See post title.







THEY ARE ALL SO HAUNTING FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKITS SO GOOD



reminds me of the smiths. a lot.

What dreams are made of. (I'm SO JELLY)

Great Dreams are made of Daft Punk and other people doing stuff together. Wet dreams are daft punk doing shit by themselves, this is why I've got my fingers crossed for a new album before I am too old to consume the amount of drugs that would be ideal for their N. American tour. That however, is really neither here nor there.
So lets set the stage here:
Phoenix played a show at Madison Square Garden last night. Now I like Phoenix, a lot. I always wondered how their first few albums flew under my radar, because its a sound that is as fresh now as it was a decade ago, and I was into that kind of music enough to appreciate by, oh lets say, 05 (OH FIVE OH FIVE).

I am getting off topic, so phoenix played a show at MSG, and who should show up for the encore but my favorite two french men/robots! At this point I would literally be sobbing like those teenage girls you see in old black and white footage of Beatles concerts. Daft punk performed Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger and switched over to around The World towards the end of this video. Phoenix played 1901 with Daft Punk doing some back up...awesomeness. Anyways, just another thing I would have punched ANY ONE OF YOU in the face to go see (gladly).



This is when they start


This is the same thing, but doesnt go as far, beter quality though


the first one overlaps a bit with this

but this follows it all the way through phoenix doing 1901 and has pretty damn good audio for what I am assuming is a digital camera or an iphone. In other words IF YOU ARE GOING TO WATCH ONE OF THESE IT MIGHT NEED TO BE THIS ONE.

FINALLY

This is them rocking out together to the end, and finally, a group bow to the audience. Its weird to see live concert footage of them standing at the front of the stage so well lit.


It really seems like there was a lot of musical respect going on there. They both play backup for the other, and there isnt any show stealing. Well...other than the unavoidable show stealing that Daft Punk being on stage creates.

Alright, well there you go!

Someday I will see them.

Someday.

Song of the day

I am FOR SURE not consistent/decisive/(*insert positive character trait*) enough to put up ONE DEFINITIVE song of the day. Today however, I am.
It is this.
This is it.
Your boy loves this track
and that aint bullshit (Horton Voice)

4 girls from LA (super original right?) laying down some subtle sexy laid back tunes. It's nice, like being underwater in a hot tub. I've seen it all over the place, so I bet a lot of you have too. Here it is again!



Undertow - Warpaint by HayleyRD

A quick break from the grind.

Another productive day of studying (no, really, it was) and I am ready to unwind with some banger jams and a flippin smoke.

first off, this is an oldie but I felt like posting it just in case you hadn't heard it. I can't say I'm all that in love with the original song, but this is a BANGER remix.

Faker - This Heart Attack (Miami Horror Remix) by Jixxy

Big up to SP the ghost and his electronic oriented musical tastes. Dude put me on to the bloody beatroots and I am glad he did this song is ridiculous.

The Bloody Beetroots - Fucked From Above 1985 by annepereira.

Ooooh and he showed me this too

CUTS

annnnnnnnnnd this is old but its fucking hilarious and awesome.

**SPOILERS**
























=)


He got her back, and shes pregnant. fuck yeah man.

Just a few songs to start the week off

I heard this about 20 minutes ago. Its amazing. I absolutely adore it.


Dudes name is Chris Mansfield. He's a Seattle boy, an awesome looking one at that. No homo.


'guess i got just what i wanted
we're both alone at my dad's house
and now's my chance to finally kiss you
but i got drunk and i passed out

i'm fucking up i'm fucking up i'm fucking up everything'

oh lordy I've been there. I guess I just have to learn to live with the fact that I will never know what could have been if I hadnt gotten so drunk...or thought of something clever to say.


AFTER THE FACT EDIT:
Just realized that the sara quinn featured on this song is the same sara from Tegan and Sara. This makes me love it a million times more, as she and her sister are two of the coolest people I have had the pleasure of seeing live (three times).

mmmmmmmm sooooooooooooooogoooooooooooooooooooooood

=)


Of every song on Macklemore and Ryan Lewis's 'VS.' EP I cant say that I adore any other half as much as 'Otherside.' That's saying a lot when you consider how much I like the rest of the tracks. This remix is super minimalistic. They dropped the sample, and at first it felt almost eerily quiet. Its a testiment to Macklemore's work that he can carry a track that's (almost) accapella and still make it sound like some serious studio on-the-album shit. Fences (see above post) does some great vocal work on the hook. All in all, I think its sick, and I think its worthy of having Macl's verses from Otherside on it. Cant wait to hear the other remixes.

Tracks for an afternoon on the day after tuesday

JUST SO YOU KNOW: You can downoad tracks that I post like the ones below by cliking the arrow that points down on the right side of the box they play in.
(I realized that might be worth mentioning to those of you that are beating your head against your keyboards because you want to put these songs on your ipod SO BAD but cant figure out how to download them. It's coo, I gotcha.

The War on Drugs's new track is enough to make the most dedicated city boy crave the country side, white horses, and a glass of watered down whiskey sloshing around in a dirtyglass/jug with three X's on it/leather boot.

