Cheese On Toast: Film

Ben Anderson and the Living Diamonds – What’s On Your Mind?

admin — Sat, 03 Apr 2010 22:55:05 +0000

So are we listening to some, up till now, undiscovered gem from the Stax back- catalogue? You’d be forgiven for thinking so. But actually it’s a new Auckland band led by a very nice quiet young man who sometimes works at Alleluyah. Go figure.

The Drab Doo Riffs – Trouble

admin — Sat, 03 Apr 2010 22:50:11 +0000

Brand new from Auckland’s finest Drab Doo Riffs – and flippin’ heck the riffs on this are heavy – insanely good!

Losers feat Riz MC & Envy – Flush

Losers are DJ Eddy Temple-Morris and former Cooper Temple Clause man Tom Bellamy. They’ve teamed up on their debut single with two rappers – who have a relationship breakdown on the mics. It’s dirty, grimey, bleepy and most, most excellent.

Tiger Tones – Fire/Desire

When you’re a DJ in a seventies disco movie, someone will hand you their latest track that they brought to teh club straight from the studio after being mastered.

This happened to me at Club To Death the other week – Tiger Tones, recently relocated to Auckland handed me this slice of dfa-esque house that makes LCD Soundsystem’s new album seem a bit poo, really.

Mothers of Darkness – Flamingo

This slice of psychotic psychedelic badness is so freaking good. It winds around you like a boa constrictor on acid.

MGMT – Flash Delerium

admin — Sat, 03 Apr 2010 03:52:45 +0000

MGMT are back with a new album – Congratulations – and it’s sounding like an interesting response to their unwanted pop-stardom from the debut album’s hit singles. Radical.

SWICK – GROW UP (CASSIAN REMIX)

admin — Sat, 03 Apr 2010 03:51:11 +0000

Swick is apparently 17 years old. He’s from Melbourne. He should totally Grow Up… oh wait, no, that’s just the name of this song – it’s pure disco house that fucking MOVES.

Frightened Rabbit – Nothing Like You

admin — Sat, 03 Apr 2010 00:59:20 +0000

Cheese on Toast is lovin’ the lead single from Scot-indie-rockers Frightened Rabbit’s new album The Winter of Mixed Drinks.

‘Tis the tale of breaking up with someone and being brutally honest about moving on. “There’s nothing liek something new / And this girl; she was nothing like you” harsh!

And chord progressions to kill for.

Kate Nash – I Just Love You More

admin — Sat, 03 Apr 2010 00:53:49 +0000

Unexpectedly aweome, frankly. This track was made available on her website as a lead up to the release of her sophomore album My Best Friend Is You. If this track is anything to go by Nash has traded in sounding a bit like Lily Allen for now sounding a bit like Karen O. That can’t be a bad thing can it.

Major Lazer vs Harold Faltermeyer – Pon De Foley (Ludachrist remix)

admin — Sat, 03 Apr 2010 00:49:39 +0000

ZOMFG! Ludachrist has created a freakin’ banger by splicing together the classic Axel F (by Harold Faltermeyer) hook and Major Lazer’s Pon De Floor. It’s nuts and it works!
