AKULT is back this Friday ready to kick start your labor day weekend. After a series of important guests, residents Scott Bliss and Brenden Wesley will provide the grooves and let you judge why this is one of Boston's best nights. See ya at Goodlife!!!
Sometimes here at Manifest Destitute we forget that there is good music outside the realm of the Four to the Floor. Fortunately, every so often we receive music that make us snap out of it! I know it's not officially summer yet, but it feels like it's already here anyway. If you're looking for music to listen to this summer at cookout, Babies Dream Big provides the kind of Soundtrack that will put you in the spirit to go on a road trip, and throw on a pair of hot pants or shorts (but we prefer hot pants...on ladies with roller skates and their mandatory knee high socks!)
Based in lovely Brooklyn, Alan Wilkis Babie's project is a combination of genres that seem at times nostalgic of our classic rock heroes but infuses them with all the Fun that is a drum machine, and listening to Prince. Lending him a hand on this venture, Babies Dream Big features Eric Biondo from "Antibalas/Beyondo/TV on the Radio" and Jason Treuting from "So Percussion". Standout tracks here are Bad Mamma Jamma (for y'all Chromeo fans) and Burnin', although if you listen to the other tracks you'll realize there a little bit for everyone. Jokingly I was telling my girlfriend: "Finally, something that's like the scissor sisters for the Bros!!!"...and you know what? That's exactly what I'll be needing this summer. No joke, Neon Coyote must have felt the same way when he opened his summer mix with "Milk&Cookies".
For some reason you've been having bad luck at the movies recently. We know everyone keeps blaming your lovely wife but we are fans of her as well, and cannot tolerate the nerve these movie critics have at hinting she sucks the creativity out of you. Although I have yet to watch Revolver, we did stumble upon the commercial you did recently for Nike football, and in our humble opinion it was damn fine. We are hopeful however, that doing commercials won't become a full-time job. We miss your movies and really...Swept Away wasn't all that bad. We have a copy on DVD. Good Luck in your upcoming projects. We can't wait to see them soon.
