Hey — update your bookmarks! WordPress.com has a few limitations, like not being able to change the HTML for this blog, so I’m moving on.

The new home for Undersea Community is over here.

As a farewell, enjoy — the Nunavut coat of arms:

and a dancing Dude:

see you on the other side…

Great new tune from the new Modeselektor album, “Happy Birthday”:

Modeselektor – 2000007 (Featuring TTC)

TTC v Modeselektor — always brilliant. Modeselektor are playing Dublin in November. Check the live set in that post…

bonus:

Modeselektor – The Dark Side of the Sun

Apparently Dan Deacon was just brilliant. I’m on contractions-watch, so no gigs for me!

Anyway, I’m going back through the CBS.nu Top 100, listening to lots of great italo. Haven’t seen this 1984 slice of tune posted around, but it definitely deserves listening — enjoy:

Jo Squillo Eletrix – Avventurieri

(includes a little free bonus chat from I-F at the end!)

Don Rosco informs me that Dan Deacon, absurdist kiddycore electro guy from Baltimore, is playing tomorrow night at Crawdaddy in Dublin. Sounds like it’d be mental:

Dan Deacon – Wham City (thanks to ÜberDrivel)

There’s an excellent Modeselektor live set over at magooo; apparently they’ll be playing in the Tivoli in Dublin, November 1st….

Quick bit of futuristic-pervy-funk, from the Rollerball soundtrack by Andre Previn:

Andre Previn – Executive Party (Rollerball soundtrack)

The other day, I posted a link to “Jimmy”, the best track off M.I.A.’s new album, Bollywood-meets-disco style:

M.I.A. – Jimmy

turns out it’s a cover. DJ Bwyse at Talking in Stereo brings the original:

Bappi Lahiri, Chorus, Kishore Kumar, Nandu Bhende, Parvati K – Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Aaja

While accordian-wielding Canadians continue to be the inexplicable flavour of the year in Dublin, LCD Soundsystem are pulling a few less punters; their Oct 20 gig at Tripod still has tickets left at Ticketbastard. Go on, you know you want to. It also looks like they’re adding a second night at the Temple Bar Music Centre on Friday the 19th…

LCD Soundsystem – Freak Out / Starry Eyes

RIP Lee Hazlewood; that renal cancer got him in the end.

You can still download “Some Velvet Morning” from my post from last year, and here’s another:

Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood – Summer Wine

I just picked up The Human League’s first two albums, “Reproduction” and “Travelogue”, brilliant pioneering synth-pop from the band’s original line-up in 1979 and 1980:

The Human League – Zero As A Limit

This tune has cropped up in the odd Ladytron DJ set:

The Human League – Empire State Human

This one contains the synth bassline that Joakim’s remix of Cajuan’s “Raven” sampled earlier this year:

The Human League – Dreams Of Leaving
