#LSPElixir

For those of you who enjoy the LSP I've started to concoct a little portable mixture I like to call the LSPElixir. The rough ingredients for this remedy include a touch of bass for boldness, a dash of guitar for sharpness and a hint of synth for some finishing sweetness. Expect a wide selection of unique, yet bold flavours.

WARNING: This elixir may take some time to perfect and is intended for my own personal consumption however I might as well share along the way. hope you enjoy.

The #LSPElixir playlist can be followed on the Youtubes.  Or follow me @Dubsonic on the twitter . I'll be posting trax to the hashtag #LSPElixir.

Have a swell weekend!

Happy Halloween from the LSP!

Tame Impala - Lonerism

Tame Impala's 2nd LP has been out for a little while now and if you haven't heard it, its begging for a listen. The LP's feels like one could slide a copy of The Beatles - Tomorrow Never Knows into the set and no one would even notice. 

Tame Impala - Elephant' (Todd Rundgren Remix)

Tame Impala - Feels Like We Only Go Backwards

There are a few solid mixes of Elephant out there and I thought I'd share one raucous version with the lot of you. Also check out the sweet PS22 chorus rendition of Feels like We Only Go Backwards. Sometimes a youtube comment is all one needs..

Electric Guest - This Head I Hold

This video by Electric Guest struck a chord with me as soon as I saw it. Immediately after viewing I realize that there might be some deep underlying meaning to what I just witnessed. The problem is I am just not that deep and I really just found the video to be down right hilarious. Well played Electric Guest.

Lifes a sweet fruit!
Enjoy

"Keep Filming .. It's Rosario Dawson"

I am not particularly commander keen about the track but I found the video to be pretty super vision x-ray

This shit just brings a smile to my face :)



"Put that on your youtube!"

Eagle Eye Willamson - Black Gold

"Williamson, 34, a proud sixth generation Texan, lives in Austin. At the age of 15, a bike accident severed his optic nerve, rendering him unable to see through his right eye.


Watching Williamson play can at first be distracting. An unassuming man sits behind a small drum-kit configured to his liking. In his lap a guitar, perfectly positioned. As he begins to play, his feet tap the drums that construct the rhythm of the songs

With his left hand, he works the fret board of his electric guitar as his right hand switches between striking the snare drum and cymbals. Each layer expands as Williamson begins to sing. The experience, at first fascinating soon turns to exhilaration"

Tycho - Hours

I have been all over Tycho's latest release "Hours". The track has a rolling organic quality that reminds of a BOC on juice. They have always had a lush visceral sound that really makes me wish I was sequestered somewhere on a warm sun splashed beach. If "Hours" is a prequel to what can be expected on their new LP hopefully we should be in for a groovy treat.

Tycho - Hours

Tycho - Dictaphone's Lament

Sloan - Cars (Gary Numan Cover)

Sloan covers the man the legend Gary Numan. Just downright pure

The Whispers - Keep On Lovin' Me

Viddy well brothers/sistas. I Just wanted to share a track that has been stuck in my head for days now. This thing is just pure uncut groove. It also accompanies one of the greatest youtube comments I have ever seen. Pay close attention to the gem in the red. BELLE ISLE muthas!

"If you're at a party and this jam comes on and you don't move, simply get up, get into your car and drive to the closest cemetery, park your car at the gate so in the morning when it opens you will be first one in and simply find an open grave and JUMP IN! you must be walking dead."

Welsey Willis Vs. DJ Shadow

I had a request for this little Wesley Willis / DJ Shadow classic.

Wesley Willis - Dj Shadow Mix

Below are a couple old school personal fav's, on the house.

Souls of Mischief - 93 'til Infinity

Bran Van 3000 - Problems

Radiohead - King of Lambs

After a few listens I am really digging the relentless drums scattered on the LP. But overall I must admit it does make me want to clamor around for their earlier work.

Vega Choir - Creep (Radio Head Cover)

LateNightTales: At the Movies

If you're a fan of the talkies like myself, Late Night Tales: At The Movies is a must listen. The disc features an amazing array of scores & samples from over 40 years of film. The subtle snippets of dialogue extracted from various movies adds a powerful touch.

Purchase your copy here

Excerpt

13. Carmine - Saigon
14. Phillip Glass - Powaqqasti

Soundtrack Tuesday: Music of the Pictures

At the Movies inspired me to dig through my personal archive of soundtracks, film scores and clips to mix a compilation of favorites. I intentionally avoided using of any Late Night's selections to keep both compilations unique. Either make for a great bit of ear candy for a rainy day.

I had to get the creative bug out of my system during these winter months. Hope you enjoy.

Be kind please rewind!

Bibio / Pilooski

It's been a while since I last "poasted" any sonic delights. So just to break the silence I've decided to post a few tracks that have been getting me through these bleak winter months. Especially the driving part.

Bibio - Lovers’ Carvings

The opening of this piece seems to remind me of some campy 1970's National Film Board of Canada nature film. For some reason I visualize a sterile narrator waxing poetic about some boring, overpopulated Canadian varmint like a deer or an otter, toiling in its natural habitat.

Tame Impala - Lucidity (Pilooski Remix)

A downright kick ass mix of a Tame Impala cut. Pilooski always seems draw these up right. What I enjoy about Pilooski's takes is the subtle touch he adds. Its like adding the marsh-mellows to something already quite delectable like hot chocolate.


I always seem to get a kick out of Matt & Kim video's. This one featuring their new release "Camera's" is worth a viewing if you enjoy the ole' ultra violence
