Well, they’ve put together a clip for their single Ticky Ticky Boom. And it comes complete with new-wave clothes and 80′s dance moves. Good times guaranteed*.

* “Good times” is a subjective term and no refund is offered in case of dissatisfaction with the “good time” you may experience.

THE GOOD TIMES ARE KILLING ME, dedicated to drunken nights, shenanigans, turbos, awesome stories, constant illness, forgotten memories, bicycle thievery, sneaking into clubs, the island of Rottnest, getting kicked out of clubs, BNGRS, real hip hop, smooth disco jams, talking shit, wisest wizard, Tooj, uni parties, the friend zone, “would you rather”, passing out, capes, technical difficulties and North Beach.

Im new here. Im Cale, a.k.a. Sleepyhead. As a friend of your favorite blog mistress, I was asked to contribute to this blog and seeing as I am trying to procrastinate from uni work, I figured this was a good a way as any. PS I’m not actually a vegan/vegetarian, but i have no beef with anyone who chooses to live their life that way (Pun definitely intended haha)

Anyways seeing as this is a blog about the cutting edge of stuff thats cool at the moment, i figured id do a biggish post in order to catch people up on what i think is cool.

Drake

Drake is a newish rapper/singer on Lil’ Wayne’s Cash Money Label. He’s recently dropped his new mixtape “So Far Gone” which features him singing/rapping over/creating new versions of songs from Lykki Li, Peter Bjorn and John, Santigold, Kanye West and Jay Z. Speaking of Kanye, with Drake, think of him as the 808′s and Heartbreaks version of Kanye, except he can actually sing.

These Shipwrecks

Okay so this is a shameless plug for my friends’ band, but they’re such nice guys so I gotta put the word out for them. They’re a local Perth band and have been around for a bit now playing a bunch of gigs. Their can be summed up as essentially epic, epic post rock. I think thats the right genre, but you make up your own mind, go see them supporting the Silents this Friday at Amps.

http://www.myspace.com/theseshipwrecks PS thats a rehearsal tape, do see them live, they’ll literally melt your brain.

Harlem

Okay, these guys fucking (can I swear on this blog?) ROCK. Tiny band out of Texas, they make kick ass rock music and they release a new cover of a song every month. So far they have done a Devo song, a techno classic, that Goodbye Horses from Silence of the Lambs, amongst others. But yeah “South of France”, an original song is a must listen. Check ‘em out http://www.myspace.com/harlemduh

Alright thats all I can really think of right about now. Im sure I’ll think of/ find something new soon and ill post it up. Untill then here’s a shameless plug (really another one?) for a DJ mix I did the other day. Its electro mostly and hopefully you enjoy it. Once again, the price is right (FREE) so who are you to complain? haha. But seriously, enjoy and any feedback is well appreciated. find it here

There’s something about this band that just makes dancing, jumping or simply smiling a necessity, and so far the only means of a BBB! fix has been at one of their few gigs or listening to one of the two downloads available free from their triple j unearthed profile. Finally a debut is upon us and ready to be launched:

Event on facebook

Date: 28th March 2009
Time: 8PM – 11:35 PM
Description: 
Boys Boys Boys! will raise the disco ball and polish the dance floor for their album launch on 28 March at Amplifier Bar Perth.
The album YES was lovingly recorded at Sumo Sound Studio by Laurie McCallum and is the first release for Boys Boys Boys!

Warming the stage for the Boys! will be Perth favourites New Rules for Boats for their first show after an 8 months hiatus.

And getting the party started will be the charming Hayley Beth and band The Hayley Beth Love Affliction, followed by JJJ Unearthered featured artists Voltaire Twins.

A lot of their support parts might be attributed to the fact that a major label’s signed them on – apparently because psych rock is said to be the next big thing. Or it could just be that they’re a Perth band (and Perth bands are always the next big thing). Something to look out for hey?

Article about Tame Impala on Who the Hell are they

Ohh! Crapp… is actually the name of a top music blog that features primarily Australian music. Not sure if it falls within blogging ettiquette to plug other blogs but I think this justifies an exception. Good music always recommended, and they’ve done quite a few interviews too, including teenagersintokyo, bitchee bitchee ya ya ya, the black ghosts, and the teenagers.

Recently they reviewed Miami Horror‘s recent EP – released today in fact. The EP is largely a collection of remixed songs by artists including Faker, Cut Copy, The Presets, Pnau and Datarock. It also features Perth’s The Dirty Secrets with a song called 5 Feet of Snow – currently my favourite track on the EP.

Check out the blog and EP – pretty sure you wont regret it

People Power is a program designed to generate good times, generate thought about issues of sustainability, and generate electricity.

Generate electricity? People power? No, this isn’t The Matrix, because thankfully there are no robots. It is more about bicycles powering 1000 LED lights, flying high above the Cultural Centre.

Along with this, there will also be SILENT DISCO, LASER TAG, THE BOOTH, SCHMIGLOO, The Forbidden Garden, 100 Drums, The Silver Street Surge Parade, Tom Tom Club and 1000 Trees. That all adds up to one good time.

So bring a coin. Bring your bike. Bring your smiles and energy down to good old Northbridge town tonight.

Shall be fun, pictures to come
