New Black Dice



My little excursion into noise the other day via Wolf Eyes left me intrigued. Could I actually enjoy such a genre of music? The answer is, yes. I like to be challenged when I listen to music, yet maybe a band like Black Dice are a better gateway drug to ease me in. Not really Noise per se, but still possessing slight tendencies towards Noise.

The Manoman 12" dropped earlier in the month by the band, featuring two choice cuts in particular, the title track and the B side 'Gore'. 'Manoman' is an journey into absurdity, percussively syncopated and sparse interwoven with odd synths and non-linear 'melodies'. Mid-track, fresh percussive noise intermittently punctuates the throbbing rhythm. 'Gore' is just as bizzare, welding together industrial-esque percussion and robotic synthesisers, creating a horrendously beautiful noise.

In other unrelated news, apparently Homebake tickets sold out in less than a day. Looks like there are more people who want to see Toni Collette perform music than I thought.

Ok, we'll bite.


It seems blogs all over are ablaze with their uber-credible picks for what are the most delicious tracks on the new Outkast soundtrack to the movie of the same name Idlewild (2006). While im going to admit, yes it is extremely crucial for blogs to stay unique and fresh (as the most devine 20jazz&funkgreats shows) however sometimes, just sometimes you gotta buy into what everyone else is doing. Everyone is talking about Outkast but unlike Sam Champion, this is for all the right reasons.

Idlewild (2006) as expected gives us all of the same from Outkast but everytime warping that pre-conceived notion just that little bit further. Not so much pushing the envelope, rather just lifting the edges ready for opening your neatly pressed letter.

Unlike The Love Below / Speakerboxx, I would confidently say the input of Big Boi far outweighs the contribution of Andre3000 in both quality and quantity but that is not to detract from this duo both bring their own flavoursome dish to the table.

Without further b.s.

Whiteboydancefloor's Idlewild (2006) Hot Picks

Outkast - Call the Law (feat. Janelle Monae) This track simply oozes with instant groove and jazz infused seduction. This is the type of music that your Christina Aguleiras (cant even spell that hoes name), Kelis, Alicia Keys and all the others have been falling short of making for so long. No hole barred pop with a refreshingly seductive element of soul. Janelle Monae sizzles! Pop music critics beware, this song will infest your groove thang and make babies!

Outkast - Life is a musical This track is Andre3000 influenced right down to the very last synthesised note. Lyrically and ideologically basic but as "hey ya" demonstrated, such comments aren't a criticism of Outkast merely an observation. Homeboys n girls beware, the real cool kids will be out in their thunderbirds with the hoods down, speakers pumping to this one on a summers afternoon, sippin on authentic lemonade.

****

Another little present for you all. Triple J Unearthed is on again and it's producing alittle from column A and alittle from column b. Vomit like the Angry Pandas and quality like The Little Stevies. So with that in mind, i give you a strip down, honest track from The Little Stevies.

Sublime Weekly Festival @ Home



Sure we all know where Sydney's elite, successful, hip and beautiful like to party. Zeta Bar, Hugo's Lounge, The Loft are some names that spring to mind. Each club has a certain clientele, where for some reason, whether it be geographicaly or musically attracts a type of patron that is sterotypical of that particular venue. Quickly I found out what a 'Subbies' crowd is and what it was really like when I embarked on my first trip to the Sublime Weekly Festival, who celebrated it's 10th birthday 3 weeks ago, and the world class Home Nightclub at Cockle Bay.

First of all, this is not where Sydney's elite, succesful, hip and beautiful congregate. Any club where you can wear shorts and a singlet isn't really a glamour magnet, where instead the place is filled with drug-fucked teen-20 something males, dripping with fake Ralph Lauren, Nautica and Nike Air Max with their VL Commodores parked not to far from the venue. They were there, not to steal stuff or indulge in piss-weak graffiti as they usually do. They were there to sample was is purportedly the best dance music Sydney has to offer.

