MUSIC FOR MONDAY: Leo Zero, Freddy Mercury, Rolling Stones, Joy Division, Hot Chip, Peter Bjorn & John, Zongamin

Today, as the crunch of work and some extracurricular activity made even a post here nearly impossible, I really needed the right music to compensate for my recent lack of sleep and inability to focus for too long on any one thing. Not good when falling behind means doubling the pace tomorrow.

These tracks, which I mostly get from friends but also from a couple of great sites (probably already familiar to many), did the trick with the now pretty pervasive nu disco-esque feel:

"Message Of Love (Featuring Freddy Mercury)" - LEO ZERO (from thefamousish.com)
"Satisfaction (DiscoTech Remix)" - The Rolling Stones (from thefamousish.com)
"Transmission (Cover Joy Division)" - Hot Chip (from offtheradarmusic.com)
"Lay It Down (The Golden Filter Remix)" - Peter Bjorn & John (from offtheradarmusic.com)
"Painless" - Zongamin

Now back to uploading and editing.

I finally checked out Off the Radar today (love the site) and came across this video, Friendly Fires' "Skeleton Boy." I also downloaded a few tracks that I'll post as part of Music for Monday.

WIP CREME at Jump-Start May 2010

From Jump-Start.org: WIP Crème will feature 6-8 artists performing short works that range from theatre to contemporary to hip-hop, amongst other genres. It showcases outstanding artists from the past season of W-I-P and is a pure celebration! W-I-P (Works-In-Progress/Wednesdays-In-Performance) is a collaboration between Jump-Start Performance Co. and San Antonio Dance Umbrella. It is a monthly lab space for new, in-progress dance and other movement-based performance works accompanied by a facilitated post-performance discussion. W-I-P is known for its eclecticism: modern dancers, belly dancers and performance artists have performed in the same evening and been inspired by each other, as well as expanding the audience’s perception of performance. For W-I-P Crème, we have selected some of our favourites from the past. The line-up will include Push Pens, Shimarella, Doyle Avant, PACDance, Northwest Vista College Dance Ensemble, Seme Jatib, Alysya Perez.

Swagg Presents Perez Hilton's One Night in Austin

It all started with finding out on Friday that we got into Perez's party at SXSW. Complete shock but so excited! It was like winning Willy Wonka's Golden Ticket. And by the time we received our magical wristband to walk through the doors at the Whitley, we had waited hours outside in anticipation of what was rumored to be The Place, The Party, The Event. And what we found? One word: "epic." After all, we were THIS CLOSE to Snoop Dogg, Courtney Love and Hole, Macy Gray as they performed one hit after another. And new acts like Marina and the Diamonds, and Alphabeat whetted our appetite, making us want to watch their ascendence in the near future. These are my shots from the night. Thanks Perez!

First Thursdays are an opportunity to see the art in San Antonio's Southtown before the big First Friday art walk.
