Cover: Grizzly Bear takes on Hot Chip’s Boy From School

We’ve reached midday here and I’m starting to fade fast (that Memory Tapes from the morning only buzzed me for so long).  Lucky for me (and you) I’ve been spicin’ up my lunch break with a cover from Grizzly Bear.  Thanks to the persisitence of Australia’s Triple J, we now have a beautiful toned down (in the way GB can only do) redux of the classic Hot Chip track “Boy From School”.

Wow.  This might just be better than their “Owner Of A Lonely Heart” cover.

Speaking of Hot Chip, they have a new album out today called One Life StandGet it.  Here’s a track off of it:

New Lissy Trullie Video – Ready For The Floor (Hot Chip Cover)

lissy trullie

Lissy Trullie has already bowled me over with her Self-Tight Learner EP which features a killer cover of Hot Chip’s “Ready For The Floor”.  It’s probably one of the best covers I’ve heard in a while.  Well guess what?  It now has a video to go along with it (good guess!):

The video directed by Richard Kern (The Breeders, King Missile, Marilyn Manson) has Lissy blazing the song with her band in a large variety of outfits.  Here’s the track:

Friday (I’m A Remix)

Don’t you love when the work week ends on a mellow note?  Most of the time it ends in a scramble to GET THINGS ACCOMPLISHED, but this week has taken a brighter end with smiles and relaxation in the work place.  Right now this job doesn’t seem so bad when this kind of atmosphere is filling the room.  Time to blast some tunes to continue this mood (because there’s always another week looming after the weekend).

A Simple Thank You

Well one year ago today we put up our first post here on Pasta Primavera, and I thought I should write a little somethin’ somethin’ to reflect back on our first year in the blogosphere.  Years ago I wanted to start a music blog, but I was working a certain crappy job that paid the bills, but didn’t leave much time for anything else.  So I was content on reading blogs like Gorilla Vs. Bear, I Guess I’m Floating, 3hive, Sixeyes, and So Much Silence for my music fix.  A little over 13 months ago I was fortunately able to ditch that job for a new one that let my mind (and time) ease up a bit, and that’s when I thought up the idea for the blog Pasta Primavera (the name has it’s origin from the Beastie Boys lyric ‘I’m all mixed up like pasta primavera‘ from What Comes Around off of Paul’s Boutique).  JB, Simon (evilhomer), and I joined forces just to share our thoughts on music with each other.  We really didn’t think anyone would find us and actually read what we were writing.  A few months into it we realized that people were actually reading so we started to take things a bit more seriously (well not that serious, but serious enough to say we’re serious).  We also began to take notice of the enormous and awesome music scene from the Baltimore/DC/Philly section of the east coast and made a goal to support it to the best of our abilities.  After that things were just a blast.  Tons of great music constantly passes through our ears and we try our best to pass it on to you.  Finally I just want to say thanks…to everyone who has spent more than a second perusing our site in search of that musical note to brighten your day.  Without you we’d just be some blog somewhere doing something.  With you, we’re Pasta Primavera.  Here’s to reminiscing….
