         <title>Check out:  Fall On Your Sword</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/83COjKukGOM&hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/83COjKukGOM&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>

Electro disco pop direct from Brooklyn.

Totally catchy, and totally weird in the same vein.  If you dig Black Ghosts, you will definitely dig <a href="http://www.myspace.com/therinse">Fall On Your Sword</a>.

I'm looking forward to catching them play live <a href="http://www.sullivanhallnyc.com/calendar/may.htm">tomorrow night (May 1) at Sullivan Hall</a> with <a href="http://www.myspace.com/menyamusic">Menya</a>.  <a href="http://www.ticketweb.com/t3/event/EventListings?pl=cegsulliavn&orgId=21121&REFID=shceg">Tickets are here.</a>]]></description>

         <title>Popstatic presents Kaleidoscope on Samurai.fm</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><img alt="popstatic_profile.jpg" src="http://www.slapyouinpublic.com/Pictures/popstatic_profile.jpg" width="450" height="650" class="mt-image-center" style="text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0 auto 20px;" /></span>
You know that Chicago-based <a href="http://www.myspace.com/popstat">Popstatic</a> is a good friend of ours, you know he's a talented DJ, but you might not know that he's been quietly slaving away on an artfully produced mix series for <a href="http://www.samurai.fm/popstatic/">Samurai.fm</a>.

<a href="http://www.samurai.fm/popstatic/">Kaleidoscope</a> is the perfect name for one of Popstatic's sets, equal parts party and musical education: you can tell the guy knows music inside and out.   I really think you can feel the passion that he puts into his selection coming through the speakers.

<a href="http://www.samurai.fm/popstatic/">Tune in and space out.</a>

Tracklistings for the first two mixes are below.

If you haven't poked around Samurai in while, be sure and check out the other fantastic series from <a href="http://www.samurai.fm/buzzinfly/index.php">Buzzin' Fly</a>, <a href="http://www.samurai.fm/dcrecordings/index.php">DC Recordings</a>, <a href="http://www.allez-allez.co.uk">The Allez-Allez Boys</a> (<a href="http://www.samurai.fm/allezallez/index.php">Samurai link here</a>), and <a href="http://www.samurai.fm/timecapsule/index.php">Greg Wilson</a>.

         <title>The Chap!</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><img alt="mega_big.jpg" src="http://www.slapyouinpublic.com/Pictures/mega_big.jpg" width="500" height="500" class="mt-image-center" style="text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0 auto 20px;" /></span>
Not sure how or why, but the <strong><a href="http://myspace.com/thechap">The Chap's</a></strong> most recent album <em>Mega Breakfast</em> ended up on my Ipod.  

File under wierd...esoteric, genius, lo-fi?

I'd reference Hot Chip in terms of quirky, slightly dancey, firmly leftfield pop music.  Hot Chip also turned in a remix for the band on last year's The Chop, but don't expect any "Over and Over" jams from these guys.  I would say its Dada Pop.

Hop over to Myspace and listen to <a href="http://www.myspace.com/thechap">"Ethnic Instrument"</a> to see what I'm talking about.

Another bit of evidence of the genre defining, electronic pop creativity that seems to be bubbling under in the UK...more on that later.

The album is out now on the delicious <a href="http://www.lorecordings.com/">Lo Recordings</a> (UPDATE: you can actually stream the whole album directly from the Losite).

If you are in the UK, Germany, France, the Netherlands, or Belgium: check below for tour dates.  If you are in the US, just buy the album and send them a note to come visit us.

(Cool appropriation of the Koons dog for their album work, huh?  Anyone gone to <a href="http://www.metmuseum.org/special/se_event.asp?OccurrenceId={5F785871-78A9-41C4-AEDA-773CA0F10F03}">the rooftop of the Met to see them in person</a>?)]]></description>

         <title>Pat Mahoney (LCD Soundsystem) DJs Tonight at 205 Tuesdays</title>

You know why?  Cause its that good. 

<a href="http://www.myspace.com/specialdiscoversion">Mr. Pat Mahoney</a>, drummer extraordinaire and disco DJ, does a rare NYC set tonight with <a href="http://www.myspace.com/205tuesdays">Jacques and Justin</a> down in the basement of 205. 

He's also DJing the <a href="http://websterhall.com/store/product.php?productid=2517&cat=7&page=2">GBH 10 Year anniversary party</a> (w/James Murphy) on May 16th (if you feel like braving Webster Hall on a Friday night).  It might be fun to go and see what that crowd thinks of disco (unlikely bill mates = MSTRKRFT).