Residents Amber Savage and Archie ensured the crowd was dancing hard with their trademark hard trance sounds, whilst the infamous Beat-Fix room was the mecca for lovers of Breaks with Klaus Hill, Kemuri and MC Losty ensuring the puffy-pant brigade were grooving all night long with some tunes that impressed my pretty green ear for Breaks. For lovers of more sexy sounds,Sublime veteran Kate Munroe and Matt Roberts with Illya delivered funky and jazzy house to a more sophisticated and less drugged up crowd. For some weird reason Acid Eyeliner played upstairs with some other bands, but it was nice to hear the crunch of a guitar amongst the synthetic noise that envelopes the 3 story collossus.

Overally, Sublime is a good night if you have plenty of money to spend on your favourite poison so you can go nuts to the mainly harder styles that are served up. If you want a nice night out where you can dress up, have some cocktails, a chat with some friends and indulge in a spot of dancing, this club night is not for you. Only hardcore clubbers need apply.

Waiting On The World To Change



Any John Mayer fans left in the house? Do you even remember who he is? It seems Johhny boy is back, and he has shaken that wannabe blues muso ambition that he finally fufilled on that surprisingly solid John Mayer Trio (John Butlers lawyers were waiting for him to sue for that one) LP 'Try', where he let out his inner B.B. King.

Don't worry kids, John Mayer has returned. I always found his music so annoyingly endearing, so when I caught news that his new album 'Continuum' is out in a little under 3 weeks, I needed to take a listen. On John's website, he has featured the first single 'Waiting On The World To Change' for streaming, which is an effortless piece of smooth guitar pop which sounds slightly like an artist I can't quite put my finger on. It is good, really good, minus that silly lyric 'Our generation is going to rule the population' (lol). If you live in NYC, he will be playing a free show on NBC's Today show at the Rockerfeller Centre on Friday, go nuts and wave those obligitory 'John Have My Babies' signs.

Erol Alkan is everywhere. No doubt that he is one of the most in demand producers in electronic music today, with some recent killer remixes up his sleeve of the likes of Justice, Daft Punk, Bloc Party and Hot Chip.

Now he has taken on the new Scissor Sisters track 'Don't Feel Like Dancing', and has morphed it from a glammed-out stomp intto an electro-infused 'Carnival Of Light' (So claims this remix's title). What previously was a track which in truth didn't make you 'feel like dancing' at all, the Erol Alkan remix does the exact opposite, and creates a highly danceable piece of music. The remix will be released on 12" released next month. For now, have a listen at MySpace, and buy me one of those 'Keeps Kids Dancing' T-Shirts whilst you're there. Ta.

RHCP aren't playing BDO

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Well you were wrong weren't you? You thought you were so smart rattling off 'rumoured' Big Day Out acts with a certain level of feigned authority. You were wrong, because the worst kept secret in the universe, the Red Hot Chili Peppers headlining the massive Aussie festival proved to be wrong, as they locked in a big national tour for April and not January. Dont worry, you can impress your friends still with these rumours: New Pornographers, Bloc Party, My Chemical Romance, The Knife, The Killers (Dang), Muse, Eagles Of Death Metal, Jet (Double Dang) and Gnarls Barkley. The 'dancefloor will keep you posted when more rumours and actual announcements come through.



John Darnielle and his Mountain Goats project are a wbdf favourite, so when a new album bearing the Mountain Goats name is released we get a little excited. The new single 'If You See Light'from that very LP is yet another step forward for the 'Goats, and is a piano-driven gem with interesting percussive elements and a nice little intermittent horn section, yet most noteably the formerly ubiquitous acoustic guitar has been relegated to the periphery. Compare this to John's lo-fi days and you can see why he took on the band and ditched the 8-track. Plus the video for 'Woke Up New' is out as well, so I posted it above.

She's Good For Business



September's installment of the Modular Monthly at the Basement Circular Quay will feature their latest signing to their swelling roster MSTRKRFT. Hoorah! A double hoorah is also in order, as October's shows will see Modular vs DFA, with The Juan McLean playing a DJ set and Beats In Space deck-rider Tim Sweeny coming out to play. Go to www.modularpeople.com for more information.




I like my rock of the Post variety, so hearing an Australian band like All India Radio bringing the spirit of Post-Rock to the table with some stunning electronicly-tinged strings, smooth down-tempo rhythms and subtle guitar licks makes for a very satisfying experience. The band have been around forever (since 1999 actually), and only recently released a new album entitled 'Echo Other'. After one listen of this band I was hooked.

