fringe master

Here's Atlas Sound, cooking up an intimate 4-course internet release of recordings done in the past month or so. They're dubbed Bedroom Databank and are absolutely necessary if you care about the internet, generation y, nostalgia, independent recording or anything Bradford Cox has touched. It's all over the place, so there's no point in breaking down the "vibe" of any particular volume or categorizing according to purpose (dozetime/worktime/walktime/freakouttime/xanextime, etc)- just dive in via whimsy. This man has a beautiful brain, and I'll be first in line when it becomes an experience ride at postmodern disneyworld.

CATCH THIS MIX #6: LIFE IMPROV!

evening, citizens.
the sixth elephantitis mix of this season is dedicated to life improv! what? its what my therapist calls those moments that you are totally wild and all those evil little deliberations are gone and you do weird honest awesome stuff, like do little dances because you just remembered that kitten youtube video you saw last night, or do facial exercises in public, or spontaneously sprint, or ditch class because its perfect whistling weather. it sounds like being drunk but its not, we swear. also for the record, I have always hated the word improv because it reminds me of being a chronically shy 8 year old forced to join the JCC summerstock. but I made an exception in this case. I tried to put songs on here that you might be happy to get stuck in your head or get super excited to try and cover. thus, per usual, tis a mixed bag, and rightly so, as there very well might be something for anyone. they're in no particular order because they're meant to stand on their own. skip around! or whatever.
beep! many snuggles to you.

watch this goddamn film


Watch more free documentaries

"I had become obsessed with Eugene. That's what it was. One drunken car ride with him in the summer of 2004 and I could not get him out of my mind. He was loud and obnoxious but with a passion I rarely saw in men I have known. He serenaded me with Gypsy songs, and enchanted me with his spirit. I needed more time with him but sadly, Eugene did not need me. He was after all the lead singer of New York's notorious Gypsy Punk band, Gogol Bordello, with no shortage of female fans. Like a woman possessed I played my final card, and appealed to the only thing I could: his ego. 'I'll make a film about you' I proposed and to my delight, he agreed" --PAVLA FLEISCHER

I...there's nothing much to say about this. It is so dreamy that I almost can't watch it. He's despicably perfect and she's a genius
