I don't wana look like too much of a Justice fan, cause everyone has been blogging about how great they are. But I gotta admit, there isn't simply one day in the last 3-5 months that I haven't listen to a Justice track. Moreover the whole world seems to be listening to their album on loop and every electro DJ have Justice on their set. So low and behold, it's time we drink the water...from Nazareth.

Justice - Waters Of Nazareth
Justice - Waters Of Nazareth (Justice Remix)
Justice - Waters Of Nazareth (Erol Alkan Durr Durrr Durrrrrr Re Edit)

I still remember how I got a headache after hearing this track for the first time. That was about half a year ago and I thought my CD player is skipping, then after awhile into the track, I was banging my head like crazy. Anyway heres a video of the Waters of Nazareth release party, it features a star studded lineup including Feadz, Mr Ozio, Uffie, SebastiAn, DJ Funk, Surkin, Kavinsky, Erol Alkan (Mustapha 3000) and Justice! I would kill to go to a gig like that. (go google the above names, they are the hottest electro musicians around these days)

LCD's the new LSD

It's abit late and I'm really cursing myself for dismissing this track the first time I heard it, on hindsight, I'm going "what were you thinking Seb!" LCD Soundsystem's 'All my Friends' from their latest album 'Sound of Silver' is just the track that will keep growing on you. It is one hell of an Electronica track that incorporates elements of progressive rock and then gets very intensive as it goes on.
And just when you think thats it, there a Franz Ferdinand cover thats produced by Erol Elkan that sounds really indie and folksy. Well thats the first time we've heard from Franz Ferdinand in awhile as they are working on their third studio album.
The only other version of "All my Friends" that I haven't heard is the one that's covered by former Velvet Underground member John Cale, I'd be eagerly anticipating for that one.

And on top of today's goodies I have a CSS remix of The Cribs' "Men's Needs." A little info on The Cribs, a typical UK indie band, they are this 3 brothers from Leeds and they are very tight with fellow Yorkshiremen of Kaiser Chiefs. There you go.

Soundaholic's Pick - 3.7.07

Oi oi! What's good everyone. It sure has been one hell of a week for me but thankfully I've got this one hell of a band to keep me company. Cansei de ser Sexy's (CSS) would be the most popular band coming out of Brazil yet and their electro-pop/rock and synthish dance-punk tunes are just so addictive. Made up mostly of art-school kids (the usual design your own instruments , clothes and CD sleeve ones) who aren't really proficient with guitars and other instruments just yet, CSS are coming out with great tunes to wow crowds as they toured almost every major music festival around the world this summer nonetheless. So as I am space dancing, shuffling, walking-man(ing), robo dancing and moshing by myself in my lil hot bedroom while listening to CSS and bringing in my 19th year on this world tonite, here's a few tracks for you guys.

CSS - Music is My Hot Sex

CSS - Fuckoff is Not the Only Thing You Have to Show

And two of their really mind-fucking music videos.

"Let's Make Love and Listen to Death From Above"

"Alala"

and I wana add that I'm just so smitten by their bassist Iracema Trevisan and of course, every guy would notice their Japanese/German/Portugese lead singer Luisa Matsushita which goes by "Lovefoxxx."