MP3: All India Radio - Four Three (mp3 back online soon)



Last week I failed to note the passing of a music legend, former Love frontman Arthur Lee. Plenty has already been said about the man and when listening to some of the music Lee and Co. created, in particular the 1967 album 'Forever Changes', it is not hard to see why he will be sorely missed. Tracks like 'Alone Again Or' and 'You Set The Scene' are probabaly lyrically and musically the most stunning pieces of music ever written.

American Idle........wild



The mercurial kings of hip hop, real hip hop are back. Outkast finally return with their long awaited Idlewild soundtrack. And as you can expect from a musical outfit the callibre of Outkast, they've made us wait for all the right reasons.

The first single "Morris Brown" is reminiscent of a Mississississipp Funeral Procession. But you know, not those morbid tragedian processions, the kind that celebrate death as the ultimate conclusion to the wonder of life. Along with its film clip, "Morris Brown" gives us all more and more insight into how envious we all are of the magical world Outkast live in.

If your looking for the next "Hey Ya" dont bother, the first listen won't necessarily grab you as much as the third and fourth listens will.

Check the film clip compliments of the masters, YouTube.
NahRight.com are also featuring some great new Outkast tracks which you can download.



In more irrelevant news that is some how indirectly related to bloggers, Myspace has been officially launched in Australia with a secret gig featuring Jet. I can only imagine how insanely rock n roll it was.

Are you sensation?


My ears have been pleasantly set alight.

Too often it appears as if one must resort to crude insults or intellectual music bashing in order to find music to discuss. However, there are those rare and dramatic moments in whiteboydancefloor's short folklore where a band engulfs our ear drums in sweet sweet nectar.

Tigercity are one of these such revelations. Their approach is not significantly unique or ground breaking, but much like Daft Punk and electro, what these guys from Brooklyn, New York do, they do very well. WBDF chief editor Chris accurately identified "they are the sum of their influence" but by no means use this as a heuristic for what Tigercity present.

As Tigercity confess, they "LOVE POP MUSIC" and quite honestly, it is refreshing to witness sounds from a band whom aren't cracking some new cutting edge mould but who are still setting souls (of shoes) on fire.

Their self titled ep "TIGERCITY" is what I'm calling one of my Best ep's of 2006 and yes I'd go that far! The singles "are you sensation" & "cloakrooms" which particularly struck a chord with my ears, but no song is out of place. All branching off in sprinkles of electro guitar pop but each song remains its own.

With other blogs wasting their time talking about filfth like Audioslave, Jessica Simpson & Nelly Furtado because Sam Champion is probably still opening for Danni Monogue, we'll concern ourselves with delivering some quality. Mind you not all blogs share this same lack of integrity as i discovered props must go to bigstereo whom already featured Tigercity.

So if by nothing else in your opinions that comparison, Tigercity wins hands down. You can stream the whole ep via their website.

Not that it matters, but they sure are a good looking bunch aswell aren't they.

Van She Remixes, Triple J Unearthed Launches



I know we've mentioned Van She multiple times, but so what? Do you want to fight about it? Sydney's favourite New-Wave revivalists have been remixed and have remixed plenty of times over the past couple of years, many more times than I had realised. Since launching their new website, the band have featured a heap of these remixes, not in mp3 format unfortunately but you can stream them to your hearts content. Both the Cut Copy and Kalxons remixes of 'Kelly' being the standouts. If you have an aversion to bucketloads of vocoder, electro-rock and sex-ed up bass lines, then you are missing out.

Aside from these remixes, the boys will be touring Europe and the US later in the year, as well as continuing work on their debut album, which should be out next year.

Van She Remixes @ Van She Website


Australia's youth radio network Triple J launched their Unearthed competition on Wednesday night, with a ceremony in Sydney.

Stabbed With A Drill



When im really pissed off, what I will do is lock myself in my room and play metal albums really bloody loud. Sure I could have listend to some noise, some Merzbow or something to that effect which would have been the perfect catharsis, but I just didn't get what on earth was the attraction about noise. Its just a bunch of crazy noises! Ive shat out better sounding things than this, I used to tell myself.

