I can't say enough about TNGHT. They aren't dubstep, they aren't bass, they aren't trap they are a love child off all of them. TNGHT (Hudson Mohawke and Lunice) very literally created their own genre with the sole intention to cause structural damage to night clubs and rock everyone's face within earshot. In 2012 they came out with a small 5 track album that blew my mind and started my love affair with the group. I am so thirsty for new material by them and this song released this year is no exception.
This latest endeavour with the cliche name is another selfish act of mine to add to my digital epitaph. These entries are taken from a small pile of composition notebooks dating from 2008-2011. Most of these ideas were the foundation of construxnunchux to be used as a digital diary for Ian and I. I am going to transcribe some of the scribblings inside of these notebooks to share with you all. My goal always is to entertain but also to add to the deeply personal nature of this website. Enjoy.
I first heard of Die Antwoord when the kitschy "Enter the Ninja" dropped in 2010 and I wasn't sure what to think. Then I learned more about the band and realized that this was just an extension of their performance art as a bunch of friends from South Africa. Their follow up album Ten$ion was a genre bending party of brutal tracks, quick flow, and an energy impossible to ignore.
Cookie Thumper is a full on assault to every way you can enjoy music. YoLande's sopranic, manic and very sensual voice is such a harsh contrast to the thudding and driving beat behind Hi-Tek's sound. This song stands alone, it can be viewed as a satire, or its just fun to dance to. Anyways this is a band I need to see live before its too late. Enjoy the track.

What isnt there to like about a beautiful woman crooning over spacy horror-house trip-hop beats? This lovely lady is opening for the Weeknd this year on his tour and I couldn't love that line up more. This reminds me of vintage Portishead or Elysian Fields with a small sonic garnish. I love alot about this song (if you couldn't tell) and I hope the rest of her work is very similar to this piece. It's all too often that a woman with this beautiful voice gets snagged by a major label and turned into another watered-down pop-star (Im looking at YOU Lana DelRay)
These are not drills. These are stats we have obtained from TCAFABT (The Cat Alliance For A Better Tomorrow) To not take these seriously is a kick in the kitten chin of all those who have worked hard to make life better for cats. Would you kick a cat in the chin? If the answer is yes, you are probably a monster. We all need to help out with this menace that is growing in our (and my) country. Be a part of the solution, not an enemy! These furry critters and us are to share this planet, lets work together and not against one another!
*Crusade for Action Towards Normalized Addiction Prevention (Also known as CATNAP) is a new movement we have started with hopes to put an end to the growing menace for cats of all size, religious belief and colour. We will be sharing pictures with statistics of the growing concern that is known as Cat Nip...*
Bloc Party's debut album Silent Alarm is one of my favorite albums of all time. The came Weekend in the City which was pretty decent. Then Intimacy which was ... well poop. Their lead singer Kele went off solo and did more poop. Now they are back with Four which -THANK GOD- isnt poop.
Bloc Party is back with the perfect blend of dance-rock which is hard to do effectively. Ratchet is a great song. Great enough to reinspire my affection for one of my favorite bands that lost their way quickly.
PLUS! Cyriak does the video. I am a huge fan of his work AND he loves cats. Check out this perfect storm of awesomeness!
