“[The songs] unleash this funny little voice to scamper behind your chair and play with your toes. Meanwhile the beats are as great and as simple as the music out of a magic door… This is what opening that door sounds like in 2013.”
Electric Musique May Release A New Studio Album When It’s Finished
Around 2004 Electric Musique was formed. A number of “experimental” albums and EPs were released. However, it wasn’t until 2006 that Electric Musique really broke onto the scene with the hit album DiscoTechnician.
Anyways, Electric Musique spent the summer and fall of 2006 playing shows comprised mostly of songs from DiscoTechnician. After 2006, Electric Musique returned to more “experimental” music and released that “experimental” music prolifically. Prolifically. DiscoTechnician is really the only album Clark Magic, the f**kin’ mastermind behind Electric Musique, has called a “studio album.”
“Yeah. It’s a studio album – I used a mic and recorded the album with a computer. That’s a studio,” said Clark Magic.
Anyways, in the time since DiscoTechnician was recorded, Clark Magic, the f**kin’ mastermind, joined a number of side projects including The Stairwells, 2 In Tents, Penny Sleepover, The Cookie Is Yum, Thunder Tusk, Unionville, The In Turns, and a lot of other stuff having to do with music.
Anyways, some people have wondered (even lost sleep wondering) if Electric Musique would l ever return to the studio. It’s been seven years.
Well, the answer may be “yes.”
Rumors are swirling – SWIRLING! – that Electric Musique may be recording a studio album right now and that that album could be out this spring or summer or whenever it gets done.
MUSIC!
This is stupid
Apparently, Kristen Stewart (and, thus, Snow White) is being dropped from the Snow White/Huntsman sequel. For someone who, yes, enjoyed the first in what is now a “series.” this is pathetic news.
The sequel will be all about the Huntsman, which is pretty damn lame. The reason? Drama. Weak sauce. Weak sauce.
The Campaign
The Campaign was pretty damn hilarious. It some ways it’s very basic in plot and structure, but that doesn’t really matter. What matters is that it stars Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis, and they both hit the mark.
Additionally, the movie takes a direct swing at the Citizens United decision and the Koch brothers. In fact, the movie has upset the Koch brothers so much that this quite, conservative twosome did something rare and had their PR team release a statement. That’s a win. You can read a bit about it here:
Monday, Galifianakis gave an interview to the N.Y. Daily News about the movie, and used it to deride the Kochs. “They are creepy and there is no way around that. It’s not freedom what they are doing.”
The Koch organizations have responded to CNN, via a quote from spokesman Phil Ellender.
Last we checked, the movie is a comedy. Maybe more to the point is that it’s laughable to take political guidance or moral instruction from a guy who makes obscene gestures with a monkey on a bus in Bangkok. We disagree with his uninformed characterization of Koch and our beliefs. His comments, which appear to be based on false attacks made by our political opponents, demonstrate a lack of understanding of our longstanding support of individual freedom, freedom of expression, and constitutional rights.
If you’re up for an hour and a half of good laughs, check out this movie (it you’ll also help piss off the Koch brothers).
