Friday, March 30th, 2007I Tried But I’m Leaving
Friday, March 30th, 2007Tigercity doesn't beat around the bush. Why should they? Some situtations just don't require subtlety. They need brevity and action. These are areas in which tigercity are champions. No need to string something along. End that shit. I think we could all learn a lesson here.
I like it when songs are written for specific situations. This isn't for breaking up with your longtime girlfriend. This isn't a song about the heartbreak of leaving a soul mate or whatever. It's not about having your heart torn out. It's about getting excited, hooking up, not finding anything there, and moving the fuck on. Done. Just check lines like "Tell me anything you want as I'm walking away." Hate! "It's nothing that you did, no it's everything the other girls do." Hot damn, son. That is hateful.
Each new song I hear from TigerCity is better than the last. They're really nailing down their formula. It's a real combination of current sounds without sounding too much like any one thing or any one band. They're clearly working hard at getting better, and I'm definitely stoked to hear their upcoming EP this summer. I'm told they're wrapping up recording in the next two weeks, which is nice to hear.
They've got a show tomorrow night in NYC at Gramercy w/Birdmonster (a real fucking robots sandwich, that one). And then again on the 11th of April at the Bowery w/Junior Boys. Not bad, kids. Not bad. This song was even posted on rolling stone.com yesterday. Wild.

Friday, March 30th, 2007Sexual Earthquakes In Kobe + Toxic Avenger
Thursday, March 29th, 2007
Holy shit Toxic Avenger is taking over. I think this is the third Toxic Avenger remix posted on BIGSTEREO in the past month… which might be some kinda record. This latest remix is of a little band from France that is gonna blow up big. Sexual Earthquakes In Kobe sort of have the electro frat boy thing going on that sounds like a cross between Test Icicles and Best Fwends. Totally irreverent, almost bad even, but so good at the same time. This is the anthem: Dance music is my life. Dance music forever. Uh huh.

Love the rap part in the original… it hits you.
