AIRBRUSHED!!!!!!!!

Anamanaguchi is buzzing right now because they contributed to the soundtrack for the Scott Pilgrim video game. I can’t really describe how much I like their music, both in concept and in practice. The sound chip in the NES is one of my favourite sounds ever; even with a modern band combining it perfectly with drums and guitar, it still takes me right back to those good ol’ halcyon days when I was an indestructible little kid.

But now I’m a grown up indestructible man with a blog, and I’ve got to show you THIS:

Anamanaguchi – Airbrushed (acoustic, live in Toronto)

Anamanaguchi | A Take Away Show | Airbrushed from La Blogotheque on Vimeo.

The band switches up their electric guitars for acoustics here for a La Blogotheque take-away show, during NxNE in Toronto. A random guy charges out of the door early on in the video and seems to be caught off guard by a live band performing right outside. Anamanaguchi drops BOMBS, and you can listen to Dawn Metropolis, their latest album, HERE.

NO TROUBLE AT ALL!!!!!!!!!

September here kids. The summer’s wrapping up really fast, and I’m sorry to see it go but ONWARD AND UPWARD! Q4 2009! Let’s do this thing!

Anamanaguchi is playing RIGHT NOW at the Penny Aracade festival in Seattle. I’d love to see them perform live, but I bet the crowd at PAX would smell funny and be unpleasantly warm. Let’s enjoy them at a safe distance; This is Anamanaguchi – Dawn Metropolis. You can hear the guitar pretty well in this track, a nice touch that sets them apart from strictly-chiptunes outfits.

Bcee makes groovy mellow D&B tracks, and I want to share one called Generations: the title track off his 2009 EP. I heard it described as a “deeper, more chilled kind of track that probably wouldn’t do too well on the dance floor”. I liked that description because you could probably say the same about me. HAH. Listen to Bcee – Generations @ zshare.

I also really like this Chairlift – Bruises (Passion Pit remix), and I bet you will too. Enjoy the rest of your long weekend!
