmed Soulwax on their recent international dates, capturing all the excitement, chaos and humour of the world tour. Where the Beastie Boys filmed one gig with 50 cameras, Soulwax filmed 120 shows with one camera, in Europe, Japan, US, Latin America and Australia. The result is a snapshot of life on the road with one of the most exciting live bands in the world, and features their friends including 2manydj's, James Murphy & Nancy Whang (LCD Soundsystem), Erol Alkan, Tiga, Justice, Busy P, So-Me, Peaches, Klaxons and many more in interview, as well as behind-the-scenes footage, and LOTS of music".... go watch it (seriously, now!!!)

Buy the DVD Here...and Here!!!

Video: James Murphy is a Disco Bully...just ask Hot Chip

Hot Chip - Wrestler (DFA records)

Ok...this song is really not their greatest accomplishment, but nonetheless it's still pretty entertaining. What's hilarious though is the video that accompanies it, with James Murphy as a Martial Arts Disco Bully. Well...i guess it just goes to show how cool DFA is right now as they prepare themselves for world domination again (but more on that later). So while we wait for some of DFA's big newcomers to guest at Akult next month (you'll see...), join us at Goodlife tonight for a fun night of Disco with resident DJ Brenden Wesley and new pal John Barrera.

Music/Event: PS1 Warmup (07.26.08)

Jesus, It seems like an eternity since we posted something on the blog and sadly it has been. But either way we're happy to be back and although it's been a crazy few weeks, we still managed to run away to New York for the weekend and catch some of DFA's finest over at PS1. With a full house in front of them, James Murphy and Pat Mahoney spun some Disco classics and early House to a crowd of "too cool for school" New Yorkers, Art lovers, overjoyed fans and some people just dancing to their own drum. Their Set resembled their mix for Fabric from earlier this year, but there is no doubt these two members of LCD Soundsystem are having a lot of fun behind the Technics, and we're glad we got to catch them in the act. Here are some pictures and video of the event for your delight...and ours of course. ps: check PS1 radio for the upcoming recording from the event here.
