Hot Damn Jamz 32: Pennant Fever!
October 16th, 2009 | 8:00 am est |
Just like that disco robot over there, we at the HD Jamz are willing to go anywhere to bring back the sounds that make life worth living. (Well, almost anywhere. Nobody here really wants to leave their toasty warm cubicles but that’s just because of the amazing foot rubs, the complimentary fluffy robes and the around the clock valet service) That’s right, the breathtaking, life-changing, brain-rattling, baby-making jams that will have you hopping up and down like Tug McGraw just gave you the old hotfoot in the dugout. That’s a little baseball lingo for you there, Tiger. Free of charge.
Maluca
You knew a new signing to Mad Decent with production by Diplo wouldn’t disappoint and sure enough her first single, “El Tigerasso”, is a speaker-ripping electro-Latin jam.
Kool DJ Dust
Sweden gets a toe into the disco revival bandwagon. He mixes hott tracks like we mix metaphors! Check out this here mix for an hour of jams that will cold rock the spot.
Korallreven
Listening to their laid-back, cottony, baggy as can be song “Loved-Up” has us dreaming of screamadelic days gone by.
The Beets
Another week of Jamz, another band on Captured Tracks. 2009’s hottest label shows no signs of slowing down with this loose as a goose garage rock quartet from NY. Their album, the mightily titled Spit in the Face of People Who Don’t Want to Be Cool, is out soon.
European instrumental fun with La Grenouille à Cheveux
Experimental electro-acoustics in The House of Bedlam
British angular emo-pop from Colour Album??? Yes!!
Tempo No Tempo
Rhythm-heavy Oakland dance-punks.
Themselves
After leaking a great mixtape (theFREEhoudini), the dynamic speed rap duo are getting ready to release their third album CrownsDown.
Broolyn and Tel Aviv denizen Juviley plays folk-pop that feels a little like a mellower, less precious Belle & Sebastian — just the thing for a hectic autumn afternoon.
And now….since everyone loves them so much, here’s another live performance by the XX for your viewing pleasure!






Great smooth vocals, acoustics rock!
I think cute.