Or it could just be me.
Comin' Through - The War On Drugs by musicmanners

I'm a little confused that it says Travis barker featuring the cool kids. Feels like it should be the other way around. Cool Kids come once again sounding harder than diamonds without rapping about shit to make themselves sound harder than diamonds. If you don't know them, peep the second track down, it goes hard. I showed this song to my boy Mundro back in the day, he will probably really appreciate me saying that.

Travis Barker - Jump Down (feat. The Cool Kids) by Insoportable Magazine
The Cool Kids - Black Mags by CarlitosLion

I don't know much about the music scene in Austrailia, I'm afraid I am guilty of making the assumption that every band down there has Russel Crowe's crazy ass it. Besides, who wants to listen to a bunch of descendants of rapists and killer whine about how they burned the "shrimp on their barby." Unnecessary stereotyping aside, this track from the Aussie duo Gypsy and the Cat is pretty dope, although, half the reason I am posting the original is because if you are like me, you don't want to listen to a remix of a song unless you know where it's coming from.

The Piper's Song by robbie fitz

Kind of a laid back passion pit sound, its nice. Anyway, the remix cuts into the original track with some real rainbow colored synth and light guitars. Makes me wanna go ride a Kangaroo.

Also I formally apologize to Fergus Brown, who is awesome, and very much an Austrailian. Even if he read this though, he would probably be too busy getting into your girlfriends pants to care.

The Piper's Song (Aeroplane Remix) by Thechickendonut

Let me inform you, in case you didn't know. I fucking love Lil Boosie. He transcends the few things I dont like about the genre of rap he belongs to.

"Watch my back, hold my forty while I drive, when I fuck you with no rubber coz i love you deep inside, girl"

Yup.

No soundcloud link, but you can listen to and DL the track at
http://trapsntrunks.com/?p=17194

Saharan Gazelle Boy.

I know nothing about this band, and have nothing to say about them. This song is a banger joint though.



Thats all for right now. I'm compiling a big list of entire albums to post on here, I know its a lot of work to hear a song you like, and then have to go find the place to download it, and then download it. Especially if you suffer from GOTIS, also known as Girl On The Internet Syndrome.

No thanks needed ma'am, just doin my job.

Also Annie Hall is a hilarious film and I reccomend you go watch it.

and also Chinatown.

and also Rear Window.

-PBRobot

Dont you love it when people come together for something important?

Fuck a cause, I'm talking artist packed collabo videos like the one from A-Trak and Amand Van Helden, known when together as Duck Sauce. Check out appearances from Santolgold, Kanye, Yelawolf, Diplo, P Thug [from Chromeo], Pharrel, and ya'boy from Vampire Weekend. Check it out, Barbara Streisand by Duck Sauce.




EDIT: and ?uestlove [my bad bro].

Monday Mix

Alright party people, lets try and start this week off right with what I hope will be some new music that you may have never heard of before! It's OK, you can thank me later, I'm quite partial to v neck shirts, colorful jeans, and Marlboro cigarettes.

HINT HINT HINT

Also, It must be getting close to midterms, because I didn't go to sleep last night.



Here's the new Deerhunter track off their upcoming album Halcyon Digest. Its nice, casual and chill. Cold/Sunny day music.

Helicopter - Deerhunter by musicmanners

AND as a bonus, here is a suuuuuuper dope remix.
Deerhunter - Helicopter (STAR SLINGER REMIX) by Star Slinger





The new arcade fire is pretty damn bangin. I still cant order the albums from most to least liked, but maybe that isnt the worst thing in the world. This track has been getting pretty substantial rotation on my itunes, let me know what you think.

Arcade Fire - Ready to Start by Humbertosilva

You can download the entire album here on mediafire:
Arcade Fire - Suburbs



I dont know these guys except for this song, but its pretty cutty.

The Fresh & Onlys - Waterfall by The Wounded Jukebox

Here's a new track from a band called Small Black off their new album. It kind of reminds me of the black kids without such a lead singer presence, and with less androgyny...Its good anyways though.

Small Black - Search Party by Xerek

This is a bit of a throwback, but I rediscovered it today, it was the first song I heard by Crystal Castles and really got me into their sound. Shit.Is.Sick.


LAST BUT NOT LEAST, another track from Bag Raiders, because I cant stop playing their shit.





LAST ONE FOR NOW!

Completely forgot about my girl Regina

This is where I struggle to say what I am trying to say. I would love to be able to communicate how much I adore Regina Spektor's music, but it is a difficult thing to do. It certainly isn't for every mood, and I don't listen to it when I am being social or having a ball with my friends. I don't listen to it to fall asleep, and I don't listen to it when I am sad. Yet, it still finds a place, a little niche in my life, where it fits in quite perfectly.

Her new album Far feels very much to a me a continuation of Begin to Hope. It's a farther depart from Soviet Kitsch. Certainly more polished and a little more intense, in a less static and messy kind of way. It's good. This is (unless I am mistaken) the single, it's fucking radical.

