So, I wake up yesterday morning and I realize, almost immediately, that I needed a new cd to listen to on the drive to work. For a couple days I had been listening to R.L. Burnside's Come On In, which was great, but we were getting to the fifth or sixth play-through, and it was getting a little stale, you know. So, whatever, I need a new cd in order that I might be able to tolerate the ten minute drive to work. I dig through one of the boxes that I have yet to unpack a... MORE

My review of The Go! Team's new album Proof Of Youth is now up at Blogcritics Magazine. Here's an excerpt:
With the release of their debut album Thunder, Lightning, Strike, The Go! Team created a unique, high-energy sound that featured everything from cheerleader chants and hip-hop to banjos and harmonicas. The group keeps that sound and tweaks it a bit for Proof Of Youth, their sophomore release. While the freshness of their sound has worn off a little bit, this album i... MORE

I just found about The Avalanches and I'm really into this Sampling stuff like The Go! Team. Anyone know any similar artists?

So, on my second full day I first went to the National Museum and found out that from all the non-modern art I like the Ashcan Artists the most and that I like portraits artists made of rich people the least. (they painted portraits for money so there is no thought behind it, and I don't fancy that) Anyway, in the evening I went to the heart of London, to the Astoria building for NME's Freshers Tour, where Operator Please, Satin Peaches, and The Go! Team would perform. O... MORE

The Go! Team's cd Proof of Youth was released today. It included a bonus disc with 3 more songs and a remix of Grip Like a Vice.
I like this song, it kind of has that TLS vibe going on. Heavy on the cheerleading.

On "Proof of Youth," The Go! Team's a mish-mash fever dream of summer. It's 100 degrees outside, that supernatural heat that burns pavement & skin and causes illusions, delusions. Causes you to recall summers you've never had, that no one's ever had, that we all construct from pop culture and accidentally remember fondly. The Go! Team is colorful short shorts & hipster knee socks. "Proof of Youth" is me with a pistol, you with roller skates, and together? Well, we're on ... MORE

American fans of Go! Team will receive an extra incentive to purchase the album when it drops this September 11th. That incentive comes in the form of an extra EP, which will be comprised of B-sides that have only been released overseas. So what do UK fans get? well... nothing aside from the fact that they can purchase the album 24hrs earlier. This extra EP treat will only be included in the initial pressing run of the album, so if you want it, plan on buying your copy ear... MORE

Michael Cera and friend Clark Duke have created a show of sorts, to debut on the internet on May 26th. It has a lot of Arrested Development cameos. This is my favorite of the two previews because of the use of The Go! Team song Huddle Formation. I love when it starts up right with that freeze frame of them in mid-jump on the beach. And Mitch Hurwitz's first few lines are awesome.

I'm very grateful to max (http://mog.com/max) for hipping me to this awesome band. I just wanted to let all Go! Team fans know, old and recent converts like me, that the band has signed to Sub Pop and that their new album, Proof of Youth, comes out September 11 (a day earlier in the U.K.). From Pitchfork:http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/news/43679-the-go-team-sign-to-sub-pop-name-album As previously reported, the album will be heralded by two advance singles on M... MORE

The Go! Team has me hooked. I've only heard one song, Lady Flash, but it's dense with layered samples and instruments on top. It's so well put together it's hard to tell which parts are the band and which are samples. I haven't heard any indie electronic pop this well done. It's luciously poppy, shake your ass kind of music. Well chosen samples and the lead female vocals exceed most I've heard recently. Plus it sounds like it was all recorded in someone's garage. ...

Well, autumn is here. It's effing cold, the sky is grey and I feel like hibernating. At such times, I set my iTunes to Random and wait for some kind of inspiring, uplifting song to appear. This time, I got a result that I didn't expect - I only had The Go! Teams' "Thunder Lightning Strike" for a short time, and until yet didn't find the time to listen to it. Then "Bottle Rocket" came along, and this song rocks so hard I almost feel like it's squat in the middle of summer.
