deerhunter-rainwater

Bradford Cox has announced the release of a new EP from Deerhunter entitled Rainwater Cassette Exchange (out digitally 5/18 and physically 6/8).  It’s a five track release and was recorded with Microcastle engineer Nicolas Vernhes.  Cox was also nice enough to release the title track for all to hear in it’s spacey rainwatery grandness!

Friday (I’m A Remix) – MSTRKRFT/Bon Iver/Simian Mobile Disco/Boys Noize

This week has been an interesting one hasn’t it?  You’ve got the chimp attacking people then getting shot then inspiring a controversial comic strip for the New York Post criticizing Obama and the stimulus plan.  The Oceanic 6 are now back on the island…finally…and finally there’s an episode that had only one flash of light in it…they were getting a little excessive with that.  Tonight is also the last night for Conan O’Brien in the Big Apple.  I’m hoping it all works out for him on the west coast.  If you’re a sports fan the Orioles spring training is now in full swing… umm… whoopee?   Hard to get excited about that when we haven’t had a winning season since Quantum Leap was all the rage… but if you focus on the O’s perhaps it will take your mind off of the beating the Maryland Men’s Basketball team just took at Clemson…yikes.  I digress.  Here’s to hoping the weekend brings some cheer to all you folks.  Since I can’t serve alcohol on this blog here’s some remixes on the rocks.

New Music: Simian Mobile Disco “Synthesise”

So this track has kind of spread like a wildfire over the internet and it finally caught up to me.  Simian Mobile Disco’s new one “Synthesise” didn’t wow me like past songs, but all in all it’s still SMD and that still means it’s a step above a lot of music that’s out there.  They have a new album due out sometime this year.  Can’t wait!  Also don’t miss them here in Baltimore at Sonar on April 25th.  Enjoy!

mp3: Simian Mobile Disco – Synthesise

Thanks to PMA for the mp3.  Here’s the visual performance of the track…be warned…it gave me a headache…

Simian Mobile Disco Create Track For Nike’s “Original Run”

Like LCD Soundsystem and A-Trak, Simian Mobile Disco has recently created a new 30 minute track for Nike to be listened to while working out.  It’s a pretty decent idea, and it doesn’t hurt when you have these guys making the music.  Here’s a snippet of the track courtesy of the Culture Of Me (you can buy the full length on Itunes).

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….
