Design on a Dime & Mix Tapes From Last Week

muthafunkin@gmail.com (Raimy Rosenduft) — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 17:42:00 +0000

... aaaand we're back. Here is what you came up with for fliers, what does everyone think?

Personally, I think if you took the time to try anything you deserve something. Maybe I'll order pizza for everyone next Monday.

First design that came in was from @mandaxwp

the second in was from @livinginpink

and last, but certainly not least, this from @leesnelgar

Then I thought I should probably take a stab at it, here it what I came up with

If you are going to be in NYC on Monday night come by Arrow Bar, it's the first night of my Monthly listening party F*CK TUESDAY! We're going to be discounting Old Fashioned's all night and kickin' out some laid back party jams... and as some of you kids know already, you never know who might show up.

Four days later she tells you what is on the mix tape from Friday. It was a shortie, if you haven't snagged it yet you can snag it here.

Beds And Dishes - Anois
I Want You Back (MJ Cover) - Discovery
Pull My Heart Away - Jack Penate

A Doctors Lament - Papercuts
Revenge (Feat. Wayne Coyne) - Sparklehorse
Ambivalence Avenue - Bibio
I Felt Stupid - The Drums

Ok off for a bike ride, I don't understand why it's legal to ride in NY without a helmet. If it's illegal to ride on the sidewalk it should be illegal to ride without a helmet. Bitches be crazy drivers here.

10 Songs I Used To Sing In Front Of The Mirror

muthafunkin@gmail.com (Raimy Rosenduft) — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 19:19:00 +0000

Ok so clearly I'm not getting any writing done today, instead here are ten songs I used to (and sometimes still...) sing into my hairbrush... in front of the mirror... in no particular order.

I had the single of this song on tape; I bought it at the Sam Goody in Kings Plaza… probably with Hanukah gelt. I still know all the words. I learned how to do the Roger Rabbit to this song and thought it was genius until I learned what sampling was all about... it still is kind of genius. Cute babies doing the Running man!

My first boyfriend gave me Violator for my 12th birthday because I liked the song Enjoy The Silence. I was hooked after that, most of the CD’s in my early music collection consisted of Depeche Mode releases. I had absolutely no concept of what they were singing about as a 12 year old, but who cares, this song is totally worthy of brush singing.

I was OBSESSED with this song. Obsessed! When Rhythm Nation came out I wanted to dress exactly like Janet. I got as far as a black hat; Mona cut me off after that.

When I was 16 I did this program called SCA, I went to the backwoods in Nowheresville, Colorado we weren’t allowed to have any technologic implements with us… You know that I snuck in my yellow Sony Walkman. I had one mix tape one side was Suede and the other side was U2. I listened to this song the entire summer at 9,000 ft.

The first two bits of vinyl I owned aside from Sesame Street 7” were Madonna’s Like A Virgin and Michael Jackson’s Thriller. I grew up in a very large apartment building, the boy who lived upstairs from me would come down and we would jump on the couches singing along to this song.

I don’t even know where to begin with Erasure, in 1988 my aunt and her friend Randi bought The Innocence and put it on in her apartment. She had just graduated from college and it was the first adult apartment… literally one building over from where my Grandparents lived. The two of them danced to this song like there was so tomorrow, pin wheeling around this empty space. I think that was the day I fell in love with music. Erasure would later be my first concert at The Beacon theatre, the night I learned the hard way what a drag queen was.

This song was also on the mix tape I had with me in Colorado, it was playing as we were driving from Gunnison to Creede, Colorado. If I were in a movie I couldn’t have placed that song in the better spot. The San Juan mountain rage is G-D’s country. Joshua Tree is still my favorite U2 album.

I didn’t get to Morphine until my senior year of high school, it seemed all the smart kids were listening to Morphine or maybe they all played wind instruments in band or whatever… I didn’t drink, smoke or do anything bad except cheat in high school. I literally got drunk three times before I went to college, and once was in San Nicola on the beach… So I don’t count that because I was on exchange in Italy. I remember when Mark Sandman died, I remember thinking that I was so lucky I had the chance to meet my lyrical idol who told me at the H.O.R.D.E show that he was glad he didn’t inspire me to be a serial killer after I confessed to him that Morphine inspired me to pursue a career in the arts. F.T.W

Blur. What can I say? I was (and still am) an Anglophile. My cousin Keri gave me her 10-hole DM’s and everyone at school called me Frankenstein until they showed up at the mall and then everyone was wearing them. I have two older British cousins who treated me like a younger sister when I was growing up. Imagine, you’re 19 in London at Soho House with your cousin watching Graham Coxon and Damon Albarn play a game of Snooker… I don’t even know how many times I played hardcore air guitar to this song.

