le corps mince de francoise: pollution.

dl: LE CORPS MINCE DE FRANCOISE - POLLUTION! (YSI)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Le Corps Mince de Françoise was recently featured on BIGSTEREO. I left a comment stating, "I’m not quite obsessed yet, but I’m extremely intrigued." I may be eating my words soon, much like I'm totally eating up their newest song "POLLUTION!" In fact, I am devouring this shit like some Pringles. I've popped and I just can't stop, and if I could pop-and-lock...I'd make a video of myself doing it to this song and post it on YouTube. I'd proceed to get famous in Helsinki, because that is where Le Corps is from. And if they're not famous there yet, they should be. Mmm...Pringles.

Great minds think alike, as I immediately made the same CSS (Cansei de Ser Sexy) comparison as Travis, perhaps with a little bit of TheDeathSet mixed in. "POLLUTION!" rocks a little bit harder than the peppy vibe of "COOL AND BORED" (listen here), and it's precisely the sort of silly, slightly noisy electro jam that I've been craving. If I don't get a damn dancefloor under my feet right now, people are going to start staring.

bonde do role: quero te amar.

BONDE DO ROLE never wowed me. Their "twisted party vibe full of funk carioca, metal riffs, electro beats and bawdy Portuguese raps" didn't really blow me away. I can't say that I was impressed that they toured with Diplo and Cansei de Ser Sexy. I simply did not care about them.

Well, I didn't care until I heard "Quero te Amar", a song off of their new full-length album With Lasers. I have a thing for Afrika Bambaata and anything with a remotely old-skool electro feel to it...so it was easy to sell me on this one. After a few listens, I learned a very valuable lesson: I should have been wowed from the beginning.

I took a step back and listened to "Gasolina" and "Solta O Frango". It was all good. I took a listen to some tracks off the new album. It was also all good. I don't understand what I was missing before, but I'm glad I finally found it. I began dancing, and it felt good. I guess you sometimes just have to listen to Diplo when he says things are cool. Also, how can you resist that album cover? LASERS!

BLOGWATCH: Chazology brings us the best Yo Majesty "Kryptonite Pussy" remix ever by UMYO. Brugo has Panic! At the Disco covering Nelly Furtado's "Maneater", which is sure to be worth it for the laugh?

summer(?) album preview: paris.

PARIS HILTON hasn't confirmed a release date for her long-due debut album, on which she will attempt to prove to us that she has enough talent to be as famous as she is. Because, well...unfortunately House of Wax and a guest spot on Veronica Mars really don't prove much at all.

With her sex tape and side-kick hacking fiasco left in the past, Ms. Hilton is diving straight into the music industry. Word is that the video for her upcoming single "Stars are Blind" has just finished filming, and the song is set to hit radios this month, so...um...get ready for that.

And I am the man to get you ready for that day! I certainly couldn't let you be the kid who DOESN'T know every word of the song by the time it hits the airwaves. Honestly, can you think of a better way to creep out your friends this summer? I think not! Let's get this shit on your iPod ASAP. Memorize! Memorize! "If you show me real love, I'll show you miiiine"

Despite rumors of several other names, the album will go by the simple title of...Paris. With production credits ranging from Jane Wiedlin to Scott Storch, it will consist of a blend of pop, rock, hip-hop, and "reggae". The album features unlikely guest appearances by both Fat Joe & Jadakiss. Clearly, as my friends Nisha & Crystal pointed out...money can buy you anything. Including a rapper's street cred.
