Hot Damn Jamz 18: For Kidz!
June 5th, 2009 | 10:25 am est |
This week we went far and wide to bring you the hottest and damnedest jamz we could find. No stone unturned, no expense spared, no lead unfollowed….stuff like that. And we do it all for you! Because life without piping hot jamz is a not a life we want to live, would you? Seriously, would you? Leave us a comment, tell us we matter, give us some kinda sign, girl! Okay, roll out the jamz…..
Slow Club
Slow Club’s breezy bedroom indie-pop is unabashedly pretty and just a little bit sad, especially on “Christmas TV” and “Dance Till the Morning Light.”
Jeppe
Have you wondered what Senior was up to since the tragic split of Junior Senior?
I Scream Ice Cream
How about Junior?
Classixx
You may have heard their slinky remix of Phoenix’s “Lisztomania”, now check out their great new single “I’ll Get You”.
Swim Party
A new take on ’90s style indie guitar swing, a la Polvo, Yo La Tengo, etc.
Sexy Sushi
Ooh la la! Sexy Sushi’s brash and breathy 8-bit dance-punk gives Kap Bambino, Crystal Castles and Heartsrevolution a run for their francs.
The Frightening Lights
Melbourne, Australia based The Frightening Lights bring the laid back dreamy sounds,
conjuring up jams that sound like Mazzy Star on sizzzurp, or Souled American with Sibylle Baier singing
Les Shelleys
Choke-y, folky style music from France.
Harry Merry
Bizarro Zappa-ish style comedy rock from the Netherlands.
Windmill
Given that Windmill’s album title is Epcot Starfields, it’s no surprise that their electro-pop is spacious and filled with childlike wonder.
Here’s a comment — I love Hot Damn Jamz. Keep up the good work!
Sexy Sushi would’ve fit in quite nicely on “BIPPP: French Synth Wave 1979-1985″. So…why are England and France so much cooler than the United States?
here’s another — I love it too!
thanks for the heads up on I Scream Ice Cream, I knew Jeppe was doing his own stuff, but haven’t heard anything about ‘Junior’.
I look forward to these every week. They are very informative, just like the rest of the website.
Keep up the good work!
P.S. One small problem, though…
I have never been sure where to send my recommendations for these columns. Is there a specific email contact I send them to?
Thanks!
Jus at side note, I think this is the 18th one,. I believe the 17th was the Walter Mathieu memorial edition
HDJ 18! Duh!!! Thanks, Nick.
You can add links to your own Jamz in the comments if you like.