I used to edit music videos to the songs on I Should Coco, when In It For The Money came out it blew my mind. I think I actually learned how to play this song on guitar. I still have this CD but it won't even play through anymore it's so badly scratched.

That’s all. Who did you sing into your hairbrush and play air guitar to?

Summer. Act Two.

muthafunkin@gmail.com (Raimy Rosenduft) — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 20:53:00 +0000

Call it what you want; Summer of Michael, Summer of Death, the summer that everyone decided to whip out their best Blossom tribute outfit, the summer of love (revisited)… The summer in Brokelyn is past the halfway point.

My right ear has been ringing since Glucky’s birthday last Saturday night, three of four people I’m crashing with have chosen Michel Foucault as lite summer fare, I know this because they are stacked on the toilet next to my copy of Blue Monday. New York is hot and humid and I gave up on throwing gay parties because I’m friends with everyone… So yeah, eff that. Besides my friends do it much better…

So let’s see what happened this week:

Simian Sunday

Simian Mobile Disco does a DJ set @ The Pool Parties. I run into a woman I’d met once before, but the last time she was making out with a couple at the end of a dinner party. She’s preggers now. I don’t think those two events are related however.

Flashdance on the big screen, my maiden voyage. I have an aversion to Jennifer Beals. I will say only Shakti and leave it at that. But now I get the full circle of Jesse Spano on the last season of that show.

Joe Eszterhas!… Flashdance, 1983… Showgirls, 1995… Showdance Flashgirls. Zack! I just took too many no-doze and I’m… scared girls.

P.S. Someone told me that this is a dude dancing.

Monkey Town Monday

Holly played with label mates The XX at Monkey Town, the kind of venue that gives dinner theatre a run for its money. Holly and Timmy played to Ashes and Snow on four large screens while we all reclined, it was like Passover without the lamb’s blood. Here is the AA Bondy tour vlog from Spring '09.

Go see The XX if they come through, they are waaaay cooler than I was at 18. It’s like the indoor kids all met one another, shared a mutual appreciation for all things The Joy Cure Depeche Siouxsie Division Mode complete with Chelsea hair, Doc Martins and black eyeliner. Don’t be fooled though… The XX are the real deal… I think.

TV On The Radio Tuesday

What can I say… those dudes are brilliant and I don’t like throwing that term around. They are all f*cking brilliant… and you know how you know? Their side projects are also f*cking brilliant… I’m not biased. No, no.

What The F*ck Wednesday

What was Le Poisson Rouge before it was Le Poisson Rouge?

TJO approved Phenomenal Hand Clap Band kicked off the evening opening for Friendly Fires who after some technical difficulty played a set that I danced so hard to I pulled a muscle in my groin… One way ticket to Awesometown.

At least I didn’t get pwned by Ed Macfarlane like this girl at MHOW. Ok blossom, time to go.

You can come back later with these brohammers

I haven’t danced that hard since the Pentecostal Church on my block spilled onto the street. They day I got rid of my Daniel Johnston.

Throwback Thursday

I grew up on the boarder of Brighton Beach and Coney Island. You can see the Cyclone from my Gramma’s apt. So when The 40-Sometime finally agreed to come to a show with me, the heaven sent double bill of Pat Benatar and Blondie coupled with the draw of Raimy roots garnished a yes… and I made a picnic.

Asser Levy Park is normally lined with residents ringing heaven’s doorbell, it’s been this way as far back as I can remember. The benches lined with dying Jew - Haitian aid, sick Jew - Jamaican aid, Russian guy in a tracksuit and scattered Irish Italians. I have never seen this many people in Brighton Beach.

