Summer Binge And The Kite Aren't Dead Yet. (0)




I wish they were. Honestly you guys, worst fucking band ever. Why these guys are hyped, I have no fucking idea. It breaks my heart to know people are into music so shitty. Like when I'm trolling blogs and I see stupid little hipster kids going all like "WOOOOOOOOOOOW Summer binge an the kite r mya favorite band111!!! 4reelz! i luv listenign to them when i do excstzy"

It was even worse when they won basically every fucking award they were fucking nominated for. That's a whole fucking lot of awards for a piece of shit album. I mean fucking really. But at least we were done with them, OR SO I THOUGHT. I guess SBATK aren't satisfied with creating only 1 album of the shittiest music ever made so they thought they'd start another. Here's their fucking bullshit tracklist.

1. Our Haven (3:14)
2. Powerbooster (4:27)
3. Writing on the Wall (1:31)
4. Dada (2:00)
5. Dada (Scandalous Young Women Remix) (7:54)
6. !!@! (0:03)
7. You are my best bet (4:56)
8. Still Standing (4:23)
9. You're Impossible (2:32)
10. Kafka ain't got nothing on this! (6:43)

I swear, music community at large, if you like this I will fucking disown you. What did my ears do to deserve this shit? Summer Binge And The Kite's New LP comes out Valentine's Day on I-don't-give-a-fuck-records.

Bebop Skabotentoten- "I am very excited for America" (0)




















Swahili hip-hop star Bebop Skabotentoten said to a Nigerian interviewer today "I am very excited for America," when asked about his upcoming tour of the east coast. Skabotentoten, 22, recently released his new album "Habari Gani" to universal critical acclaim. Within the first week of release, "Gani" outsold the previous best-selling CD in Nigeria (The Lion King Soundtrack, by 32,000 Naira ($210 USD.) We have our tickets preordered, and we can't wait to see how he does on his first tour of America. His enthusiasm for the states will hopefully translate into the energetic and lively performances that the Nigerian press has so thoroughly chronicled.

Animated Dracula- In the Trunk EP (0)




















1. In the Trunk (2:52)
2. MLK, JR (3:05)
3. Blare/Blaire (2:22)
4. Thanksgiving Day Parade (1:36)
5. Throw Your Sex on The Floor (7:54)
6. Untitled (4:31)

In the debut effort from Ottawa's much-hyped and long-awaited "Animated Dracula," the dance punk duo (made up of Alvin Despot and Eric Harbor) deliver 6 rollicking songs. The first, "In the Trunk," is a sweeping gothic-throwback with surf rock tendencies. Following the title track is the aptly titled, "MLK, JR," a soulful jaunt through the history of African-American music, sampling everyone from the Temptations, to James Brown, to the Black Eyed peas. "Blare/Blare" begins with thunderous technotronic bass, slowly building into the first verse when singer Despot lets out a guttural wail straight out of of horror movie. Next, "Thanksgiving Day Parade" is a short, calliope-themed interlude that sounds as though it was recorded on Coney Island. "Throw Your Sex on the Floor" is clearly the gem of the album, and has recieved widespread college radio play in the Ottawa region. Utilizing an entire orchestra, Despot and Harbor successfully merge Schubert with The Turtles in a psycha-classical epic. Lastly, the Untitled track is a 4 minute masterpiece of white noise, with a looped sample of Despot whispering "Count Me Out" played erratically in both reverse and forward. "Untitled" is sure to be a live favorite. "In the Trunk" falls comes up short in that the songs lack variety, and blend into the monotony of one another. Each song individually is a gem, but strewn together, they fail to stand out from the crowd. A solid debut, we can only hope that Animated Dracula continue to revamp and rework the Ottawa music scene. Out February 10th, 2010 on Dance Eclectic

7.5/10
