Though they've never played much of a part in my life, THE CHEMICAL BROTHERS have a new compilation album out called BROTHERHOOD that may be of interest to some of you. Listening through, I was reminded of why they've never played much of a part in my life. But the two tunes below seemed worthy of at least some small segment of our attention today.... THE CHEMICAL BROTHERS on MySPACE ...
Sick tracks by The Chemical Brothers, a very underrated artist. They've been around for a long time and have lots of sick beats like these... Galvanize is not the only one!boomp3.comboomp3.com
Me. Front row. Paul McCartney.Me. In front of the speakers, getting my ears blown out during Chemical Brothers DJ set.Me. Crowd surfing at M.I.A.Me. Taking a breather during Fleet Foxes.Me. Going nuts during Yeah Yeah Yeahs when they play "Zero" and some old stuff.Me. Dancing like all 80s during the Cure.Me. Wearing earplugs during My Bloody Valentine.You. You going?
Still in the mood for loud and drummy. Tonight's playlist was an eclectic one, including The Clash, Frank Zappa, and even Billy Idol (my secret guilty pleasure back in the day). Gonna wind down with this one, found in my ITunes, don't know anything about the band. but I like it=)
There have been three times I have seriously hurt my eardrums, two of them being after Chemical Brothers shows. The DJ duo will release their first "best of," Brotherhood, on September 2nd. Not that it's long over due or anything (13 years and 9 million record sold). The double-disc includes 13 classic Chem Bro tunes, plus the new digital singles "Midnight Madness" and "Keep My Composure" with...
Imagine going to a festival and seeing a sign like this hanging up next to the stage: "While we are not at this stage linking the death to the misuse of drugs, intelligence sources, police and security operators have identified and arrested a number of drug dealers within the event."That's what happened at the DJ and electronica heavy Gatecrasher festival over the past weekend. Held in Northham...
I literally just started jumping up and down for joy in my living room. What makes any festival worth it in my book? A set from the Chemical Brothers who've just been added to this year's Coachella line-up. Tickets are still far from being sold-out, as a commercial for the fest mentioned last night while I watching Kimmel. In addition to the Chemical Brothers, who do not have any other shows sc...

Due to a delay with album artwork, the release of their upcoming album, We Are The Night, has been postponed until July 2nd. not too bad, and definitely worth it, check out the resulting cover art:The Chemical Brothers' We Are The Night:3.

In my double-life as a jet-setting music enthusiast, I would definitely be in London (again, London... sigh.) 6 and 7 and 9 September to enjoy two different audio-visual sensory-immersive events at the ICA. On Thursday the 6th, Matthew Herbert will provide the audio for Joji Koyama's video, Alexis Taylor (Hot Chip) will be paired with Brian Degraw (Gang Gang Dance), and Max Hattler will show h...
8/10.Do It AgainWhile Bjork's collaborators on the excellent Volta gleam with pristine of-the-moment-ness, the guest list for this equally fine sixth album by her fellow early Nineties dancefloor survivors has a lovably dusty look about it. There can be no ulterior motives for cameo appearances from Willy Mason or Fat Lip from the Pharcyde at this stage in the game, and even the slightly more m...
Doing this synthetic type of alpha-beta psychedelic funkin'?The Chemical Brothers, of course.Continuing a theme of big-beat electronica I started Wednesday night, here's my all-time, may never change, favorite Chemical Brothers song. Note: this is not the song that first made me take notice of the Chemicals, that would be "Setting Sun".And, in case you didn't know, the gymnast is none other tha...

Chemical Brothers tour dates:September 21: New York, NY Hammerstein Ballroom September 22: Brooklyn, NY McCarren Pool September 24: Chicago, IL Ri...
Back in my younger days, when I was going out to the clubs a bit more, The Chemical Brothers' Dig Your Own Hole was on heavy rotation in the places I frequented. This was fine, as it is one of the greatest electronic albums of all time. While songs like "Setting Sun" and "Block Rockin' Beats" garneres all the attention, the rest of the album was just as good, and in some cases bette.r My pic...