We stood with Mike and Gina who had baked ziti as the screensaver on her phone. Don’t ask me why I know this. I knew too much about everyone standing with us, but that’s my outer Brooklyn not the white homogenized version you see on blogs. The hairy, tank topped, my brother is NYPD, my other brother is a FDNY, my cousin drives the ‘F’ train my sister works for a doctor on Ocean Parkway and my mother and father own their own business Brooklyn.

So imagine all that, add some Chelsea fags, recovering East Village punks and their teenagers, Pat Benatar and Blondie and this Michael Jackson cover.

FTW!

Frhigh Day

Here I am, somewhere in Clinton Hill. No music tonight but I made a mix tape to ring in Act Two of Summer h0’9. Here is that playlist:

Kiss Of Life - Friendly Fires
Ecstasy - JJ
Human Nature (Michael Jackson cover) - Toro Y Moi
Black Magic - Magic Wands
Starry Eyed (Ellie Goulding Cover Produced By The Knocks) - Samuel
Nonsense In The Dark - Filthy Dukes
Cruel Intentions (Feat. Beth Ditto) - Simian Mobile Disco
Rome (Def Starr Runaway To Rome Bootleg) - GRUM & Phoenix
Deli - Delorian
Love The Nite Away (Tiedye Mix) - DJ Kaos
Burial - Miike Snow

I’m almost broke, if the sudden resurgence in 90s fashion has anything to do with the fact that when we were in Middle/High School we lived at home and didn’t have our own money then I’m going out and getting a pair of saddle shoes and a Hypercolor t-shirt… oh wait. I already did.

Animal Collective plays at the Prospect Park Bandshell tomorrow.

Hex Oh,
RnR

TJO: Series Finale

muthafunkin@gmail.com (Raimy Rosenduft) — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 06:36:00 +0000

A few things.

Thank you gays so much for watching our show! I had such a nice time sharing my geeky not-so-secret obsession with you. I'll continue to update the blog, but if you're like me and have the attention span of gnat I'd follow the Muthafunka twitter.

Thank you to Lauren & Lacey for maintaining fan pages (p.s. I noticed that my Aunt was now a member on Facebook, so good going), that was by far the last thing I'd expected to have happen when I agreed to do an Internet show with Liz over coffee in Silver Lake a year and a half ago. Like... the last thing.

I'm back in Brooklyn for a minute, throwing parties and checking out shows. If you ever want to spend the summer going to free outdoor music events you should come to NY. Trust. If you ARE here, I'm teaming up with getglucky.com and a few of our friends are throwing a beach party at Sweet Revenge in Ft. Greene. Below is the flier, feel free to pull the image to put on your blogs, or twitpic, myspace, facebook, what have you. We'll be there from 10pm on...

Now, onto the music...

First... how about two of the bands we talked about on TJO getting Mercury Prize nominations! If you haven't listened to Bat For Lashes, Florence & The Machine... now is your chance to not be behind. PS... we're also very excited to see La Roux and Friendly Fires on this list. It's a great year for women!

And speaking of great women, how much did you love Holly Miranda?!... I know, I know... I'm not going to say that I've been saying it for years... but I've been saying it for years. I also have an unfair advantage. Here is a video that was recently shot in Brooklyn by Vincent Moon and features our friend Marques Toliver on violin. Look for Holly's debut album, The Magicians Private Library on XL Recordings early 2010.

Fiume Night 10 _ Holly Miranda _ williamsburgh, april 2009 from vincent moon / temporary areas on Vimeo.

I've really been enjoying Marina & The Diamonds for a minute, now that she's signed to Warner expect to see her in liscened for every CW show from here to kingdom come, I can't wait to see which lucky commercial gets hold of I'm Not A Robot first.

The Crown Jewels EP is out now on itunes.

I was back in New York in early spring doing the Homebodies party I discovered this band called The Phenomenal Hand Clap Band and my friend Jules quickly informed me that, "DUDE! That's Patrick's band." I know this kid from back in the day when Hifi first opened, Patrick Wood is an excellent drummer & I am so friggen happy this band is blowing up.

and just to bring it full circle... they're out for a few dates with Friendly Fires. BOO YAH!

