10 Reasons Why Lighting In A Bottle is The Festival to Be At This Year
Blah blah blah Coachella. Thats all anyone can talk about this time of year but frankly that festival is not for everyone… In looking for an alternative to 3 days walking the desert runway (and 3 weeks fishing dust out of my nose) I saw that Lightning In A Bottle has a killer lineup this year. The festival takes place on a forest and by a lake. That is exactly the kind of setting I want for my music festivals! Keep your sand storms! I’m climbing tree, going swimming, and laying  in the shade while listening to these rad bands that you wont find is the dustbowl of Indio this weekend…
1. Moby
Call him a legacy act if you have to but besides being one of the finest (and biggest) acts of the 90s, Moby is still kicking out jams. And unlike the unfortunate Fatboy Slim set at Coachella, I bet you he wont be pandering to contemporary EDM trash with his set.
2. Phantogram
Now this is a festival band! Big sound and perfect for rocking out with hundreds of strangers who all know the words!
3. Gold Panda
Festivals are all about getting a bit weird and Gold Panda is the perfect soundtrack to any adventure deep into the forest/mind/someone else’s tent…
4. The Polish Ambassador
All the music this killer beat-smith releases is available for “name your price” which means he wont break your bank when you fall in love with his jams and need all him music after the fest.
5. Ryan Hemsworth
Time for another trip…
6. Chet Faker
Soulful and oh so damn sexual. Chet Faker is probably my favorite voice these days. Also best beard. I’m looking forward to catching both live.
7. Kraak & Smaak
8. Marley Carroll
You have no idea how excited I am for Marley Carroll! These two jams below are enough that he should be top of the bill yet somehow he hasn’t blown up yet. So damn groovy and addictive!
9. Story Of The Running Wolf
A lot of people like to enjoy mind altering substances at festivals but you may want to keep your dosage low before watching Story Of The Running Wolf perform… Just a heads up…
10. Slow Magic
Watching this music lie in a forrest will either be totally cool or totally haunting but either way its gonna feel crazy.
If that linuep doesn’t get you jazzed then check out the full lineup here! Even more awesomeness like Little Dragon and The Gaslamp Killer.
[VIDEO] Music Video Roundup – 3.3.13
Last night my buddy Sam was asking where the Music Video Roundups went so this is my answer to him. Nowhere! Get on this latest batch of eye-goodies. Dancing, decomposing, dreaming, driving, and a dab of demented depression. Get into it!
Big Black Delta – “Huggin & Kissin”
Workout – “Life is a Nightmare”
Years & Years – “Real”
Nicky Blitz – “Alex” (lyric video)
Chet Faker – “Talk Is Cheap”
Flume & Chet Faker – “This Song Is Not About A Girl”
This Flume & Chet Faker project just keeps getting more rad. “This Song Is Not About A Girl” is a high speed glitch groover that works better than coffee for that 3pm slump!
Flume & Chet Faker – “Drop The Game”
As if Flume hasn’t been prolific enough lately, he has now teamed up with fellow Aussie and TBE fave Chet Faker for a collaborative EP that kicks off with this sweet slow bump jam. “Drop The Game” would have been a perfect Holloween time track but we will take it for a general falling leaves soundtrack.
[COVER] Chet Faker – “No Diggity”
curve’s the word, spin’s the verb, lovers it curves so freak what you heard
♫ Chet Faker – No Diggity (Blackstreet cover)
- Who:Â A guy whose real name is probably not Chet Faker.
- What: Chill-hop, like Rhye, Haim, Christopher Norman
- Where: Melbourne, Australia + Facebook
- When:Â His EP,Thinking In Textures, is out May 22
- Why: There has been a serious lack of cover song action on TBE so far this year and I can think of no better way to get back into them with this thick and slow version of “No Diggity.” If the first one soundtracked your ride to the party, then this one will get you home. And probably get you laid.
