Music: Runaway...Live @ Akult (The complete Set)

Although our Friends Jacques and Marcos of Runaway are currently in Quebec sipping red wine (hopefully not from a pbr can this time) and probably over indulging on Poutine with Brennan Green, Let's not forget their memorable set at Akult from about a month or so ago. Although the night didn't end at the Goodlife Bar, here for y'all is the set that was played that day. Resident's Brenden Wesley and John Barrera provide the tunes on Part One, while the boys of Runway kill it on Part Two. If you missed the gig, well no worries. Here's some candy for you! Enjoy...

Music: Cut Copy (...Paste some Disco)

Cut Copy's "In Ghost Colours" album keeps hemorrhaging remixes like it's sweeps week on ER. This time around, their song "Far Away" gets a Disco re-rub by Hercules & Love Affair (DFA) and up and coming Damn Arms (Bang Gang). And what is it with the term "Nu-Disco"? It's not like Disco ever went away...Well, I'm gonna try not to use it because it just sounds silly. Agree? Remember when you bought a disco 12" and it actually said "Disco Sound" on the sleeve? That's exactly how i want things labeled...even in my kitchen. Oh yeah, No offense but it seems to me like Andy Buttler didn't get paid enough for the remix (AKA...it's kinda whatever). Damn Arms on the other "hand" probably would have done it for free (oh yeah, it's really that good). So keep an eye on them...they sound promising. Far Away 12" Single out Nov 24th on Modular.

Lazy Sunday: I need you now!!!

Sinnamon was probably better known for tracks like "He's gonna take you home" or "Thank you"

which spent two weeks at #1 on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart back in '82. But the real jam for me has always been "I Need You Now". Listening to this track always makes me feel funny because of the lyrics but the instrumentation is pretty much on point. Sometimes I wonder if all DFA Artist go through Disco Boot camp because this sounds a lot like Holy Ghost's "Hold on" (Call me crazy but the Synth lines are very familar).
