It recently came to my attention that Les Savy Fav, one of my all time favorites, have yet to be posted on Blisspop.com. The quartet recently released “Let’s Get Out Of Here”, an addicting guitar-driven track that has been on repeat on my ipod all week. Oh, and if you’ve never seen Les Savy Fav live, stop whatever you are doing and buy tickets (I promise you will not be disappointed).
Tennis‘ video for “Cape Dory”, the third track off their 7″, is a charming homage to summertime livin’. Mad props to these boat sailing indie-poppers…
NO SCRUBS: 90’s Dance Party began in 2004 as a one-off concept party by friends and DJ partners Will Eastman and Brian Billion. The idea was simple: play both guilty pleasures and underground classics you listened to growing up in the 90’s: Salt N Pepa and Nirvana. Ace of Base and Happy Mondays. The Prodigy and Biggie. By its third edition, the party quickly began to sell out the Black Cat back stage and, later, fill the Cat’s mainstage. Rather than host No Scrubs weekly or monthly, Eastman and Billion insist on keeping the party quarterly and as guilty a pleasure as they want it to be. After another 6-month hiatus, NO SCRUBS is back August 7th. We’re exercising our pleasure groove to Bell Biv Devoe, TLC, C&C Music Factory, Oasis and 2Pac at the spacious 9:30 Club whose sound and light systems are simply incredible. Back in August, the night nearly sold out, so be sure to get there at doors for this special event. Look forward to seeing you there!

Painted Face – Undreamt (mp3)
One of my sisters debut tracks. The start of something great.
Zombies For Money – Sacanagem (mp3)
Gotta just pick one song at random cause I like all the stuff the
Zombies from portugal have been doing. Cannot loose.
Siriusmo – Einmal In Der Woche Schreien (mp3)
Hopefully this track inspires someone to create a video game based on
how good it is.
Uzi Octapus – Shantyman (mp3)
Cutting edge, fresh, musical AND street. Genius.
Four Four- The Eff We Do (mp3)
Why i LOVE soundcloud. Listen to this crazy shit!
The Radio Dept. - Never Follow Suit (mp3)
Their latest album ‘Clinging to a Scheme’ is excellent from beginning
to end. Not one bad note.
Niki Minaj ft. Sean Garrett – Massive Attack (mp3)
Motion sick. So much swing it makes some people feel queazy. When the
bridge kicks in i do the rocky pose.
Computer Magic – Running (mp3)
The subtle sounds of a robot and her computer. Awesome.
I Crave Paris – Aeroplane vs Friendly Fires vs Flight Facilities (mp3)
One day… i hope to be as cool as listening to this song makes me feel.
Polkadots 2010 – Oliver Twitz Remix (mp3)
Im putting this track in because it’s responsible for the whole top
row of keys on my laptop no longer working. Never play this late at
night in a dark crowded room full of people.
Outputmessage is back at it again with a brand new remix of Robyn’s “None of Dem”. This one is most certainly a dance-floor killer and going straight to the top of my summer playlist.
Continually pushing capacity at U Street Music Hall, Will Eastman’s forward-looking dance party, Bliss, returns on Saturday, July 24th with special guest DJs Dominique Keegan and Andrew Jaye.

Its mission statement is to get its patrons in trouble, intoxicated and in love. This time, with fellow Plant Music label mate Dominique Keegan and local DJ Andrew Jaye, Bliss is set to reach a new peak of uninhibited stark raving dancefloor madness.
Saturday, July 24th | 10:00 p.m. – 3:00 a.m. | 18+ | $10 | Tickets here | RSVP Here
Chiddy Bang follow up “Sooner or Later” with a fresh new video for “Dream Chasin’”. Dudes clearly haven’t forgotten how to keep to it real…
With a bit more guitar and a bit less synth, Cut Copy describe their new single “Where I’m Going” perfectly: “[It's] the kind of track Brian Wilson would’ve written if he took ecstasy and hung out in 60′s London instead of California”. The semi-durastic change of pace can be largely attributed to mixer Ben Allen (Animal Collective’s MPP), who is known for his love of ethereal tones and sweeping melodies. Although the band is giving away the single for free, you won’t be able to cop the full album until early 2011.
Welsch trio The Joy Formidable capture the essence of high tempo dance-rock on their debut EP A Balloon Called Moaning. The EP was recorded the band’s basement studio, producing an energy that is often lacking in modern indie-rock. Can’t imagine their live show being anything less than spectacular…