It's Because I Love You

muthafunkin@gmail.com (Raimy Rosenduft) — Sat, 18 Jul 2009 16:38:00 +0000

Your Summer Song

muthafunkin@gmail.com (Raimy Rosenduft) — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 19:31:00 +0000

I submitted this song for my friends TV show a few nights ago, it's on the (500) Days Of Summer OST, then I sent it over to my buddy and she had already downloaded it as per KCRW. May I present your summer song obsession by The Temper Trap:

I totally think they are listening to this song right?

A Bad Case Of The Mondaze

muthafunkin@gmail.com (Raimy Rosenduft) — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 19:45:00 +0000

A few things from 30k feet

muthafunkin@gmail.com (Raimy Rosenduft) — Sat, 11 Jul 2009 01:13:00 +0000

I made you a mix for Summerchime, it was originally called Hot In The Shitty but I think the file hosting sites flagged it as some sort of unsavory video. I'll let you draw your own image...

Night Of The Living Dyke is reanimating in BKLYN this summer... stay tuned, and don't make plans for July 17th after work. I need you for happy hour.

I think I should revive my summertime clothes circa 1991, whadda ya think?

Spring Break Is OVAH!

muthafunkin@gmail.com (Raimy Rosenduft) — Sun, 07 Jun 2009 04:37:00 +0000

So like, here is the problem with in-flight wifi. If I thought I had attention deficit problems before I could always count on the sanctity of a flight between New York and Los Angeles to preclude my obsession with the Internet. Not anymore. I have a deadline in the morning, we're literally 333 miles from LA somewhere south of Vegas and I'm not even half-way there.

HOWEVER! Because I have access to the Internet guess what I did for the past three hours... that's right... music shizz.

Here is the soundtrack from the void.

Marmoset - Peach Cobbler
Papercuts - Future Primitive
DNTEL - Roll On (Feat. Jenny Lewis)
Headess Heroes - Nobody's Baby, Now (Nick Cave cover)
Grizzly Bear - Owner Of A Lonely Heart (Yes cover)
Cale Parks - Every Week Ends
Blur - Sweet Song
Division Day - Every Shining Time You Arrive (Sunny Day Real Estate cover)
Bat For Lashes - Pearl's Dream
Black Moth Super Rainbow - Born On A Day The Sun Didn't Rise

We start shooting on Thursday. Spring break is ovah.

Love,
Raimy

muthafunkin@gmail.com (Raimy Rosenduft) — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 21:39:00 +0000

Hiatus from This Just Out is at the half way mark! We're coming back in June. Back in New York for a bit and trying to see as much music as I can.

So like... last night I was gonna go check out Bowerbirds at Monkeytown but the house that I'm house-sitting had a massive flood, and when I say massive I mean like an inch of water covering the entire first floor. So now my sweet retreat has kind of turned into me overseeing the reconstruction of my friends basement. It's covered in plastic and looks like a scene from an alien movie; I had to rain check Glucky's offer and stick close to home.

Around midnight I took a stroll down 7th ave to get some fresh air and walked by Bar 4. Dude! So Bar 4 has an open mic on Tuesday nights and as I'm walking up I hear this crazy 3-part harmony and I have to go in for one drink. That was midnight, by two I'd made bar friends with Duck! one of the kids in Dinosaur Feathers (the source of the 3-part harmony), saw an impromptu two song set from Wakey! Wakey!, got schooled by Matt Singer and serenaded by Bar 4's own Kevin Johnston.

This ain't the anti-folk, if you are in the Dark Slope on a Tuesday night do yourself a favor and stop into Bar 4 for an hour or three. Tonight Aloke plays LIT. I've been here nearly three weeks and I've still not been into Manhattan.

I sat under this tree in Prospect Park for an hour today, why would I leave Brooklyn?

More soonyish.

Night Of The Living Dyke: The Invagion of Legion

muthafunkin@gmail.com (Raimy Rosenduft) — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 19:23:00 +0000

I'll be playlisting some of my more recent 4-star tracks and DJ Cutlet is gonna be serving up drinks all night. So ladies! Tell your girls, this THURSDAY the dykes invade Legion, it's a not so spontaneous take over spread the word!

Breakin' It Down

muthafunkin@gmail.com (Raimy Rosenduft) — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 21:55:00 +0000

I'm going to be taking a break from blogging until we start the next season. However, I'm way more productive at this other colossal time waster so follow me there.
