Sucking on helium and then talking is funny when you’re like 6 (or stoned) but when you record a song with it, that’s soopa doopa good!

DAT Politics have made one of the craziest bonkers albums of the year, ‘Wow Twist’. ‘What’s Dat?’ is maybe the cutest thing on there, and we like cute sometimes, so here it is for you with a kiss and a fluffy kitten! x

DAT Politics- What’s Dat?

So sugary pop it hurts your teeth like foil might if you chewed hard on it. Its the hyperactive Ritalin-starved niece of The Knife’s ‘We Share Our Mothers Health’, its Stereo Total, its The Plastics, its the few good bits of Fannypack, its Mu without the basement disco drums, all mushed together and spun into a cloud of candy floss! Its unashamed electro 80′s pop, like the electro(back)clash never happened. I’m guessing xxjfs2 will play this at thedoclub…?

Which leads us to this Friday…

Its 20 Jazz Funk Greats night! You know the drill, your humble narrators dodgy-fade Die Monitr Batss into Boredoms, Goblin into Roll Deep, that sort of thing. We will also be mourning the loss of xxjfg faves Pro Forma who have sadly split. But yeah! Fun! at The Penthouse above The Freebutt, Brighton – free entry and 2 pounds a pint! Then its onward to The Do…

The rave continues! Its thedoclub don’t u know…

Smashingly good music all round with,

Metronomy performing live!!

Metronomy have remixed Franz Ferdinand, Sebastien Tellier and Dead Disco, to name but a few. You have already danced to his songs at thedo! (probably next to him, he lives here)

Do Not Miss!

Which leads us to Metronomy!

Some venues started having a no smoking policy in Brighton now so you end up with this cheery looking crowd of loser hipsters shaking in the cold and rain under whatever protection is available outside the place.

The desperate sense of cold and nervousness brings together the same kinda feelings of comradery I guess they had in the bomb shelters during WW2 and you strike up conversations with the nearest nicotine addict with a yellow cardigan just to get a light. Sometimes you end up talking about Devo and this is nice. Then you find out your fellow tar lunged cougher is in a band (for actual percentage chance of this happening see Sam’s blog entry). Fluxblog has already blogged them years ago, and they played at Trash. For actual percentage chance of this happening, ah fuck it, this never happens, but no it did!

So I go to thedoclub one Friday and the club is rockin and James drops this ace track and I’m like, wow what’s that and its crash bang wallop, same same band. Ok, now this is getting freaky. Poor old slow on the uptake behind with the times xxjfs2. Wouldn’t know what was hip and happening in Brighton if it bit him on the leg.

Metronomy- You Could Easily Have Me

So, slow on the uptake as we are here is Metronomy’s song of disproportionately nonprobabilistic coincidence levels. Don’t cross the road listening to it or you will prove black is white and get run over by a crossing zebra/penguin/bad joke. You can listen to this while crossing space using an infinite improbability drive though, as it sounds like the perfect music to power such a machine. I need to get out more.
