DINOS FROM OHIO (aka laguna beach)



These waves have been bouncing around the web for a minute. I caught them on The Road Goes Ever On's most recent mix tape. They have a trident of free downloads on their bandcamp and they will seriously mess with your semi-circular canals and the vestibule. I personally suggest the trash castles EP and a kushy couch.

Charlyne Yi

Brent Dalton Clouse went to college with me. I saw him at a ton of the shows I put on and he is currently helping fill my size 13's. All humbleness aside, He has been having some rad opportunities lately. Most recently he got to work with Charlyne Yi doing the lighting for this music video.

COOLTAPES




I have only been aware of this guys tumblr since the spring but both seasonal mixtapes have been really "Cool" I highly suggest checking out the content that he posts and getting all of his mixtapes. Here is his SUMMMMMMER Mix and the Tracklist is available here

Bon Iver: April 3 2008, Taylor University

A few years back I had the privilege to book all of the concerts for my universities cultural enrichment organization. I wasn't always able to document things in the way that I wish I had, but most times someone else captured some photos or maybe even a video or two. The frustrating thing about this is that I hardly ever got a copy of said photo of video. Most of them would end up being lost on the inter-web and most often somewhere on facebook. Photos from facebook are always shrunk and copying them isn't even worth the time and until today I thought it was impossible to download a video. Much like the pictures even when copied the quality of the video is surely much less than it would have been if I'd received a physical copy but at least the sound is pretty descent.

I couldn't be more excited to share this with you. This was definitely my favorite show to host. Justin was so nice and it was pretty great to see him rise to the level he is today.

MISSING TOOF

Photobucket



Back when Blogging was relevant, I was really down with Missingtoof.com and all of their killer synthwave bloghouse jams. I have been contemplating everything radical about 8bit and reminiscing on the days of an OTCBuzz which has lead me to this tribute post. The question I have been asking myself has been, What would Missing Toof blog? Well here it goes:

COSMIC KIDS

Back in May the missing toof twitter posted about a party at The Well in Hollywood. One of the groups performing was none-other than the Cosmic Kids.

Mix #1 by cosmickids


This mix is pretty killer but it isn't really getting to the roots of the 14k diamond studded grill that once was Missing Toof, It's just missing something.

COMTRUISE

This is more like it:




Futureworld (WIP) by Com Truise

She melts - WIP by Com Truise


If you are into those tracks I suggest you pick up the Com Truise Cyanide Sisters EP. Oh yeah, it's FREE.


In it's day Missing Toof was a site that was way ahead of the game, I don't remember repeat content coming from their side of the blogosphere. But while they were mad skilled at posting fresh content they currently, to my knowledge, are NOT posting anything. I do believe I can say that if they were they would have beat everyone to this, but for today my final piece of music that pays homage to Missingtoof.com comes via Friendship bracelet a blogger you all should know.
