One Hamster's Self Satisfaction

Its been a busy week. Ive been behind on the news, not to mention the music scene. A few days and I feel like im behind already. Apparently my Danger songs I posted are gone.... lets hope i dont have an impending law suit cause I am ill-prepared.

Regardless I fight onward!

DVAS MEGA MIX!

So earlier this week, one of my favorite bands, DVAS, sent a pretty sweet mix to one of my favorite blogs Valerie.

Valerie for those who dont know is a sick blog, with some serious 80's style (like so 80's im talking actually 80's soundtracks from movies, not just an 80's sounding blog)and has introduced a ton of cool music that I've really enjoyed (Anoorak, Moulinex, College, Narctrax).

Anyways, this DVAS mega mix is awesome, and I thought id throw it up here for people to enjoy.

DVAS - Passion Communication Mix (this is a long mix but worth while)

I highly recommend their full album, and make sure to go their website to give them some love and support.


Narctrax


Narctrax is from Japan... Like legit from Japan; they dont fuck around. Now I know what your thinking, is this gonna sound like Melt Banana?.. cause that would be sweet. But no, that is not what it sounds like. Unlike alot of the upbeat dancey 80's prom stuff I post, Narctrax is more like psychedelic/progressive. Not dark and brooding, but mysterious and spacey.


I listen to alot of music and it takes something strong to knock me off my feet into an airguitar frenzy, but Narctrax did that. It was a name I had seen in passing, but the moment it changed my life was from a Valerie post. There was just one song posted. As I read the title my eyes began to cringe at how inhumanely cool of a title it was. The song is called EXCALIBUR GALACTICA. So as i clicked play, my expectations were already high. It was like a symphonic interstella keytar space battle through various galaxies with a shrieking electric guitar effect rocking harder than I ever imagined possible.

Now I'm not saying I'd do anything illegal, but I'd kill someone in front of their own mother to get an MP3 of their song so I could post it. However, I could not find one so all I can do is hope that anyone who reads this will take the 4 seconds to go their myspace to listen to it.

Narctrax Myspace, make sure to listen to the song Excalibur Galactic with good sound (loud quality speakers or headphones are a must!)

Run Seven




Run Seven is from the UK, and are a refreshing blast of House/Electro. I would compare them to Just A Band, which I had posted a few weeks ago. They have that more broken up style of house that I live for, but remain very listenable.

There EP dropped a few months ago and is solid to say the least. It is available for purchase here.


Run Seven - Diamonds

Make sure to give them some myspace love. Enjoy and have a great week everyone!
