Fall Concerts! Going To Girl Talk & Thinking About Ray LaMontagne

Posted: 31 Jul 2009 09:13 PM PDT

I'm so excited! I just bought tickets (last night) to go see Girl Talk live at the House of Blues in Boston. The concert isn't until November 2nd, but MAN I can't wait for this show. I tried to get tickets last year when he played in Massachusetts, but they were sold out already. I paid $10.00 last year for the physical copy of his last album, Feed The Animals, but you can pay whatever you want and get the digital version. From $0.10 to $10,000! From what I've heard, this guy is OUT OF CONTROL live. Get your tickets now at Ticketmaster.

So...apparently Ray LaMontagne is going on a Fall tour. BLAST! I don't have $$! The pre-sale starts on August 3rd and he's doing a stripped down acoustic set. This sounds AMAZING. His vocals make me melt, and as impressive as it was to see Ray, backed up by his band, it's HIS voice that I want to hear. It's his voice that literally brings tears to my eyes...so in all likelihood, I'm going to see this show. Anyone want to go with me? Tour dates are below and the concert kicks off in Maryland, October 15th.

October 15 - North Bethesda, MD Music Center at Strathmore
October 16 - Baltimore, MD Meyerhoff Symphony Hall
November 1 - Atlanta, GA Fox Theatre
November 4 - Boston, MA Wang Center
November 7 - Upper Darby, PA Tower Theater
November 9 - New York, NY Beacon Theatre

Chromeo's DJ-KiCKS Tracklisting

Posted: 31 Jul 2009 08:51 PM PDT

Hrm. So last week, I was all excited about the new DJ-KiCKS + Chromeo disc. When I saw that ArjanWrites had posted the full tracklisting to the new DJ-KiCKS album featuring the stylings of Chromeo, I got excited. Then I saw the tracklisting...and I was left somewhat disappointed. Honestly, the only reason I'm disappointed is because I don't know the majority of the artists on the album. The names that stood out? Lifelike, and Chromeo of course. The more I think about this though, the more excited I get. Since when has my not knowing about an artist stopped me from listening to an artists? Chromeo MUST have good taste, right? I've had a change of heart and once again, am excited for this release.

Can anyone recommend a couple of these artists? The album is out on September 29th.

Kano - "Ikeya-Seki"

Pierre Perpall - "J'aime Danser Avec Toi"

Toba - "Moving Up"

France Joli - "Gonna Get Over You"

Donna Allen - "Serious"

Lovelock - "Maybe Tonight"

Chateau Marmont - "Solar Antapex" rework

Val Young - "Seduction"

Soupir - "Larmes de Métal"

Lifelike - "Sequencer"

Carmen - "Time to Move"

Shotgun - "Don't You Wanna Make Love"

Cheri - "Murphy's Law"!

Leo Sayer - "Easy to Love"

Shazam - "Luckier"

Chromeo - "I Can't Tell You Why"

Diane Tell - "Tes Yeux"

The Alan Parsons Project - "Pipeline"

Billboard Dance/Club Play Chart - July 30, 2009

Here's Thursday's Hot Dance/Club Play Chart from Billboard. LA-based dance/electro-pop singer Erika Jayne takes the top spot this week, seeing PSB drop back down to #9. Lady Gaga's "LoveGame" also drops from #5 to #10. I'm BEYOND thrilled that the Paradiso Girls have hit the Top 5 (although I wish they'd hit the mainstream charts with just as much gusto). Not any other big moves in the Top Ten, but a side note...I'm really hoping that all of these rumors circulating about the Pussycat Dolls breaking up aren't true. I can't say that I'd be surprised if they were true, I'm just hoping they aren't. The world still needs some Doll Domination!