Until I heard some of the new Wolf Eyes album 'Human Animal', which is out in September. Wolf Eyes have a knack of creating 'music' that sounds much like a gruesome death would, with bowel-wrenching growls and roars polished with uber-abrasive sampling, face-mangling bass and enough distorted fuzz to make your head explode. I believe they are touring down under before the end of the year, and I imagine it would be an interesting experience. I think i'll give noise a bit more of a chance now, and leave those Cannibal Corpse LP's in their rightful place; the bin.

MP3: Wolf Eyes - The Driller @ 20 Jazz Funk Greats
MP3: Wolf Eyes MP3 Page





Keeping with the Wolf theme, superb Adelaide collective Wolf and Cub also have a new album on the way entitled 'Vessels'. The first single off the debut 'This Mess' has been getting some good airplay on the J's and its a surprisingly catchy little ditty, albeit not as dark and edgy as I would have hoped. I was very disappointed in missing out on these guys at BDO 06, and if you were in the same boat as me and want to catch them live, the are playing at the Annandale Hotel on the 29th September.

Death of Death From Above



Sad news emerged this week when JFK from Death From Above 1979 announced that the bass and drum two piece was no longer. In a statement on their official website http://www.deathfromabove1979.com, JFK said, among other things:

"over the last 3 years of touring, sebastien and i had grown apart to such an extent that the only real time we spoke was just before we would play and during interviews. we both changed so much that the people we were by the end of it, probably wouldnt have been friends if they were to meet for the first time again"

What a shame.



MP3: The Magic Numbers - There Is A Light That Never Goes Out (The Smiths cover)

When I heard this track for the first time, it was on the radio and I thought, wow this is a really nice song. As the song progressed, the lyrics became more familiar to me and then the songs beauty really hit me. I seldom hear covers a good as this one, and the Magic Numbers have taken a great song by a great band and interpreted it beautifuly. The male/female harmonies are stunning against a more minimal acoustic guitar rhythm section, and the phrasing attaches more emotion to lyrics already dripping with sap. Still it is hard to beat the original, but it comes close.




NEW AUSSIE MUSIC
: Ray Mann Three

Kid Confucious are clearly one of the most exciting bands in Australia right now with their Soul/Hip Hop fusion and 9 piece band getting airplay everywhere. KC side project Ray Mann Three takes that soul element, influenced by the sound of Marvin Gaye, D'Angelo, Otis Redding and alike to create an understated and smooth sound. They will be playing some shows around town in the near future so check out their MySpace for more info.

Splendour in the Grass - Part 2

As promised, here is the final chapter in the experience that was Dayve's Splendour in the Grass 2006. Enjoy.

DAY 2

We walk in, no line, getting in is an absolute piece of piss, and there are PROGRAMS, hundreds of them sitting on tables as you walk in, for free, to just pick up. Finally we know what the hell is going on all day!

The excitement and novelty had finally sunk in so Sunday was all about seeing bands. And there were plenty there. First intention was to see Butterfingers, who’d come in as a last minute replacement for Clap Your Hands Say Yeah! Who had to pull out because of an ill singer or something. Oh well. Inadvertantly caught the end of ‘The Exploders’ who I hadn’t really heard and probably wont again. Not to say they were bad, but they were certainly pretty uninteresting. Butterfingers hit the stage and were certainly not what I expected. I had to wait until the 3rd song till I was actually sure it was them (I’ve never seen these guys and have only heard the hip hop stuff) but they played a good set to a more than responsive crowd including ‘I like ‘em when they’re trouble’. They were impressive to a relative newcomer and I’d see them again.

We went and grabbed something to eat, smoked some pot and came back in eager anticipation of the surprise band. A lot of rumours going around and a lot of excitement surrounding it all, so you can imagine the disappointment on my face when out walked Craig Nicholls and the other dropkicks from the Vines. I didn’t know who he was at the start, he looked like an emo poof and I thought that was the kind of band we were about to get but once the disgusting noise from their amps and his shite voice got going, I was out of there quicker than an Olympic sprinter with gastro-enteritis heading for the shitter.

With even more time to kill we went and caught the end of 1200 techniques frontman N’Fas set and I must say, I didn’t know any of the songs but the crowd was PUMPED and he was working them and jumping around all over the place. He kind of reminds me of a chef that I used to work with but needless to say the energy from the place was enough to set an enjoyable mood and he was on fire. We probably only caught about 20 minutes in total but he deserved his cheers as he left the stage.