         <title>Matthew Dear at American Natural History Museum | Flavorpill One Step Beyond</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><img alt="mattdear.jpg" src="http://www.slapyouinpublic.com/Pictures/mattdear.jpg" width="487" height="647" class="mt-image-center" style="text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0 auto 20px;" /></span>
I've gone to a few of these parties and had a blast.  While the drink situation isn't ideal for us boozehounds (Bud Select = not so-good), everyone freaking out to some proper dance music in a super rad venue is what its all about...

The good people at <a href="http://www.flavorpill.net">Flavorpill</a> have given me <strong>a pair of tickets</strong> to give to you good people for Friday nights slamdown with <strong>Matthew Dear</strong>.  

Now a New Yorker, Dear hasn't wasted any time in destroying any venue that will let him through the doors...

<strike>Email Slapyouinpublic at gmail.com with the subject <strong>One Step</strong> and your name for the guestlist by 9 am on Friday and I'll randomly pick a winner for the tickets.</strike>
If you don't want to try your luck, <a href="http://flavorpill.com/museum-series/one-step-beyond">check out the Flavorpill site for tickets</a>.  While you are there,  I highly recommend the videos and full sets from past One Step Beyond parties.

Jerome Derradji's fabulous <a href="http://www.itstillmusic.com">Still Music</a> label drops in to <a href="http://www.aptwebsite.com/">APT</a> once a month to host some serious crate digging, genre bending nights.

This week Still is putting the legendary <a href="http://www.myspace.com/rontrent">Ron Trent </a>behind the decks for a special <a href="http://www.prescriptionworld.org/">Prescription Records</a> retrospective and preview of his new label <a href="http://www.prescriptionworld.org/">Future Vision</a>....get ready for another sweaty night down in the APT basement.

If you haven't had a chance to pick up Jerome's new compilation on BBE: <em>Jerome Derrajdi presents The American Boogie Down</em>, I<a href="http://www.bbemusic.com/data.pl?release=BBEMP3102"> highly advise buying the download over at BBE</a>.

This is a fantastic collection of boogie from some of those reissues just in time for your summer boogie BBQs.]]></description>

         <title>Wild Combination: A Portrait of Arthur Russell | NYC Screenings</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><img alt="arthur.JPG" src="http://www.slapyouinpublic.com/Pictures/arthur.JPG" width="500" height="436" class="mt-image-center" style="text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0 auto 20px;" /></span>

<a href="http://www.thekitchen.org/">The Kitchen</a>, where <strong>Arthur Russell</strong> was Musical Director and performed many times, is fittingly putting on a weekend of music and film celebrating his life and work from May 15 through the 17th.

I'm very excited to see the docu-film entitled <strong><a href="http://www.arthurrussellmovie.com/index.html">Wild Combination</a></strong> directed by <a href="http://www.mattwolf.info/">Matt Wolf</a>.  I've been waiting for news on an NYC screening for awhile now after watching this more than a few times:

<object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/U5tM1coZr4k&hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/U5tM1coZr4k&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>

On May 15th there will be two screenings with the director, cast, and crew.  <a href="http://www.ticketweb.com/user/?query=search&interface=ticketweb&category=misc&search=Wild+Combination&queryformat=2&region=xxx&genre=none&beginmonth=04&beginday=15&beginyear=2008&endmonth=05&endday=15&endyear=2008&sortorder=0">Tickets are here for those screenings</a>.

On Friday and Saturday evenings, there will be music programs with special guests performing their own versions of Arthur's music.  When I have more info on those guests, I'll let you know.  <a href="http://www.ticketweb.com/user/?region=nyc&query=schedule&venue=1stfloor&next=-2147227122">Tickets for the evening events (which I think include a screening of the film) are here</a>.

