DELOREAN vs HOT PINK DELOREAN

My new favorite act of the moment is Delorean.  I discovered them via
hypem.com, I'm sure, but maybe via a blog linked off there.  I don't
remember.

I DO remember, however, that I keep their MySpace page open so I can
listen to their new stuff whenever I want.

They have a new album out.  My favorite track that so far is SEASUN.
You should go listen.

Really.

Delorean is pretty atmospheric electro-pop, with some sort of neat
early 90's Manchester feel in some of the echo on the vocals.  Nice
and spacey and pretty without being too melancholy.

NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH:

HOT PINK DELOREAN, which can be found here and is some serious party rocking music that I find incredibly fun and bouncy.

BEEF Records

I've really enjoyed the Beef Records weekly/biweekly podcasts:
http://www.beefrecords.net/podcasts/Podcast/Podcast.html

I first found them when I searched Google Listen on my phone for 'techno'. :)
Mostly house/tech-house. Very tasty. Most of you here would enjoy it.

Specifically I've been loving Lucas Hulan's mix from January 15th:

This mix really turned me on to a project called Hot Natured:

the track by them that kicks complete ass is called Electric Jones.
You'll have to go find that one... OR LISTEN TO THIS MIX SO GODDAMN
GOOD.

Lazzich: Just Seen Nights

This is my first post, not sure if the markup will come through properly.  Will repost if it is all garbled.

I also ask that the copy-pasting be kept to a minimum.  Who wants another music blog full of huge paragraphs of text that can be found via a simple hyperlink/search?  Keep the commentary terse and poignant, I say.

I first heard this guy via deepmix.ru (a staple here at zhouse).  Very mellow, clicky music emanating from Moscow.   It doesn't get too up in your face unless you want it to, ie. perfect for whatever you're doing around the house or at work, a backdrop for deep conversations, yet intricate enough to focus on with closed eyes.

Questionable Content's (questionablecontent.net) resident band Deathmole.

Copypasta from http://www.last.fm/music/Deathmøle:

Deathmøle
Biography
Deathmøle is a virtual post-metal band, whose works are freely
available over the internet, created by Jeph Jacques in 2005. The band
is currently comprised of three characters from his comic,
Questionable Content: Marten Reed (Lead Guitar), Amir Afridi (Bass
Guitar), and Hannelore Ellicott-Chatham (Drums). Until recently, the
band also included Natasha (Sonic Texturalist/Keyboard), who left in
2008.
Since its inception, Jeph has periodically released Deathmøle songs
through his livejournal, as well as recently uploading a good deal of
his catalog to Last.fm and to his own music page. To date, they have
released five albums, four of which are complete, as well as a
one-song demo called Death From Below. While Deathmøle’s first song
showcases a downtempo slowcore-ish vibe, their songs have since
settled into the familiar Pelican, Jesu, and Wolves in the Throne
Room-influenced post-metal structure known today.
According to QC lore, the band members all first met in Northampton,
Massachusetts, where Marten, Amir and Hannelore worked various blue
collar jobs and Natasha attended post-secondary school at Smif
College. The band took its first form when Natasha and Amir met at the
restaurant where Amir worked, upon which Natasha recognized him as the
owner of a tooth she had kicked out his face at a Converge show two
weeks earlier. Sometime later, they had the idea to start an
electro-spaz post-hardcore band, with Amir on bass and Natasha on
keyboards.
As fate would have it, Marten lived in the same building as Natasha,
where the then-current members of Deathmøle had been having their
first and only jam session as a two-piece band. After everything
calmed down, her roommate suggested that Marten could help make their
songs more musical, upon which Amir invited Marten to come jam with
them. The result was that their approach to music changed drastically,
becoming somewhat more subdued and adopting its current sound (Natasha
is famously quoted as initially only agreeing to play ironically). It
was then decided that the band needed a name, a duty Natasha promptly
took upon herself despite initial protests from the other band
members.
About a week later, the band began to look for an actual drummer, as
the synth beats provided by Natasha did not suffice. Taking
initiative, Marten decided that since neither he nor the others knew
any drummers who weren’t, to quote Amir “in bands, dicks, or both,”
that it would be better to train one. He turned to a friend and
another occupant of his apartment building, Hannelore, who, because of
her severe OCD and ample spending money, made an ideal candidate.
After a quick trip to the music store, Marten managed to convince
Hannelore to join with minimal effort, and the band remained a
four-piece up until Natasha left after taking offense to implications
that her ability to play the guitar was subpar. The band is still
looking for a rhythm guitarist.