02 Eet- regina spektor by paperbacks

If you're interested, Here's the link for the entire album . Hope you enjoy it!

Tracks to bump while you get bent tonight.

Well another Friday has reared is potentially beautiful head and your boy(robot) is here to assist with your reckless drinking and banger bumpery.



I haven't quite reworked this equation, but it seems like a step in the right direction. That said, I consider anyone collaborating with daft punk on anything a step in the right direction. Say its not true I dare you.



Not to sure about all those white girls though. That's kind of....weird.

ANYWAYS, putting weird groups of white bitches behind us. Here's the new(ish) Kanye track with Common Pusha T Kid Cudi Big Seal and Charlie Wilson

Kanye West - Good Friday (feat. Common, Pusha T, Kid Cudi, Big Sean & Charlie Wilson) by waveofsounds

Pretty damn bumpy.

HAPPY FRIDAY BRUH!

Song(s) of the day: ಠ_ಠ edition

So during the excessive drinking of cheap beer and whiskey that occured last night, Ripper put me on to a couple new bands. One of them you see above. His explanation of Bag Raiders was that they were just like daft punk - Two guys, french, making house(ish) music and being awesome (see them riding on top of flying cars in video below for proof). So far I am DIGGIN. It's just the right amount of everything and I cant help but bounce to it.






AND ALSO THE DEATH SET

because they are always relevant. God this song is dope.



So is Chromeo



I am coming to the conclusion that I need to start planning my blog updates better. or at least keep to some kind of theme

Happy Listening Space Cowboy

Karen O Country Cover

Karen O did a country song, its a cover. I fucking love covers.
Thanks to (found on) Some Kind of Awesome for the link.

Karen O. (of Yeah Yeah Yeahs) - "If You're Gonna Be Dumb, You Gotta Be Tough" by Some Kind of Awesome

So.
FUCKING.
CUTE.

Karen you beautiful work of art.

Cant wait to show this to my own little lady, she loves country and rot gut whiskey, so this should be just right for her.

Bon Iver not featuring Kanye West

As you may or may not be aware, our multi talented friend and musical genius Justin Vernon has been in the lab collab'n with Kanye West lately. Im not putting that down, but I thought it might be nice to give my hypothetical readers a chance to hear some stuff by them they may not be aware of. For Emma Forever Ago is an exceptional album, and you should go out and listen to it. This is not it.

This is the Blood Bank EP he put out in 2009. The title track makes my heart hum. Its fucking radical.
Youtube Vid below, Link Below that. Peep.

Y'know what, fuck it, heres a track with him and yeezy

Song(s) of the day: hip hop edition

I give you Mac Miller. The quintessential high school hip hop head, too talented for his lyrical content but making it OK because he is only 17 and lets be honest, his life really does consist primarily of Nike kicks, smoking weed, gaming on girls, and all the other beautiful little activities that go hand in hand with city living. Dude has flows.



Ive checked out his mixtape, its super dope, lot of old school "New-York-in-the-90's" beats (see above.) Titled K.I.D.S. (kickin incredibly dope shit), it beats pretty hard and any real hip hop head can appreciate it, even if they don't really love it.

Next up:



Chiddy Bang, you've probably heard of your boy if you spend any time blog hopping for new music. THe online community seems to be quite taken with him, and I am as well. Patiently awaiting a real mix tape, it should be sick


&


Sincerely,
PabstBoyRobot

No updates in forever, fucking sick.

Well here you go, new tracks/albums to blast.



The new Brandon Flowers has been steady blastin in my super shitty headphones lately. Its got a real weird feel of new age Bruce Springsteen. Its very honest and upfront about being an album that, more than anything else, is about American people living lives in the nooks and cranny of what one could consider Real America. No city scapes or subway stops here, just good old fashioned sacred highways from Nogales to Magdalena. Its good, I hope you take the time to listen and maybe enjoy it.

NEXT:

Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti- Bright Lit Blue Sky



Not too sure what to say about this, it's weird. Heard the track from a friend. Looked up the band and I liked what I heard. It's got a old surf rock vibe to it. With the full back up singers on the chorus. I might only be labeling it like that because the guitars have kind of a shreddy thing going. Anyways, I'm sure this will be sort of hit or miss for most everyone that listens, lemme know what you think.


Speaking of surf sounds...



BEST COAST! I would imagine these gals will be popping up all over the fucking place before too long, so I may as well associate myself with their music early to earn myself some hipster points. Try to imagine grunge rock originating not in Seattle, but in the sunny surf oriented culture of california. Lots of guitar feedback and reverb muddle an upbeat style of laid back surf rock. Picture Kobain as a girl, on a good day, eating a bowl of lucky charms. There ya go. Peep game, yo.

Download Best Coasts "Crazy For You"


I'll end this on a familiar note, I would imagine that anyone reading this, assuming anyone reads this, would have a solid idea about what Matt and Kim are about musically. Their new track hits hard just the ones from their previous album, but has a real swagger to it that certainly wasn't their in their previous work. I wont get into it to much, but I highly recommend you check it out.
