Those Electronic Boys from Bergen

I've talked about CasioKids before here on Outside Everything, well early next month, October 11th to be exact, Casiokids release their second album entitled Aabenbaringen over aaskammen ("The Revelation over the mountain") via the US label Polyvinyl.  The first single called "Det Haster" (Urgency)  is a return to the synthpop style Casiokids is known for. The track is a pulsing ambient tune that I imagine was inspired by being the drunkest one at a packed house party and desperately trying to find the exit, its a swaying, in your own head, mumbled voices, slow motion experience. If Aabenbaringen over aaskammen anything like  Topp Stemning På Lokal Bar, then I'm sure it will be on repeat all of October.  

My Ego Knows No Bounds.

Today is my birthday, and this is my birthday song! So celebrate my day by playing this as loud as possible and getting drunk. Much Love.

 The Wodka Wars

Last night I watched this Vice Media documentary called The Wodka Wars, its a really interesting immersion journalism view on the origins of Vodka and who has the right to call it their own. Be sure to watch their other documentaries, really great stuff.

I have nothing clever or descriptive to write here.

This song came out towards the end of June but I missed it like most things. So I bring it to you now, I have a feeling that, and this may be too early, this will be and I hate saying this "The Paper Planes" of 2011, damn I sound like a tool. Well, the song is catchy as hell and I'm still trying to figure out who Kreayshawn reminds me of. Until then I'll keep this on repeat.

Btw I should be releasing a hip-hop DJ set soon, still working on a title. If you have a suggestion send it to me on twitter @KJone5

SFTW, No Problem.

Lil' Wayne dropped his latest mixtape less than a week ago called Sorry For The Wait. You can download it here. Some standouts are "Party"  and "Rollin'". I'm digging it, let me know what you think and for now check out "Rollin'". HYPE! THE CARTER IV OUT AUGUST 29TH...btw.

Let's Bring Back Soul

Aloe Blacc is an American soul singer, rapper, and musician. He has received a lot of attention, especially in Europe for some reason, for his single "I Need A Dollar". Personally I wish this type of music and style were more prevalent in popular modern music, but hey I'm a sucker for nostalgia. The video for "Loving You Is Killing Me" is so damn feel good and smooth its ridiculous. Check it out.

Thought You Should Know.

Snø is a band from Bergen. I had the chance to see them awhile ago but missed out due to a breakdown in communication. They've just added music to to their Myspace. To me its reminiscent of Björk mixed with Godspeed! You Black Emperor. Check it out, they're someone to watch.
