On Blast! Oberhofer - Gold

Just discovered Brad Oberhofer via Hypem and I’m digging his sound. Very catchy! I’m kinda wishing I lived in NYC as I’d be at his Brooklyn show tonight (@ Death By Audio).

On Blast! Patrick Wolf - Hard Times (Jack Beats)

So I’ve been listening to this track for a while now and I’m not sure why I haven’t posted an On Blast! for it yet. It’s standing up to the test of time so I wouldn’t be surprised if I’m considering it come the end of the year for best remix. This is definitely one of the cases where the remix surpasses the original; so kudos to Jack Beats!

On Blast! The Drums - Down By The Water

EP Out on August 4th 2009

So if you’re into good music, which you are if you’re reading this, then you’re going to enjoy The Drums. This brooklyn band is poised to make a name for themselves this year and I believe they’ll do just that. They’ve been able to successfully meld genre influences from several decades together to create wonderfully fresh pop music.

The Drum’s EP drops next month on August 4th (Sept. 15) on Twenty Seven Records. I’m already predicting they’ll be on many a Best of 2009 list come the end of the year.  Their track ‘Down By The Water’ is available at their Myspace Page.  (Sorry, I looked high and low for an mp3 but couldn’t find one).   I’ve posted another terrific track here instead.

On Blast! Discovery - Orange Shirt

Holy New R&B POP Rock Batman! Introducing Discovery. I’ve heard a couple of songs of their up-coming album… and wow! Upbeat and unapologetic rhythmic pop in all its glory. Discovery is a collaborative project from Ra Ra Riot’s Wes Miles and Vampire Weekend’s Rostam Batmanglij. Their debut LP simply titled LP comes out July 7th on XL Recordings. I believe ‘Orange Shirt’ is officially the first single and its definitely On Blast!

On Blast! Asher Roth - I Love College (Kid Static Remix)

Asher Roth

So Mr. Roth has is share of haters (e.g. Pitchfork) AND his share of dick riders (e.g. NME) so I’ll leave him alone and play it neutral. I mean, I’ve yet to even audition his album. I will however state for the sake of full disclosure and for whatever else its worth, that I have no intention of auditioning his album.

Hype and sike aside, I can’t deny that this dubstep mix of ‘I Love College’ is sick.  Swine Flu Sick!