Next on the agenda was Brooklyn’s own Hassidic reggae star Matisyahu. As I’ve already been trying to drill into the heads of everyone around me with constant playing of his cd, THIS GUY IS AMAZING. I had only heard of him 2 days before on the drive with Dean up to Coffs and didn’t even know he was on the splendour bill but if I’d missed this guy, I would have been kicking myself, as should everyone who didn’t see him while they were there. A blissful, soulful experience. He was feeding off the crowd and we just kept giving him more and more energy. The future for this young man looks big and bright. Then again, some people probably wont get what makes this guy so amazing. See him live.

Then it was a bit more walking around aimlessly before it was time for The Presets. This is the second time I’ve seen these guys this year and they’ve been great both times. My only complaint would be the setlist really, it was almost identical to Big Day Out, especially now that I know all the songs and, while it was pumping and groovy, it wasn’t that exciting. But then again maybe that’s just me. Wolfmother were the next band we caught after that and it was kind of the opposite end of the spectrum. I’d also seen these guys at Big Day Out and while there were good they didn’t blow me away. At Splendour, however, they managed to blow not just me away but pretty much everyone else too I think with a massive, epic wall of sound that screams ‘too good to be Australian’ but the best part is that it IS.

The night, nay the whole weekend, came to a close with one man. One man who’s been one of the most influential songwriters of the past 50 years, Mr. Brian Wilson. For those of you who don’t know, he was in the Beach Boys and also wrote a lot of songs for other artists around that time. He played a set filled with timeless classics that got everyone in the place singing their lungs out with every word, no matter how high the harmony. It was something I’ve never experienced before. His band backing him up were also absolutely amazing and there was something about his ‘crazy old man’ persona that just made it even more enjoyable. Singling out people and verbally berating them for smoking near the stage (when the man has certainly had his own past filled with toxins) was met with cheers. I cant even remember which song went where but there was everything from ‘California Girls’ to ‘Good Vibrations’ to ‘Help Me Rhonda’ and the list just goes on and on. He left the stage to have pretty much the entire festival (he was the closing main stage act and if you weren’t there you’re a fool) scream and cheer the house down, ‘Encore! Encore!’ so they came out again and played a few more. When it was all over he and the band left the stage again to the same response from a rabid crowd desperately clinging on to the final ticking minutes of a festival no one wanted to end. So he came out again and played a goosebumps-inducing, 8 piece harmony, beautiful version of a song called ‘Love and Mercy’. A more than fitting way to end it all.

And like that, it was over. Trudging through the carpark with dirty shoes, a different chemical balance than when we walked in and with much sadness in our hearts, it was all over. My first Splendour experience will certainly not be forgotten, and it definitely won’t be the last. I’ll see you all there next year.

Splendour In the Grass Part 1

Whiteboydancefloor's in the trenches sideline eye Dayve gives us the entrauling low down on what was Splendour in the Grass 2006. In a whiteboydancefloor EXCLUSIVE you'll hear first hand what it is to be enthraulled in this festival still only in its infant stages. Enjoy this two part thriller during this comming weekend.

Move over Pitchfork Festival. (no im not jealous, YOUR jealous)

DAY 1

We arrived in Byron Bay on the 22nd filled with enough excitement to be classed as a weapon. It had been raining considerably the night before but the sun had come out and spirits were high. You can imagine locals not particularly liking this time of year because the place was packed. People were everywhere buying supplies and a lot of them were going for gumboots. We probably should have taken that as a sign of things to come but we didn’t, we were just happy to be there.

The drive to the Belongil fields from town wasn’t a long one, but with the traffic and the fact that they had to sort all these cars out, it took a while. We got ourselves a parking spot that had us 300m away from the festival, according to the signs. We walk along nice and easily and just before we get to the main tunnel that’s about 150m away, we see the line. Its large(“this queue is almost long enough to be an R!”). So we head to the back of it and start to discover why people were getting gumboots – THE MUD. There was a lot of it and people had been telling us about it but oh well. It ultimately became another fun part of the splendour experience.