Short Summary of the film (Long Summary below):

<blockquote>WILD COMBINATION is director Matt Wolf's visually absorbing portrait of the seminal avant-garde composer, singer-songwriter, cellist, and disco producer Arthur Russell. Before his untimely death from AIDS in 1992, Arthur prolifically created music that spanned both pop and the transcendent possibilities of abstract art. Now, over fifteen years since his passing, Arthur's work is finally finding its audience. Wolf incorporates rare archival footage and commentary from Arthur's family, friends, and closest collaborators--including Philip Glass and Allen Ginsberg--to tell this poignant and important story. </blockquote>]]></description>

         <title>205 Tonight | Mixes Galore</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><img alt="205Apr15.jpg" src="http://www.slapyouinpublic.com/Pictures/205Apr15.jpg" width="500" height="497" class="mt-image-center" style="text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0 auto 20px;" /></span>

<a href="http://www.brooklynvegan.com/archives/2008/04/205_stereo_le_s.html">Despite the rumors</a>, 205 is still rockin.  Tonight <a href="http://www.myspace.com/205tuesdays">Justin & Jacques</a> team up with <a href="http://lovefingers.org/">Lovefingers</a> and Nitedog from LA's <a href="http://blackdisco.net/v2/">Black Disco</a> and turn it out and get weird.

Speaking of Justin & Jacques, they put out a fantastic <a href="http://www.dfarecords.com/radiomixes/spring2008.html">"Modern Mix" on the DFA Radio Mixes page</a> with a ton of nu-house tracks including the monster <em>Brooklyn Club Jam</em>.

Why DFA you say: remember the DFA Color Series party at MoMa on March 1st?  Seems the good folks at MoMa plugged in the tape recorder and got the whole night on DAT.  <a href="http://moma.org/calendar/poprally/17_dfacolorchart.php">Pop over there for slamming sets from <strong>Juan Maclean, Timmy and Timmy (T&T), Holy Ghost!, and of course Justin & Jacques</strong>.</a>]]></description>

         <title>Disco Updates</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><img alt="glasscandy.jpg" src="http://www.slapyouinpublic.com/Pictures/glasscandy.jpg" width="460" height="376" class="mt-image-center" style="text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0 auto 20px;" /></span>
I did <a href="http://www.brooklynvegan.com/archives/2008/04/sporadic_dance.html">a post over at Brooklyn Vegan</a> last week on a few notable items worth reposting here:

<blockquote>Spin did a feature a month or two ago on the resurgence of disco.  Andy from <a href="http://andybetablog.blogspot.com/">Beta Blog</a> did a bunch of interviews with James Murphy, Morgan Geist, Mike Simonetti, Dj Harvey, Johnny Jewel (of Glass Candy), and Thomas of Rub 'n Tug for the piece.  He's printed up the interviews in their entirety on his blog and <a href="http://daughtersofinvention.blogspot.com/2008/02/series-of-interviews.html">Daughters of Invention has the links</a> to all of them in one little piece.  Take some time to read these: all very reccomended. 

Related:  <a href="http://www.spinner.com/2008/03/07/spinner-rpm-metro-area/">Metro Area does a disco mix for Spinner.</a>

A little more recent, <a href="http://www.thefader.com/features/2008/4/8/fader-53-glass-candy">FADER caught up with Glass Candy</a> in Portland and put together a nice profile and a few videos. 

Speaking of FADER, they most properly shed some light on DFA behind the boards producer gone solo Eric B and his <a href="http://www.myspace.com/stickydisc">Sticky Disc</a> record label.  Listen to the fantastic <a href="http://www.thefader.com/articles/2007/11/30/audio-babytalk-keep-on-move">"Keep on Move" over there.</a> 

Glass Candy is on (and Johnny Jewel and Mike Simonetti run) <a href="http://www.myspace.com/italiansdoitbetterrecords">Italians Do it Better</a>, so is <a href="http://www.myspace.com/professorgenius">Professor Genius</a>.  Stream a <a href="http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/download/49790-professor-genius-jean-giraud-1-stream">Professor Genius track over at Pitchfork</a>. </blockquote>

More news on <strong>Sticky Disc</strong> coming up soon...]]></description>

         <title>Woolfy Tonight at 205 Tuesdays thats actually at the ANNEX!</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><img alt="woolfy.jpg" src="http://www.slapyouinpublic.com/woolfy.jpg" width="395" height="636" class="mt-image-center" style="text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0 auto 20px;" /></span>

I love <a href="http://www.myspace.com/woolfys">Woolfy</a>.  You might have heard some of his jams at our parties <a href="http://www.slapyouinpublic.com/2007/10/new_mix_david_bruno_no_way_no.html">or on my last mix</a> (I know, I know I owe you a new one).

Funky, modern disco.  They put out records on NYC's own RONG and Permanent Vacation.  Buy them right now on <a href="https://www.beatport.com/en-US/html/content/artist/detail/47871/woolfy">Beatport</a>!

And they play live!  They aren't tonight, but its gonna be sweet.

Check them rock Chaz's "Glad to Know You" live in LA...
