I scare little kids
Last week I promised some dance music ("tomorrow"). Velella Velella are one of the bands I've been listening to a lot of over the last while, to the point where I am convinced that they're way bigger than they are. Like, when I drop one of their tracks, I expect to see the ladies pack the floor and everyone grinding the leg of the person next to them.
These guys produce some next-level dance funk, and they do it with soul. I love this shit. DJs: play it right after some Jamie Lidell and give everyone the impression you're the number one lover.
Velella Velella - Hunter
Velella Velella - Do No Fold/Do Not Bend

Digging back a few months, David Gilmour Girls released a 12" on Headman's Relish Records last August. The A side is Heavy Metal Music Magazines -- a ten minute opus that traverses rock and electronic genres, eventually settling into a Moroder/motorik groove, which in turn gets ripped apart by a rock'n'roll chainsaw. I listen to this, and it's like summer all over again (right).

Ana Lola Roman is not dance music. Not even close. I've been on this female vocalist kick over the last couple weeks, and Ana has provided a great working soundtrack. She writes bizarre musical fairytales, driven by off-kilter piano, synths, and her unique vocal style. Her music is very unusual -- for me, it conjures mental images reminiscent of Jan Svankmajer's Alice, one of those visually abstract films which has seared a couple great scenes into my mind. We're talking sawdust-filled bunnies with over-sized teeth, and jars of formaldehyde-soaked somethings (yes, somethings).
If you're into these tracks, also check out Ana's other project, Roar On Ivory (released through Touch It Movement records).
Ana Lola Roman - Brothers Grimm
Ana Lola Roman - Modern Day Nursery Rhyme
Ana Lola Roman - Candy Coated Lithium

Big thanks to For The Records and Chromewaves for linking our Top 35 Canadian Bands list. We've been getting a lot of traffic and some nice responses.
We've also been hooked up by The Big Ticket recently. Check them out.
And hey - Ashley - you're hot. For real.

I'm noticing that some people still think direct-linking MP3s from AYF? is cool. It's not, and you will soon be unable to do it (this will only affect about three of you -- literally).
Just switched over to Technorati for archive searching. You will now find the search is way more reliable -- like you can actually find what you're looking for without tons of duplicate posts in the way. Check it out on the side panel.
I also cleaned up our Feedburner feed, if you're into the RSS thing.
