Tagadelicize

I finally got around to doing something about the abysmal navigation of this site by adding the Tagadelic module to it. Having now gone through the site and added tags to each post denoting musical styles, artist names and post types, I can now say there's some kind of structure to my insane ramblings. Tag Clouds can now be found on the side navs; Click the "more tags" link for the entire category. For a list of the most widely used tags, you can go here. Additionally, there are links in the main nav now to Artists, Post Type and Sound Like (musical styles). Not every artist on the site has been tagged but a good number of them have.

So, whether you are new to the site or have been lurking since the early days, enjoy exploring the sounds the robots like to hear.

NewGaze

You know what? I think I'm starting to burn out on everything Neu Rave (no, it's NOT rave) / New French Touch (God I hate that term) / Noisy Machine Rock / Ed Banger style - the RobotSound™ posse have given to derisively referring to all of it as "Daft Punk Breaks." Maybe because it's just a bit too prevalent and trendy or that in six month's time I'll have heard just about everybody trying to sound like or get remixed by the latest incarnation of Justice/SebastiAn/Boys Noize/Kitsune act. Don't get me wrong - some of it is brilliant. But seriously, I'm beginning to have a hard time differentiating everything; listen to it for too long and you start to malfunction like some head-spinning, out-of-control cyborg! Are any of you experiencing this output? Can I get an "exact match" anyone?

Now that I've ranted, I think I may have found the antidote to my current, sample-induced frenzy. It's more of a return to a personally, much-loved era in music, albeit with some modernizing upgrades. This is for those of you who liked getting lost in the dreamy soundscapes of Slowdive and Seefeel, or enjoyed drifting away to the hazy abrasiveness of My Bloody Valentine or The Jesus and Mary Chain. It's perfect for your post-Night Out soundtrack. I believe you'll agree that sometimes it's nice to just leave them all behind and get washed away in the distortion.

Loud is the New Quiet.

Seeing that today could be The Apocalypse, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to post some favorite "EVIL" tunes for you all, my satanic robot minions.
