out of tune

This new Real Estate song takes their music to a different place–as complacent and calm as their past work but much more mature and high-fidelity. This will be out as a 7-inch on True Panther Sounds on 10/12.

winterreview

It’s been a while since I’ve lost sleep in anticipation of Christmas Day goodies. As a kid, thoughts of the Transformers Dinobots and Legos were usually the culprit. This year: The Underwater Peoples Winter Review. Seriously, I ran to the computer and downloaded this before I even took a glimpse at any wrapped boxes. After some quality headphone time, we would like to share this awesome compilation over airwaves (um, internet airwaves) from cover to cover. Since our episodes are 16 tracks long (the comp being only 15), we thought it fitting to lead off with MJ’s “Human Nature”. Head to Indie-Verse for the broadcast and, when you’re done, download the entire thing free (for a limited time) at Chocolate Bobka’s.

Have a few snaps here from last weekend’s Real Estate show at City Tavern. Although the set seemed short (40 min), they tore through every song (“Black Lake” included) that I wanted to hear. Plus, I was able to grab an “only available on tour” piece of vinyl including live recordings at WMUA and WVKR.

real estate live @ city tavern 11.28.09

Tomorrow night Parade of Flesh will be presenting one of my favorite acts of this year, Real Estate. Nestled deep in the heart of cosmopolitan Downtown Dallas, The City Tavern is sandwiched between d-bag sausage factories like Club Plush and Clear “Ultra”lounge but is actually one of the few down to earth bars left in the area. However, the rich tones and palatial soundscapes of Courtney and co. will be more than enough reason to brave walking amongst a sea of LA Looks and Ed Hardy bros. Real Estate is set to go on stage at midnight, but the venue is so small I’ll be getting there early to hold a seat down. 21 + only and it’l cost you 5 bucks at the door.

Our fourth episode will, not only, have some great new tracks up (from Beach House, Brilliant Colors, and Total Slacker) but we are also having a contest. Just use these easy to follow steps and we will send you a unique cassette tape of today’s show sans commentary, of course. We are also including a “one-of-a-kind” hand designed sleeve for the cassette. Cool, right? Well, whether you think so or not just email us at weeklytapedecktix@gmail.com with the artist name and title of the very last song in our rotation. First person to do so is the winner! Honestly, it’s not incredibly hard to name but contests are fun and so are mix-tapes so use yr ears. Tune in to Indie-Verse, listen, and get a cool cassette. ALSO! Don’t forget to catch Neko Case tonight at the Granada Theater. Tracklist after the jump.

[video] real estate//black lake (live)

I should probably have a permanent decal on the side of my page linking to Chocolate Bobka’s always amazing live footage. My twitter feed was completely stuffed all weekend with CMJ updates and I was constantly reminded how everyone was “KILLING IT”. While I wasn’t there (obviously) McG and Co. truly capture the essence of what I missed and this should be evident in their live recording of Real Estate’s “Black Lake”. –which, by the way, is probably my fav RE jam.

frat dad//freak in nature

Underwater Peoples is on a roll with their latest signings; Frat Dad is a perfect example of this good fortune. Coming from the same magical land as “The Boss,” this duo manifests a psychedelic cacophony of melodies that invite you to sing-a-long in delight. The band only has one show coming up which is the Underwater Peoples Showcase in Brooklyn next week, which is sure to be a veritable monsoon of dischord as it features Ducktails, Real Estate and Beach Fossils to name a few. I suggest if you are in the area, you take full advantage of this wonderful show.

weekly mixtape

weekly-tapemix-3-no-overlay

Maybe you noticed, maybe you didn’t but there was no mixtape last week. Can’t exactly tell you why, but all you need to know is that this week is completely different than last. Guess it’s a good thing that this particular wrap up will include tracks from more than one week, right? Starts off fast and hard like punch in the face and ends up soft and smooth while the swelling subsides.

Birthday Suits – It’s About Time
Lovvers- Ocd Go Go Girls
Black Math – Part of Me
The Big Pink – Velvet
The Shivers – Just Didn’t Need To Know
The xx – Basic Space
Pill Wonder – What We Know
Happy Family – Cups
Real Estate – Beach Comber
A Sunny Day in Glasgow – Ashes Grammar/Ashes Maths
Universal Studios Florida – Frozen Bayou (feat. Alaska)
Dirty Beach – Low Rider
A Grave With No Name – Open Water

weekly mixtape//hold yr breath

oldmanpool copy

There’s something about plunging into a crisp swimming pool that makes me feel completely isolated from the masses in my surroundings. The images in my chlorine filled eyes are familiar yet not completely defined, a mash up of chatter (which I’m, most likely, not interested in) is almost completely filtered out through the water, and I’m completely floating in a medium where the normal rules of gravity don’t apply. More themed than most of my mixtapes, these tracks (which also happen to be new/ish) are nearly as muffled as the bros in the pool crowd. And Robin, I gots that jj for ya.

FINALLY: No, this isn’t the podcast, yet, but I’ve included a link to download this weeks mixtape in its entirety. Enjoy!

*****Download Hold Yr Breath Here*****
