Fucking Relax.

It is summer. Now it is time for you to fucking relax. For real. I know it is time for everyone to pretend they are working on something or actually trying at their job, but for me, summer is the time where I take time to really better myself as a person...and better my music collection. I have recently discovered a need for music that floats in and out of my ears erotically and without loud dissonant sounds trumpeting its arrival. I found all of these songs this past week and they will go on a big cd that I will play when I am not rocking out. They make the day easier.


Well we all know Fake Tats loves Air France. Well, fuck me cuz Air France is not the only amazing group from Sweden (duh...). I honestly want to take a trip to Sweden this summer, why not? So much good music it is actually depressing. Do people in Sweden constantly take painkillers and recieve oral sex? I don't know...but that is what Boat Club reminds me of...painkillers and oral sex.

Boat Club - All The Time

Boat Club - Memories

Boat Club - Spanish Castles

Well aren't they just amazing. What is it...like a mix of Studio and Air France? Or just like a different version of Studio that rocks a lil' less and pops a lil more? Idk...but I am really happy I found this shit.

More from sweden!!!

Melpo Mene is the guy who sang "I Adore You", a song I posted with all the other Swedish gems. That song is now a classic thanks 2 Fake Tats (just kidding...but it is now a classic in my circle of friend(s)). N E WAYZ I found more music by this guy and like his song I Adore You, it is really heartwarming and just downright pretty music. Check out some of his other tracks.

Melpo Mene - Jedi

Melpo Mene - Snakes And Lions

Well in Baltimore there was this post punk band called Wilderness that was evidently pretty sick, I need 2 check them out. Their guitar player made a solo album and it is this really weird version of Post Punk that is kind of ambient or something...he loops really catchy / ANGULAR HEHEH guitar lines and sings over them. I don't know if you will like it but it's the kind of stuff that makes me feel very isolated and emotional when I listen to it. I love it. Oh by the way he goes by the name The Lord Dog Bird, is that a reference to the Verlaines album?

The Lord Dog Bird - No Security

The Lord Dog Bird - Walking With You

Now for something really different, some Flying Lotus for you. My friend emailed me and told me to check out his other songs and now I am really mad at myself for not posting some of these earlier/playing some of these for my friends earlier or back in the day when I used to smoke pot. These are some instrumental gems in the vein of Madlib if he listened to a lot more electronic music instead of a lot of jazz. Really funky, really good.

Flying Lotus - GNG BNG

Flying Lotus - Beginners Falafel

Flying Lotus - Melt

This is kind of a one off and not my favorite track in the post but still really good for playing in the car or during work or while reading or while making out with someone sensually.

Born Ruffians - I Need A Life (Four Tet Remix)

Listening to Four Tet makes me think of my other love in that genre of really really warm sounding electronic music that is perfect for accompanying ANYTHING: Pantha Du Prince. This guy rocks.

Raz Ohara and The Odd Orchestra - Kisses (Pantha Du Prince Remix)

The Long Blondes - Guilt (Pantha Du Prince)

Okay so we are coming to an end here...another massive post from Star Fox...holding the fort down while Falco is flying off somewhere doing something or other. Kleerup is awesome. He is also from Sweden. Do I really need 2 say anything else...do I need to even blog about non-swedish music?

Kleerup - Until We Bleed (with Lykke Li)

Kleerup - Longing For Lullabies (with Titiyo)


Well have a happy summer. This is another massive post from your boy Star Fox. Signing out.
