Pendulum produce some serious trip beats. Its a mix of the Gorillaz meets Radiohead with a splash of The Faint (I hope my descriptions does them justice cause they rock)
I ain’t mad at this at all! This video is serious.
Another notable mention from these dudes:

Ooops, Wrong Swiss!
“In a time when everyone who isn’t Crookers is claiming to be a “disco act”, there is an insurmountable wash of pretenders. Adelaide trio The Swiss, however, are a legit live disco band who’s existence is based on entirely on flavour and good times rather than the Cobra Snake and fitted caps.” -ModPeople
These dudes are no joke.
Buy their single Bubble Bath on iTunes

During my sets I generally try to drop a couple Vampire Weekend tracks. I dig their tunes but am not a big follower. This morning while reading on one of my favorite blogs La Blogotheque I stumbled upon this Vampire Weekend clip. I can’t complain, the quality of music is good. It just seems as if their trying to highlight the lead singer as a The Beatles Style meets 2010. It’s a bit strange with all the closeups and the girls surrounding him cause he’s so “dreamy”.
With all that said though, I enjoy the tracks… It’s a nice listen but I could do without the “heart-throb” video.

I’m a sucker for info-graphs, Especially design worthy ones. This info-graph on the Genealogy of Pop & Rock Music seems to fit appropriately for this blog. It’s rather difficult to see but its well worth the squint. Click on the file for the massively enlarged version.

I’d like to introduce The Savviness. A project that with the help of some ShrugLife members wouldn’t be what it is today. The Savviness is a mobile-photo blog that we started. The goal of the site is to document the things we see everyday in our lives. The things range from ridiculous people, humor, art, and most importantly personal jokes; all attached with 1 liners for titles. The Savviness has taken great form and acts as a means of communication between our members. We now find ourselves having conversations via our photos. Video support is coming soon!
Our members are:
Alain D. (Myself)
Katerina S.
Marlon Oliva (ARQ)
Matt Pace (Maestro P)
Kristen Oshiro (K!0)
Wei Jerry Chen (DJ Fulltimefun)
Chrissy Leavell (mizzchriss)
Michael Schiano (mrcocochanel)
Matt Sleep
So, feel free to check us out at Thesavviness.info, It’s all in good fun.

Everyone knows that I am a New Wave enthusiast. I think K!O, DJ Fulltimefun, ARQ, & DJ Maestro P can vouch for that during my trance last night at Trophy Bar’s -Joy Division / New Order night. Though, one song they didn’t play was Love Tempo by Quando Quango. I feel like this is a staple for New Wave DJ’s since they were the influence for underground dance from Chicago and New York. Their sounds are still heard throughout production today.
Enjoy it…
