FUNKDOGS

Dam-Funk's Stones Throw Rhythm Trax are so good. He's Volume 4 in the series (I also recommend James Pants' Volume 1) and he brings the funk like no other. Space, satellites, lasers, martians, Jupiter. The track names are all colors, that is if you consider "Chocolate" and "Sunset" colors. These are eight fairly quick electro-funk jams, perfect for shinin through the L.A. night.

Buy that digital/CD/vinyl here.

Also download the longer piece "Let's Take Off (Far Away)" here, via dublab.

Dude's also upped two old tracks on his Myspace as well, "No More Love" + "I Like Yo Big Azz Girl," so check those out too.

AND you can catch Dam-Funk as he rolls around the country with Stones Throw brethren Peanut Butter Wolf ("playing videos"), James Pants ("performing with his band Royal Zodiac"), and Mayer Hawthorne. Tour starts April 21 and the closest they'll be is the Paradise in Boston May 4 so get hyped.

Charizma + Peanut Butter Wolf - "Red Light Green Light"


James Pants - "We're Through"


Here's some Mayer Hawthorne heart-shaped vinyl biz:

I really can't get enough of "Suburban Dogs" by Real Estate. Downloaded it here a bit ago and this past week it's basically been on repeat. They've got the nostalgia thing down like no other. I'm kind of forgetting I'm not from Jersey.