Finally we entered the gates and there we were, Splendour. Our first objective was to get beer, and we completed it nicely. But considering we’d been there a while now we’d been spending an awfully long time in queues (long enough to be an R!). We didn’t have a program which didn’t really help the organization of the day, and when we found someone selling them for FIVE BUCKS it was an incentive to speak to random people to find out what the hell was going on. Not much was planned for day one in terms of acts but I did want to catch the Grates and DJ Shadow. Neither of whom was on for a few hours, so we walked around and just watched the general goings on. The place is massive, probably more walking involved than BDO but theres more going on. I went and had my buttocks cleansed of sin at the Church of Two Hands and a Chicken. Also caught some half-sets from bands like Youth Group and Death Cab For Cutie. Neither of whom im particularly into but who both sounded alright as I walked on by. Time crept along and it was finally time to see the Grates. They hit the stage and opened with ‘Howl’ to get the crowd going (I think. You do have to, of course take into account certain influences I may have been under at the time – a few) and this Brisbane trio just didn’t stop. A warm crowd sang along to everything. A particular set highlight was a massive net full of brightly coloured balloons letting go during 19 20 20 which just added to the joy of the occasion. Eventually ‘Lies are much more fun’ came around it was over, but a solid set and very impressive. Wasn’t quite sure what to expect from a 3 piece with no bass player but they pulled it off well and I’ll definitely be going to see them again at some stage.

Then it was back to the general meandering of the day. There are more than just the main stages at this place. We saw performances on the side stages, in the sky, in the back of a station wagon and everywhere else in between. Its not just about the bands, the vibe and the atmosphere take control and you’re in another place. Separated from the world. I could go into writing another little essay on drug culture, which was more evident at splendour than any other festival I’ve been to but this is probably gunna be long enough already.

Time came for the first day to close, but not before seeing DJ Shadow, who came to be a sensational visual highlight of the weekend. I’m not that familiar with his new material, and I’ve heard that it sucks. I was only there to see and hear the songs off his revolutionary ‘endtroducing’ album and he played a fair few of them. To explain how the performance looked, lets look at your monitor. Imagine if your monitor was broken down into a whole bunch of smaller ones, some of them joining together to make images, some of them just smaller ones. And they’re all playing bright, vivid visualizations and videos that are interesting individually but then all make up a bigger picture too. And now imagine that just below the middle of your monitor is this platform with a DJ standing in the middle of it. He wasn’t even on the stage. We missed the first song but as he dropped into ‘The Number Song’ the place went off and kept going that way. About halfway through some rapper came out to do, obviously, some of the new stuff and I must say I wasn’t really paying attention to him, though it did get to a stage where his hoppity-boppity speakings made you wish he’d shut up so you could listen to the fat beats. The set closed with a disappointingly not-as-epic-as-on-the-CD version of ‘Long Stem’ that still satisfied. Due to the thing I wasn’t going to go into, we spent the rest of the night in the Tipi Forest listening to the random DJ’s and seeing some ultra-weird shit until they kicked us out at 2am.

Time to go get some sleep, and get ready to do it all over again…

That wet your appetite? Stay tuned as we feature Dayve's Part 2 / Day 2 in our Splendour in the Grass Special on Monday!!!

Put the dance in whiteboydancefloor!


Some would say it's blogger blasphemy to post about Fall Out Boy and not spell check blasphemy in the same sentence. I dont care.

Lindbergh Palace have conducted the inevitable and remixed "Dance Dance", with great success I might add. Reccomended to me by the amazingly good looking Valerie (shes even saucier than the name suggests!), it seems Lindbergh Palace thought it necessary to demonstrate what Fall Out Boy might sound like if they were kidnapped and converted into mild mannered dancing robots. I'm not going to jump in your face and say that this remix will set the world on fire but if your looking for something to listen to, I'd prefer to listen to Lindbergh Palace than Sam Champion anyday of the millenium. Yeh, can't wait for the Sam Champion demoes *insert extended vomit here*

Lindbergh Palace need to be applauded in the sense that they've taken a song which already lends itself to dance hooks of the highest proportion, yet they throw the Max Graham v Yes forumla out the window and have opted to take the moral high road and actually demonstrate their proficiency as artists.
